Quotes:

  • Billy Hitchcock: Carter, you dick!
     
  • Billy Hitchcock: There they go, here we stay. [As he watches the plane take off and then explode]
     
  • Carter: As far as I know, this s**t can circle around and get us all again. But for right now, I'm the safest f**ker in the world, because you're still NEXT.
     
  • Bludworth: There are no accidents, no coincidences, and no escapes.
     
  • Tod Waggner: We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we believe it's in a far and distant future. Not to have any connections with the day already began, or that death could arrive this same afternoon...
     

Trivia:

  • Another character named after a historic horror film maker is Larry Murnau, named after F.W. Murnau, director of the "first" Dracula film Nosferatu‚ eine Symphonie des Grauens
     
  • After the main characters are removed from the plane, Billy is only shot from the rear, showing the name on his jersey, that of suspense master Alfred Hitchcock.
     
  • Another reference to Hitchcock: the shot of the showerhead when Tod gets strangled. Identical to the Psycho shower murder.
     
  • The numerous appearances of '180' in the movie refer to the film's original title of 'Flight 180'. New Line decided to rename the film to Final Destination through fear of confusion of other movies like Air Force One or Con Air.
     
  • The neon sign that swings down and kills Carter at the end of the movie can be seen to read 180, which is the number of the Paris flight in the beginning of the movie.
