20 Things You Missed in Final Destination 6: Bloodlines (Easter Eggs, Callbacks & Creepy Connections)
So, you thought you caught everything in Final Destination: Bloodlines? Think again.
This sixth entry in the long-running horror series is stacked with deep-cut references, hidden details, and sneaky connections to the original moviesâsome of which fans have waited decades to uncover. From Iris's ominous notebook to Tony Toddâs emotional final monologue, here's everything you might've missed on your first (or even second) watch.
1. đ§± A Brick from the Past
One of Iris's visions shows someone getting whacked by a falling brickâa nod to Alex Browning, the OG protagonist from Final Destination 1, who was later killed by, yep, a brick in FD2.
2. đȘŠ Tony Todd's Character Finally Gets a Name
He's been âthat creepy funeral guyâ for five films, but Bloodlines gives him a name: John William Bworth, a kid saved by Iris in 1968. Heâs not death incarnateâheâs a survivor, just like everyone else.
3. đ©â𩳠Kimberly Lives!
John mentions a woman who broke deathâs design: thatâs Kimberly Corman from Final Destination 2. This confirms she survived and beat the odds.
4. đïž Iris's Cabin = Alex's Cabin
Both Iris and Alex used the same strategy: isolate, bunker down, and remove all risk. Paranoia is survival in this franchise.
5. đȘThe Missing Door Scene
Remember the rotating door at the hospital? Trailers showed Darlene getting stuck, but the scene was cut from the final versionâlikely because Steph saves her in time.
6. đ„ Death's Evolving Strategy
Death doesnât just improvise anymore. When the crew plans to hide in Irisâs death-proof cabin, Death blows it up before they get in. Cold. Calculated.
7. đ€š Why Did Eric Die?
Technically, heâs not part of the bloodline. But John warned: mess with death, and it bites back. Eric tried to cheat the rulesâand paid the price.
8. đ Eric's⊠Specific Death
His death via MRI machine starts with his crotch. It's not randomâhe previously mocked death in a garbage truck scene in a suggestive way. The Reaper has jokes, apparently.
9. đ© Iris's Death Matches Her Vision
Sheâs impaled by a steel rodâexactly the way she originally died in her 1968 premonition. Death always finishes the job.
10. đŻïž Tony Todd's Last Words Were His Own
âLife is precious. Enjoy every second.â Those werenât scripted. Todd, battling cancer, wrote and delivered that line himself. A beautifulâand heartbreakingâfarewell.
11. âïž Flight 180 Is Back
In Irisâs notebook, you can see a burning planeâa nod to Flight 180, the disaster that started it all back in Final Destination 1.
12. đȘ” The Log Truck Returns
Yep, those logs are the logs from Final Destination 2. Iris somehow had a vision of that highway carnage long before it happened.
13. đ Carter's Car Plate
Stephâs license plateâRFK575âmatches Carterâs from FD1. Thatâs a deep cut for the real fans.
14. đïž "Empty Your Pockets" Protocol
Iris demands Steph empty her pockets. Why? Even a pen can be a death trap. This mirrors Clearâs method from FD2 when she lived in a mental hospital to avoid accidents.
15. đ„ The Barbecue Setup
One of Irisâs sketches shows a flaming grill. Itâs a direct nod to the BBQ explosion at the end of Final Destination 2âone of the franchise's most âoh-no-he-didnâtâ moments.
16. đČ The Woodchipper That Never Was
Another sketch shows someone falling into a woodchipperâan unfilmed scene from Final Destination 3 where Kimberly and Thomas supposedly died. It was deleted, but Iris saw it.
17. đ Terry's Bus Callback
Eric nearly gets hit by a van in a scene nearly identical to Terryâs iconic bus death in FD1. A subtle reminder: no one is safe at a crosswalk in this universe.
18. đȘ The Curse of the Coin
From bratty child to old lady, that penny travels. It starts the disaster at the Sky View restaurant and ends by derailing a train. One coin. Two catastrophes. Zero survivors.
19. đž Coins Cause Chaos (Always)
Not the first time. In FD4, a coin sent a guy diving into a pool drainâwhere he got sucked to pieces. Never trust a shiny quarter in this franchise.
20. đ Death Always Drops Hints
Earlier in Bloodlines, Steph and Charlie nearly crash into a logging truck. Thatâs foreshadowing their actual fate. If you see logs on the road⊠just turn around.
đ This Franchise Still Has Life in It
Final Destination: Bloodlines doesnât just honor the seriesâit deepens it. With brilliant callbacks, heartbreaking performances, and that cursed coin tying everything together, itâs a love letter to fans and a blueprint for where the series can go next.
Keep your eyes open on rewatchâyouâll spot even more if youâre paying attention. And remember⊠death doesnât skip steps.
