No movie has a bigger cultural impact than Final Destination 2

The trailer alone made the whole world afraid of driving behind a log truck.

Jaws permanently changed our dynamic with an entire species and the ocean in general, and with just two notes.
- Duuun dun.
  
  Duuun dun.
- Note1: Dear Sir/Madam, I am a prince from Nigeria...
- It made kids afraid to swim in swimming pools!
  Jaws and those notes hit something primal
- Well, two notes, a dead dog, and a dozen bodies/parts
Similarly, Final Destination 3 made everyone (or at least me) absolutely TERRIFIED of tanning booths
- Fun fact: a tanning bed is a true "final destination" machine that will get'cha in the long run #FuckCancer
- I reckon by FD4, companies were paying the directors not to feature their products haha
I guess you also just watched the Honest Trailers video.

- You got me!
- lmao, "everyone's haunted by the ghost of Rube Goldberg"
That's a highly exaggerated opinion. Sure, on the one generation it came out during, it made many people afraid if that, but there were many others that did similar things. I know it's a different generation, but as someone else mentioned; JAWS had a much bigger impact, even beyond the generation it was released during.
Never watched final destination, but I always give some distance for those lorry because i see what an exploding tire can do to you. Those thing is usually filled up to 100psi/120psi, not gonna be good if those hit you or your car. Not to mention the chance of a runaway tire is never 0, or they switching into your lane without noticing you're there.
It's also the scariest thing to drive pass you if you're cycling.
- Mythbusters covered tires from trucks - tire treads at highway speeds can go right through a windshield (and have killed people this way).
  I spend as little time behind/beside thm as possible.
You weren't afraid of them before?
Logging truck encounters drastically reduced when I moved from BC to Ontario 🙏
- Heavy wheelers in busy traffic should be treated like a major threat. Especially for bikers.
The trailer alone made the whole world afraid of driving behind a log truck.
Never seen the films or their trailers, but I keep a healthy distance to vehicles like that anyway.
Wait. That was the second one?
- There are five of them! A sixth movie is coming out this June.
- Yeah. The first one was about surviving a flight accident. The second one about surviving this mass crash.
The beginning of one scared me the moat
Ahh the movie I wanted to watch but couldn't because it's only on Max
The physics on this just always really bugged me.
Nah Nah Nah
Scrolled pass this a week ago, and just had a flashback after seeing news that two people were crushed under logs in a car crash in Poland. They survived, but yeah, there's that.
