MARCH MADNESS 2023 - Day 19
Added 2023-03-19 16:00:05 +0000 UTCAnd the Turtles take it! Guess it just wasn’t satan’s day.
Up now - two franchises known for their incredible set pieces.
It’s POLICE STORY vs. FINAL DESTINATION.
With POLICE STORY, we’d do 5 films:
- Police Story (1985)
- Police Story 2 (1988)
- Police Story 3: Supercop (1992)
- Crime Story (1993)
- First Strike (1996)
We will not be covering Supercop 2 (not enough Chan) nor the “reboots” New Police Story and Police Story 2013.
For FINAL DESTINATION, we’d also cover 5 films:
- Final Destination (2000)
- Final Destination 2 (2003)
- Final Destination 3 (2006)
- The Final Destination (2009)
- Final Destination 5 (2011)
So - who will be escaping death this round?
Comments
This is the only outcome that makes sense. Jackie Chan vs. Inanimate Objects Flying at Him is like if we were voting on Gene Kelly vs. A Dance Floor.

2023-03-20 16:43:28 +0000 UTCFinal Destination losing is the single most heartbreaking defeat of this month so far

2023-03-20 16:02:39 +0000 UTCSorry if I missed it, but is there a way to see the bracket’s progress? Like the bracket with the winners of each round?

2023-03-20 11:12:02 +0000 UTCI blinked at these words for a long time, trying to remember if Final Destination was Jeepers Creepers.

2023-03-20 08:05:12 +0000 UTCThe March Madness chatter makes me feel So Old.

2023-03-20 03:00:14 +0000 UTCI’m eager for the two friends to do a horror franchise, in part because it seems like David in particular is into the idea and I think the show is best when they’re excited, but two Final Destination podcast series within months of each other is just too much for me.
Mike Batz
2023-03-20 02:58:18 +0000 UTCHell yeah
Mike Batz
2023-03-20 02:56:10 +0000 UTCOh no Final Destination is losing
Chloe Jade Skye
2023-03-20 00:26:11 +0000 UTCFinal destination is so much better. I don’t think the blankies like horror though.
Michael Hollenbeck
2023-03-19 23:04:09 +0000 UTCFor me this is another please do both situation.
Rob Bliss
2023-03-19 22:52:04 +0000 UTCLET’S GO POLICE STORY
Alex
2023-03-19 20:51:24 +0000 UTCok but like supercop 2 absolutely? yeoh just won the oscar let’s celebrate!
August Hammel
2023-03-19 20:40:47 +0000 UTCA valiant effort.
Donald W Pratt
2023-03-19 20:35:43 +0000 UTCIf final destination doesn’t win, I fear death will eventually come for us in random and ironic ways
David McCallum
2023-03-19 20:02:54 +0000 UTC💯
Kevin Love Hewitt
2023-03-19 19:12:16 +0000 UTCI think it is to keep the focus on Jackie Chan but agreed, it is a weird fit tonally to the Police Story films
Aaron Rabiroff
2023-03-19 18:43:45 +0000 UTCMORE HORROR ON BLANK CHECK!! I will always vote horror over anything.
Spam Boi
2023-03-19 17:47:17 +0000 UTCAm hoping for the FDs so there can be a discussion of Ali Larter and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as scream / genre queens…

2023-03-19 17:15:56 +0000 UTCOr a puppy being selected for dinner…
Dean Eaton
2023-03-19 17:13:46 +0000 UTCSorry, but I’m going to have to just vote against any and all early-2000s representatives from now on. Too much getting through just because people saw it when they were 10. Again. 😢
Chris Fyvie
2023-03-19 17:00:21 +0000 UTCDestination Heads: Gourley and Rust are already doing Final Destination at the moment. The problem is the episodes do get a bit repetitive. Police Story would be wild!
HappyCroc
2023-03-19 16:58:12 +0000 UTCIt'd be cool for them to do a legitimate horror franchise. More so than Scream, which is like, "Get it? We know we're in a movie!" Just movies that let themselves be movies.
Holden Martinson
2023-03-19 16:48:40 +0000 UTCNot doing Super Cop 2 but doing Crime Story seems a weird choice, but I'll take it.
Isaac Kelley
2023-03-19 16:36:01 +0000 UTCbest I can do is jackie's face https://64.media.tumblr.com/f12dbea10e6db0bf5eb0221a82b0f86e/e1e986104b5624e5-62/s540x810/d205df8475b90b213d87ee2fb7dc2e3750957b05.gif

2023-03-19 16:20:03 +0000 UTCAll in on Final Destination! Death Hive rise up!!!!
Corey Craft
2023-03-19 16:14:20 +0000 UTCI’ll change my vote if you can demonstrate a scene of a child being smooshed by a sheet of glass in any Police Story.
Donald W Pratt
2023-03-19 16:08:39 +0000 UTCFinal Dest would be great episodes considering they were all in the age range these films were marketed towards

2023-03-19 16:07:54 +0000 UTCPOLICE STORY!!!
Iguanahouse
2023-03-19 16:07:22 +0000 UTCI hope Police Story rides the current wave of Michelle Yeoh love all the way to the victory. Anybody else watching her Criterion Channel collection?
Tobey
2023-03-19 16:06:31 +0000 UTCPolice Story!
Chad Hotelling
2023-03-19 16:06:16 +0000 UTCA tough choice, as these are the two best franchises in the world
TV's Kevin Lanigan
2023-03-19 16:05:35 +0000 UTCI love Police Story 1-3(haven’t seen the others). But I legit think the podcast is best when talking about 90s Hollywood movies and just in general insightful about where American movie making is. So I’m going to vote Final Destination, because man those movies are fun and many weird careers they could talk about.
Jordan Coleman
2023-03-19 16:05:20 +0000 UTCI don't know if can take that many near-death and death scenes, thats why I voted final destination.
Mannacollided
2023-03-19 16:05:01 +0000 UTCVoting Police Story because my horror vote is all in on Scream
Rory Dunn
2023-03-19 16:04:34 +0000 UTCI know Police Story is going to win. But Final Destination would be fun to hear the guys talk about its insanity. Oh well. Either way I'm sure the commentary will be great!
Bill
2023-03-19 16:04:10 +0000 UTCI watched super cop the other day and I feel like if final destination was real death would be chasing after Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh
Ricky Bardy
2023-03-19 16:04:06 +0000 UTCLike making me pick between children
Ben Weiner
2023-03-19 16:03:09 +0000 UTCI just want to hear the guys react to the mall stunt in Police Story as they watch it. Vote Police Story, the only good cop movie series!
