Asian Hooker Stereotype | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_1343f8a1 | comment |
Asian Hooker Stereotype: When company sleazeball Isaac enters an Asian massage parlor, it's blatantly obvious that he tries to invoke this in the douchebaggiest way possible by harassing the receptionist, complete with inquiring if there will be a "happy ending". When the girl makes it clear that the place isn't a brothel, he still doesn't take the hint. He gets duly rewarded when the girl sets him up for an exceptionally rough massage performed by her much older mother. | |

| Final Destination 5 / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: Subverted and played straight; some fans thought the trailers spoiled everything. For the most part, some of the implied deaths scene spoilers weren't the actual deaths. Except for Olivia's and Dennis'. | |

| Final Destination 5 / int_146f4e0 | comment |
Blind Without 'Em: Olivia is extremely nearsighted and her Establishing Character Moment has her bitching about her glasses. One of the reasons she was supposed to die in the bridge collapse is that she lost her glasses while running from the spreading hole. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The film is the darkest in the series so far (surpassing the second, even), mainly because it has a serious plot involving murder as a sure way to cheat yourself off of death, whereas previous films have the protagonists not even considering it in the slightest (except for Ian's brief scuffle in the third film, and that is just a possibility). Then there's also The Reveal where Sam and Molly are revealed to be passengers of Flight 180, which means they were doomed from the start anyway, even without cheating Death, making this a very sad case of Shoot the Shaggy Dog. | |

| Final Destination 5 / int_19102429 | comment |
Twist Ending: Final Destination 5 turns out to be a prequel to the other four films, ending with Sam and Molly being killed on Flight 180. To make things worse the plane's landing gear crashes through Roy's memorial and crushes the final survivor (Nathan) to death. | |

Anachronism Stew: Averted- While The '90s is not so glaringly obvious, the absence of high-end laptops and i-devices should clue in anyone who is not too caught up in the violence to notice such details. And then there's The Stinger ending to drive the point home. The producers were even careful enough to use music from the era such as "I Will Buy You A New Life" by Everclear. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Peter tells his friends how he had the opportunity to kill random persons on the street, without any repercussion, stealing their remaining lifetime, but he refrained from doing so, because he couldn't see a reason for them deserving to die. His friends are much relieved. For a very short time, though (see the Wham Line below). | |

Face Death with Dignity: Though he understandably remains a little on edge the whole time, Sam nevertheless decides that he's not going to go out of his way to avoid Death when the other survivors have clearly died in severely improbable locales. If he's going to die, it's unlikely any effort he takes to the contrary will help. | |

Energy Weapon | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_4536fd29 | comment |
Energy Weapon: The LASIK machine shown above has a display that shows the power of the laser to be 5 milliwatts. In reality, a 5 mW laser has only the potential to damage the retina (and no other structure of the body) if a person stares into its beam long enough. In the movie, instead, it is depicted as being capable to burn the cornea, sclera and skin tissues instantly, it makes a classic zap sound and the beam it emits is visible and glowy. However, the display only says not to exceed 5 mW; the actual power of the laser is shown to be much higher, going far beyond 5 mW, and with the system malfunctioning out of control and the camera never cutting back to the display we don't know the actual wattage of the laser and it's entirely possible it's in the watts range allowing it to damage tissue. That being said it is also the wrong type of laser: a continuous red beam, instead of the pulsed ultraviolet laser that is actually used in LASIK operations. | |

Wham Shot: At the end, Sam and Molly board a plane to Paris. Seems like a reference to the first film, right? When Sam puts his bags away, he hears a commotion behind him. He turns around, and we see Alex and Carter from the first film fighting and being thrown off the plane. That's right, the entire film was a prequel. Sam and Molly blow it off, and take their seats, sealing their fates (alongside Nathan's). | |

Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_55ea5620 | comment |
Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel: Despite technically adhering to 2000 period details, the technology and fashion used in the film are still noticeably more streamlined and modern-looking than that of the original film (e.g. flat computer monitors, chrome cell phones, fitted suits). This is meta justified by the fact that this was intentionally invoked to pass the film off as being set in 2011 until The Reveal. | |

Revival Loophole: The remaining survivors are told they can kill another human being to save themselves, since they'd be taking their victim's life - untainted by Death - and giving them their death, Balancing Death's Books.

Asshole Victim | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Isaac, who is such a ridiculous and blatant sleaze that his death is almost played for laughs. Also Dennis and Olivia. Downplayed somewhat with Olivia as while she is a bitch, she's still likeable to viewers. Flat out subverted with Roy, who is post-mortem revealed to have an abnormal blood vessel which could be affecting his behavior and would kill him eventually. | |

Ignored Epiphany: Sam dismisses Alex from the first movie having his freakout on the plane he's on out of hand in the last scene, not realising until it's too late that it's another premonition, meaning the plane's in danger. | |

Karmic Death | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Issac doesn't turn off his phone at the massage parlour despite the sign, so when it goes off it vibrates and pushes the candle off the shelf, starting the fire. That doesn't kill him, though. It's the Budai statue that kills him, the one he had mocked earlier. | |

After Peter draws a gun, Sam and Molly both escape to the kitchen. Peter pursues and running chase/battle ensues. | |

Continuity Nod: A photo of a character standing next to Car #6 from Part 4, A roller coaster photo from Devil's Flight from Part 3, A character working at Le Cafe Miro 81 from Part 1, as well as the lingering shot on the cafe sign—081 is 180 backwards. The truck carrying wood is a twofer - the second movie had one setting off the highway pileup, and the company name is Tagert Logging while the ending of the fourth movie was in Tagert Cinema (and 'Tagert' is an acronym for 'target'); The opening disaster from Part 1 ending the film. The opening credits. To be specific; The credits feature various objects that caused the deaths and disasters in the film series. Example a set of knives that caused Ms. Lewton's death in Part 1, the tire that decapitated Nadia from Part 4, the fire escape ladder from Part 2, pieces of the Devil's Flight derailment from Part 3 and so on. | |

Eye Scream | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_a2b38d3b | comment |
A rather brilliant inversion: The teddy bear Olivia is gripping as she is getting set up in the LASIK machine has an eye fall out, which foreshadows the inevitable Eye Scream to follow. However, the eye actually ends up causing her death. When she gets free of the LASIK machine, she accidentally steps the heel of her stiletto boot exactly on the eye. She trips backs, crashes through a window, and falls to her death. | |

Oh, Crap!: Isaac's reaction to the alcohol on the floor catching fire. The look on Sam's face when he overhears the attendant on Flight 180 writing off Alex Browning's vision of the plane going down. Alex was right. Nathan has a more subdued one upon learning that Roy, the coworker he accidentally killed and got his life span as a result, had an enlarged blood vessel in his brain, and would've died of an aneurysm "any day now." And not even 5 seconds after learning this, he's crushed by the landing gear from Flight 180 exploding. | |

Hope Spot | |

Hope Spot: Olivia manages to get out of the head clutch of a malfunctioning LASIK machine as the main characters and doctors run in to help. Her eye is fried, but there is no apparent danger to her...but then she takes a step onto a glass eye of a teddy bear that she was holding during the procedure for comfort, that had been ripped off accidentally and fallen near a large window. She trips on it, and the rest is history. They do a similar dance with Isaac, who is skewered by acupuncture needles and then nearly burned alive, but manages to get himself into a relatively safe position. Just as he starts to relax, a Buddha statue falls on his head. | |

Just Plane Wrong: During the finale, a flight attendant walks down the aisle to secure an open overhead storage compartment. While this alone isn't too out of the ordinary, the fact they remain standing to converse with a passenger afterwards is something that probably wouldn't be allowed, especially because the plane was still climbing at the time, which is generally a bad time to be moving about the cabin. | |

Red Herring | |
| Final Destination 5 / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: During the setup of the Disaster Dominoes that will result in Candice's death, a lot of emphasis is placed upon 1) a screw on a balance beam, 2) loose rotating metal fans, one of which dropped that screw, 3) water surrounding an electrical wire, which was dripped from the fan, and 4) the loose horizontal bar that another student was using, nearby the fan. Turns out someone else steps on the screw afterwards and accidentally knocks over a pail of white powder, which then obscures Candice's vision while she's trying to land from the horizontal bar, and she dies falling down. A rather brilliant inversion: The teddy bear Olivia is gripping as she is getting set up in the LASIK machine has an eye fall out, which foreshadows the inevitable Eye Scream to follow. However, the eye actually ends up causing her death. When she gets free of the LASIK machine, she accidentally steps the heel of her stiletto boot exactly on the eye. She trips backs, crashes through a window, and falls to her death. During Sam and Peter's fight in the kitchen, Peter's gun lands into an active stove, which causes the gun to slowly heat up. There was even more emphasis on the gun as it's heating up from the stove to make it look like it'll dischage on Peter. It does, but Sam kills Peter and the bullet doesn't come near Sam. | |

Shown Their Work: The opening disaster is actually a fairly realistic portrayal of a suspension bridge collapse. Structural engineer Alex Weinberg, writing about how such collapses are usually portrayed (inaccurately) in film, noted with some disbelief that the most accurate one he'd ever seen "somehow comes from a film franchise in which people regularly get cut in half by errant kites." | |
