Final Destination 3 Cut an end of twist that would have changed the whole franchise

Final destination 3 Very glued to the formula that had proven itself in the other two Final destination The films, but the original end would have offered a turn that changes the situation. The third film of Final destination Franchise continued the idea of ​​a protagonist having a vision of a disaster (a roller coaster accident in this case), saving herself and others from death, only so that death targets them to ensure that it is never deceived.

Final destination 3 was also the first film of the horror franchise not to present any of the survivors of the previous film, as Final destination 2 I saw the return of Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the only survivor of the first film. It turns out that plans initially planned to include a similar cast which would have been a nice surprise for the fans in the final scene while marking how determined death is to claim each life that escapes its reach.

The final destination 3 was going to connect to the final destination 2

Previous final destination survivors were going to get deadly cameos

While Final destination: lines connects the deductible in certain interesting ways, Final destination 3The original end is almost connected to Final destination 2 With cameras of Kimberly (AJ Cook) and officer Burke (Michael Landes). Final destination 3 ends with Wendy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Julie (Crew Amanda) and Kevin (Ryan Merriman) who apparently beaten the conception of death only to come up against months later in a metro, where they are probably killed when the train derailed.

According to producer Craig Perry, the idea was originally that Kimberly and Burke were also revealed on the train, where death would finally catch up. The two characters survived the famous log truck accident Final destination 2 And ended up being the only ones who remain alive at the end of the film, because they apparently defeated death for good. Final destination 3 Has shocked fans with their death, cement how difficult it is to deceive death in these films. Perry remembers (via digital spy):

“They were going to die to attach everything to Final destination 2. I loved the idea and we had it script and I was going to try it. We were able to obtain one of the two actors available, but the other was not. If we could not do it all along, we decided that it was better not to do it. Having only one of them leaves an open end that would make no sense in the overall death plan. “”

While they could not succeed in the exciting turn Final destination 3, Perry reveals that they knew it was an exciting idea for the franchise that could and would be used in the future:

We pocketed it because we knew there was a really interesting idea on the cause and the effect in the world of Final destinationThen he managed to land perfectly Final destination 5.

The final destination was right to leave this type of torsion to part 5

Final destination 5 has delivered the greatest torsion of the franchise

The fate of Kimberly and Burke in the Final destination The franchise remains a bit of a mystery that Final destination 3The end of origin could have cleared. However, this question is worth leaving unanswered, because the possible use of this torsion ending with Final destination 5 It was a much more impactful way to connect the movies while bothering to wait for the gain.

Final destination 5 ends with survivors Sam (Nicholas d’Agosto) and Molly (Emma Bell) apparently escaped death and ready to start a new life in Paris, but to be revealed that they are on the same flight since the first Final destination moviewhich explodes shortly after takeoff. It is an end that was the greatest torsion of the franchise and led many fans to name the fifth film the best Final destination movie. The impact of the end also proves that the franchise was fortunate to avoid wasting such a fun touch in the third film.

While the revelation of Kimberly and Burke at the end of Final destination 3 would have been a funny surprise, it could never have had the same impact as Final destination 5twist. Having the fifth film suddenly returning to the first film is a much more shock than a link between the second and third films.

There is also the additional thrill to realize that we had looked at a prequel all the time. In addition, when he could have taken a moment at the fans to remember Kimberly and Burke at the end of Final destination 3The sight of Alex (Devon Sawa) on the plane with Sam and Molly instantly indicates what will happen. THE Final destination The films have found a lot of success with the proven formula, but Final destination 5 proved that it is a franchise that can still excite the public with something completely unexpected.
