Trivia:
The "HICE Pale Ale" truck that blocks Wendy and Kevin in the drive-thru lane is identical to one seen leading up to the crash in
Final Destination 2.
Goofs:
Factual errors:
A nail gun cannot shoot without the trigger being pulled back, and the front end (where the nail shoots out) being pushed into the wood; furthermore, electric nail guns have to be within certain angles in order to shoot. It would be impossible for the gun to shoot like it did in the movie.

I thought i was in for a disappointment. I was wrong .........
Rating: 7/10
I'm not gonna lie to ya, i wasn't looking forward to final destination
3.Just seeing a roller coaster full of screaming people on the poster
made me roll my eyes and assume that this franchise has run out of
steam .
So you can imagine my surprise to find that final destination 3 is a
entertaining , funny and shocking thriller that proves that horror
sequels can be pretty darn good if handled properly .
Directed by james wong with style and a pace that hits the ground
running ,the film is very much like a roller coaster in its self -
fast,packed full of laughs and most importantly full of frights .
The film is essentially a remake of the first film only with a
different cast, gorier deaths and a higher level of self awareness.But
this is a rare case in which copying the original isn't a bad thing- it
keeps that sense of inventiveness and wit that made the first one
great. It may be a clone , but its a very good one !
Final destination 3 is gory ,homourous and clever fun that will make me
think twice about my horror sequel prejudice....
