Quotes:
|
-
Carter: As far as I know, this shit can circle around and get us all again. But for right now, I'm the safest fucker in the world, because you're still NEXT.
-
Billy Hitchcock: There they go, here we stay. [As he watches the plane take off and then explode]
-
Bludworth: There are no accidents, no coincidences, and no escapes.
-
Tod Waggner: We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we believe it's in a far and distant future. Not to have any connections with the day already began, or that death could arrive this same afternoon...
-
Billy Hitchcock: Carter, you dick!

Trivia:
|
- In every death, "Rocky Mountain High" plays. It's on the intercom in the airport, on Tod's radio, the teacher puts on John Denver's Greatest Hits, even a French Guy who looks like John Denver plays the song at the end of the movie in Paris.
- Before his death Tod's name is torn from the magazine, Tod is also the German word for death.
- As well as footage, Final Destination borrows in other ways from the crash of TWA Flight 800. The July 17th, 1996 flight was also carrying a high school French club, it exploded suddenly and was investigated for a possible deliberate act causing the accident - first a bomb, then a surface to air missile. As with the movie, it was ultimately decided that the crash was a result of mechanical failure (explosion in the central fuel tank), although the FBI investigation is still open.
- Much of the news footage shown is actual footage from the July 1996 explosion and crash of TWA Flight 800 off East Moriches, Long Island, New York.
- During the opening credits, all of the deaths in the movie are foreshadowed. There is a hanging doll, a guillotine, and a picture of a knife in someone's chest.
