Instantly Proven Wrong: Before the disaster begins, Janet asks Lori if it was safe to sit on a broken bench. Lori assures her that everything will be fine, as there is a safety fence in front of them. Cue the fence's screws slowly unscrewing themselves... | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: At least half the deaths from the film were spoiled in the commercials. Subverted with Janet, whom we all thought was going to get her face ripped off in the car wash. Likewise subverted with Lori getting crushed in the escalator gears. We do see that happen, but it turns out to be another premonition of Nick's. | |

All According to Plan: This film suggests that the premonitions throughout the series are sent by Death himself. Everyone who seemingly escaped from the disasters were actually meant to do it all along; Death just really enjoys playing with his prey. | |

Official Couple: Nick and Lori are the only lead couple in the series who are in a stable relationship throughout the entirety of their film. They get a Sickeningly Sweethearts moment in their first scene, live together and make decisions together, and each seems to care more about the other's survival than their own. | |

Stupid Sacrifice | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_442a6995 | comment |
Stupid Sacrifice: The original ending had Nick grab one of the flammable canisters in the mall, look around to see there were too many to remove...and jump out of the window with one to cause an explosion and set off an alarm. Wait, what? Why not just throw the canister out on its own? Doubly dumb due to the fact that Lori and Janet die moments later outside anyways. | |

Downer Ending: Although Nick, Lori, and Janet think they manage to escape Death when Nick stops the cinema disaster from happening, it turns out that Death is the one who gave Nick the premonitions. In other words, Death is just playing with them, and in the epilogue, he has had enough fun. Cue the truck crashing through the cafe. | |

Ground by Gears: After barely escaping an explosion in the mall, Lori is pulled into the exposed machinery of a broken escalator and is torn to shreds as Nick looks on. Of course, this turned out to be another premonition and he is able to prevent it. In an alternate scene, he ends up getting pulled in as well. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: In the premonition, the cowboy's death comes before Hunt and Janet were crushed by debris. However, in the "real world", the audience only learns that he's still alive after Hunt has already been killed, and after Lori and George had saved Janet from near-certain death in the car wash. Apparently, Death wasn't too strict about the order in which people died this time. It could be possible, though, that Janet survived slightly longer due to falling rubble not always being an instant death, and she died in the same explosion that killed George and Lori | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Nick pulls this in one of the alternate endings (although he could have thought it through some more). What makes it heroic is that he chooses to save everyone in the mall, not just the people he knows personally. Unfortunately, Death still gets Lori and Janet. | |

| Final Destination 4 / int_68f6e811 | comment |
Made of Plasticine: Most of the deaths featured downplay the durability of the human body, but the most egregious example is Andy Kewzer's death: Andy's death involves him getting launched into a diamond-link fence via a flying air tank, leaving him halfway impaled into the fence like a tomato in a veggie slicer. Despite being halfway impaled, we get a shot of a diamond-shaped chunk of his torso somehow falling out with no bones visible, as if his body was made of red velvet cake. | |

| Final Destination 4 / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: The deaths in this film are so over-the-top and ridiculous with many campy dialogues, not to mention Nick's infamous Dull Surprise throughout the entire film that it's as if the filmmakers have finally embraced the fact that the franchise really is camp on paper, whereas previous films have at least tried to be serious horror. Doubly surprising because the director of this film previously directed the second film, which many consider as the darkest (and most realistic) film in the series. | |

Continuity Nod | |

Continuity Nod: The opening sequence depicts the various deaths from the previous three films from the perspective of an X-ray camera. Early in the movie, shortly after the scene with the vision, news on TV are asking "Are amusement parks going the way of the dinosaurs?" The previous movie's accident couldn't have helped... The death of George, getting randomly hit by an ambulance, is recycled from the scene in the first film where a character is randomly hit by a bus. In this case, the victim talks about feeling deja vu. | |

Only Known by Their Nickname: The main characters all have their names mentioned in the credits, but secondary ones (Carter, Samantha, Andy, Jonathan, etc.) are only referred to by nicknames (Racist, MILF, Gearhead, and Cowboy, respectively). You'd have to go to the wiki for their proper names, or listen closely to the news broadcasts in the background of certain scenes. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Twice, corresponding to the Hope Spot mentioned above. Nick gets an epic one when he realizes that there is another survivor in Death's List before Janet/Hunt. And again, this time Nick, Lori, and Janet, when Nick reveals that Death is just playing them off. | |

Oddly Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_b18aeb20 | comment |
Oddly Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo: After two numerical sequels, the fourth film is called The Final Destination, then the fifth one is just Final Destination 5. The Final Destination is, however, referred to as Final Destination 4 at the end of part 5. | |

Hypocritical Humor: The guy who yells at the rock-throwing boys for being stupid: never mind how he's smoking while filling his lawn mower with gasoline. | |

Blood from the Mouth | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_b8dbe475 | comment |
Blood from the Mouth: Lori's death is in a way caused by this; her leg getting crushed by escalator gears somehow causes her to spit up a large amount of blood onto her arm, which the main character is holding on to. As he slips, more and more of her body is dragged in, and eventually she either dies or passes out from the trauma, whereupon she quickly gets minced by the mechanism. | |

Prophecy Armor | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_ba433104 | comment |
Prophecy Armor: George Lanter discovers, much to his despair, that Death's game is played by Its rules alone. He decides to kill himself to try to appease Death (because as he sees it, what is the point of keeping on fighting?), only for his every attempt (as he mentions: overdosing, gunshot, hanging, trying to choke with his car's fumes) to just not work. | |

Dull Surprise: Bobby Campo's default facial expression throughout the film. Even when he's impaled in his premonition. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Twice, no less. The gang thinks that by saving Janet and George from their respective deaths, they have managed to cheat Death. Thus, Nick and Lori decide to take a vacation, but the latter wants to watch a movie first with Janet. However, Nick realizes that there is another survivor in the stadium collapse who is in Death's List before Janet/Hunt: the Cowboy, but because he didn't go with Nick outside in the stadium, he is still injured all the same. Nick and George fail to save him, and George abruptly dies from being hit by an ambulance. Followed by the cinema disaster....(which turns out to be another premonition). After preventing the cinema disaster, Nick, Lori, and Janet think that Death may has finally skipped them from Death's List, hence they celebrate their survival in a cafe weeks afterward. Yet Nick realizes that it may have been very well that Death is the one who gave him the premonitions, and they are never safe to begin with. Followed by the speeding truck... | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The pool death was probably based on Abigail Taylor, though she didn't die from the event itself. While exaggerated, the opening disaster at the race track bears a few similarities to the 1955 Le Mans disaster, in which a minor accident caused the driver to lose control and crash into the grandstand, causing the vehicle to explode and sending flaming debris into the stands, some of which actually decapitated the spectators. | |

Death by Racism | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_ebec7ff5 | comment |
Death by Racism: The first victim is a redneck named Carter Daniels who has NO compunctions whatsoever about calling African Americans "the N-word". (His character is actually listed as "Racist" in the end-credits.) He is given a spectacularly hilarious and humiliating end when he tried to burn a cross KKK-style in front of the black lead's house; his tow truck, dragging his burning and screaming carcass, twists the knife by playing War's anti-racism tract "Why Can't We Be Friends?" on the radio before it spectacularly explodes. The kicker? Dragging a black man from a car is a known (if uncommon) method of lynching, as seen with the murder of James Byrd, Jr. In other words, the guy got lynched. | |

Surprisingly Sudden Death | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_f12c6fb1 | comment |
The death of George, getting randomly hit by an ambulance, is recycled from the scene in the first film where a character is randomly hit by a bus. In this case, the victim talks about feeling deja vu. | |

Series Fauxnale | |
| Final Destination 4 / int_f9c3ecc6 | comment |
Series Fauxnale: This was supposed to be the last film of the series, as in The Final Destination, but as it became highest grossing entry (to date), another film was produced. However, in terms of in-universe chronology, The Final Destination is technically the latest set of events as Final Destination 5 reveals itself to be a prequel to the first film. | |
