Whats up guys welcome to FoundFlix
On this ending explained we'll be looking at a movie
I've gotten a ton of requests for the long-awaited Jeepers Creepers 3
Arriving 14 years after part 2 what's interesting about 3 is
Just how similar it feels to the first two movies even after such a long time between entries
This is both a good and bad thing with the movie perhaps not quite living up to the long wait
Jeepers Creepers 3 still has a lot to like about it despite some of my complaints and once again the creeper is still menacing and
awesome this time giving us more understanding to the mysterious character and
introduces interesting new developments to the creepers character and mythology
I'll only be focusing on what we learn about him in part 3
But I was considering doing a full breakdown on the creeper overall of the film's
Similar to what I did for penny wise a while back
So let me know if you'd be interested in seeing that video alright guys
let's check out jeepers creepers 3 breaking down the big creeper moments and
Explaining the ending that can't sit where the series is heading next the first thing
I really need to explain is this series nutty
timeline for some reason jeepers creepers 3 is set
literally right in between the events of 1 & 2 as the creeper returns to feed for 23 days every 23 years
3 is set during the same feeding cycle as part 1 and 2 so
chronologically this series actually goes 1 3
And then 2, which is why the creeper isn't captured here like at the end of 2
hopefully all that makes sense as
Unfortunately things are even a bit more confusing timeline wise with the first scene taking place in the 70s
Which would be during the creepers previous feeding cycle here a young man is chased by the creeper brandishing a machete
He comes across a car in the road
but is caught by the creeper taken high into the air a few moments later his machete falls from the sky followed by a
severed limb
This is actually the creepers hand
Apparently the guy got his hand before dropping his knife this scene ends up being quite important later and having a part
The Creeper allows us to learn in
Secrets after this we jump back into the series main timeline and the beginning of part three picks up
Moments after the end of part 1 at the end of part 1 the creeper arrives at the police station taking the young man
Darry flying away from the building his sister Trish witnesses this stepping outside
staring into the sky her brother now a
victim of the creeper and again this opening of part 3 takes place right after the end of one even seeing the broken
Window the creeper just literally broke out of when taking Derry now at the station
There's a slew of officers showing up to the madness and via lines
Spoken the sergeant is told about what happened to Trish?
But the cops have more important things to focus on right now getting rid of the creepers infamous truck parked right outside
After getting the trucks doors open the officers discover
it is full of a bunch of bodies one officer foolishly leans inside to get a closer look and learns the hard way about the
Creepers tricked out truck when a series of bars slam closed on him tearing his arm
booby-traps
The creepers truck has always been a mainstay of the character built with souped up
Defences and boasts of new features this time out like a long deadly spear attached to a rope that launches out of a pipe on
The back crashing into a car and causing serious damage here. We also meet a group of creeper hunters
Led by the cowboy hat wearing sheriff Dan each of these guys have had their own encounter with the creeper
So they formed a group to destroy the creeper once and for all
Which they have a chance at during its current feeding cycle?
They don't know too much about the creeper really, but as established in previous movies
He feeds on humans and their fear in particular able to smell it in the air
And he eats in order to rebuild himself dan explains to sergeant Tubbs that it's mo
Now is also trying to destroy information that might clue in others as to how to defeat it like it's truck and warning
There's no way it's going to make it to the impound and right on cue the tow truck transporting his ride is
Intercepted by the creeper slashing the chains and riding his truck off disappearing into the distance until out of nowhere the creature swoops down
Attacking the man officer Dana trains a gun on him, but the creeper subtly lets her know this isn't a good idea
Wagging his finger at her then snatching them man up and flying off into the night from here
We switch gears completely to a story featuring an older woman played by genre staple meg Foster
Living on a farm with her adopted granddaughter
Addison this side story brings us some of the weakest parts of the movie the romance between the two kids is awful and the guys
Name is literally
Buddy-buddy or how about spending several scenes focusing on Addison trying to get pay for her hungry horse
Rockets because the family farm isn't doing so well. Yep horse related drama
That's why people watch Jeepers Creepers movies the main focus of importance here is her grandma
she's still suffering from the loss of her son many years ago due to the creeper and her son is the same one in the
Seventy sequence at the beginning who found the creepers hand she starts seeing him appearing in visions
Always near a tree on their land, and he warns her that the creeper is coming back here saying it wants
What is buried in the spot and then it ran out of time to get it 23 years ago?
He is now a part of it
And that's how he knows what the creeper is up to and just like the truck any part of the creeper leaves evidence of its
history behind
So it will be returning soon to the farm to retrieve its hand
But rather than flee as her son suggests meg stands her ground
And begins to dig in the area looking for the part of the creeper her son buried there two decades ago
But before we get to any of that who likes dirt biking
Oh
Hell yeah six moves, bro
This kid Kirk and his pals are out having an extreme time and we learn about Kirk and his only
Previous scene that he is an awful person getting off on harming cute little animals as well as being guilty of looking like a low-rent
Josh Hartnett so clearly he and his pals are destined for an encounter with the creeper
And they come across this truck randomly parked in a field the boys believing the creeper is just a story
Investigate the truck more closely and when it looks like no one is around decide to break shit up cool idea
super cool
And one kid throws a rock at the truck only for it to bounce right back and bonk him in the head is that crazy?
Reinforced magical steel the truck is made out of able to deflect
Anything that hits it Kirk tries to get the doors open which then open on their own revealing several bound-up bodies inside
Realizing the bodies are real the kids hop on their bike speeding away that is until the truck launches its rope hook once again
Whizzing at high speed across the field
jamming
Right through Kirk's leg knocking them off his bike as they're about to attempt to pull the hook loose the Rope begins to tighten
Dragging Kirk back towards the truck they all come back to help him except one kid who's just like Seiya once
It's pulled all the way back
He's stuck there and begs the others not to leave as a body drops out of the sky
followed by the creeper landing on the trucks roof looking hungrily at the kids the others run for their lives as the creeper retrieves a
Spear taking his time to get his aim right
Then hurls it at the kids shish kebob eating them both and paled by the spear on a tree nice shot
Creepy very efficient and you can throw them right on the grill this way with Kirk in captivity
there's still that other kid for the creeper to take care of who is frantically fleeing through the forest and catches some sweet air but
This makes it super easy for the creeper to nab him right out of the air boy that just looked ridiculous
Oh man back at the farm make unearths the creepers hand and when laid out seeing that it is still functioning
She reaches out her hand towards the creepers
Which grabs hers in increasing intensity even lifting her up off the ground her eyes glaze over white and her body?
Convulses violently while still hovering in the air info transfer looks like touching the hand is giving her a painful crash-course
lesson in the history of the creeper
But of course weed see anything she does so the origins of the creature
Continue to remain a huge question later Dan and the rest of the creeper crew show up and he too touches the hand and learns
about the creeper
But honestly this doesn't really seem to help either of them much and really doesn't come into play into the story at all despite
Seeming you know pretty important while they're dealing with this adi and buddy make it to a house for hay delivery
Discovering that the creeper is in the area
They don't know what's going on exactly
But they're about to find out all about it for themselves
A bloodied man appears out their window then seeing the creeper flipping a tanker over
Attacking another man as he tries to run off
then he sets his sights on their truck landing at the window and
Sniffing up on their delicious fear deciding that Adi is more afraid
He flies over to her side putting his eye
And then what must be his nose two slits that inhale right on the window
Flaring and excitement he screams out
Shattering the window and knocking over the truck with his mighty wings and before buddy can recover
He looks up realizing that the creeper took a D. Oh, No well. What are you gonna do about it, buddy?
He really doesn't do much to save Adi instead just being in a state of shock
Rather than actually doing anything in the creepers truck Adi comes to along with a still alive Kirk?
Removing their coverings and searching the truck for a way out
But Kirk cautions her that the truck is a deathtrap
Not heating his own advice Kirk goes to try the door handle crawling right up in line with his thing behind him that looks
suspiciously like a trap
And it is
Sending a pole right through his head now Adi is all alone trapped in the booby trapped creatures truck with no way out
Forced only to wait for the creeper to return at the farm a call comes through about the flip vehicle and the creeper crews split
Up to try and catch him by surprise
Dan and Sarge are the first to happen upon the truck opening fire to attempt to take out its tires
But just like every part of the creepers truck
It is impenetrable and bullets ricochet right off the tires and back at them
And the creeper retaliates dropping a spiky ball from the truck that rolls right past them
But then changes directions homing back in on them Sarge gets a shot on it creating a huge explosion
Wait the creeper has homing bombs how the hell did he make that I honestly doubt they will ever explain his engineering wizardry
But it's still kind of cool to see more weapons in his arsenal speaking of serious firepower
other members of the hunting group roll up on the other side of the road boasting a
giant chain gun cannon mounted on their car
That would be able to do some damage in theory
But the creeper's truck is super reinforced as we've seen but the guys find this out too late opening fire on the truck
Resulting in bullets bouncing back and killing both of them the creeper drops another bomb
Exploding under Sergeant Dan's truck sending it flipping out of control off the side of the road
Sergeant Dan split up with Sarge shooting cover fire and the creeper
Deflects the bullets with his axe what Sarge does get a shot in on the creepers fancy hat
Knocking it right off his head
And it looks like this really pisses him off
Tossing a throwing star of sorts at the sheriff landing right in his gun splitting the barrel then a voice calls out from nearby
it's Dan telling Sarge to get out of there as he intends to use the cannon on the
Creeper the creeper turns its attention to Dan running atom who struggles to get the gun into place and the creeper
Lunges into the air floating in slow motion down towards him and in the last possible moment Dan gets the gun unstuck
Unleashing a mass of bullets on the creeper leaving black wispy smokes a meeting from the holes well. That's got to hurt him right
That's a lot of bullets and the creeper tumbles into Dan knocking them both down to the ground and for a moment the two are
Unseen until the creeper Rises retrieving his axe seeing it stuck in Dan's head
Oh well
That sucks
Guess that learning all about the creepers history didn't do much good in him not dying also
Apparently the creeper leaves Sarge alone because we next see him returning to the truck
Where addy is still trapped she hides again when he enters and it seems like he doesn't notice her
But he appears right on top of her smelling or delicious fear once again going for one of his mini killing devices addy is then
Able to use the creepers truck trap against him sending the pole right through the creepers head causing his eyeball to pop out
Momentarily stunned addy is able to make it out of the truck, but the creeper is right behind her
But we see it's wounded and unable to fly so he goes back for one of his spear things having
Difficulty using it due to his missing. Eye, and it misses addy only getting her jacket
he then appears from the fog wielding his axe and suddenly in Belle in a bright white light which we see belongs to a
semi-truck that plows right into the creeper
Well that was a well-timed random semi on a farm Road in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night
Not even this is adequate to kill the creeper who finally makes it to Meg's farm
Finding a sign from her that says we know what you are with his hand attached the creeper takes the old grouse hand
Breaking it into dust and successfully covering up the evidence of his past and even though the hand is gone
Meg is still alive and knows a secret
So she could still take him out in the end and addy is later found on the highway by buddy
Who's here just in time to save the day? Thanks for everything you did man couldn't have done it without you wait
What did you do nothing after this everyone believes the creeper is gone
But his feeding cycle isn't quite over as we soon learned buddy shows up to say goodbye to addy
He's off to some big sporting event joining his fellow players on the bus
Waving like a doofus as they drive off and what we are seeing in this scene leads directly into the events of jeepers creepers
- which featured a bunch of kids on a bus who encountered the creeper and that is the same bus that drives off here it
Looks like buddy is amongst the unlucky on board that don't make it out bummer for buddy
And it's Jeepers Creepers - that truly shows us the end of his current feeding cycle scene over the three films
We're in the end the creature is trapped by Taggart and scene 23 years later still under his guard but back to our story
Here which after buddy leaves shows us articles strewn all over the place
Featuring different people describing encounters with the creeper accompanied by a woman giving a voiceover about the creepers whereabouts
It's Trish are surviving protagonists from jeepers creepers one
We learned this scene is set 23 years after what we just saw Trish telling us this time when it comes back
I will destroy the thing that killed my brother staring directly into the camera
Declaring come and get me you son of a bitch again
Just to clarify this series convoluted timeline this final scene takes place
23 years after the events of jeepers creepers - which ended the creepers feeding cycle seen over 1 through 3 so now
23 years later, it's about time for the cycle to begin once again this time
however Trish is ready for and is
determined to take him down as revenge for taking her brother this all sets up a story in a potential part 4
With the return of Trish engaging in a final battle with the creeper in present day during its next feeding cycle
Hopefully 3 made enough money that they can continue the story in part 4 because I actually
Really want to see that story play out who better to finally take out the creeper than Trish it would help tie the series together
Into a cohesive whole and perhaps bring it to a satisfying conclusion
But she will have to find a way to also learn about the creatures secret origins like Meg and Dan did
Unfortunately Dan is dead and most likely Meg
Also, wouldn't be alive over two decades later after part three so that's gonna be tough for her to figure out
Maybe they will also consider bringing back Taggart who?
Technically at the end of to also in present time has the creature still captured
but I also wouldn't be surprised if when part 4 picks up if the creeper has already escaped and
Taggart is just dead because if the creature has already captured. That's not gonna make for much of an epic battle
I must destroy him oh there. He is just hanging out. Well time to die. I guess alright
That'll wrap it up for my look at Jeepers Creepers 3 overall the movie doesn't quite feel worth the wait
But the creeper is still badass, and that's all that really matters honestly
And I am still excited by the story set up by the ending so perhaps you will get Trish and the creeper coming face-to-face
once again in part 4
What did you guys think of jeepers creepers 3 and it's ending was it worth the wait for you
