Final Destination 3 (2006) - 21 mistakes

Continuity: At the tricentennial, Wendy, Kevin and Julie are right in front of Julie's friend that gets speared resulting in them being spattered with blood; but when they are talking about Ian causing Wendy's death, they have no blood on them or their clothes.

Deliberate "mistake": When Wendy snaps the photo of her sister as the guy is waving his hand in front of the camera she has already started the vision. But when she snaps back into reality and she has the camera in her hand, he is waving his hand as she is holding it but she never snaps the picture. Yet later that picture is among all the other picture clues.

Deliberate "mistake": There are a number of things wrong with the roller coaster scene (besides the obvious impossibility of a crash like this actually occurring): 1) The restraints use ratchets to lock, not hydraulics. A coaster of this type wouldn't even have any hydraulic lines. 2) No roller coaster has restraints that lower by themselves. 3) The attendants didn't check all the restraints. This is ALWAYS necessary, on ANY ride. 4) On any roller coaster, the Dispatch button (or "Start" in the movie) must be held down until the train is clear of the station. This is a safety feature to make sure the attendants are clear of the moving train. If the button is released before the train is clear of the station, it will stop. 5) At the bottom of the lift, the lift chain curves to follow the track into the station. This is impossible, a lift chain cannot curve horizontally, only vertically (normally at the top of the hill).

Continuity: At the end of the scene where Ashley and Ashlyn are burning in the tan beds, one of them looks out of the side of their tan bed. This is supposed to be Ashlyn, but she's facing the wrong way, which means she would have to be in the tanning bed she didn't get into to make this shot right.

Other: In the scene where Ashley and Ashlyn are at the tanning salon, it is pouring outside, yet they both are bone dry hair and all. I don't see either of them with an umbrella. Ashlyn used a notebook to cover their heads when they were talking to Wendy at school.

Continuity: In the scene where Kevin and Wendy are talking outside of the school, Kevin's hair change positions depending on the shot. At the same time, each time the shot goes back to Kevin, not only does his hair change, but the people behind him. It switches from Julie and Perry to random people, then back again.

Continuity: The position that Ian holds his nailgun changes between shots.

Continuity: When Ashley is panicking in the tanning salon, her ear piece keeps moving.

Continuity: When the owner of the tanning bed puts the suntan cream under the door, the door changes position between shots.

Plot hole: Why does Wendy have a camera for yearbook in the first place when yearbooks came out right after the accident? There wouldn't be enough time to get those pics into the yearbook.

Factual error: A cordless nailgun takes about 2 seconds to recharge and cannot fire consecutive nails nearly as fast as depicted.

Revealing: The roller coaster used for the Devil's Flight is really the Corkscrew at Playland in Vancouver, where all three movies were filmed. If you look during the opening credits, you can see the name "Corkscrew" up in the lights above the coaster. After this, it says Devil's Flight during the rest of the roller coaster scenes.

Other: During the tanning bed scene, the machine turns from 245 to 250 VAC twice.

Visible crew/equipment: When both Kevin And Wendy are looking at the pictures after the funeral, Kevin asks Wendy to look at Frankies picture. Kevin then turns the car a little to the left almost hitting the tow truck, seen in the metal bumper you can see the front of the camera truck.

Visible crew/equipment: In several shots during the weight room scene, a boom mic is reflected in the hanging swords.

Continuity: Wendy's hair in the cemetery scene changes between shots.

Plot hole: This mistake can only be appreciated if you allow Frankie to live on the 'Choose Their Fate' version of the film. Later on in the film, after Erin's death, Wendy and Kevin discover that if you intervene in one's death, then death skips on to the next person in line. However, surely Wendy and Kevin would have already realised this having saved Frankie from his death, hence death skipping on to Lewis.

Plot hole: When Wendy and Kevin are grabbing lunch, just before Frankie Cheeks dies, the guy asks to take their orders (via the microphone). Wendy and Kevin never reply throughout the rest of the scene, and they are at the restaurant for at least another 2-3 minutes (during the whole of Frankie's death sequence). The guy working at the restaurant must be extremely patient not to ask for their orders again.

Continuity: During the scene when Wendy is looking at her camera and Julie walks in to ask if its ready yet, you can see Wendy holding the paper with Ashley's number on it. Then when Julie walks out, Wendy turns and sees the paper on her desk, no where near her hand.

Factual error: The main character states that the photo plate of Lincoln has a crack in the precise location he was shot. Lincoln was shot behind his lower left ear and the bullet ended up behind his right temple. This is not the path shown in the picture.

Deliberate "mistake": During Wendy's roller-coaster premonition, you'll see a shot of Ian and Erin. The two girls behind Ian and Erin are supposed to be Julie and Perry, but are obviously stand-ins, considering they look nothing like the two actresses.
