Lewis Romero is a character in Final Destination 3.

Biography

Lewis was an arrogant, competitive and loud-mouthed high school senior with a football scholarship, his high-school football team called The Sultans. He was the boyfriend of Veronica. He was a survivor of the Devil's Flight roller coaster after starting a argument with Kevin Fischer and being removed from the ride by security.

Final Destination 3

Lewis is first seen showing off his skill by playing a high striker. He later boards the Devil's Flight roller coaster. Before the ride starts, Wendy has a premonition that the ride will crash. When she panics, Lewis begins to mock her, causing a fight to erupt between him and Kevin Fischer. Lewis accidentally slapped Erin Ulmer across the face during the scuffle, causing Ian McKinley to join the fight. As a result, he is thrown off the ride, along with several other students, just moments before the ride crashes as Wendy predicted, killing the remaining passengers on board.

Lewis later appears at the funeral of Ashley and Ashlyn. After the service, Lewis tells Kevin how boring it was, and that if he ever has to come to his funeral to bring him a PSP. That way, he'd "have something to do".

Death

He was later found by Wendy and Kevin at the gym to question who was after Ian and Erin, and that he's next on Death's List. Lewis cared less and rebuffs them, claiming the two are seeing things because of the trauma caused by the death of their loved ones, Jason and Carrie.

Lewis is killed when the cables of the gym equipment (blow flex machine) he is using are cut by falling displayed swords, above the machine, and, still disbelieving that he was destined to die, Lewis lifts the weights once again, which swing down and crush his head like a watermelon, spraying his blood on Kevin and Wendy.

Trivia

• Lewis' surname is a reference to horror director George A. Romero, who directed Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985).
• Lewis is similar to Carter Horton, as they're both arrogant jocks and they believed that they were never going to die.
• Lewis shares his first name with Evan Lewis, the survivor of Route 23 from Final Destination 2.
• Lewis' actor, Texas Battle, appears as Jake Washington in Wrong Turn 2: Dead End.

Clues

• When Lewis plays the hammer game at the carnival, he hits the bell with so much force that it knocks away the wooden figure's head off.
• In Wendy's picture of Lewis, it looks like a weight is coming down on his head.
• A cardboard sultan is also shown in the picture. Lewis's football team was named The Sultans.
• The aforementioned sultan was wielding a pair of swords identical to the ones on display in the gym.
• A toy bear is shown in Lewis's picture. A large, stuffed bear is on display in the gym.
• The sign with the swords on them reads "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger".
• The song "Killing Time", by American punk rock band: Hed P.E., plays on the radio at the gym.
• Lewis continuously repeats "That is 3, number 3, number 3..." during the hammer game. If one is to consider Ashley and Ashlyn's death scenes as a single one, Lewis would have the third death scene in the movie.
• At the amusement park, Lewis says "I just win!" when he scores at the hammer game. He says the same line seconds before the weights crush his head.
