A big finale is upon us!
To see what happened in Part 1, go here.
For Part 2, here.
For Part 3, here.
Now, let's get to Standing!
He offs himself the next day and that wraps up that Arc!
Tom 'M-O-O-N spells MOON' Cullen is apparently immune because...um...let's not go there.
So, he needs his men to capture the ones he knows and get the information.
His men accidentally kill The Judge (thanks for nothing, Ossie Davis) and he pops up to kill...Sam Raimi?!?
For all my complaints about Flagg's absence in the last 3 parts, he more than makes up for it here.
This is The Randal Flagg Show, co-starring everyone else.
He tries to interrogate the other Spy (Dayna- who helped restore power, but now just wears lingerie).
She tries to kill him, but he morphs and laughs it off.
She tries to kill him, but he morphs and laughs it off.
She offs herself (a weird theme here) and he gets no information.
Things go better in the Desert where he finally meets Nadine in person (or, in creature, to be more accurate).
He has his way with her, the woman realizing too late that he's a Monster.
Things go worse when he takes her back to Vegas, she freaks out and, you guessed it, offs herself- denying him his demon baby.
He has his way with her, the woman realizing too late that he's a Monster.
As random luck would have it, the mean lady from Part 2 (aka Shawnee Smith) is now in Vegas and spots Tom Cullen leaving.
He sends folks out to get him in the Desert, including...John Landis?!?
Our Heroes, meanwhile, are wandering through the Desert- like in the Bible, you see- and Sinise breaks his leg.
He asks them to leave him behind, which works out well in the end.
The other three are captured near the border and Ray Walston is killed.
The other two are tied in a cross-like manner- again, like the Bible, you see- and given a 'show trial' for a bombing done by Trashcan Man.
Speaking of him, he did find one of the Nukes and drives it into the City towed behind an ATV.
Google says that the missiles can weigh anywhere between 600 lbs. and 79,000 lbs., so...is that even possible?

Regardless, the Hand of God appears- since every King Mini-Series needs usually dodgy CGI in Act 3- and sets off the bomb, killing everyone.
I guess it is a happy ending for our Heroes...is it?
Sinise and Tom Cullen watch the City explode in the distance.
Time to go home.
They get back by Winter and are met by...Stephen King?!?
Oh right- he was in Part 3 as well. Never mind.
He tells them that Sinise's baby was born, but there's a catch.
It was born with the flu (how?!?) but manages to survive with the Parents' antibodies.
The Musician's Wife is also going to have a child, so the new Generation will continue.
The End.
This sure...had lots of things happen. I did get what I was asking for.
The End.
Right off the bat, what was the point of the spies? They never reported back. Two of them didn't even come home. Tom comes home, but only after the bomb goes off.
About the bomb, he hired the crazy guy to bring it to him...and he did. What was the big plan again?
Randall Flagg is kind of awful as a Character- at least as far as his planning goes. All of his men fail. All of his plans fail. He spends all 4 Parts trying to do them and...fails.
Yes, he does fail to a literal Deus Ex Machina. Even so, was his plan going to work otherwise? Doubtful.
The finale leaves so many people out- specifically the people back in Boulder. It's almost like they spent 90% of the other parts in Boulder and then overcompensated here.
At least we get 3 Director Cameos.
I'd nitpick more, but I think that the Film has become self-aware.
Next time, a random pick from my pile of Horror Remakes from the '00s. It is a tale of violence, but is the message still there? Stay tuned...
