The dead guy in the drivers seat - Wrecked (2011) Discussion

I did not see anything even similar to what you're saying...I never saw a dead guy in the drivers seat...

Do you ever... get the feeling that you were meant to do something extraordinary?

There was only ever a guy in the back seat. The main character did often hallucinate seeing his wife or girl friend in the driver's seat.

The OP is correct. There was definitely a dead guy in the front seat in the beginning and he did appear and disappear. As to why this was or what this meant, I cannot answer. Perhaps it was Brody’s character compensating for the lack of a driver (he was coming up with his own version of what the driver may have looked like) or it may have been just another hallucination.

nope, there're only 2 other guys in the beginning, the one who was dead in the backseat, and the one that (maybe) got 'ejected' from the seat and ended up on the front of the car a few meters.

I have to disagree. I’m pretty sure there was indeed a dead guy in the front seat. He was only flashed very very quickly, and certainly did not remain there for any significant portion of the film. However, myself and the OP seemed to have seen these quick flashes. The woman (who we later learn to have been Brody’s girlfriend/wife) also flashes very quickly in the front seat. Regardless of who is correct though, this issue clearly did not have any significant impact on the film. :)

I agree, the only person I saw in the driver's seat is the woman in the scene right after he shoots at the cougar. The purpose, I believe, is to show that she wasn't just in a dream, but that she can appear as a hallucination with him wide awake.

For those of you insisting there's another, can you narrow down and describe approximately how far into the movie and describe the scene or scenes before and after it? Several shots show the guy in the backseat which *might* be mistaken for the front seat (though it's a stretch).

Nobody was seen in the driver's seat except the girl when he was hallucinating

The guy that was in the drivers seat was ejected during the crash. It looks like Brody's character was the only one wearing a seat belt.

This feels so absurd, talking about the number of dead dudes ;)

I remember this:
1) Dude in back seat (no one in front seat)
2) Dude up the road (that gets fed to the lion)
3) Dude in cave (with cell phone). It's the hunter that steals the cash from the boot.
4) Dude in the middle of the forest (gets ejected from car during accident)

I think that's it.

I've watched this film three times now. There is without a doubt never EVER a single shot (quick flash or otherwise) of any dead man in the driver's seat.

That would be a big, huge "negative." There's never a dead body in the front seat. You guys must be watching the extended director's cut only available to the special people of the world.

I just saw the film and there is definitely NOT a man in the driver's seat. There's only one in the back seat then another man way ahead who was the driver after being ejected from the car.

There's nobody next to him. He sees the guy in the back seat through the rear view mirror. Maybe it appeared he was next to him but he wasn't.

The OP must be talking about when the main character dreams his girlfriend is sitting next to him. She is sitting in the driver's seat while he is asleep or unconscious, dreaming, near the beginning of the movie when he is still trapped in the car. He wakes up suddenly, and she's gone.
