This article reads like crap and the English is pretty horrible. Examples: "Alex intervened her" "So Alex got skiped this time" "Carter was smooshed by the sign."

The tenses bounce around, grammar is violated, and I've got no idea what a quarter of the sentences are supposed to say. The wording needs to be redone in a more professional manner.

I added more to the death section and edited it to look more like the death sections in the other FD movies. Jay 01:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Why is someone costantly taking down the death sections for the Final Destination pages? I work hard on those. Jay 13:43, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. 68.254.180.104 16:18, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I at least would like know WHY it is taken down. Jay 01:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Just trying to read this article gives me a headache.

I wish people wouldn't stuff in parts that are like "this wouldn't happen becuase logically...". This is a movie, and Death couldn't care less about logic and science.220.237.16.234 00:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Contents 1 Sequel spoilers 2 Location 3 Recovers from death? Plus names. 4 Plot summary

[edit] Sequel spoilers

I would suggest that Alex and Clear's deaths not be referred to in the article for the _original_ movie, because that spoils the second movie. True, there's a "spoiler" warning, but presumably most readers will assume the warning pertains only to plot and/or ending details from the first movie. Fillard 04:55, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I changed it. Jay 00:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems to still be there, so I added this...

[edit] Location

Does anyone know where this movie takes place? I think it's in Long Island, NY.Thefreakshow 19:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is New York. crypto137 6:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recovers from death? Plus names.

I was reading this article and came upon the phrase "Alex intervenes and dies by electric shock, but soon recovers." Huh? I don't remember the film enough to correct that, so someone please... Does he die, or is he injured and recovers?

Also, wouldn't there be a better way of linking the character names to the famous film personalities? Like a section saying "several character names in this movie are a homage to famous past film personalities" and then naming then one by one. Right now they're just linked by their last name, not providing any explanation or anything, it's confusing IMO.

Finally, as someone stated earlier, this article needs a clean up, especially in the grammar department. I may be doing some of that myself if I find the time. Cheers!

Good question: Does Alex die? ... I think he did. The ending is getting pretty climactic, it looks like Clear is going to die in the car from either electrocution, this random wire flailing around, or an exploding propane tank. The FBI show up just in time to see Alex grab the wire long enough for Clear to get out of the garage before (I think it explodes...), and Alex is thrown out by the electrocution.

Anyway, it does appear Alex is dead, fade into white, but then it turns out he's all right and in Paris with Clear and that other guy. ... I think it does some explaining there, but I don't remember so much, and can't find the script from the movie. (To sum-up, Alex is nearly killed by a bus, and then Clear is almost killed by something else, but then other guy is killed by a sign that's swung down off a theatre.)

In a different version of the script Alex does die, and the movie ends with Clear giving birth to Alex' love-child. (Like that fake-plot they had in Final Destination 2; only new life can stop the cycle.) search for 'INT. DELIVERY ROOM - DAY - CLEAR' to read this ending.

[edit] Plot summary

I see no reason why the plot summary was so reduced. This isn't some porno with five minutes of backstory and then just random yet cool-looking deaths for two hours, it has a story. I'm gonna write a more detailed synopsis to replace a single paragraph of outline, which seems to have been the norm on this page for a long time. VolatileChemical 04:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I noticed this myself. The plot summary bassicaly is just a blurb of the beggining of the movie. FaithAquamarine16 00:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
