I been re-watching the series and I have never seen a bigger dick then "Death". I mean "Death" is doing his job, but the more you watch these movies you see how in your face he is about it. What's up with these visions? They don't make sense why are these people getting signs, you can't escape death. I guess like most horror movies you are here for the kills, but I know they are going to die. If they are making a new one they did need to address these visions and why do they happen.

I guess the best thing about these movies is that Death hates racist people.

Visions are right up there with mind control in the "lousy artificial conflict creation" for me, yeah.

Yeah that's the thing cheesy as hell but different enough from the usual Slashers or Possession movies that they made for an entertaining series for a while.

Tony Todd ftw.

Who knows what will happen in the reboot they are doing.

If you were death and you were tasked with 100,000,000 years of killing human beings, wouldn't you eventually get flashy with it too? Just to alleviate the sheer humdrum of it all.

Death doesn't give them visions. The visions are another entity (likely Fate) given them a chance to evade death for a short while and enjoy life. Death is too busy chilling as Tony Todd to make too much offence.

The movies are such enjoyable garbage with friends. The visions seem like simple plot garbage to keep the story going.

But nothing beats Sean William Scott's character riding his bicycle in the middle of the night only to stumble upon Ms. Lewton's house aflame and exploding with her inside and Alex fleeing the scene. Absolutely hilarious.

Racist dude getting dragged down the street on fire, while "Why Can't We Be Friends" playing in the background is my fav part

I can't even fanwank an idea other than the visions to explain how this concept ever happens.

Death knows enough to know that this specific fated-to-die group of people are going to be in these specific places and these specific times. The only way the story can happen is if the method is subverted by another otherwordly element: hence, the visions.

It cleverly hides the year it takes place in. It never makes it a point so you assume it's present day. After all of the standard FD stuff occurs, the remaining survivors board a flight to France.

Then there's a ruckus on board as Devon Sawa has just had his vision and is saying the plane will crash. The survivors of 5 are then killed on the plane from the first FD movie.

Final Destination 3 DVD got a great feature
Special DVD editions labeled "Thrill Ride Edition" also include an optional feature called "Choose Their Fate", allowing viewers to make decisions at several points in the film. Most provide only minor alterations to the death scenes, but the first choice allows the viewer to stop Wendy, Kevin, Jason, and Carrie from boarding the roller-coaster before the premonition, ending the film immediately.

I always thought it was going to be revealed as some big cosmic game, where one entity - Death - kills certain people and the other - maybe God - provides clues for them to survive. The whole thing would just be one fun distraction for them, where Death comes up with bizarre and comical ways for their victims to die and God thinks up intentionally obscure hints to their survival.

Kind of a shame we never got to see who was sending those visions, but maybe the reboot will have something like that.
