Oh my god I saw that a long time ago, I just checked the trailer and it is what I remember.
Even as a teenager I remember thinking that the final race was absolutely unhinged. Like what about the enormous pile of dead or maimed teenagers that the camera cut away from just in time to maintain its G rating?
In the trailer there’s a bunch of kids that slide under a moving semi trailer but lose too much momentum to make it out the other side, or it looks like they do. We never see what happens to them. Main character even looks back at them for a second, just long enough to see that they’re still on the ground and not moving but fuck them because our hero made it and he’s on his way! Huzzah!
I mean the movie is memorable, it’s fun and all, but that scene just lost me so hard. Like actually maybe fuck everyone who thinks this race is a good idea and worth winning. They can have their race, and I will win the broader game of natural selection.
Thanks! I can confirm that decaf coffee doesn’t cause me any of the problems I was having before I quit it, which was general jitteriness, excessive hunger and difficulty sleeping.
