The exterior of Ms. Lewton's house was built in five days. The residents of Vancouver didn't want the filmmakers to blow it up as they thought it was a nice house. See more »
Goofs
(at around 25 mins) The newscaster said after the crash that the group consisted of 40 students and 4 teachers. This means that during the scene where they all got kicked off the plane, there was no reason for the conversation between the two teachers and the airline worker about how one of them had to get back on the plane to watch the students. There were already two other teachers on board, so the French teacher who went back on the plane in actuality would not have had to die. See more »
Quotes
Tod Waggner:
We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast. But when we say this, we imagine that the hour is placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun, or that death could arrive this same afternoon - this afternoon which is so certain, and which has every hour filled in advance.

Alternate Versions
The DVD features the following deleted scenes:
A love scene between Alex (Devon Sawa) and Clear (Ali Larter) on the beach.
A pregnancy test which reveals that Clear is pregnant from having sex with Alex.
A third ending where Alex is electrocuted and dies. After having their child, Clear has the gift of seeing "death" before it happens. Carter also survives.
I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that genuinely kept me on the edge of my seat. Final Destination is a true roller coaster ride. It is not your "typical teen-age horror flick." This one is original with cleverly crafted and blocked death sequences. I promise you...you _will_ jump! And of course it has Devon Sawa who is a charming and talented actor (check him out in Idle Hands for a great performance). Don't read too many reviews that might accidentally give something away! In fact stop reading this now and just go see this great movie...and be ready for the ride of your life!
