Corrected entry: Throughout the franchise we are taught that when someone intervenes in death's plan that person is skipped until it circles back around for another attempt. However in Janet's case she is skipped by intervention at the car wash but is killed at the movies before the pattern is complete had the last vision unfolded as normal.

Correction: It is revealed that Death screwed around with Nick, as Death always planned the three to die at the Cafe, not earlier. This means that Death was screwing with Nick and his Mall-Disaster premonition.

Corrected entry: In the mall scene where Nick's trying to keep Lori from going into the mechanism of the escalator, her legs are being shredded (crushed) in the machine and blood is coming out of her mouth. Medically speaking that can happen if there is internal bleeding, or a wound relatively close to the head, but this would not happen with a broken leg.

Correction: It's a premonition. Premonitions are not always very factual, especially if the person having the premonition doesn't know the "actual" specifics. So, at best, it's a character mistake, not a movie mistake.

Corrected entry: The construction workers have run out of nails for the nail machine. But when the actors come, the machine is full of nails again.

Correction: It wasn't out of nails, it just jammed. You can see him hit it a few times to clear it, but put it down to take his break.

Corrected entry: In the scene at the custom car shop, Lori hits a lever that causes the black van to drop down on the car lift. Those lifts have special devices within the lift rails that prevent that kind of situation from happening. When she hit the lever, the car may have dropped a couple or a few inches but not drop almost all the way back. The safety mechanisms would have engaged instantly.

Correction: Pretty close, but the safeties have to be engaged to prevent it from falling, and not all mechanic shops do that, instead relying on the hydraulic pressure to hold the rack up. If the safety hasn't been engaged, or is faulty, the lift can still fall all the way down. I've unfortunately seen it happen.

Corrected entry: In the scene with the escalator, the shots showing its inner workings near the bottom depict many chains and a couple of rollers sitting out wily nilly. Real escalators only have a simple return wheel (or gears on the sides) and a bunch of empty space at the bottom. (01:08:15)

Correction: It's a premonition, not fact. His premonition was not accurate, meaning he doesn't really know what the inner workings of a escalator look like.

Suggested correction: Nonsense. Not all can be put out with water, some can.

If you did research on fires you will see that putting water on chemical fires makes it spread. Gasoline and oil float to the surface of the water and continue to burn.

Trivia: The huge crash that starts the film takes place at McKinley Speedway. The students who die in Final Destination 3 attend McKinley High School, and there is an running gag in that film that one of the students targeted for death is also named McKinley.

More trivia for The Final Destination

Question: I think I have missed something, but I believe, the deaths in the movie are all wrong. First of all, in the first premonition, the cowboy dies BEFORE hunt and Janet, but later in the movie he dies after them. Secondly, how can the cowboy survive if he was in the thing that was SUPPOSED to kill him? Thirdly, in the premonition, a car explosion kills George and Lori, but when Nick falls back and gets impaled, he isn't burned. Lastly,during the mall scene, before the premonition, Nick reaches the theater too late to save Janet, and she dies, but George was the last person who died, and Lori was after George. It should have gone to Lori, then Nick, THEN Janet. Can someone please explain this or tell me if I'm wrong?

M0vi3

Answer: Janet never died before the premonition, most likely case scenario would be that since both Lori and Janet were at the theater death would be more likely to "kill to birds with one stone" which would mean that he wouldn't care about the order. Death would just want to get it done. Same scenario for Nick, Janet and Lori's deaths at the cafe, and Ashley and Ashlyn's deaths from FD3.

Chosen answer: 1. The cowboy almost died in the original accident (hence, he ended up in the hospital) and thus death moved on to Hunt & Janet.2. The cowboy would have died as he did in the premonition, but the only reason he died like that is because Nick asked him to move (in the vision) which he didn't do in real life.3. Nick was close enough to be pushed backward by the pressure wave, but not close enough to be burned.4. *shrugs* mistake maybe?

Deedge

My answer: The cowboy got squashed against a wall by an engine and Nick died in his vision after George and Lori died because he stumbles backwards onto a piece of sharp wood. Well that's what I think.

Answer: I believe that in order for Janet to fully skip her turn, Hunt and Janet would have to both be saved and since Hunt died, Janet didn't really skip her turn and death threw her randomly into the list.
