* On a meta level, it's a bit of a bummer how these films have contaminated the mellow, folksy mood of Music/JohnDenver's music for so many people, who now associate his songs with Rube Goldberg-esque deaths rather than the beauty and pleasures of the open countryside.

** During the scene where the remaining survivors realize that the survivors of Flight 180 created a ripple effect that caused them to cheat death before, Kimberly recounts how her mother died.
--->'''Kimberly:''' About a year ago my mom and I were at the mall. I was supposed to meet her outside, but I got caught up watching this news report about some kid that committed suicide. I kept thinking, "How can you strangle yourself in the bathtub? That's stupid." It felt wrong. And yet... I heard some gunshots and I ran outside. Some kids were trying to steal my mom's car. She tried to fight them off, she was a fighter, and they killed her. After the funeral I kept thinking that it should have been me. I guess everyone must think that. But I guess I was right.

** For nearly every death in the series, imagine the world of heartbreak any of their loved ones immediately have [[AdultFear upon receiving the worst news imaginable]]: the death of their child, spouse, parent, sibling, relative, lover or friend.

** Wendy's realization that her younger sister is also on Death's list makes her even more pitiful, when she's already a strong contender for the biggest [[TheWoobie woobie]] in the series.

** While her early friends fell more into WeHardlyKnewYe, it's not hard to feel very sorry to Kimberly when she thought that when at least she averted the deaths of her friends, there was ''another'' vehicle that killed her friends, and since she was the one driving and parking her car in that exact location, it was partially her fault and she had to bear with the fact that she's the SoleSurvivor in her old circle. Her anguished screaming and sobbing on Thomas' embrace just sold the scene.

** Recalling to his very first premonition, Molly actually didn't die there. By not heeding Alex's warnings, Sam doomed Molly, which was why he was so devastated and entering HeroicBSOD; [[ItsAllMyFault he got Molly dead when she wasn't supposed to.]]

Small grammatical error.


* The construction workers who had worked on the bridge on ''Final Destination 5''. If any survived or at least part of the project they will probably feel very guilty as they will probably wondered if their work on the bridge was a factor on the disaster. You can even see one of the workers racing to help someone but the that person falls to their death before he can help him to up.

** Kevin is a bit of one himself, especially after it's revealed that he was planning to propose to his girlfriend Carrie, one of the people who didn't get off the roller coaster.
** While he's more of a JerkassWoobie, you can't help but feel kinda bad for Ian in ''Final Destination 3'', as well. The scream he lets out after [[spoiler:Erin's Death]] is as bloodcurdling as it is heart-wrenching.
