10 Movies That Changed Everything In Ways You Didn't Expect
3. The Whole World Became Terrified Of Log Trucks - Final Destination 2
We all know that Jaws made the world unjustly terrified of sharks, but if you've ever seen Final Destination 2, you likely have a lifelong fear of log trucks, right?
The sequel's brutal opening premonition sequence shows a log truck's logs breaking loose and hurtling over the busy highway, causing a massive vehicular pile-up with countless fatalities.
Though it's basically physically impossible for logs to bounce as high at they do in this scene, almost 20 years later there are still articles being regularly written about the lasting effect the scene has had on viewers.
If you've seen the movie, try encountering a log truck on a motorway without immediately thinking about this scene - it's basically impossible. Final Destination 2 may not exactly be Citizen Kane, but it certainly resonated with audiences in a deeply primal, long-lasting way.
