Trivia
Real logs were tested for the crash sequence, but they "didn't bounce enough", therefore, the logs are CGI in this film.

Goofs
At the end of Final Destination (2000), Alex had just been saved, so Clear was next. But after that, someone could have saved Clear so that it skipped her again, and then Alex died after that. Since Clear says she and Alex cheated death dozens of times, it must have even jumped back and forth between them several more times.

Quotes
Kimberly Corman: Look, please... if you know of anything that could help us, what harm could it do?
William Bludworth: Only new life can defeat Death.
Burke: What the hell does that mean?
William Bludworth: Some people say there's a balance to everything. For every life there's a death, for every death, there is a life. But the introduction of life that was not meant to be, that can invalidate the list, force Death to start anew. You have to follow the signs, Kimberly.
Kimberly Corman: How do you know my name?

Good sequel...

As sequels tend to usually turn out, luckily "Final Destination 2" from 2003 didn't follow suit. Director David R. Ellis delivered a sequel to the 2000 movie "Final Destination" that was almost as enjoyable as the original predecessor, so that was quite an accomplishment.

Writers J. Mackye Gruber, Eric Bress and Jeffrey Reddick put together a rather enjoyable and entertaining script and storyline, which was quite a good continuation in the spirit of the 2000 "Final Destination" movie, and at the same time managed to tie the first movie in with this sequel in a very good way. So thumbs up to the writers for that accomplishment.

Something that always impress med in "Final Destination 2" is the impressive highway scene, it totally blows me away every time I sit down and watch the movie. It is like watching a well-orchestrated symphony of destruction and mayhem. Plus the way it is filmed and the effects really bring the scene to life (pardon the pun) in a very cool way.

The cast ensemble in "Final Destination 2" is good, and it was nice to see Ali Larter and Tony Todd return to the screen to reprise their roles from the previous movie. And "Final Destination 2" brings to the franchise a bunch of great actors and actresses as well, which certainly helped to add to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

Visually quite good, "Final Destination 2" delivers the destruction and mayhem to the audience in a very believable and realistic manner.

My rating of director David R. Ellis's 2003 movie "Final Destination 2" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
