* {{Gorn}}: Some of the fans seem to like the characters getting killed off a little ''too'' much. Then again, later sequels show that blood and guts seem to be the point of the series now. While this is true of Part 3 and 4, the gore level is toned down a bit in Part 5. The ''Final Destination 2'' DVD even has a feature that allows you to interrupt the film at every death and view a brief vignette on how the effects were accomplished.

* HappyEndingOverride: It's a splatter film series [[spoiler: where every movie ends with a DownerEnding in which Death gruesomely murders the protagonists, usually after a fake-out happy ending. The two leads of ''Film/FinalDestination2'' are the only ones to get an unambiguous happy ending, as being killed and then revived in time seems to get them off of Death's list. And yet deleted scenes from [[Film/FinalDestination3 the third movie]] show newspaper clippings revealing that they died in a freak accident sometime in between movies]].

[[note]]Then again, it ''is'' a deleted scene after all, so there's a chance it is not canon and Kimberly and Burke are safe after all.[[/note]]

Corrected Kimberly's last name


* ''Film/FinalDestination2'' (2003) -- On the first anniversary of the Flight 180 explosion, college student Kimberly Coleman receives a premonition that saves her and seven other people from dying in a pileup occurring on Route 23, which claims the lives of Kim's three friends. Subsequently, the eight start to die one by one, but in a twist, their death order is reversed from what Kim saw in her premonition. Teaming up with cop Thomas Burke plus Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers, Kim races to save the remaining survivors through a cryptic piece of advice by William Bludworth, who says that Death can only be defeated by "a new life." In addition to the return of Ali Larter and Tony Todd, the film stars Creator/AJCook, Creator/MichaelLandes, Creator/DavidPaetkau, James Kirk, Lynda Boyd, Creator/KeeganConnorTracy, Jonathan Cherry, T.C. Carson, and Creator/JustinaMachado. It was directed by David R. Ellis and written by J. Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress.

Disambiguated.


* DaylightHorror: To drive home the point that death waits for nobody and could strike at any moment, a lot of the deaths occur during the middle of the day, when the characters are doing mundane activities. The disaster that open each movie even alternates between night and day, with those of 2, 4 and 5 ([[spoiler:a prequel to 1, meaning it still fits the pattern]]) taking place during the day.
