** [[spoiler: Lewis]] also seems to want to be in control of his own life and disregards death. Made incredibly evident with his final words. Before that, he is also incredibly dismissive of Wendy's premonition and is insistent that he was the one responsible for saving himself. He was given a false assurance of victory in a sense, that he just cheated death with the swords. In fact, if [[spoiler: Lewis just stopped and didn't pick up the weights one last time, he would've lived.]] Yet [[spoiler: Lewis]] wanted to rub it in further to prove his control over his life. So the fact that he is the one who accidentally kills himself with the weights seems to be a twisted way in which Death grants him that wish.

Fridge Page for Final Destination 3 as I think there are fun details about the film which can be discussed, especially considering the fountain load of foreshadowing that went into each death.

*Why are Wendy and Kevin wearing Sultan Scimeter merch after Lewis's death when that must be incredibly inappropriate? Because their clothes were splattered by the blood and the club must've given them replacements to wear after the investigation. The fact they have bloody clothes in a plastic bag only serves this point.
!!FridgeBrilliance
*The details of the photographs which foreshadow how each of the characters will die but also where and how they will die.
*Not only are both [[spoiler: Ashley and Ashlyn]] oversaturated and look like they are burning in a fire in their picture but they are also holding a palm tree together. The logo of the Phoneix Tanning Salon.
**The names too. Both [[spoiler: Ashley and Ashlyn can be shorted to Ash]] and them meeting their ends at ''Phoneix'' Tanning. Phoenix is a mythical bird associated with fire and rebirth.
**The fact they are also together when this photo is taken also alludes to the fact they are supposed to die together. Much like [[spoiler: Erin and Ian]] who are also in the same picture together.
**An obvious one but Wendy's saying, "I'm sorry I'm too late." She is referring to the fact she was too late to respond and join them at the salon, but also to save them. but it also serves as a double-meaning conversation. After their funeral, Wendy mentions she called to even keep them both from going after seeing their picture. Doubles as a {{Tearjearker}}
*Pairs with Fridge Horror, but [[spoiler: Frankie's death]] is definitely this. It makes perfect sense his clue was in the upskirting photo Kevin took rather than the one on his own. [[spoiler: Frankie is usually always seen perving around girls like Ashley and Ashlyn, and he even hid his own camera on the rollercoaster. It's also notable the fact Kevin took the picture as well.]] During the Rollercoaster ride, [[spoiler: Frankie cuts in front of Wendy and Kevin and had some words with Kevin about it.]] As the runaway truck is coming down the hill. Kevin desperately beeps his horn and tries to get [[spoiler: Frankie to move, just like he did on the rollercoaster. However, Frankie's refusal to budge or move is what leads to his death.]] And the fact it was [[spoiler: Kevin's car engine which took Frankie]] out in the end really seals it.
*Additionally, while it seems like Kevin and Wendy are in danger from the runaway truck and escape. It makes sense that they are even at a perceived threat from Death at that point, even though [[spoiler: Frankie]] is the one that is next. And that was because they were originally supposed to be next after [[spoiler: Ashley and Ashlyn until Frankie]] took their seats from them and they had to move into the back, where they were the last victims of the rollercoaster to die.
*[[spoiler: Lewis's death. At the start of the film, Lewis]] is the one responsible for slamming the top of the head off from the Test Your Strength game. There are also a lot of details towards his death. Such as the [[spoiler: Sultan's Scimitars, which are not only the symbol of his team but also hang over [[spoiler: Lewis when he is working out, but are not what actually kills him. That makes sense since in the picture clue it is only nearby Lewis]]. It and the stuffed bear (the symbol of the rival team) are just part of the chain reactions that will cause it. [[spoiler: It's the weight that will kill Lewis and it is Lewis himself who is the direct cause of it.]]
*Ian holding the gun near Erin's face in the picture. Some tropers have already mentioned that Ian possibly modified the nail gun and pointed out he was the one who loaded it to kill some pigeons and [[spoiler: while he doesn't kill Erin directly, his negligence towards the nail gun is.]]
*Ian [[spoiler: original death was dying by something falling above him. In the hardware shop this was with pointy fence posts, and in the climax, he dies when a [=McKinley=] sign falls right on top of him. Ian was in an earlier scene in the film bemoaning his surname and, before his death, Ian was mocking Wendy that she was next on Death's list because it had skipped him. You can notice the wind blowing (a constant sign of Death) and the fireworks moving to fire. Ian thinks he's in the clear and that it's Wendy who's going to die. Cue the sign falling down. DoNotTauntCthullu indeed. Death probably prioritised Ian after hearing his [[SmiteMeOMightySmiter declaration]]. Because as this franchise has already demonstrated, Death is sadistic and unforgiving and took Ian's boost that he ain't dying as a personal challenge.]]
*[[spoiler Julie's lucky charm bracelet.]] Guess it really is lucky, considering it is what Wendy uses to identify the mystery people sitting in front of them and let's [[spoiler: Wendy and Kevin save her life.]]

*Wendy describes Death as a constant presence stalking her. A common motif in the movie is the song "Turn Around and Look at Me", with the lyric "there is someone walking behind you", a line which often tips Wendy off that someone is about to die on multiple occasions.
