* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Tim and Nora exit the dentist's office, with Kimberly and Burke racing towards them, yelling at them to get away from the pigeons. Tim immediately sees a flock of pigeons, runs through them... and is crushed by a falling pane of glass. Really, people... the kid just had two near-death experiences. That said, he may have been chasing the pigeons away because he thought that were going to cause his death, not knowing he was causing them to do so.]]

* PornStash: Referenced.

* EyeScream: [[TemptingFate "Jesus Christ, I'm lucky!"]] [[spoiler: Just not lucky enough to avoid getting a fire escape to the eye.]]

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Inverted. Eugene [[spoiler:is tied with Clear as the last major character (not counting the kid at the end) to die]], while Isabella [[spoiler:was never in any danger at all]].

* {{Fanservice}}: A biker girl on the highway flashes Dano.

* ScaryBlackMan: Eugene is a perfect subversion. The first time we see him, we don't get to see his skin color, but he's completely [[Series/HowIMetYourMother motorsuited up]] and speeding recklessly. The second time, he removes his helmet to show the big black man, complete with facial hair, bling, and a bandanna around his head. But once the movie gets beyond the first disaster, we never see Eugene with his bike again, and always with glasses and a sweater with stand-up collar. He is by far the most scared about his impending doom and freaks out about it quite badly.

* TakeAMomentToCatchYourDeath: [[spoiler: Evan narrowly escapes an explosion in his apartment. In an effort to make the escape ladder drop, he trips but lands on his feet. Proclaiming his luck, he then slips on [[HoistByHisOwnPetard a pile of spaghetti he threw out the window earlier]], just as the ladder decides to fall. Amazingly it stops short right above his eye, giving him a moment to sigh in relief... [[EyeScream but only just a moment]].]]

* BusCrash: [[spoiler:Alex Browning]], whose death was not only off screen, but the most unexciting death in the series. Admittedly, however, since the actor playing him had walked out between the first and second films over payment issues, [[RealLifeWritesThePlot they had no choice but to kill him off]] without showing it, since a death hadn't been filmed.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Alex Browning]], whose death was not only off screen, but the most unexciting death in the series.

* DullSurprise: Kimberly didn't seem all that upset when [[spoiler: Rory was sliced up by wires]]. Yet the random civilians around her were shouting or screaming "OH MY GOD!"

* FinalGirl: Kimberly.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Kat Jennings.

* TakeAMomentToCatchYourDeath: Evan narrowly escapes an explosion in his apartment. In an effort to make the escape ladder drop, he trips but lands on his feet.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Inverted. Eugene dies [[spoiler:second-to-last together with Clear]], while Isabella [[spoiler:was never in any danger at all]].

* AscendedExtra: A meta example, as James Kirk (the actor playing Tim Carpenter) was an extra in Film/FinalDestination1 who was wearing the same jersey as Carter Horton.
* BloodyHilarious: [[spoiler:At the end, the two surviving characters are having a barbecue with a family they met earlier, when all of a sudden the mother mentions one of the victims having saved her son's life earlier in the film. As if on cue, the barbecue the son is checking on explodes, and his severed arm lands on the mom's plate. Roll credits.]]
* BrokenBird: Clear

* FinalGirl: Kimberly
* GrillingPyrotechnics: Used as a method of death and a final BOO scare.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe:[[spoiler:Rory.]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Kat Jennings
* InfantImmortality: The trope was ''supposed'' to be averted. [[spoiler:Tim]] was originally going to be a little kid but the director wanted to keep the movie "fun" and thus bumped up his age to 15 so we wouldn't be subjected to seeing a little kid [[spoiler:being splattered by a falling pane of glass]]. Although another younger kid is decapitated by an [[spoiler:exploding barbecue in the final scene]].
* OffWithHisHead: Nora Carpenter

* ScaryBlackMan: Eugene is a perfect subversion. The first time we see him, we don't get to see his skin color, but completely [[Series/HowIMetYourMother motorsuited up]] and speeding recklessly.

** Kim and Burke both count. The only leads in the series to be ''responsible'' for the deaths of others:
** Telling Tim about the previously mentioned pigeons.
** Burke telling Nora a man with hooks will kill her.
** Not remembering Isabella survived the vision, leading to Kat, Rory, Eugene, and Clear dying due to a wild goose chase.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Kimberly has the honor of being the only protagonist to escape death's list -- by killing herself and getting revived at a nearby hospital... but then eventually subverted: the DVD extras for the third movie reveal that she and Officer Burke were sucked into a wood chipper before the end of the third movie. It is supported by WordOfGod, and the third film does show a glimpse of them in a picture that implies that they died.]]

* ScaryBlackMan: Eugene is a perfect subversion of this. The first time we see him, we don't get to see his skin color, but completely [[Series/HowIMetYourMother motorsuited up]] and speeding recklessly.

* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Ket Jennings is a nervous workaholic who smokes even when on the treadmill. When she's stuck in her car due to some logs, she lights up a cigarillo as she's waiting to be rescued.

* TheProblemWithFightingDeath: Clear, who has survived by institutionalizing herself, admits that she hasn't actually won, just hidden so well that Death can't get to her at present. [[spoiler:She's dead in days once she goes outside.]]

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Clear]], and to a lesser extent, [[spoiler:Alex Browning]].
