FILM 1712: FINAL DESTINATION
TRIVIA: The story was originally
the concept for an abandoned The X-Files (1993) television script, which was partially
inspired on the main plot of Sole Survivor (1983).
(at around 4 mins) The shot of
Alex's bedside clock, which fades in from 1.00am to 180, took 5 days to get
correct.
(at around 4 mins) In the opening
scene, Devon Sawa (Alex) was supposed to pretend to be asleep.
He actually fell asleep for four hours.
Much of the news footage shown is
actual footage from the July 1996 explosion and crash of TWA Flight 800 off
East Moriches, Long Island, New York.
Kerr Smith and Seann William Scott took
travel sickness pills (Dramamine) before each plane crash take and were half
asleep and very weak during the shots - that's why they aren't shown close-up much.
Clear's cabin was also the cabin
from Lake
Placid (1999).
The original casting choices for
Alex and Clear were Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Both
of them would later start in Spider-Man 2 (2004) years later as Spider man and Mary
Jane respectively.
The Chinese title translates as
"The Death God Comes".
(at around 31 mins) The speech that
Tod gives at the funeral is a quote from Marcel Proust.
(at around 3 mins) In Alex's room,
you can see a poster for Edward Furlong's movie Pecker (1998)
which also has Christina Ricci in it. Devon Sawa was
in both Casper (1995) and Now and Then (1995)
with Christina Ricci.
