Final Destination 3 is the third film in the Final Destination series, released in 2006.Wendy and her high school friends are visiting an amusement park with her graduating class. But after a feeling of dread that follows her through the night and hopping on a roller coaster, she receives a premonition that the ride is going to claim the lives of her and her friends. She succeeds in saving most of them, but many still die including her boyfriend Jason. Worse still, Wendy starts noticing the pictures she took of her peers seem to foreshadow their respective demises, and as Death starts a new list and chases the survivors to balance the books she takes it upon herself to try and save her friends. | |

Sound-Only Death | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_18ba2fe | comment |
Sound-Only Death: The movie closes with the sounds of the climactic subway crash. Judging by Wendy's premonition, it does not end well for anyone involved. | |

Source Music | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_1ebbebc5 | comment |
Source Music: This wouldn't be Final Destination without the diegetic music that clues into Death's design and list with characters' fates or how they were supposed to die. "Love Rollercoaster" by the Ohio Players. This is what Ashley and Ashlyn are listening to at Phoneix Tanning. It alludes to the rollercoaster accident they were supposed to die on but others have also pointed out the ominous urban legend of the woman screaming was her actually being murdered or supposedly dying in a rollercoaster accident. At that point, both their fates are obvious but the music really helps emphasise it. "Turn Around and Look at Me" by The Vogues. This song is a constant motif in Final Destination 3, which always plays just before Death is about the strike. The song first suddenly starts playing on the radio and is what tips Wendy of the runaway truck approaching the drive-through that is hurtling right behind them. It's particularly glaring with the lyric, "There is someone walking behind you." It returns when Wendy is rushing to the Tricentennial in her car, where she is trying to prevent her sister Julie, the other person with her (Perry) and Kevin's deaths but also alludes to the fact Ian is in the car behind her, following her. And finally, with the singer on Train 081. The singer, along with a gust of wind are a constant omen of Death. This clues Wendy to the true meaning of her photograph with Jason's blurry face, much how a train blurs focus when it's moving, her photo really represents she is meant to die on the train. "Killing Time" by Hed PE (Planet Earth) is what's playing during Lewis' workout, which also hints towards his death. | |

Iconic Sequel Character | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_221a4bf4 | comment |
Iconic Sequel Character: Wendy Christiansen is almost certainly the most beloved and recognizable protagonist in the series despite not appearing until the third movie. Several of her fellow survivors from that film (Kevin, Ian, Erin, Ashley, and Ashlynn) also manage to reach an iconic level when many previous film characters don't. | |

Ironic Echo: When Kevin tries to help Wendy in the aftermath of the roller coaster disaster, she coldly dismisses him, saying that the only reason they ever hung out together was that they were dating each other's best friends. Wendy tells Kevin, "We don't even like each other." Later on, when Wendy says that she'll be freaking out every second, hoping that Kevin is okay, he teases her by asking, "Why? We don't even like each other." Wendy gives a weak laugh, and the two hug each other. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: Julie snuck her way onto the rollercoaster despite being underage, along with her friend Perry. Both of them are around 15-16, making them younger than the protagonists. Perry is later killed by a flag, while Julie's ultimate fate is more ambiguous with the Bolivian Army Ending. | |

Lovable Alpha Bitch: Ashley and Ashlyn fulfill the ditzy Valley Girl-esque aspects of the trope, and they do appear to be popular. However they appear to be genuinely nice girls who invite Wendy to come to the tanning salon with them - implied to be because they know she lost her boyfriend and best friend in the accident. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |

Foregone Conclusion: If you saw the previous two films, then you know that the characters just saving each other from death does not save them completely, it just moves them down the list meaning that Wendy, Kevin and Julie are pretty much doomed during the train crash sequence. | |

Same Story, Different Names | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_42299519 | comment |
Same Story, Different Names: There are some surprisingly close similarities between this movie and the Final Destination book, End of the Line: Both are set in the summer between high school and college; Denny, who has the vision in the novel, has it while he and his school-aged friends (though they don't go to school together, they're completing a summer program) are on a rollercoaster in Coney Island, and Denny freaks out because he believed he can feel the carriage hitting something attached to the tracks...which actually happens in this version. The vision that Denny has is about a subway train crash in the Big Applesauce that was due to kill his whole party. The vision that Wendy has at the very end is the exact same thing, although only with herself, Kevin, and Julie (as they're the only people still living). | |

Wham Shot | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_4e7f703c | comment |
Wham Shot: Frankie's death. Now even though he was next on Death's list. It was the fact that Wendy and Kevin who hadn't even sought him out yet and just narrowly escaped death from the runaway truck themselves. Only for Frankie to be revealed as the driver in front of them and whose face was obfuscated up until that point, die. The shot of Frankie's head in the engine fan is still pretty shocking even on rewatches. It's paired with a ""Eureka!" Moment but when Wendy looks at the picture of the mysterious riders who are next on Death's list and sees a familiar bracelet on the wrist of the unknown people which belong to her sister Julie. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: At the funeral, Frankie thinks that Ashley and Ashlyn are dead because of him. When Julie asks why, he tells her that if men like him didn't see women as anything but sex-toys, they wouldn't try so hard to look good by going on diets, exercising, and (in Ashley and Ashlyn's case, which is what led to their deaths), tanning. Too bad he ruins the moment when he tries to kiss Julie seconds later. Ian makes some pretty valid points about how vague the "signs of death" are, pointing out that virtually anything could be interpreted as a sign if you're looking hard enough. Also, his suggestion that the last in line should make the utilitarian sacrifice to break the chain is pragmatically logical, and even followed through with in a deleted ending to the fourth movie (although it doesn't work). And he's also not wrong in that people only say the things that Wendy is saying when it's an accident. | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_97926168 | comment |
Rewatch Bonus: In general, the film has many rewatch bonuses and easter eggs which hint towards how each of the characters will die but also to the previous films. The most notable are the pictures which foreshadow how each of the characters are supposed to die. The conversation Wendy has with Julie on the first time viewing could be seen as Julie feeling bad for Wendy who lost her boyfriend and best friend and has survivor guilt over not doing enough to save the people on the ride. But upon a rewatch, you realise that Julie's silence could also be her own survivor's guilt as she never told Wendy that she was also on the ride and was one of the people Wendy inadvertently saved that night. Just before Frankie Cheeks' brutal death by the truck engine fan. You can see a familiar style of dress in the guy in front of Kevin's car. It's also Genius Bonus as Frankie originally cut in front of Wendy and Kevin at the rollercoaster and thus died before them in the premonition. Here Wendy and Kevin are trapped due to another truck (which is the same company, HICE Pale Ale who responsible for the Route 23 pileup in the 2nd movie) and the car behind them blocking their escape. While Wendy and Kevin end up saving themselves by breaking the windshield. Frankie dies because he prioritised his spot, refused to move and didn't listen to Kevin. On the subject of Lewis' death. His picture involves a sultan holding scimitars (the symbol of the team he plays for) and what look like a weight coming down on his head from a Test Your Strength game. Wendy and Kevin do actually point out some of these details but they fail to consider the full extent of the clues. What's notable here is that Lewis is the one responsible for the head coming off the display at the start of the film, which foreshadowed his bullheadedness and what would eventually lead to his death by his own hands in the gym. After realising that Julie was one of the riders, rewatching the scenes with the rollercoaster is difficult to spot the two since they are wearing hoodies (blue and pink respectively), but at the tricentennial, you can actually see both Julie and Perry wearing those hoodies at the food stand. It's a subtle touch but they're there nonetheless. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The employee at the tanning booth has to take a phone call outside. As he's not at the counter, he doesn't know anything about the malfunction that leads to Ashley and Ashlyn's deaths; and since he accidentally locks himself out of the building, he can't get back in when he hears them screaming. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A plot point; photographs taken of the various characters show the way that they'll end up dying. The opening credits also prelude the gory and unseemly final deaths of the characters using the carnival's various signs, texts, and art pieces. Erin using the metal detector up the nails and examining them to her face, in addition to the gun pointed at her in the photo, foreshadows her death by the nail gun. | |

Ironic Last Words: After believing that he averted his own death, Lewis shouts "Fuck Death! I just win! That's all I know how to do Kevin! Baby, I just win!" and then the weights come down and crush his head. Ian believes he was skipped over in the death cycle, which seems to be proven when fireworks go off, are sent flying at him and miss him completely. He yells out to Wendy and Kevin (the former whom he blames for the death of his girlfriend) that he's off death's list and isn't dying while flipping them off... right before he gets crushed by a cherry picker which lands on him in such a way that flips him off. For extra points, the sign also has his surname McKinley on it which Ian has pointly hated. | |

The train splitting in half would actually cause the coaster to slow down as it would suddenly have half the mass and momentum. Losing wheels would add even more drag. The end result would be the coaster either bottoming in a valley or locking up on a hill. This has happened in Real Life because a coaster went out too light (too few riders) or even because of excessive wind. | |

Take a Moment to Catch Your Death: Lewis narrowly avoid having his head cut off by ornamental scimitars while on a weight machine. Exuberant, he does another rep on the machine, not realizing that the scimitars have frayed the cables, resulting in them snapping and crushing his head between the weights. Who would design a machine like that anyway? Death, of course. Do you really have to ask? At the very end, Kevin and Julie were both killed when the train derailed, but Wendy survived the train crash long enough to crawl out in agony and limp across the train tracks, only to be hit by the train coming in the opposite direction. | |

Irony: Right before the rollercoaster accident, Carrie says she's planning to dump Kevin soon. After the accident, Kevin wistfully tells Wendy that he was planning to propose to her. Wendy leaves Ashley and Ashlyn a message that ends with "sorry I was too late". She means too late to join them at the tanning salon. It ends up meaning too late to save them. When they're getting on the rollercoaster, Jason tells Wendy "I'll meet you at the end". He means the end of the ride. It ends up meaning at the end of the movie. | |

Hope Spot: It looks like Wendy, Kevin, and Julie manage to cheat Death; Kevin and Julie have been saved by Wendy, while Wendy herself avoids being killed by Ian, who's apparently her cause of death. It even goes to skip three months afterward to show that they're still alive. However, it turns out that Wendy's cause of death isn't Ian, but trains (see Red Herring below), and because Kevin and Julie are with her, they get killed too (though They may already been doomed from the start, anyway, if one believes in the theory that Death is the one who gave Wendy the premonitions). The alternate version of the tanning bed deaths has Ashlyn freeing herself from the bed, only to electrocute herself and Ashley when she tries to free her friend. | |

Lighter and Softer: Though none of the films is actually light on tone (well, except for the fourth, maybe), this film goes back to the teenage angsty tone of the first (they're directed by the same director) and thus isn't quite plot-heavy and mature as the second film, which is dark no matter how brutal the deaths for the later films are. | |

One-Steve Limit: Averted. The school name is McKinley, while that is also Ian's last name. It comes up in the plot when Wendy has a vision of the name and assumes it's related to Ian in some way. | |

The Not-Love Interest | |
| Final Destination 3 / int_f1e68523 | comment |
The Not-Love Interest: Wendy and Kevin slowly bond over their experiences of loss at the fair and the fact that they have to race together to save others (and themselves) from Death's List. While it can easily be interpreted as romantic, they are still grieving, and no love ever comes out of it. Averted in the novelization. Wendy and Kevin discover that they do have feelings for each other, and even come to kiss. But they decide that they will talk about their relationship after they finish with the Death's plans. | |

When they're getting on the rollercoaster, Jason tells Wendy "I'll meet you at the end". He means the end of the ride. It ends up meaning at the end of the movie. | |

Artistic License – Physics: The roller coaster accident. Where do we even start? Loss of hydraulic pressure would actually lock the shoulder bars in place as a failsafe. They then could be manually released with a pedal. Most coasters have backup restraint systems (such as a seatbelt) on top of the shoulder bar failsafe. A tiny video camera wouldn't even slow the train down, let alone knock off wheels and derail it. The train splitting in half would actually cause the coaster to slow down as it would suddenly have half the mass and momentum. Losing wheels would add even more drag. The end result would be the coaster either bottoming in a valley or locking up on a hill. This has happened in Real Life because a coaster went out too light (too few riders) or even because of excessive wind. The loops are designed so that a free-rolling coaster won't actually hang on them, but will roll backwards. Coasters have locked upside-down before and it's a very scary and uncomfortable experience, but ultimately the riders were all rescued. Coasters are specifically designed so that during normal travel, the G-forces would lock riders in place in their seats even in the event of total restraint failure. "Airtime" is mostly an illusion. Many coasters have multiple "blocks", with brakes separating them, so that if anything happens during the ride the other trains could be braked safely. And on top of all that, coasters have safety alarms; if hydraulic pressure started bleeding out, the ride would have immediately e-stopped. | |
