Ben Willis worked for a resort hotel in the island of Tower Bay, living with his wife Sarah, daughter Susie and son William.
One night, he is hit by a car while walking home. The four teenagers driving decide to dump the man they presume dead into the ocean, covering up the incident. However, Willis survives and begins
stalking those responsible the followingJuly 4 , murdering them with a fish hook. He is eventually stopped by the two surviving teenagers, Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt ) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr. ), and loses his right hand in the process.In the original novel, he is a rather mysterious character. His name isn't Ben Willis, but his last name is Gregg. He is seeking retribution to murder only Julie in order to avenge his younger brother's death. He is not a fisherman, never uses a hook, and there is no killer/mascot. Instead of losing his hand or being thrown in the water, he gets hit in the head by Ray with a flashlight (incapacitating but not killing him).
"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer"
The next year, Julie and her friends win a vacation to Tower Bay from a radio station. However, it has been set up by Willis and his son Will, who has befriended Julie while concealing his true identity, to finish off the final two responsible for his accident. By the end of the film, both die on the island, Will accidentally by his father's hook and Ben shot by Julie. Although the film ends with Ben returning and attacking Julie in her bedroom, it's unclear if this is real and he does kill her and Ray or, like the shock at the end of the first film, is simply a dream.
"I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer"
After his (apparent) death, Ben Willis becomes a legend as the Fisherman who comes to seek revenge for those holding the secret of a death. Nine years after the initial accident, four teens cover up the true story behind their friend's death. The following
July 4 , each is stalked by the undead Fisherman and killed one by one.The Fisherman, although an apparition, appeared still to be mortal. Two teens survive the incident and fight the Fisherman, who is shredded to pieces by blades. The Fisherman once again materializes his fatal legend and possibly kills one of the two survivors in the desert, after she gets a flat tire in the middle of the desert but does not kill the other one who is not seen again in the film. In this film, it is discovered that the end of the second film was indeed a reality and Julie and Ray were killed after months of trying to save their lives.External links
