Was there a car crash in this movie?


You would think that if there was something that important to the movie, that they'd show it at some point that there was a car accident.

there was a car crash...theres a scene where Lena is staring into her rear view mirror, then BAM head-on with another car

did you see it on SyFy? they may have cut the scene out...

reply

That's weird. I know if I were personally making a movie and it had an important car crash, I'd probably show it at least 20 times throughout the movie.

reply

I just saw it on Syfy and it showed the car crash and flashbacked to it several times during the movie! Pretty hard to miss it!!

reply

LOL. I can't seem to remember if there is a crash or not.....

Yeah, you know, and with all the talk about mirrors and stuff, they probably should have had a shot or two of someone looking in the mirror, deep in thought, you know? Would it have killed them!!?

reply

Are you kidding? The car accident was a central event in the movie... the main character kept having flash backs to it as well...?!

reply

No, there was never a car crash and they never showed anything in anyway about any car crash. Why did you think there was car crash?????

reply

I don't even remember there being a movie.

What are we talking about?

Who am I?

I don't know, I don't get it. If there was a car crash that was integral to the story, I know I would spend at least half of the movie showing the car crash. I'd show clips of it in slow motion, going backwards, with sad music playing, with spooky music playing, with no music playing, you know, that sort of thing. I don't get why the director decided not to show a car crash.

Did you watch the same movie as the rest of us? Not trying to be rude, but they did, as noted by others, play the car crash scene at least 5 times I can recall and from different angles. I don't think it's central to the theme other than the Gina driving it has just killed the original Gina and seems to have suffered some memory loss due to the accident. Why she becomes temporarilly like the original Gina is an unanswered question but obviously has something to do with the accident. This tells me that to do the switchout of the people, somehow they have to have all the memories of the original. Somehow those get juggled up severely in the evil Gina, so much so that she's having trouble remembering what she really is and what is her plan.

LOL, it's surprising so many people are sarcasm impaired!

I know, I'm really surprised a lot of people don't understand this is a joke thread. Heck, the minute I read the title of the thread I knew the OP was making fun of the numerous amounts of flashback sequences of the car crash. That's the reason I clicked on this thread, I found those scenes pretty amusing and facepalm worthy too

There's a car wreck in this movie?

I don't remember that.

Neither do I :/
Must be an inside joke. It would have gone a long way to explain some things.

reply

He is mocking how many times and in how many different ways the car crash was shown. Of course he saw it, he even described many of the ways the crash was portrayed. He was mocking how often it was shown. It is a joke or he is a troll.

I feel like the film would have benefitted from long shots of empty coffee mugs from various angles over and over again. I've got a degree in the Filmography of Cups, Mugs and Thimbles and it would have really helped with the mood of the movie.
