>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<
Trivia items below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.
- SPOILER: Jessica Cauffiel's character Lily is set to go to Los Angeles the day after she's killed. In Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000), Cauffiel's character is also set to go to Los Angeles the day after she's killed.
- SPOILER: The order in which Jeremy asks the girls to dance is also the order in which they die. - The girls' responses to Jeremy's asking them to dance foreshadows their fates. Lily acts disgusted when asked to dance, and is later disgusted when she bites into a chocolate with maggots inside. Paige says she'd rather be boiled alive, and is electrocuted in a hot tub. Dorothy ends up blaming Jeremy for her actions, and Jeremy/Adam later frames her for the murders. Kate says 'maybe later', so we hear her screaming after the screen goes black and the credits roll ("later").
