Final Destination

Revealing mistake: In the scene of Tod's death when we see the water leak creeping up toward him, if you look closely you can see the small holes in the tile grout where the water is being pumped up from below.

Revealing mistake: You can see the plane intact even though it has exploded. It stays complete, there's just fire around it. (00:18:55)

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Carter drives madly down the road to get to Alex, and Billy is riding his bike along the street, just before Billy gets knocked off you can clearly see it is a stunt double.

Revealing mistake: When Alex is running through the woods and is sliding down the hill, just before he stops himself from being impaled by some branches, you can hear someway say "Look out." It can't be the agents following as they're too far away.

Character mistake: At the memorial service the principal says that it's been 39 days since 39 loved ones had died. But there were 40 students on the plane and 4 chaperones, making the total 44. Now 7 people got off the plane, which means 37 people related to that memorial service actually died, not 39. Two pilots would make up the numbers, but there would be flight crew too, which still leaves the numbers off.

Question: On the back of the PAL DVD there is a picture of Alex holding back Clear from a car during the day. It looks to be at the place where Terry was killed. Does anyone know if this is a deleted scene not on the DVD? Also, on the commentary the makers of the film said that they shot the bus hit from inside the bus, as well as from the side. Does anyone know where these scenes are now?

Answer: The scene where Terry was killed was most likely shot during the day. It is quite common for film makers to film a scene during the day to get the right lighting effects and then later CGI the night sky and the proper shadowing. This is most effective when you have an area that would otherwise be too dark or have environment that wont allow for the proper lighting for a night shoot. As for the bus, your guess is as good as mine.
