My girl and I are big fans of the FD series. Does the third part continue the storyline of the first two as part two picks up (in a subtle way) the continuity of the first part? Or is it a stand-alone story? Can't imagine the rollercoaster crash surpassing the freeway crash of part two in terms of gore, but we'll see when we see part three. Giggle-giggle.

P.S. Was there room for a part four? Giggle-giggle. Don't tell me. Tell me. Giggle-giggle. Yes, I do love gore. What gave it away?
MINOR SPOILERS!
It's like in FD2. Those events happened 1 year from FD1 but that was about the only way it interacted. In this one FD3 was 6 years later. The number 180 was about the only relevant thing and of course it was mentioned about the events in FD1 & 2. No survivor from FD2 showed up in this one. I guess they could make a FD4 if they do the same thing with new ideas. And you are right, the roller coaster scene, while really cool, could never come close to the freeway scene from FD2. That was just totally awesome!

Okay, I just got back from seeing Final Destination III. Gore-wise, it was very clever, but not suspenseful as in one and two. Story-wise, Part two was much better developed than Part Three, but Part one is still the best story. Character-wise, Part two hands down is superior to both one and three, but I liked the Part three characters more. Plot-wise, Part two is still the best, as the characters try to figure out how to cheat Death; in Part three, one just waits to see how clever the next gruesome death scene will be: mention is made of cheating Death, but it doesn't drive the plot. And Part four was not tacked into the ending--it was hammered in. But one damn fine movie for the gore-hounds. I give it Three Howls out of Four.

P.S. Did you notice how they managed to sneak Tony Todd into the third part? So, he has been in all three parts now.

I thought I heard his voice in the train announcement at the end but I didn't see him.
