This Friday sees the release of long-awaited, much hyped, highly cerebral literary adaptation The Final Destination, rumoured to be the last installment in the much vaunted series, hence the dramatic and powerful title.
Hands up if you believe this will be the last Final Destination film? Okay, you can put your hands down. We don't buy it for a second.
A good thing too. We've always been fans of the premise, especially the first installment - the sequels have never quite matched up to its Devon Sawa-starring brilliance.
In order to attempt to remedy franchise-lag, the latest episode is presented in fully functional 3D, which means it gets an 'A' for Awesome.
in honor of this landmark release, here are the 7 Most Unexpected Death Scenes, starting with this gem from the original Final Destination...
Oh, and there are spoilers coming up. Obviously.
Actress Catches The Bus… With Her Face
The Film: Final Destination (2000)
The Scene: So a bunch of kids who have cheated Death are arguing about something or other.
Annoyed, Terry (Amanda Detmer) decides to flaunt the rules of the Green Cross Code and steps backward towards the street.
As she turns around… BAM!... Bus to the face.
That’s what you get for deciding you’re too busy to Stop, Look and Listen.
‘Oh-Crap!’-O-Metre: OHHHHH CRAP!!!
Victim’s Last Thoughts: “Man I’m so annoyed right now. I darn right cheesed off. This is just like that time I let the softball coach take pictures of me topless; Embarassing, degrading, yet still a bit of a turn on.
"Mmm, Devon Sawa sure is hot. He’s definitely the next big thing. 10 years from now, forget it, he’ll be…”

The deaths in The Departed and Burn After Reading really came as a surprise to me when I first watched them. I mean it was like BAM! And you are still sitting there going 'What the hell just happened?!?' I'll tell you another one that jumped out at me was when William Peterson got an extra hole in his head in To Live and Die In L.A. Total surprise!

Great feature, another bus-to-the-face shock moment is in The Orphanage. Thought it deserved a mention because the victim in question is old.
