An approvement over the original, Final Destination 2 brings back the same concept with a group of people avoiding death due to the premonition of one character. However, they are continued to be stalked by Death (who never takes physical form but attacks by putting complex sequences of events in motion) throughout the film one by one. As with the original, characters attempt to read the signs as to who is next on the hitlist and avoid their spot in line.

The highest-grossing film of Jean-Claude Van Damme‘s career, Timecop stars the kickboxing action star as an officer of the Time Enforcement Commission who attempt to prevent those from misusing time travel now that it has been discovered. Aside from a few flashes here and there in the past (the machine only allows you to travel backwards and then return to your own time), the film primarily takes place in two time periods. We get the early 90s where Max and his wife (Mia Sara) are attacked prior to him ever joining the TEC, and we get the near-future or present (ten years later) where Max is a more grizzled veteran of the agency.

Splitting audience and critics, the controversial erotic thriller cashed in big at the box office (providing a boom for the genre that was never quite duplicated, despite many imitators) while stirring up controversy for from both the left, for its depiction of a bisexual woman as a nymphomaniac serial killer, and right with the kind of explicit sexuality usually reserved for softcore porn shown late at night on Cinemax. The film made Sharon Stone a star moving her on to bigger and better projects including being the rare woman to headline a western in The Quick and the Dead and a supporting role in Casino both just three years later.

Flashback Friday takes us back 25 years to Final Destination. Filled with young stars of the moment, some of whose careers have turned out better than others, but not great dialogue nor acting, the 2000 horror film is nevertheless notable for its premise. At a time where slashers and monsters still owned the horror market, Final Destination offered something new with victims who escaped death, but still being marked for it, are attacked through elaborate sequences of inanimate objects moving themselves into a position to lead to to a grizzly end.
