Anyone else agree? I don't see how the hell he could've survived that. Plus it was a rip off of Shawshank Redemption (the ending that is).
"If it walks and talks like a thug, it's probably a black hoodlum on his way to jail."
the waater was dark and the car was tinted. He could have shoved lucky body out and sswam the other direction. Upon a body beign found the police probly would have focused on the body allwoing for tyrese to swim away and escape.
sharethe ending really pissed me off too
shareI was thinking maybe he swam out the car and didnt leave the water until the cops left or until they found Lucky's body b/c technically, they didn't know Lucky's dead body was in the car and if they did, they usually mistake black males thinkin they all look alike

Really - they would have seen him swimming away. smh
shareNot impossible, but certainly not easy to pull off. You would have to be pretty good at swimming to make it far enough underwater to get out of sight of the chopper when you surfaced.
Cops would definitely notice that the body had died from a bullet when they pulled it out, but at that point O2 was supposedly long gone.
The water was only WAIST DEEP, thus enabling the star to escape easily...and as someone previously mentioned, the cops found a body and thought it was the guy the were looking for.
shareplease dont put spoilers in the subject line
Best regards

Beware of spelling, I am not native english
If the water was only WAIST DEEP, how in the hell did he completely submerge a car in it?
Waist Deep was more of a play on the situation he was in.

Keep in mind; whenever watching a film, reading a piece of fiction, or playing a game. When there is no body, there is a large chance that the character is still alive. For example, we know Aeris from FF7, or however it is spelled, was killed because her body was physically visible. However in Lord of the Rings, Gandalf, was assumed dead because of a lethal fall, but there was no physical presence of a body. Later in the story, we find that Gandalf never really died. You can really apply this to almost any narrative arc.
shareMaybe it was like in Alias, where Sidney Bristow drove her car into the lake, and then sucked air out of the tires to stay alive till the cops were gone!
Ok, maybe not, but I thought it was cheesy enough to mention anyway.
I don't understand how people think he died. That's what wouldn't have made sense. It was a very easy ending to understand. He swam underwater for a while to evade police, the police found Lucky and thought he was the driver. Fairly simple. And to people who think he swam to Mexico from there...you are just stupid. Junior knew some spanish, and it wasnt like they had just moved into their place, it was probably weeks or months until O was able to finally get there. That would have just taken too much time and then people would say the movie sucks because no one has an attention span anymore if a movie is 2 hours or more. Anyone that thought the ending was impossible just doesn't use their brain.
shareWell said Nwbcat51.
share"Alias, where Sidney Bristow drove her car into the lake, and then sucked air out of the tires to stay alive till the cops were gone!"
That is stealthy! I should try that. Maybe i'll e-mail the idea to mythbusters and see if that would really work.

They did this on braniac I think because the exact same thing happened in a James bond film with him taking air from the tires. It didn't work however as not enough air came out under water and so without a special valve which they used later not enough air came out and every diver that went down got little or no air.
shareyeah, it definitely wasnt impossible, and if anything, it was extremely predictable.
shareIts not that anyone didnt use their brain....it was just a stupid ending...
shareLethal Weapon? Die Hard? The Transporter? Commando? lol I could go on. Compared to some of the *beep* these dudes managed to get through this one doesn't seem all that far-fetched.
Now take the weapons where I told you and wait for the god d*mn signal this time! Good byyye!!!
That he swam ALL THE WAY to Mexico. I think it's possible (unlikely, but certainly possible) that he could've at least swam to shore and gotten away on foot. Yes, there are holes in the storyline. There are holes in the storyline of every action flick. I'm not saying it's Die Hard or anything, but it's definitely a decent movie.
shareHe died.
Them all wearing white at the end is a metaphor for it all being a dream/fanatsy. Like in 25th Hour, when Edward Norton and his future family are all wearing white, it's because it didn't happen.
And come on, Tyrese swimming to Mexico? Kind of unrealistic even for this movie.
I think the fantasy ending was a great way to pelase all viewers.

that doesn't matter cuz the cops never knew who was in the car. they only started chasing him because he was speeding and swerving on the highway.
shareI agree that Tyrese getting away was a little unbelievable, especially with the helicopter shining the light right where the car was. For him to escape from the car and then duck the police would have been next to impossible. Perhaps he found a small piece of bamboo and used it to breathe while staying underwater.
shareNot only that but he survived without so much as a scratch... plus how would they have crossed the border with every cop looking for them? Not to mention Coco was in a stolen car... It was an ok movie until they blew the ending. There was a million ways to end it better than this.
