Exploring Sean Bean's Hypothetical Roles in Halloween-themed Movies
00:00:42
Speaker
You first.
00:00:45
Speaker
Welcome to a special episode of On Second Watch, where it is officially Sean Bean Halloween. This is the Halloween Sean Bean extravaganza, where we're exploring movies that Sean Bean was not cast in, specifically horror or Halloween featured movies, and answer the ultimate question, how would Sean Bean have died in the 2000 American supernatural horror film Final Destination? We get to decide his role, whether it's a lead or a supporting character, some new character or a random cameo,
00:01:15
Speaker
and decide how
Guest Introduction: Rob Turner from Rainard City
00:01:16
Speaker
he would die. And today we are joined by returning guest and my friend, Rob Turner from Rainard City. How you doing, Rob? Doing great. Now, Rob, you joined us for a previous Sean Bean episode, and that was how would Sean Bean have died in Zack Snyder's Justice League, which was a fun one. So if anyone's interested in that, go check it out. It was a lot of fun with Rob, and I'm very happy to have you back.
00:01:39
Speaker
Yeah, it's great to be back. That was so much fun. So now you're a veteran at this. You have more experience than most people do at killing Sean
Why 'Final Destination'? The Unavoidable Villain Concept
00:01:48
Speaker
Bean. So this will be fun with Final Destination. So why Final Destination when we talked about Halloween movies? What about this film stood out to you? When you've got a film that's centered around people that are supposed to be killed off, being killed off, then involving Sean Bean in it sort of
00:02:06
Speaker
becomes a bit of a sick joke. But equally, I do love that film. And I think what was very clever about it was the fact that, like, death was the villain. So in effect, there's nowhere you can run to. There's nowhere you can kind of trick the system. And the threat is always there, which is brilliant, especially since this was the first. So it's very original. I mean, a lot of
00:02:34
Speaker
A lot of these movies are very derivative of other films, but this was a fun one because it had to be, I can just imagine, just the creative process of saying, okay, we have to let just death kill these people in just strange, crazy ways. And obviously they upped the ante with everyone they came out with. But today we're gonna talk about the very first one. And I think you kind of set the stage of what
Recap of 'Final Destination' Death Scenes
00:03:01
Speaker
it could be. And obviously I think the,
00:03:04
Speaker
I don't even know what the latest Final Destination. I think it was five is the newest one. I might be wrong. Well, there was one called the Final Destination. I forget if there was one after that, but I think you might be right. I can't remember. I did enjoy the third one. I thought the third one kind of felt like a R-rated itchy and scratchy. It was just fun.
00:03:28
Speaker
Yeah, it was. Yeah. There's, there's so many, so many great, just crazy creations of, of ways to, to knock somebody off. They basically are doing what we're doing to Sean Bean and just these bizarre ways that somebody could, could die, but, um, they get paid for it. We don't. This is a labor of sick love.
Casting Sean Bean in 'Final Destination': A Humorous Take
00:03:49
Speaker
Yeah. Absolutely. Very sick, but a lot of love.
00:03:54
Speaker
So let's share our sickness and our love for Sean Bean and let's cast and kill him in this movie. So Rob, why don't you take us away first? Obviously with the last time I was here, we talked about the Snyder Cut of Justice League. I present to you, Sean Bean is in what I call the Barry Cut. So in the Barry Cut of Final Destination, we have this additional side story of Barry.
00:04:21
Speaker
with the initial flight. So this is, you know, the inciting incident where over 200 people get killed in the plane crash. And then you get the ones that were supposed to die and that sort of cheated death. Well, Barry was trying to flag his way into first class and
00:04:40
Speaker
he's a bit of a chancer and he's like, well, you know, don't you know who I am? You know, my family ran a textile mill and like being very noisy and obnoxious to the point where he gets kicked off the flight. So therefore that would be for me, like the first part of him in effect, cheating death. And the way I see it is that
00:05:07
Speaker
There are parallels like to each death. So like in one scene, there's a guy being choked on a clothesline. So Barry, around about the same time, dodges an open manhole. When Terry gets hit by a bus, Barry is at the station like moaning about the delay. And see when Valerie is
Comedic Scenarios: Sean Bean's Death in 'Final Destination'
00:05:33
Speaker
impaled, he's eating a great fruit. And that will come and stay later. Yeah, so I'm sorry, I'll let you cut in now. But like, I will carry on with Barry after this.
00:05:45
Speaker
Sure. Oh, the suspense. That's awesome. I love I love the whole story where he's integrated here. So what I what I tried to do was for every single one of the deaths that happened in this film that Sean Bean could die and maybe even let him die in each one of these and show it but it's just like he just keeps coming back to life like Kenny from South Park and he just every single time someone else dies. He's there in some way in as a byproduct of whatever had to happen because
00:06:13
Speaker
know, if these people just died in the airplane when they were supposed to, there wouldn't be these like, boss crashes and all sorts of other crazy events that impact people's lives. They just it would not would have never happened had death not had to intervene and kill these people a different way. So in every one of these bizarre situations that were a result of these kids getting off the plane, Sean Bean gets it.
00:06:36
Speaker
So in a similar fashion, since you ran through half your berry tale of Mr. Textile Mill Guy, I will go through half of mine and we'll meet at the end.
00:06:47
Speaker
So let's talk about Todd's death at the very beginning by hanging from the clothesline from the bathtub. When Alex is starting to get this feeling that something's going to happen, this owl crashes into his window because it's blind, very Harry Potter-esque, where he just crashes into a window for some reason. And when he throws that pornography book or whatever at the owl to scare it away and gets chopped up by the fan,
00:07:12
Speaker
That owl gets spooked and starts flying away and still, it must be blind. It crashes right into a car window of someone driving by, just so happy to be driven by Sean Bean, which causes him to panic and swerve into oncoming traffic and fall victim to that. So there's one. Now, Terry's death. Terry is the girl that just happened to wander into oncoming traffic and a bus comes out of nowhere and takes her out.
00:07:38
Speaker
Well, in this situation, Sean Bean's the bus driver. He's just minding his business, doing his job the right way, obeying all the traffic signs, green lights. Everything's going smoothly, except for this teenage girl that just walks into the middle of the road. He doesn't have enough time to react and just obliterates her, causing him to panic and just be overcome by the stress of the situation and scared. And he ends up getting a heart attack and falling and dies at the scene as well.
Sean Bean in Multiple 'Final Destination' Movies
00:08:08
Speaker
And then you got Miss Luton, the teacher that was saved and taken off the flight, where she ends up getting killed in her own house by just the craziest of circumstances with fire, exploding monitors, knives, all sorts of crazy stuff had to happen here.
00:08:23
Speaker
At the very end, you know, Miss Luton's house is on fire and there's gas going, so you know what's going to happen. Well, Sean Bean just happens to be her neighbor and he's just out back, you know, taking out the trash at night. When he looks over and suddenly sees the house, his neighbor's house, it looks like there's a fire on the inside. And you see the, you know, the embers and signs and smoke coming through the window. So he runs over knowing that she's alone just to see if she's okay. And he peers through the window. And just at that moment, the house explodes in a ball of fire, killing him instantly.
00:08:53
Speaker
So boom, that's, that's three rapid fire of, uh, of his desk from this film. So I will take a break and I will let you continue the saga of Barry. Okay. So in the next one, so we've got this character, William Hitchcock, who gets killed by, I think it's a helicopter blade.
00:09:11
Speaker
but it's some form of blade anyway. So what I thought would be quite amusing is if you cut back and like Barry's in like one of those like old school barbers and he's getting like a really like one of those like close shaves and he gets nicked and he's like, oh, you're bloody knick, knick matching. Oh, you know, you're going to hear from our lawyers, you bloody fool. And again, just being very obnoxious and
00:09:38
Speaker
like oh you're not getting a tip from me lad, here's a tip be better at your ruddy job and then like sort of walks off in half. And then tell you next one we've got someone who was killed by a billboard so I thought it would be quite funny if you cut back to Barry and in a meta moment he's in the cinema what
00:09:59
Speaker
watching well he should be watching a film but they're currently playing the adverts and he's like oh god all these adverts are going on and on oh no i just i'll be halfway through my popcorn before the film starts and then like there's someone in the background choking on popcorn and he's like oh will you keep your chuffing noise down
00:10:20
Speaker
You're interrupting the movie. Exactly, exactly. Again, in a very sort of scary movie-esque meta moment. Yeah, I will sort of say I've got one final moment for Barry at the end, but I'll save that for the end.
00:10:36
Speaker
All right, so I'll run down the rest of mine here and we'll hear the conclusion of Barry's story. I hate this guy already. So Billy, he's the guy that gets his head cut off by that blade on the train tracks or whatever. So when Billy dies and this train comes barreling down the road and hits, it's this car that's parked there.
00:10:59
Speaker
And my story, Sean beans, the conductor of that train trying to, you know, he's blowing the horn, the whistles like guys, get out of the street, get out of the road, get out of the road. And when he hits this card explodes and you know, obviously shrapnel is going everywhere. It's part of the shrapnel that, you know,
00:11:13
Speaker
took off Billy's head. Well, some of that shrapnel went through the window of the train, taken out Sean Bean as a conductor. So that train is just going to be barreling down those tracks until who knows when, but Sean Bean's dead in the, in the, as a conductor. So that's, uh,
00:11:31
Speaker
That's his demise there. Oh, and then, so when we have death coming for Claire, and Alex grabs that power line and the car explodes, in my story, Sean Bean is one of those FBI agents that's running towards the car, telling him to stop, stop, stop. So obviously, once it explodes, more shrapnel ends up taking off Agent Sean's head.
00:11:53
Speaker
And that's that. And then I think the very final thing at the very end is that scene in Paris where there's this marquee sign and all sorts of craziness going on. There's this moment where there's something rolling down some platform, knocks over a can of nails, and they come flying down a few stories to the ground. So, of course, Sean Bean just has to be
00:12:14
Speaker
enjoying a vacation in Paris. Maybe it's just sipping on some tea or who knows. And it's underneath this scaffolding and this bucket of nails just comes down and just lights him up with like a hundred nails. And that's the end of Sean Bean. So I had found a way for every single death in that movie to try to interject Sean Bean in there some way. And that's, that's what I got for me. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Let's, let's get rid of this, this Barry fellow.
00:12:40
Speaker
Exactly. So basically, Barry has been obnoxious throughout this film, and in effect, annoying everyone wherever he goes. The next morning, he's there with the laugh.
00:12:55
Speaker
he's reading the newspaper about all these bizarre events and he's like oh those people they need to look after themselves that's why I like eating grapefruit and he uses a fruit knife to pierce the grapefruit which causes a spraying dart of citrus into his eyes and he's like oh it stings and he's like
00:13:24
Speaker
shuffling around like not know how to go trips over the table lands face first into the garbage disposal and then again he's sort of he's confused he tries to like click this thing which he thinks is the sink and it turns out to be the gas and he accidentally sets himself on the fire and his wife who's understandably panicking grabs a saucepan and in true Reeves and Mortimer fashion smacks him with a pan in order to try and put the fire out
00:13:54
Speaker
And it's this bludgeoning that kills him. Oh, God. I don't feel sorry for him, but that's a way to go.
00:14:02
Speaker
No, it's my feeling is for the audience because he's been such a goon throughout the whole thing. It will be like the ultimate catharsis tied with the meta joke that it's Sean Bean and everyone's expecting him to die. It doesn't happen until like right the very end. Oh, yes. Yes. So you got citrus plus garbage disposal plus gas plus pan. Oof.
00:14:29
Speaker
Oh, it has to absolutely has to It almost be brilliant if they obviously hindsight just have Sean Bean in every single one of these Final Destination movies where he you just think he's gonna die But he doesn't and then finally whenever they decide to close the series out you take him out then just so it's like that six or seven movie saga of Sean Bean escaping death for
00:14:54
Speaker
as long as he possibly can, so he finally just can't do it anymore. Yeah, and then, like I say, it just ends with a really stupid death, like an onion fall on his head or something. Yeah, it's got to be something stupid, like a sliver that gets infected, I don't know. Olrap, thanks so much, really appreciate you joining in, talking about Final Destination with me and killing Sean Bean several times, at least on my take, but he survives yours until the bloody end.
