00:00We're all gonna die, aren't we?
00:01Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at some of the most iconic demises in the long-running Final Destination franchise.
00:08But the longer we go on, the crazier it gets.
00:11I mean, I could try it a hundred times and never recreate exactly what happened here.
00:15Of course, some killer spoilers are on the way.
00:19Number 10. Plane Explosion. Final Destination 5.
00:22Death by plane crash doesn't sound all that creative.
00:26What's all that about?
00:27I have no idea.
00:28But when it ties all the way back to the first film, it becomes a stroke of genius.
00:34While the first film begins with the protagonists narrowly escaping the ill-fated flight,
00:38the fifth installment pulls us into the horror inside it.
00:41As he witnesses original protagonist Alex reeling from his vision, Sam realizes all their efforts were in vain.
00:48No.
00:51Oh my god.
00:52Helpless to cheat death this time, Sam and Molly's ends are as cruel and terrible as fate intended.
00:57This twist brings the entire series full circle, setting up a remarkable finale few ever saw coming.
01:08Number 9. Shower Cord. Final Destination.
01:12Among the cast, Todd stands out as the most likable character.
01:16Look, when he gets over this thing, you and me, we'll go trip to the city, you know, catch the yanks.
01:23Yeah.
01:24Yeah, right, we'll do that.
01:25Of course, death does not care if you're a nice guy or not, and Todd is first on its list.
01:31In a film that shines the spotlight on each victim, his touching eulogy leaves no doubt that he will not be hanging around for too long.
01:38Never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun, or that death could arrive this same afternoon.
01:48This afternoon which is so certain, and which has every hour filled in advance.
01:56Unlike every other character, death seems to land a personal killing blow here, as mysterious, supernatural elements foreshadow Todd's demise.
02:04The suspense snaps just as quickly, with Todd tangled in a clothesline that squeezes the life out of him.
02:10That's why we always say, never forget to lay out those bath mats.
02:14What happened? Where's Todd?
02:17Number 8. Elevator Malfunction. Final Destination 2.
02:21A death that makes you turn your head from the screen, Nora goes out in a way she didn't deserve.
02:27If what you're saying is true, that means I'm next.
02:29Grieving the loss of her son, she has no idea she's next on death's chopping block.
02:35Although the others try to save her, their involvement only kick-starts her downfall.
02:39Hello?
02:39Nora!
02:40Who is this?
02:41Nora, can you hear me?
02:43Uh, Officer Burke, I can't, I, I can't hear you, what?
02:47What, what, what is he, what?
02:49A man with hooks is gonna kill you.
02:51Confused by vague clues and overwhelmed by panic,
02:54Nora misreads the signs and finds herself caught between the elevator doors.
02:58It is an unflinching, brutal reminder that death makes no exceptions.
03:02And for viewers afraid of enclosed spaces, let's just say you'd better hold your breath.
03:13Number 7. Falling Glass Pain. Final Destination 2.
03:17Nora's death is undeniably painful, but her son's demise has her beat.
03:21This will only sting for a moment.
03:23After so much goes wrong at the dentist's office, it feels like a death trap of its own.
03:27However, Tim manages to defy the odds.
03:30But Final Destination fans know a swerve when they see one.
03:34And it's clear that Tim is about to check out of this mortal coil.
03:37Nora!
03:39The pigeons!
03:39Where trouble at the dentist creeps up at an ominous pace,
03:45his death arrives at, shall we say, breakneck speed.
03:48It is awful, it is morbid, and it leaves the victim flatter than a pancake.
03:53It takes its time, but Tim's final moment hits like a ton of bricks.
03:57Or, in this case, a pane of glass.
03:59But she's next.
04:00Right now, I don't think she cares.
04:02Number 6. Weight Machine Fatality. Final Destination 3.
04:06While we're usually inclined to root for the survivors,
04:09there's always that one character who's just looking for trouble.
04:12If you ever have to come to my funeral,
04:15man, bring me a PSP or something.
04:17At least I have something to do then.
04:18Lewis fills that role in the third installment,
04:21scoffing at his fate at every turn
04:22and signing his own death warrant in the process.
04:25He doesn't do himself any favors by hitting the gym,
04:28surrounded by things that can easily kill him.
04:31It's wrong, dog.
04:33It's wrong.
04:34Even with a mountain of evidence,
04:36Lewis refuses to believe in death's design,
04:38unaware that his reckoning inches painfully closer.
04:41And, despite receiving another lease on life,
04:44Lewis's arrogance seals his doom,
04:46smashing all hope of survival right in his face.
04:49Did I do something?
04:53To bring this on everybody?
04:55Number 5. Poolside Flushout. The Final Destination.
04:59Be honest, could you ever have guessed a death like this?
05:02That's funny, huh?
05:06Give me the gun.
05:07Of all the bizarre ways to bite it,
05:09Hunt Wynorski gets taken out by a pool suction drain.
05:12It's a death you have to see to believe,
05:14especially since the scene toys with the idea
05:16that Hunt might just survive.
05:18But when it arrives,
05:19he meets a particularly agonizing
05:21and frankly embarrassing end.
05:23We don't see the full aftermath,
05:35but judging by what shoots out of the pool pump,
05:37it's safe to say what's left of him
05:38isn't exactly pretty.
05:40Ironically, it all happens
05:42as he's chasing after his lucky coin.
05:44Though, at this point,
05:45it might be more accurate
05:46to call it his unlucky coin.
05:49Number 4. Laser Eye Surgery.
05:51Final Destination 5.
05:53While most Final Destination deaths
05:54subvert their buildup,
05:56Olivia's plays out exactly as expected.
05:58Well, a lot is going on in my life
06:00and I just, I don't want to miss anything.
06:04That doesn't make it any easier to watch, though.
06:07From the moment the scene begins,
06:09it is clear that death has its eye on her.
06:11Some careless negligence from her doctor
06:13and plain bad luck turn a routine laser surgery
06:16into a living nightmare.
06:17That's not so bad, is it?
06:19Although the procedure is effective 99% of the time,
06:23you won't find Olivia's name in any success stories.
06:26Not only does the malfunctioning equipment
06:28destroy her eye,
06:29but an unfortunate stumble
06:30sends her crashing out the window.
06:33Honestly, after watching this,
06:34we're sticking with contacts.
06:36Sam.
06:38Stay with me at night, please.
06:40Number 3. Death by Acupuncture.
06:43Final Destination 5.
06:44Let's just admit it.
06:45None of us is mourning when Isaac's time is up.
06:48This sexist, shallow, and overall obnoxious character
06:51irritates us throughout the film.
06:53Tell me about stress relief.
06:56And what does this really get me?
07:00This covers a session for two different physical therapies.
07:03Like massage therapy.
07:06Erotic massage.
07:08And after tossing sleazy comments at women
07:10and shamelessly mocking a Buddha statue,
07:12he has completely lost our sympathies.
07:14The scene taps into real-life anxiety
07:16surrounding acupuncture,
07:18playing on the fear of becoming a human pin cushion.
07:20Oh, oh, okay, it's in.
07:22It's definitely in.
07:22Oh, okay, yes, it is in.
07:24How many of these are you going to put in me?
07:26True to the series formula,
07:28it sets up one scenario
07:29only to completely surprise us with another.
07:32In the end,
07:33it's not the fire or the needles that get him.
07:36It's the statue he mocked,
07:37delivering a clever twist of poetic justice.
07:40So next time you check in for a spa session,
07:42maybe give the decor a second glance,
07:44just in case.
07:45You're saying it's a freak accident.
07:47Yeah, raise your hand if you believe that.
07:49Who dies during a massage?
07:51Seriously.
07:52Number two,
07:53Gymnastics Crash Landing,
07:55Final Destination 5.
07:57When it comes to swerves,
07:58this scene radiates with peak Final Destination energy.
08:02I think you got this.
08:05Really?
08:06From an exposed wire
08:07to a loose screw on the balance beam
08:09and even a bowl of powder,
08:10Death has a field day with Candace.
08:12Brimming with nerve-wracking tension,
08:14it keeps everyone on their toes
08:16from start to finish.
08:18Each time it seems Candace is done for,
08:20the scene spins another way.
08:27But it's all part of Death's grand design,
08:29as everything comes crashing down in an instant.
08:32One moment she's soaring through the air,
08:34the next she's folded like a human lawn chair.
08:37All things considered,
08:38the entire scene can be summed up in just one word.
08:41Ouch.
08:42Came as soon as I heard.
08:44She was doing great.
08:51She was almost finished the routine and then...

09:09Number one, Tanning Bed Burnout,
09:13Final Destination 3.
09:15If you ever doubted how this series
09:16could turn the most random moment
09:18into a full-blown death scene,
09:19then this one will convince you otherwise.
09:21No drinks in the room this time, okay?
09:30All Ashley and Ashlyn want is a good tan,
09:32but what they get is a full-body deep fry.
09:35Well done and extra crispy.
09:37To be fair,
09:38their own negligence sets things in motion,
09:40but death really seems to have it out
09:42for this pair of best friends.
09:43A few degrees won't hurt.
09:45Even when you know what's coming,
09:47it's still jarring to watch
09:48the way their final moments go up in flames.
09:50After this scene,
09:51it's safe to assume
09:52more than a few viewers
09:54swapped their tanning beds
09:55for a day at the beach.
09:56Don't be down, Frankie.
09:58Be proud of your ability
09:59to make everything that happens
10:00somehow a story about you.
10:02Which Final Destination death
10:03had you squirming in your seat?
10:05Let us know in the comments.
10:06I think if we just keep an eye out
10:07for any signs of danger,
10:08I think we got a shot, okay?
10:09Okay.
