- TriviaThe role of Vanessa was originally much smaller in the initial script, but Director John Ottman liked the character so much, along with the casting choice of Eva Mendes, that he expanded her role.
- GoofsWhen Reese drives Amy to the library, she mentions the story of a serial killer killing 8 students (in reference to the first movie). Not only was the body count listed incorrectly, in that film, only 6 students were actually murdered. Michelle, Damon, Tosh, Parker, Sasha, and an extra in the radio station. The other 4 deaths were Principal Wexler, the Dean, the Janitor, and supposedly Brenda who we find out at the end actually survived. 9 total deaths.
- Crazy creditsAs the end credits roll, Professor Solomon is being pushed in a wheelchair by a nurse who happens to be the killer from the first movie!
- Alternate versionsGerman cinema version was edited for violence and gore to secure a "Not under 16" rating.

Campus fun
I'm just a sucker for a slasher! No matter how bad they are I usually enjoy them all even "Halloween: Resurrection" was quite entertaining in my book, although not needed one bit! "Urban Legends" was another slasher I enjoyed and although I know it's nothing special, it's certainly no "Scream", "Urban Legends: Final Cut" tries to enter the "Scream" franchise but just simply doesn't have the same balls "Scream" has.
Nevertheless it was entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable! It starts out a little bit like Wes Craven's "New Nightmare" being set on a film set, (also like "Scream 3"). If you have seen "Urban Legends" then you basically have seen "Urban Legends: Final Cut" because it's more of the same stalk and slash, only this time not all the kills are off-screen! (That really annoyed me in the first one!) It follows the same formula on the set of a top film college. Everyones trying to win the "Hitcock prize" by making low-budget crap and a Kirsten Dunst look-a-like (the real one was too expensive) is going to make a film about a killer basing his murders on urban legends (de ja vu!) Only the film comes to life and someone is killing off her crew.
That's the basic plot, it's simple and everyone can follow it. This is the type of film girls would watch after "Twilight" on a sleepover thinking its a really adult, extreme horror film after being mildly scared by "Twilight". That means that for the rest of us, the scares are minimal and the action is just enjoyable instead of heart-stopping! However, what I did like was the way it used humour.
It was really funny in some places and the black security guard was a hoot baby! So you can't say that this film wasn't fun. What was also fantastic was the ending! I thought I was being very clever in sussing out who the killer was but it took me completely by surprise! "Urban Legends: Final Cut" is a wannabee "Scream" for a more miniature audience (i.e. 12+) it tries to be clever and sometimes it is but it is fun throughout and never dull. Just don't expect an out-of-this-world slasher because you simply aren't going to get it. If you're not expecting much then give it a try. I really enjoyed it.
