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 movies—some of which fans have waited decades to uncover. From Iris's ominous notebook to Tony Todd’s emotional final monologue, here's everything you might've missed on your first (or even second) watch.

1. đŸ§± A Brick from the Past

One of Iris's visions shows someone getting whacked by a falling brick—a nod to Alex Browning, the OG protagonist from Final Destination 1, who was later killed by, yep, a brick in FD2.

2. đŸȘŠ Tony Todd's Character Finally Gets a Name

He's been “that creepy funeral guy” for five films, but Bloodlines gives him a name: John William Bworth, a kid saved by Iris in 1968. He’s not death incarnate—he’s a survivor, just like everyone else.

3. đŸ‘©â€đŸŠł Kimberly Lives!

John mentions a woman who broke death’s design: that’s Kimberly Corman from Final Destination 2. This confirms she survived and beat the odds.

4. đŸšïž 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. đŸšȘThe Missing Door Scene

Remember the rotating door at the hospital? Trailers showed Darlene getting stuck, but the scene was cut from the final version—likely because Steph saves her in time.

6. đŸ’„ Death's Evolving Strategy

Death doesn’t just improvise anymore. When the crew plans to hide in Iris’s death-proof cabin, Death blows it up before they get in. Cold. Calculated.

7. đŸ€š Why Did Eric Die?

Technically, he’s not part of the bloodline. But John warned: mess with death, and it bites back. Eric tried to cheat the rules—and paid the price.

8. 🍆 Eric's
 Specific Death

His death via MRI machine starts with his crotch. It's not random—he previously mocked death in a garbage truck scene in a suggestive way. The Reaper has jokes, apparently.

9. đŸ”© Iris's Death Matches Her Vision

She’s impaled by a steel rod—exactly the way she originally died in her 1968 premonition. Death always finishes the job.

10. đŸ•Żïž Tony Todd's Last Words Were His Own

“Life is precious. Enjoy every second.” Those weren’t scripted. Todd, battling cancer, wrote and delivered that line himself. A beautiful—and heartbreaking—farewell.

11. ✈ Flight 180 Is Back

In Iris’s notebook, you can see a burning plane—a nod to Flight 180, the disaster that started it all back in Final Destination 1.

12. đŸȘ” 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. 🚗 Carter's Car Plate

Steph’s license plate—RFK575—matches Carter’s from FD1. That’s a deep cut for the real fans.

14. đŸ–Šïž "Empty Your Pockets" Protocol

Iris demands Steph empty her pockets. Why? Even a pen can be a death trap. This mirrors Clear’s method from FD2 when she lived in a mental hospital to avoid accidents.

15. đŸ”„ The Barbecue Setup

One of Iris’s sketches shows a flaming grill. It’s a direct nod to the BBQ explosion at the end of Final Destination 2—one of the franchise's most “oh-no-he-didn’t” moments.

16. đŸŒČ The Woodchipper That Never Was

Another sketch shows someone falling into a woodchipper—an unfilmed scene from Final Destination 3 where Kimberly and Thomas supposedly died. It was deleted, but Iris saw it.

17. 🚌 Terry's Bus Callback

Eric nearly gets hit by a van in a scene nearly identical to Terry’s iconic bus death in FD1. A subtle reminder: no one is safe at a crosswalk in this universe.

18. đŸȘ™ 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. 💾 Coins Cause Chaos (Always)

Not the first time. In FD4, a coin sent a guy diving into a pool drain—where he got sucked to pieces. Never trust a shiny quarter in this franchise.

20. 🚚 Death Always Drops Hints

Earlier in Bloodlines, Steph and Charlie nearly crash into a logging truck. That’s foreshadowing their actual fate. If you see logs on the road
 just turn around.

💀 This Franchise Still Has Life in It

Final Destination: Bloodlines doesn’t just honor the series—it deepens it. With brilliant callbacks, heartbreaking performances, and that cursed coin tying everything together, it’s a love letter to fans and a blueprint for where the series can go next.

Keep your eyes open on rewatch—you’ll spot even more if you’re paying attention. And remember
 death doesn’t skip steps.
