Lisa Lopes Last Days Documentary I may be late but I just caught this on VH-1. She was filming a very intriguing documentary about her time in the Honduras. What freaked me out was that they showed the filming right up until she had the fatal car crash! I totally didn't expect that. The documentary was very interesting and made me wonder what she would have been like as an entertainer today. All I could say is wow! [Edited 5/19/07 20:46pm] | |

I too saw the two hour documentary and it shook me totally when the car crashed. She sure did live a hard and turbulent life and I felt sadden that her solo release, Supernova wasn't even released domestically and didn't make a big splash in and out of the states. But the journey she experienced while she was in Honduras was quite overwhelming and beautiful. Such a beautiful and talented young lady whose life was cut short before she knew it!

It was very intriguing! It really gave you an insight to what an intelligent, beautiful and complex person Lisa was. I think she knew she was going to die though. You could just tell from the way she was talking that she knew something bad was going to happen. She looked troubled towards the end of the trip. She kept talking about spirits and having bad dreams. Even when Lisa was driving in the car on the day she was killed, you could see it in her face that something was bothering her. I read in the paper that VH1 has the whole car crash scene on tape but Lisa's family didn't want them to show the whole thing which is completely understandable. I wouldn't want to see it anyway.
Anyway the whole thing was was heartbreaking. The scene with the car crash made me cry. It really disturbed me. Lisa had so much more she wanted to accomplish. Now we'll always wonder "what could have been". Such a shame. [Edited 5/19/07 21:23pm] "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ

This was truly disturbing. It's very well done, but they might've crossed the line with that ending. I'm a bit freaked. | |

I just finished watching it, and watched about 3/4 of it. That last half hour scared me. From the dreams, to the little boy getting hit and Lisa claimed that the angel took the wrong one and was after her was chilling to me. I wasn't surprised they showed as much of the crash as they did. That documentary was definitely her testimony. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

I actually gasped when they showed the crash, I guess I wasn't expecting that. She seemed to really be in touch with her soul and seemed to know something was coming...EXCELLENT show. | |

Hi all,
I thought that the car crash scene was one of the most disturbing things that I saw this year! Does anyone think that she might be alive if she wasnt looking at the camera when the accident happened? Mutts | |

Very Good Documentary!!
I do wish after the crash they told you more of what happened... Show the people in the hospital & or the people that were in the car talking about what happened exactly. Did anyone else die in the crash? Was anyone else hurt? They never said. It was very creepy when she actually died. Really wild how she smiles, normal and a second later.. she is trying to stop the car from going off the road. Does anyone know the schedule??? When are they going to show it again? | |

Very intersting documentary. And considering it was her own project, it's interesting just how unravelled she comes off in it.
The crash was really chilling. You knew it was coming. Very intense. Very good show, though. [Edited 5/20/07 8:29am] "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss | |

Yeah, I knew the crash was coming just didnt know how much they would show. Im glad they stopped it when they did. I also found it a little abrupt how the whole ended by a quick switch to that show Charm School. No end credits, fade to black or final pic of Lisa or anything.
Lisa was my favorite. The carving into her arm part really surprised and saddened me. I always knew she had a lot more she wanted to do. I had a copy of Supernova but lost it. I heard she was working on a song with David Bowie at one point. I think she had a lot of interesting music to come. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

I hate to say this, but I think she planned the whole thing.
Throughout the whole Doc, whenever she was in a car someone else was driving, until the final day. Her constent cry for attention. She looks in the camera (while she was driving) and I could almost see it. She was saying Ok, here goes. I found it odd that when she "lost control" she went to the left of the road. Typically when you lose control (when you're driving on the right side of the road) you go right, you don't go left. I heard her say "OMG" first, and then the car "lost control." I find the whole thing very suspsicious. The way it was filmed, the content, the same stories we heard on the Behind the Music special. This Doc doesn't sit right with me. | |

I haven't seen this and it sounds sad and intriguing at the same time. But do you actually see her dying.? | |

no. you see the car swerving and running off the road, and then it stops. like that was the end of the tape. and it might very well be if it was damaged in the crash or the camera stopped taping on impact.

I believe she was trying to avoid an on coming car that was driving on the wrong side of the road. Now as far as the documentary I think the director spliced it together as most documentaries are done to make it look like all the premonitions and stuff were all tied together, so basically we're watching the documentary as the final cut up until she died. Notice how they showed her looking at the sun before the next scene where she gets in the car. Remember how she recounted the sun in the nightmare she had? It's still creepy, with you watching the last moment, minute, second of someones life. [Edited 5/20/07 9:56am] | |

I don't see why she would plan something with a car full of other people. I agree about the editing process and we knew she had a feeling something was going on. Apparently the video was still recording but her family didn't want the rest of it aired and understandably so. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

[Edited 5/20/07 9:56am] if she was on the right side of the road trying to pass a car, and a truck was coming in the left lane, you would think she would swerve back into her own lane, rather than across the road. still, i dont think she intended to crash. the whole thing is still very erie, especially knowing what is going to happen from the moment she says "we need the red car", and then knowing that she was the only one who was even seriously hurt... yea, i know... | |

I caught bits and pieces of it last night. I was wondering why she had such "candid" scenes of her in her bed with her breasts out abd nipples showing even though they blurred her nipples out. I wanna see the rest. I missed the car crash scene. Make Afros not War | |

Reminds me of the Tupac documentary, where one of the first things you hear at the beginning of the film is; "something happen, I got shot" or words to those effect after you see the scenes of police and ambalance after the last shooting that killed him. [Edited 5/20/07 10:45am] | |

The only thing I can think of was that there was another car to her right preventing her from getting back in the right lane so she swerved more to the left?
When you see the wreckage it's amazing that no one else sustained life-threatening injuries. Plus the fact that she was driving that day, had on her seat belt, and didn't suffer makes me think that it was just her time and it would be without blame or suspicion on someone else. She was key in her own transitioning. [Edited 5/20/07 10:56am] Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

yeah i saw it too. I didn't know that she was such a talented artist. She was right about the bad publicity she got when she burned the house down. I remember at that time when she made out to be this crazy wild drunk woman who burned down this poor NFL star's house over jealousy. But she was really getting beat up by this bastard. It makes me wonder what would i had done in that situation.
I was also shocked to learn that she was a "cutter". Man she really lived a difficult life. I had goose bumps when she actually showed the footage of her the second before the car actually ran off the road. You could hear them screaming right before the tape went to the snow screen. It was very eerie. I was thinking about it when I woke up this morning. And yeah I agree, it was very strange how she was the only fatality when she was the ONLY one wearing her seat belt in the car. I guess it was just one of those things. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

well let's not discount the fact that she WAS this crazy wild drunk woman who burned down this NFL star's house over jealousy. she even says so in the documentary. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss | |
