Plot summary
Amy Mayfield studies film at Alpine University. Reese Wilson, a campus security guard, tells her about a murder spree at a school where she once worked, and the account gives Amy the idea for her thesis: a movie about a killer who murders the way urban legends tell it. She makes it for Professor Solomon's class. Classmates volunteer on the shoot, among them her friend Sandra Petruzzi. Toby Belcher, the cameraman assigned to her, walks off the production and says the idea was his.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The crew intended to make a fake kidney for the sequence in which the character awakens to find her kidney has been removed, but because of budget and time restraints used a goat's kidney from a butcher shop. A goat kidney is anatomically larger than a human one, so it had to be truncated.
- The opening sequence on the airplane was originally written to have occurred on a boat, but the script was altered at the last minute after the crew came across an airplane set from the film Pushing Tin (1999). Because of the low budget, director Ottman chose to use the set.
- The amusement park Ontario Place served as the filming location for the mining ride sequence; the mine ride in the film was in fact a log ride that had been drained of its water for the impending winter months and re-dressed to appear as a mine-themed ride.
- Anson Mount originally auditioned for the dual role of Travis / Trevor Stark, but had wanted the role of Toby instead; according to Ottman he "aced" that audition and was cast as Toby. Matthew Davis auditioned for Travis / Trevor and was cast, marking his first major film role.
- The bell tower seen in the film was not a real building at all: it was constructed solely for the production, at a cost of $150,000.
