Final Destination 5 Plane Ticket Continuity

Edit

Anachronisms

A 2009 Volkswagen Jetta can be seen on the bridge; the film is set in 2000.

Character error

The news reporter says that there were eight employee bus survivors and 17 employees who died on that bus. When Isaac goes to the washroom, 19 employees are seen.

Continuity

(at around 12 mins) The construction worker's water jug falls through the hole in the bridge. But in the scene before it, the water jug isn't visible on the concrete barrier it fell from.

(at around 32 mins) During the gymnastics scene, there's a girl doing a routine on the uneven bars. There's a thick blue pad that she dismounts onto and an orange mat next to it. A few minutes later when Candice is doing her uneven bar routine the blue pad and orange mat are gone.

(at around 15 mins) During the bridge collapse, there is a gap between two rail pipes that Molly and Olivia try to cross. When Olivia attempts to cross the two railings following Molly, she is seen on the first railing crawling and looking at Molly reaching for her. In the exact next screen shot, Olivia is seen on the second railing reaching or Molly, then falls.

Errors in geography

(at around 11 mins) The bridge and scenery is not that of any in New York, but the Lionsgate Bridge in Vancouver, BC.

As the bus approaches the bridge, an orange Canadian roadwork sign can be seen, which gives a distance in meters. U.S. road signs generally do not give metric distances (i.e. meters), but ones in Canada, where this movie was filmed, do.

Factual errors

(at around 1h 18 mins) In the kitchen there are two large bottles for the fire suppression system on the wall. When Peter shoots one of the bottles, gas comes spraying out. Restaurant systems do not use gaseous suppression agents, they use either liquid/foam or dry chemical agents. Because in principle they rely on displacing enough oxygen in the room to starve the fire, gas systems are ineffective against "localized" grease fires - in addition to being potentially lethal to anyone in the room when discharge occurs. They are only used in areas where fires would be electrical in nature and dry chemicals or foams would cause collateral damage to sensitive equipment (such as computer rooms).

(at around 1h) The LASIK machine would be unable to produce a beam powerful enough to cause the amount of burning shown due to its power limitations.

During the premonition, Isaac is seeing falling and tumbling over the seats as the bus is plummeting towards the river. This is impossible as they would both be falling at the same time and speed. Isaac would be floating "weightless" at the back of the bus until it hit the surface of the water.

During the premonition, Olivia falls from the bridge to the water below and immediately surfaces, seemingly unharmed. Hitting water from this height would be like hitting concrete, which is usually fatal, and would result in serious injuries or death.

(At around 1 hr 22 mins) The plane to Paris is shown as a Boeing 747, which is a wide body plane typically with 2 aisles and as many as 9 or more seats per row. However, the interior shots of the plane show a single aisle configuration with the typical 6 seats per row used in smaller commercial planes.

Miscellaneous

Bludworth is shown to be a coroner in this film, an employee of the county or state who works in investigating how people died. A couple weeks later, when the events of Final Destination (2000) take place, he's an undertaker (prepares dead bodies for funerals and handles cremation) who's far enough into that field as to own and run his own funeral home.

After Issac dies, Sam asks the coroner why he is following him. He says that he has seen this before, however, the first time this character is seen is when Claire speaks to him in the morgue. If this movie takes places before the plane crash from the first movie, then there would either be another disaster that happened before the plane, or the timeline doesn't add up.

Spoilers

The goof items below may give away important plot points.

Anachronisms

During the gymnastics scene, there is a vaulting table in the background. The film is set in 2000, when the old vaulting horse would have still been in use. The vaulting table wasn't used in NCAA gymnastics until the 2002-2003 season.

Factual errors

(at around 51 mins) Although heavy and high up, the Buddha that fell on Isaac's head may have had enough force to crush his skull but not enough to completely flatten his head and it would not shear and sever the arteries and skin of his neck.

(at around 83 mins) External shots show a Boeing 747, a wide bodied twin aisle passenger jet. Internally, Sam and Molly are at the back of a smaller, single aisle passenger jet with a 3-3 configuration. They are sitting in row 23, one row before the back of the aircraft. The back rows of any 747 can number as high as the 70s, with a 2-4-2 configuration at the very rear. Sam's assigned 23J seat (as seen on his boarding pass) would be in another area on the plane.

Miscellaneous

The spanner/wrench that killed Dennis changed from a shiny combination type (open-ended one end, 12-sided ring the other) to a matte black box type, between the time it fell into the running belt sander and flying through the air to the shot of it embedded across, and into, his forehead when lying dead on the ground.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

At approximately 0:40:00, Isaac is shown snooping through the personal items that remain at his deceased co-worker's desk drawer. Isaac finds a gift certificate for Ming Yun Spa. The gift certificate shows an expiration date of 06/30/01. The film was made 10 years later but takes place in the year 2000.

Revealing mistakes

(at around 1h 18 mins) In the kitchen when Peter shoots the large cylinder mounted on the wall near the gas stoves, the cylinder should have contained a fire suppressant chemical which would have made it hard to breathe. Yet the entire time the cylinder is spewing its contents into the kitchen, not one of the people present even so much as coughs.

(at around 1h) Olivia's eye is burned by the laser during her death scene, but once her eye falls out a close-up of it reveals it looking undamaged.
