 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Saw
| In "Saw", why was Mark pressed for time to complete his test? | "Saw" 1 and 2
|
He had a slow-acting poison in his veins.. Mark had to find the combination to the safe in front of him before the poison killed him. The safe contained the antidote. Mark faked sick many times to get out of work and that was why Jigsaw targeted him. Mark got burned, like he had burned others.
He was an orderly.. This was mentioned by Dr. Gordon. We saw a brief flashback to the hospital where Zepp talked about John (Jigsaw).
| In "Saw", who finally cut their foot off and which foot was it? | "Saw" 1 and 2
|
Dr. Gordon, right. Dr. Gordon's family's lives were at stake, and this was why he cut his foot off. His right leg was chained to a wall and if he didn't cut it off, he would be locked in the unknown prison forever. While he did this, his cellmate, Adam, watched in terror.
| In "Saw 2", what was Laura doing when we first saw the house? | "Saw" 1 and 2
|
Pacing back and forth. She paced back and forth because she was scared. She was scared because she woke up in a room with complete strangers. I would be scared, too!
| Who pointed out that the camera in the house didn't have sound in "Saw 2"? | "Saw" 1 and 2
|
Daniel. He said this while huddled in a corner. He got up just before Amanda woke up. Daniel was Detective Matthew's son. The significance behind this was that the housemates knew that they were being watched.
| In "Saw 2", when Obi was in the oven, what word was written above the knob to turn the fire off? | "Saw" 1 and 2
|
Twist. Obi started the fire by taking the second antidote. Once he took it, the door to the oven slammed shut. Obi was the one who captured the people and put them in the house.
Blue. Amanda was the last to wake in the house. She also freaked out the most. Later, you find out Amanda's extensive involvement in the entire trap.
Xavier. Xavier decided to throw Amanda into the pit. The others watched in horror. Xavier was a drug dealer so Jigsaw thought that that particular trap fit him well.
| In "Saw 2", what did Xavier attempt before cutting himself to get his number? | "Saw" 1 and 2
|
He tried to use the knife as a mirror.. He cut the number off of his neck and put it in his pocket. Seconds later, Daniel jumped forward and cut his throat with one of the saws. Xavier was after the numbers on Amanda and Daniel's necks.
| In "Saw 2", what happened when Detective Matthews woke up in the bathroom? | "Saw" 1 and 2
|
He found a tape recorder and played it.. He heard Amanda's voice and found out that she was behind most of the incident. Amanda slammed the door and said 'Game Over'. She was the one who locked him in the bathroom.
Darren Lynn Bousman. Darren Lynn Bousman not only directed "Saw IV", but he directed "Saw II" and "Saw III", as well. He also made uncredited cameo appearances in "Saw II" through "Saw IV". James Wan was the director of the original "Saw", but he has remained an executive producer since then. Leigh Whannell was the co-writer of all the "Saw" movies and also portrayed Adam Faulkner in the original "Saw". He made a few cameo appearances in "Saw III", as well. David Hackl has been with "Saw" since the beginning as their production designer but was the director of "Saw V".
an autopsy room. The movie started out with an autopsy being done on John Kramer's body, by a couple of pathologists. Upon examination, they came across a cassette covered in wax inside of Kramer's stomach, a detail that made sense from events in "Saw III". The cassette contained a message that was recorded specifically for forensic investigator, Detective Mark Hoffman. The mausoleum area was the second scene in the film and the first trap of the movie, before the official start of "Saw IV"; the trap being suitably called the "Mausoleum Trap". The sewers were the third scene in the movie and the first scene after the "Saw IV" logo. There has never been a morgue scene in "Saw" through "Saw IV". A fact to note would be that Darren Lynn Bousman fought with the producers of "Saw IV" to have the wax-covered cassette be found in John Kramer's stomach instead of his intestines, which was what the producers wanted. Bousman won that battle, apparently.
Art Blank. Art Blank played a significant role in "Saw IV". He was the corrupt lawyer of many guilty victims in the "Saw IV" traps, including Ivan Landsness (a rapist), Brenda (a pimp), and Rex (a domestic abuser). Eric Matthews, portrayed by Donnie Wahlberg (member of The New Kids on the Block), was the protagonist of "Saw II" and made a brief appearance in "Saw III". He also came back for "Saw IV", although it's almost certain he won't come back again as Eric Matthews, or for any other "Saw" movies, after the blunt end of Donnie's character in "IV". Judge Halden was the judge who sentenced Jeff Reinhart's (one of the protagonists of "Saw III") son's murderer for only six months in jail. He was killed after getting shot in the face accidentally, after Jeff Reinhart retrieved the key to "The Rack" trap - the key was tied to the trigger of a shotgun and it set off once the string tied to the key was released. Judge Halden was also the victim of the "Pig Vat Trap" in "Saw III" although he was saved by Jeff Reinhart. Trevor was just the secondary victim in the "Mausoleum Trap".
a hatchet. Since Trevor's eyes were sewn shut and Art's mouth was sewn up, both victims had a big disadvantage in the trap. Trevor began to panic as he heard murmuring from Art Blank but didn't get a response to his own screams for help. He scurried and searched the mausoleum floor and found a hatchet and threw it in front of him. The hatchet landed just inches away from Art Blank's head. This hatchet would become a key weapon for Blank later in the trap.
The goal of the "Mausoleum Trap" was that one, or perhaps both, of the victims would have to retrieve a key on the back of their metal collars but both would have a disadvantage as mentioned above. This was basically the first "Saw" trap that pitted two people against each other, although the trap could've easily been converted to a teamwork trap, if one of the victims had broken through their handicap.
One, long chain was connected to both of the victim's metal collars. The chain intersected through a steel rod in the center of a complex machine. Once the machine was activated (a tripwire would yank out an activation pin to the machine, once the chain was yanked hard enough), the rod inside the machine would begin to rotate, coiling the chain up. This would pull both victims closer and closer to the blunt, rusted machine by the collars. In time, the machine would kill them once they were drawn close enough, by breaking their necks.
his left leg. Art Blank noticed that a key was planted on the back of the metal collar on Trevor, unbeknownst to Trevor himself. Trevor picked up a meat hook, as Art grabbed the hatchet that Trevor had earlier thrown at him. Art then approached him slowly. Trevor, while panicking, swung the meat hook around viciously. Art avoided Trevor's swings and grabbed onto the chain attached to Trevor's collar. He slammed him up against the mausoleum wall but in response, Trevor impaled the meat hook into Art's leg. Art took it out soon after and jabbed it into Trevor's neck and retrieved the key on his collar but Trevor attacked again. Art ended up brutally killing Trevor, then he released himself from his metal collar with the key and opened his sewn mouth. Cue "Saw IV" logo.
CHERISH YOUR LIFE. The message was specifically directed to Lieutenant Daniel Rigg. Since Rigg was a SWAT officer, his job was to save lives. This ultimately led to Rigg taking his own life for granted. His will to save everyone grew and grew as it practically became an obsession. Jigsaw wanted Rigg to open his eyes and realize that he should stop worrying about others and start worrying about himself. "Cherish your life" was also a motto stolen from Jill Tuck's health clinic by Jigsaw. "Judge as I judge" was written in red paint on the walls of Jigsaw's warehouse (seen near the end of the movie). "Her life is in your hands" was written in red paint on a tossed over table in the "Spike trap" room. "Final test" was written on the glass panel of the door to the "Ice Block trap" room.
Scott Patterson and Athena Karkanis. People may know Scott Patterson as Luke Danes from "Gilmore Girls" and Athena Karkanis as Dawn Vargaz from "The Best Years". Joanne Boland was the crime scene photographer from "Saw IV", who was unexpectedly impaled through the face by a metal rod at the "Spike Trap" crime scene (a forensic detective set off a rod-firer as he dusted it for fingerprints. The rod-firer was also used to set up the "Spike Trap" - by getting the spikes into position). Justin Louis was the actor who portrayed Art Blank, and Ingrid Hart was the actress who portrayed Lieutenant Daniel Rigg's girlfriend, Tracy. Costas Mandylor signed a contract to portray Detective Mark Hoffman in "Saw III" through "Saw VI".
| As Lieutenant Daniel Rigg was looking over some information at the police station, he looked over a book about John Kramer entitled, "John Kramer aka Jigsaw: Is He the Murderer the Police Say He Was?". The author of the book was shown to be Tim Blake. As the book cover stated, what other book did Tim Blake write? | "Saw IV": "It's a Trap" - Part I
|
The Beasts We Know. John Kramer's face was also seen on a magazine entitled, "Modern Cultures". Highlights featured on the front cover were "It's All in the Traps" and "Behind Vacant Eyes", along with "Det Eric Matthews" and "95 Influential Criminal Masterminds". He also appeared on another magazine entitled, "Journal of Civil Engineering" on the front cover.
Reasons for why Kramer would be on the cover of the mentioned magazines would be because he was (fictionally) a very famous murderer (even though he never killed anybody with his bare hands), which was a reason why he would appear on "95 Influential Criminal Masterminds". Kramer was also a very skilled mechanic and engineer - he would have to be to create such complex devices and traps. This fact would support him appearing on the cover of "Journal of Civil Engineering".
"It's All in the Traps" and "Behind Vacant Eyes" were both hardcover books and possibly autobiographies on John Kramer.
| As Lieutenant Daniel Rigg watched a video tape of an interrogation between Detective Mark Hoffman and Jill Tuck, Hoffman quoted the following phrases on the tape: "let's start at the beginning" and "why don't we start at the end and work our way backwards?" Did those quotes have any relevance to the plot of "Saw IV" whatsoever? | "Saw IV": "It's a Trap" - Part I
|
Yes. Darren Lynn Bousman stated (in the commentary) that there were multiple clues scattered throughout "Saw IV" - hidden clues given to the viewing audience to understand the storyline/plot/twist ending, ahead of time. The significance to "starting at the end and working backwards" was the whole movie. "Saw IV" started out with technically the end of the movie as it worked its way backwards after. The "Saw" franchise is notable for having hidden clues scattered throughout the movies, to predict the twist ending beforehand.
| As Agent Strahm and Perez were looking over evidence in the case room, Mark Hoffman checked on them to see how it was going. Under his arm was a stuffed plushy toy. What type of animal was it? | "Saw IV": "It's a Trap" - Part I
|
a muskrat. Agent Perez mentioned the toy, asking, "boy or girl?" Hoffman replied that it was a girl. Perez claimed she didn't know that Hoffman was married (implying he had a daughter with his spouse) and he replied he wasn't, further stating that the story behind the toy was unimportant. The stuffed toy was also Corbett Reinhart's plushy from "Saw III", in which it was seen for a brief moment in Corbett's arms as she sat in a locked room with a limited supply of air. In the commentary to "Saw IV", Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that the species of toy was amongst a muskrat/badger.
| What is the name of the trap Seth finds himself in at the beginning of "Saw V?" | Saw V
|
Pendulum trap. Seth Baxter is put in a trap where a Pendulum has a titanium steel blade on it. He has but one minute, before it will cut him in half, to destroy his hands and free himself. He fails and he is cut in half.
| What does Agent Stram decide to do, after playing the message from Jigsaw while locked in the sick room? | Saw V
|
He ignores the message and enters the hallways.. Agent Stram sees a door that's painted with glow in the dark paint on the wall. When he opens the door, he finds a tape recorder telling him not to enter the hallways. He then ignores the message, and enters.
| Five people wake up in a room with collars attached to their necks. What will happen if they do not retrieve a key in time? | Saw V
|
They will be decapitated.. The five people wake up, and after a message from Jigsaw, realize they have but one minute to retrieve a key to their collars. However, if one of the people goes for a key, the timer will start for all of them. At the end of the timer, the collars will retract back and anyone left will be decapitated by mounted razors.
| In each room there are traps that will trigger and kill anyone that is left inside the room alive. What are the traps? | Saw V
|
Exploding nail bomb jars. Nowhere in the movie is there exploding broken glass or exploding saw blades. There is a room where fire bombs go off, but in each room it is nail jar bombs that go off to make sure whoever is alive will be killed.
| Who are the names of the people in the five to one trap? | Saw V
|
Brit, Charles, Luba, Mallik, Ashley. These people all have a connection to a fire that killed eight people that were still inside a building. Luba is a city planner, who took bribes from clients to go on with buildings that were not safe. Ashley is a fire inspector who filed a false report about the fire. Charles is the journalist who was writing about the whole incident. Mallik is the man who set the building on fire, and Brit works for the real estate development company who paid Mallik to burn down the building.
| Which character is killed in the neck collar trap? | Saw V
|
Ashley. Ashley could not retrieve the key to her collar in time. Therefore, when the collars started to retract back, she went with them. Her neck hit the razors mounted on the wall and she is killed.
| While the five people are talking, they find out, through Charles, that Luba's father owns a famous sports team. Which team does Mallik say her father owned? | Saw V
|
The Cougars. As Brit is questioning Luba about her life, Charles asks Luba if she is going to tell everyone about her dad. Luba tells them her father's name, and Mallik confirms he is indeed the owner of the Cougars.
| Agent Stram is hot on Det. Hoffman's tail. What does he find out about Det Hoffman that concludes his belief that Hoffman is inovolved as an accomplice? | Saw V
|
All of the Above (Hoffman was involved in setting up the "Saw II" house, Hoffman was involved in Seth Baxter's Pendulum Trap, Hoffman was involved in Pauls Razor Wire Trap in "Saw I"). Hoffman was involved in every case after Seth Baxter's trap. This concludes that Hoffman has been a part of Jigsaw's team from the beginning of this torture mantra. He is also seen in "Saw III" taking evidence from Troy's classroom trap.
| What does Brit discover about the keys from the neck collar trap? | Saw V
|
All the keys matched and one could have unlocked all collars. Mallik tells Brit to try one of the keys from the neck collar trap room on the exit door in the final trap room. When Brit walks over to try the keys on the lock, she notices that they are all the same key. She tells Mallik that all the keys would have worked on any collar, and that no one had to die in any trap.
| Mallik confesses to Brit that he knows one of the people since the beginning of the game. Who does he know? | Saw V
|
Charles. Mallik confirms to Brit that he knows Charles, the investigative journalist, since the beginning of the game. Becuase of this knowledge, they both conclude they are all there because of the house fire.
Thanks for playing!
