FILM 2329: FINAL DESTINATION 3 (2006)

TRIVIA: (at around 45 mins) 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 on the highway in Final Destination 2 (2003).

The scenes shot in the home improvement store were mostly shot in an actual store. They were only allowed to film after the store was closed and had to leave the store the exact way they found it. While different parts of the scene were being filmed, other crew members were often putting objects back on the shelves. In addition, they had to turn objects around to hide brand names, bring in other brand names, and put things in the way to block names from appearing due to the store not wanting their name or products being associated with a "teen death film."

The ending was reshot, reportedly because of unfavorable reactions at preview screenings. This also happened with the previous two films in the series.

In Japan, the film is renamed "Final Deadcoaster".

Like the first two films in the series, the names of several characters are references to horror film makers. The characters "Wendy and Julie Christensen" are named after Benjamin Christensen, director of Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1922); the character "Erin Ulmer" is named after Edgar G. Ulmer; the character "Lewis Romero" is an homage to the horror directors Herschell Gordon Lewis and George A. Romero; the character "Jason Robert Wise" is a reference to Robert Wise, director of The Haunting(1963); the character "Carrie Dreyer" is named after Carl Theodor Dreyer, director of Vampyr (1932); the character "Ashley Freund" is an homage to cinematographer/director Karl Freund and the character "Ashlyn Halperin" is named after Victor Halperin, director of White Zombie (1932).
