Continuity mistake: When Evan is coming home to his flat, look at the marbles near the toy ambulance. When the camera pans over it and later when Evan steps on one, their positions are different.

Ronnie Bischof

Continuity mistake: When the logs fall off from the truck trailer bed you can see there are no other cars on the highway, apart from the victims', and when it changes to the next shot during the scene there are the same amount of cars on the road as there were before the logs fell off.

Revealing mistake: When Kim's in the car explaining her premonition, she turns on the radio and the time is 8:24. When Officer Burke approaches the car, it's only a few minutes later. But later when Officer Burke, Kim, and Clear are checking the tape to identify Isabella's license plate, the time on the tape says 9:12.

Continuity mistake: When Kat is trapped in her car by the log, she pulls out a cigarette and starts smoking. When the worker tries to pry off the door, she says "Could you put it on quiet mode?" and turns away, her cigarette looks completely new. But then five seconds later after her airbag goes off and kills her, her hand drops to the side of the car, but her cigarette is considerably shorter (about half it's length) than it was five second ago. Surely she wasn't able to smoke it all in the amount of time that progressed?

Continuity mistake: During the premonition where the Mustang flips and lands next to the log where the motorcyclist is lying; he is parallel to the road facing oncoming traffic, yet he gets T-boned by the big truck when he should have gotten hit head on.

EMTurbo

Factual error: The cop has a badge, but New York State Police don't wear badges. (There is an official badge, they just don't wear it on their uniform).

Low Cow

Continuity mistake: During the premonition when the girl on the chopper shows her boobs, the guy on the left gives the joint to the other one, however in the next shot, he is holding it again.

Ronnie Bischof

Continuity mistake: During the premonition where the Mustang flips you can see the left rear wheel center cap disappear and reappear.

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: Look at the newspaper photo of Clear before she committed herself - she has relatively dark hair. Definately not a natural blonde. Yet current Clear has much, much lighter blonde hair. We saw that she was blonde at the end of Final Destination - yet, her darker roots aren't particularly prominent, showing that during her time in the institution she must have bleached her hair at least once. For someone who's paranoid about death, she sure doesn't seem to care about the potentially acidic effect of having peroxide on her head. [Someone asks this in the commentary on the DVD, and the response is "she was a natural blonde, she dyed her hair brown in the first movie." This stands up, as it explains why there were no brown roots at the end of the first movie.]

Phoebe

Visible crew/equipment: In the highway crash at the beginning you can see one stunt driver wearing a helmet. You can also see, that several cars, that flip over, have a kind of safety cage to protect the driver.

Continuity mistake: After Evan turns on the stove, the camera switches shots and the flame is gone, then the shot switches, and it is back again.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, when Kimberly has the pile-up premonition, her red truck flips over a few times; watch closely and you will see that in some shots there's no one in it.

Other mistake: Kat is trapped by the log and the car door is closed. When she drops the cigarette it looks as if the door is off, and she could get out.

Continuity mistake: During the beginning, the main character tunes a radio to 104.9 to hear the announcement about the vigil. When she tries the radio again after seeing her death, she tunes to 98.9. The same audio plays.

Visible crew/equipment: After the accident at the farm happens, the pregnant woman and the cop drive off and we the side of the white van. The camera is reflected in it before the shot dissolves into the smoke.

Other mistake: When Kimberly gets in the ambulance at the hospital to drive it into the lake she shifts it upward instead of downward to go from park to reverse.

Visible crew/equipment: When Kimberly, Clear and officer Burke are going to the cemetery to visit William, a crew member and camera are reflected on the front of the car.

Kevin Brown

Visible crew/equipment: When Evan is going down the ladder, once he falls off and looks up there's a person on top of the roof controlling the ladder movements. When he's lying on the ground and looking up for the second time, the person is gone.

Suggested correction: There is no person on top. At all.

Visible crew/equipment: Officer Burke is peeping through Kimberly's house. Just as Kimberly is pulling up, when the camera shows her getting out of the car, look closely at the window. You will see a reflection of 2 crew members - 1 standing next to the officer and another one at the end of the house. A camera is seen inside the house too.

Kevin Brown

Clear Rivers: Look, we drove a long way to get here, so if you happen to know how to stop Death, it would be really great if you told us.
William Bludworth: You can't cheat Death. There are no escapes.
Clear Rivers: Bullshit! You told me Death has a distinct design. But Alex and I cheated Death, not once but dozens of times. The design is flawed, it can be beaten.
William Bludworth: Such fire in you now. People are always most alive just before they die. Don't you think?

More quotes from Final Destination 2

Trivia: When Kimberly blocks the off ramp she sees a road works sign reading 'Next 180 feet'. The car crash at the farm occurs next to the 180 marker (according to the cop reporting it). These are both references to Flight 180, the plane that crashed in FD1.

Question: In the dentist office scene, Tim almost chokes to death when the toy puffer fish falls into his mouth, but the nurse saves him by pulling it out. Nora should be next, but Tim gets crushed by the glass pane anyway. This is a major mistake on death's list.

M0vi3

Chosen answer: No it simply means that Tim was not supposed to die by the puffer fish. He was meant to be saved so that he could die later. The movie shows multiple instances where someone almost dies, but at the last second is saved. It's a common way to build suspense.
