Final Destination 2, 2003, Ali Larter, A.J. Cook, Michael Landes
Final Destination 2 is a 2003 horror film, and sequel to the 2000 film Final Destination. It was directed by David R. Ellis and stars A. J. Cook as Kimberly Corman and Ali Larter as Clear Rivers. The film is set in 2001 after the previous movie and has only two returning characters; Clear Rivers and the mortician William Bludworth. The movie grossed $16,017,141 on its opening weekend in the US, a significant portion of the $46,455,802 it grossed overall. It was a minor hit, debuting in its first week at #2 and falling from then onwards.
Disputed - It is revealed in Final Destination 3 that Kimberly Corman and Thomas Burke were killed between Final Destination 2 and Final Destination 3. However, this revelation was made in an alternate scene, accessible only through the "Choose Their Fates" feature of the DVD. Since the rest of the alternate scenes feature actions that obviously cannot be canon in the Final Destination universe, it is up for debate whether or not Kimberly and Officer Burke ended up alive and well, or bits of meat in a hardware store parking lot.
In the U.S., the film was rated R for strong violence/gruesome accidents, language, drug content, and some nudity. This movie never received an NC-17 rating by the MPAA.
Plot.
It has been one year since the tragic explosion of Flight 180. While going on vacation, Kimberly Corman, (played by A.J. Cook) traveling with her friend Shaina (Sarah Carter) and two other male friends, has a premonition of a horrific freeway pile-up while still on the on-ramp. She causes outrage when she blocks traffic, but the signs prove true. The survivors, Eugene (T.C. Carson), Rory (Jonathon Cherry), Katherine (Keegan Connor Tracy), Nora (Lynda Boyd) and her son Tim (James Kirk) are all held up at the police station and Kim begins to tell everyone about her strange premonition. They all leave, but one of the survivors dies mysteriously, and Kim begins to suspect that her premonition is really something more. In a mental institution, she meets Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the sole survivor of Flight 180, who has had similar experience with premonition. She reluctantly accepts Kim's offer to help her spot the signs to keep her and the others alive, but the deaths have already begun. A police officer who initially brought everybody in for questioning, Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), also offers his assistance in keeping everyone alive, but it becomes a race against time as everyone has scattered after dismissing the tales. The enigmatic mortician William Bludworth (Tony Todd) makes another appearance and provides more insight into the workings of Death involving the forces of balance. Wikipedia
