Final Destination 2 (2003)
Three years after Final Destination went down so well, (that's not a pun regarding the plane crash by the way) new director David R. Ellis, cottoned on to what the audience wanted - blood, and lots of it. No boobs though.
How do you top the plane crash premonition from Final Destination? Answer: With a bloody great big motorway pile-up that doesn't hold back on the body count, that's how.
This is the Mrs Lewton-type death of Part 2 - it's a kitchen mishap, there's a bit of fire about, it's drawn-out. The only difference being is that Mrs Lewton, unfortunately, wasn't topless at the time of her death.
Pre-faced by the best/worst line of the entire franchise: "If Clear was right, that means Nora and Tim are going to be killed by pigeons!"
Right, that's the son taken care of, now to sort out the mother. Decapitated by a lift? Why the bloody hell not! Lovely!
This is a Final Destination first - two successive deaths in the same scene. It's a good job really. The first one is a little too quick - blink and you'll miss it. But the second one - now that's the money shot
These are by far the worst deaths of the franchise. Given that this is the death of Clear Rivers, who did a bang up job of evading death so well in the first film, you'd have thought she'd go out in more style. And Eugene? You don't even see him die! I expect more from my death porn!
This death is a turning point - if you look close enough, you can see precisely where the franchise loses its seriousness and simply plays for deaths and giggles (around the part where an arm lands on a dinner plate).
