Person: *avoids death*
Death: so you have chosen death

final destination is the only thing that can make people, who've never had anxiety, understand anxiety

Ah yes, the movie series that has traumatized many generations into not driving behind trunks and of sorts

I always thought it was funny to think Death didn’t realize clear was next until Alex says it out loud. He’s stalking Alex, hears that, and just leaves, putting out the lamp.

Final Destination has one of the scariest original horror movie ideas.

My dad thought it would be hilarious to show me this film the night before I was going on a 26-hour flight to New Zealand, which was also the first time I ever got on a plane. I was 13 and that was the most intense 26 hours that you can imagine. Thanks a lot, Dad. 🙄

Final Destination is probably the only horror movie franchise that genuinely scares me. Something about dying by "accidents" is way scarier than being haunted by a murder happy knife guy. Of course not every one is made equal, some have way too unrealistic deaths, unrealistic deaths don't work so well in an "accident" based series.

Someone: _avoids death_
Death: “you weren’t supposed to do that”

Someone might’ve explained this but imma say it anyway. At 7:12 the glass breaks because of the shockwaves that came as a result of the explosion. It’s realistic that shockwaves can break glass but what is unrealistic is that the shockwaves traveled to the glass in under 5 seconds the plane exploded, realistically it should’ve taken over 10 seconds for the shockwaves to travel to the glass and destroy it.

With how ominous his warning was, and how he said "See you soon," I like to think that in a version of the story, Bloodworth wasn't actually a mortician. He was Death itself. Just my impression from watching this Kill Count.

Honestly as someone with a massive sense of paranoia, Alex honing in onto random, innocuous things as “threatening” feels incredibly at home

I've always wondered if death was a force of nature or its own entity in the Final Destination series

“The plane’s gonna explode!” Dumbledore said calmly

I think this is one of the scariest concepts
Not getting killed by some guy in a mask with a big knife
But escaping death once and then knowing that you can never escape your fate, you will inevitably die

For anyone wondering about the seat switching mention that confused James, it’s saying that Alex wasn’t actually next in line to die, he had already evaded it

Clear was the only smart one in the group. Believing Alex and even showing gratitude for her survival.

Who else kinda feels bad for Billy? He didn’t deserve to die no matter if he stayed on the plane or if he got of. He just seemed like a chill guy who got bullied.

Credit to Tony Todd for bringing Bloodworth to life. I can only imagine if he was that intimidating as a teacher. "Fail the next test again and I'll see you in Summer school"

When I was a middle schooler, I watched final destination 4 at a friend's house, and then a week later my parents took me to a nascar race. I was terrified the cars were gonna flip into the stands

You know you would think that Death would know about these premonitions and take them into account. Honestly I think it actually LOVES the opportunity to do these stupid elaborate and sadistic kills

If Tony Todd is ever in a movie you can almost guarantee he's gonna be epic.

It makes a ton of sense that this would start as a script for an X-Files episode, I can totally imagine Mulder and Scully trying to find the survivors of tragic accidents in order to stop “Death” from claiming them.

This is more of a “Death Count” than a “Kill Count”, really.

18:54 I love this because I imagine it like even death was confused by the movie.
It's like death is in the cabin saying "Ok alex I'm coming to get you. Rest in pi... Oh what's that you got there? What are you reading? Her seat was... Oh. Well ok then, I guess I'll just come back later then."

I love how Terry’s cause of death is “hit by a bus real freakin hard”

Todd dry shaving bare skin is probably the most disturbing part of this whole movie

"You gotta be a fucked up god to take down this plane"
He says as if God himself didn't kill basically all of humanity (except for the boat dude and his family) that one time

It's great to see James' growth as a content creator. The improvement in the narrations has been amazing. Just visiting this series again because it's a classic.

Out of everyone who had the vision
I think alex browning is the most smartest about death's design
Heck he even death proof himself and a cabin

I like to think that Tony Todd ' s character was also involved in an accident much like Alex ' s and that ' s why he knows so much about death .

Purge: Takes about 20 minutes to beat the kill count record
Final Destination: Beats it in less than 5 minutes

I burst out laughing when I first saw Terry get hit by the bus, I thought it was funny she told them to drop dead then promptly did so herself lol

I’m absolutely fascinated by these films, I’ve read the plots and looked up all the trivia etc but the only one I’ve ever managed to watch all the way through is 3. They just freak me out so much! The fact that there is no visible killer and no escape is so scary to me (I’m a massive wimp tbf)

2 years later, but we can add one more horror credit to Devon Sawa (Alex Browning), as he now plays the father and uncle in the Chucky TV Series.

I like Terry’s death it was really sudden and unexpected and the the first time I saw it I was like “oh shit”

I just realized that if someone started freaking out on a plane similar to Alex, I would have no idea what to do since I would think of this movie, get off and survive or die in a potentially more painful way sometime later, or stay on the plane to either survive and the person was just having an anxiety attack or die in the explosion.

The purge: we got the most kills
Final Destination: hold my plane
Zombieland double tap: not so fast
DBPM3: *giggles*

My theory of what Bluddworth says about inciting a fury in the Grim Reaper, is actually the reason for the complicated deaths in the movies.
His original design where horrible deaths. They usually were over pretty quickly and maybe painlessly sometimes. (Again, stretching that a fair bit but humor me.)
But, you cheated death and now he wants to make you suffer. Now, death could just stop your heart, but that's what I think Bluddworth means by angering him. Instead of something simple like a heart attack, he wants to toy with you. He wants you to suffer. He wants everyone you save to suffer.
Let you stew in your grief, then kill you in a complicated messed up death that you probably see coming but have no way to stop or worse, your in horrible agony the entire time (Case in point Tods death)
That's what I think. I genuinely love these movies so I thought about it for a long time."

i really liked how billy's 3/4 decapitation was spoiled early on the movie when the reflection of the plane traced across his face.

As someone with serious flying anxiety... I feel every single one of Alex's nervousness moments prior to the flight. ALL of those things would freak me out, too.

the first FD is legendary. I was in first year of highschool, me and my classmates went to the movies almost every weekend. I had to lie to my mom that I am watching some comedy because she hated me watching horror. but this really was golden age of teen horror. Final Destination, Scream, I know what you did last summer, Urban Legend, Ginger Snaps. Good times lol.

I've been binge rewatching Kill Counts and going back and watching the movies I can find. This channel is an endless source of entertainment!

I like how Dead Meats videos got longer because he actually explain scenes and how the person dies other than other channels they only shows us the death. Keep up the good work Dead Meat

“Sir we will remove you from this plane.”
“Fuck you, I’ll remove myself.” Still my favorite line, ever.

I love that in the scene before Tod's death, they have an owl appear as in some cultures, owls are omens of death! I'm sure that was intentional as well!

I wish they would’ve given us the original ending I’d much rather see Clear as a mother to Alex’s child than her dying in a sequel. She honestly deserved the happy ending consider all she’s been through .

The warning sign at 10:08 is even better in German, since "Tod" also means "death" in german

I liked this movie for the reasons you said he was over worrying about. I feel like this movie really shows how crazy some of these coincidences could actually be. Always admired this franchise for that, which is why ive watched it 100 times

Billy straight pissed himself after barely missing the train and I'm not gonna lie, I would have too. Props to the writing team and director for making that visible and VERY realistic thing.

I saw these films when I was like 7 and it made me so paranoid and afraid of dying. Especially the plane stuff. I’m going to Italy and Spain for a school trip and so many wrong things go through my mind, like “what if we run out of fuel over the ocean”

Here a fact for you: towards the end of the fifth movie, Sam and Molly happen to be on the same plane that Alex and the others were on, so that means we’re back at the beginning of the series, IT’S A NEVER ENDING LOOPHOLE!

I've loved movies since I was a kid, and even though I'm not new to this channel, I have to say that I respect what James A. Janisse does, not only through his amazing descriptions and reviews of movies, but the fact that he is an avid fan of horror films, which shows in each of his videos. Keep doing it, my dude!

I can imagine the grim reaper saying "CHOO CHO MOTHER*******!"
as if he doesn't take his job seriously

I love how alex 'calmly explain' what he saw in his premonition ...
Alex: "F*CKING PLANE'S GONNA EXPLODE"

Final Destination movies are like one minute you're making soup and the other your entrails are spilling on the floor and your house is on fire.

As someone who is terrified of flying , although I have flies before I have extreme issue getting myself psyched up enough to go on a flight, I totally get Alex’s paranoia. Everybody has that one thing that really gets to them and for some, it’s riding on a plane

This is one of the few horror movies that can scare you for years.

I've always loved this franchise and I was exited to finally come to it on this channel.

The Movie Series That Made A Whole Generation Fear Almost Everything

A Moment of Silence for the Former Kill Count Record Holder.

I still cope with the fact that some of those a-holes decided to hate Alex just because he saved their sorry asses from getting fried.
Man these pre 2000s movies were wild.

I love that Death has an affinity for teens in this universe.

17:24
I love how after the knife block falls in the movie, the block behind James tips over as well.

I think Alex was looking at the storm outside, not the plane. Honestly, I’d be hesitant to get on a plane during a lightning storm too.

The weird death-water thing with Todd could’ve been avoided if they just designed a set floor with a drain! Not super common for home bathrooms, but better than out of place reversed footage

"Final Destination was released in 2000" "Shrek was released 2 years later in 2001"
Quick math

Thanks for getting Clear's name right. SO MANY PEOPLE insist on calling her Claire.

Fun Fact: he doesn't stand in front of his horror collection, he stand infront of a green screen because his body edit was glitched in one of saw or final destination kill count

16:54
„Choo choo motherfuckers.“
I love it when he says that 😂

every now and then i wander my way back into this playlist. these movies were such a huge part of my life man.

I always wondered if death thought
"You know, I shouldn't give people premonitions of horrible freak accidents, that way they don't cheat me so I can take them without putting effort on this kill chain thing I got, and call it a day"
That would've ended the series right there.

I love how the knife rack in the background had its knives gone after Val Lewton's death.
Real subtle, James.

I interpreted the scene where he realizes that he never switched seats with those two ladies is that he wasn’t supposed to go against that idea, and now worse things are yet to come.

As someone with anxiety, it's funny and depressing to watch other people feel how I feel every day.... but with more death

"In Death, there ARE no accidents. No coincidences, no mishaps, and no escapes."☠
- William Bludworth(Tony Todd),
Final Destination(2000)

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but using the line map Alex had, seeing how many seats there was and the line of events, you can sorta get the ratio of male to female on the plane, starting easy with the French class students - (3:23) 11 Females & 9 Males. Then the plane itself, first shot - (5-14) Roughly 2 Females & 3 Males, along with the poor baby. | Shot 2&3 - (5:22 & 5:44) 20 Females & 21 Males | We also see 3/4 different female flight attendants -- while this is not 287, it breaks it down slightly to; 36/7 Females & 33 Males, About 70 of the people on the plane.

This video actually made me a fan of Buckcherry. Thanks James!

This is the movie that makes you suddenly super aware of your surroundings and then gives you anxiety about literally everything around you.

James I suggest for kills that happen like that (the plane), you count that as one kill when you divide the kills by the runtime.

God I love final destination

Buckcherry was one of the first bands I also saw. I went to see Alice Cooper back in March and they were the opening band for Alice. Honestly they are a pretty underrated band. Deserves A LOT of more love.

My biggest issue with this movie is how forced Alex's incrimination is

That last look of Carter as the sign comes towards him is still one of the funniest reactions in any film, just a look of pure "Oh, you gotta be FUCKING kidding...". Thank god for reshoots.

"I'll see you soon."
That line, from a mortician, might be the best line in any horror movie.

The reason that Alex was paranoid by looking at the plane was because it looked rusty and unstable and the giant flight board there were flights being cancelled for some reason.

I remember a point where people would put SFX from the show "Ed, Edd, n Eddy" over scenes from these movies, and they always worked a little too well...

I always interpreted Alex as having anxiety more than just being superstitious. As someone with anxiety themself, I've had a lot of moments like his where something that seems innocuous is ominous to me. Or maybe that's just my dumb brain, forget I said anything.

my brain works like Alex's in the sense that I worry about everything but not because there's a reason to be worried, just because I have a fear of the unknown and things not in my control.

When I saw this movie I was afraid of roller coasters and airplanes, luckily I overcame my fears just in time before my vacation to Disney World.

The belko experiment: we’ll have the highest kill count
The purge: hold my mini guns
*final destination: hold my oxygen mask*

Fun Fact: Tod Waggner comes from Paul Wegener who starred in The Golem, Terry Chaney comes from Lon Chaney who starred in The Phantom of the Opera (1925), and Larry Murnau comes from F.W. Murnau director of Nosferatu

Me after watching the deaths in the Final Destination series: I am afraid of everything. Everything is pain.

I'm so happy you covered this movie ! Its one of my favorites

If I was in a final destination movie I’d probably be the one who died by falling both in the premonition and the avoidance sequence

I know people hate reboots but I wouldn't hate another final destination sequel or reboot. These movies were legit horror to me as a kid

* avoids death*
Death: *he is too dangerous to be kept alive*

4:56 Now that you point that out, I headcannon Alex as having OCD. The feeling of small things setting off the idea that worst fears are going to come true is actually so relatable to me as someone with OCD. Especially at the beginning where he feels like he needs to keep the tag on his luggage.

If we ever get Final Destination 6, I want them to explore why some people get premonitions and cheat death. It’ll add a new thing to the series

Sean William Scott is funny as hell... I wonder his career was put on holt
