Trivia:

One of the first times that the director and DVD team collaborated from inception to DVD release. Film was shot with the DVD interactive features in mind so many scenes were filmed several times with varying outcomes.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Rollercoaster Seat Restraints do not work with hydraulic fluid. They work with pressurized air to enable fast release in case of an emergency. The moment the braces shut, the computer checks for irregularities in the locking system prior to clearance.

I thought i was in for a disappointment. I was wrong .........

I'm not gonna lie to ya, i wasn't looking forward to final destination 3.Just seeing a roller coaster full of screaming people on the poster made me roll my eyes and assume that this franchise has run out of steam .

So you can imagine my surprise to find that final destination 3 is a entertaining , funny and shocking thriller that proves that horror sequels can be pretty darn good if handled properly .

Directed by james wong with style and a pace that hits the ground running ,the film is very much like a roller coaster in its self - fast,packed full of laughs and most importantly full of frights .

The film is essentially a remake of the first film only with a different cast, gorier deaths and a higher level of self awareness.But this is a rare case in which copying the original isn't a bad thing- it keeps that sense of inventiveness and wit that made the first one great. It may be a clone , but its a very good one !

Final destination 3 is gory ,homourous and clever fun that will make me think twice about my horror sequel prejudice....
