Saw

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Gordon is trying to get the phone it is just mm away from the box. When the camera changes, it's a good few inches away from the box. (01:25:05)

Continuity mistake: When Ali is pointing the gun at Zep, she is either holding it in her left hand or two-handed at one point. This is not to be confused with when the gun swaps hands. (01:20:15)

Continuity mistake: In the car chase scene, Zep is seen driving a late 80's Ford Bronco II (could be a Ranger pickup because we only see the front). When he arrives at the warehouse, the truck has changed to an early 90s Ford F-150. (01:23:40)

Continuity mistake: When Tapp and Sing go to Jigsaw's place and find the guy strapped to the chair, they uncover him, then re-cover him to see what Jigsaw is going to do. When Jigsaw pulls the sheet off, one side is still caught on the drill bits. When he starts the drills the sheet is completely clear. (00:48:00)

Continuity mistake: Adam grabs the bat with both hands right after he sees the laughing doll in his apartment (the view is from behind him). The very next shot shows the front of him, but he has the bat in one hand, and the camera in the other. (01:07:10)

Continuity mistake: Tapp is watching the Amanda tape. Jigsaw says "look" and then Tapp rewinds the tape for 2 seconds. He presses play and Jigsaw says, "Look around" He should have said the word "mate" at that point. (00:43:40)

Continuity mistake: Jigsaw's thumb moves between shots after Adam gets the mini cassette recorder out of his hands. You can see Jigsaw's thumb, in the closeup shot, slide down to a position where it's lying horizontal and flat on the floor as the mini cassette recorder is being slid out of his hand. In the next shot, an overhead, you can see that his thumb has moved and is now more curled and in a more vertical position to where just the tip is touching the floor. Jigsaw isn't dead, so he could have moved, but this shot is an *instant* cut, he had no time to move.

Continuity mistake: Adam swishes his hand in the filthy toilet, getting brown liquid over his hand. Adam's hand suddenly becomes completely clean a very short time later. (00:12:50)

Saw mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Singh is following Jigsaw, he shoots him in the back and proceeds to close in on Jigsaw. In one shot from behind him he is next to a wooden spool. Camera changes to in front of him and now he's further away. (00:51:20)

Continuity mistake: When Tapp and Singh work out where the warehouse is Tapp has his hand out on the table over a map. The camera cuts and now they're on the arm of his chair. (00:44:50)

Continuity mistake: When Adam finishes throwing stuff at the camera and Dr Gordon explains about every angle being thought out, the shard of glass at Adams feet keeps changing position without being touched. (00:30:40)

Continuity mistake: When Dr Gordon is called to his office to speak with the two detectives, his chair is facing away from him as he approaches it but it suddenly turns, so he can sit down and talk with the detectives. (00:20:20)

Saw mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Dr Gordon is reading the note that was in the box with the phone, the way he holds it differs between shots. It goes from 2 handed to single-handed. (00:55:50)

Continuity mistake: When Tapp and Sing discover the Billy puppet in Jigsaw's warehouse, the puppet's head changes direction at least once. (00:47:10)

Saw mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The bloody bullet wound is seen on Tapp after he's shot. When he is shown after he falls on the ground, the bullet wound is not there. (01:27:50)

Saw mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The bloody handprint on Lawrence's shoulder that Adam makes at the end is visible before he actually makes it. Second, when Adam finds the tape recorder, it flashes back to Lawrence saying "why?" before Zep tells him it's the rules and the handprint is also visible, but shouldn't be there as Adam made it after he killed Zep. (01:29:40 - 01:33:10)

Continuity mistake: We see Adam on Dr. Gordon on the screen that Zep is watching. By Adam's foot there is nothing, yet when we see Adam, there is a piece of glass. (00:30:00)

Saw mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Dr. Gordon empties his envelope into his hands in an extreme closeup. In this shot you can see the tape is not sticking up. Camera changes and the tape is now sticking up. (00:06:50)

Saw mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When we see the bathroom again after we hear about Amanda, the clock is at 11:35. When Adam breaks the glass, just a few continuous minutes later, the time is 12:20. (00:30:00)

Ssiscool

Plot hole: Det. Kerry says at the scene of Paul's trap, "He had two hours." There is no way she could have known that. The clock simply said 3:00 and the tape specifically says "you have until 3 o'clock or this room will become your tomb". No way to know that's two hours after the fact. (00:17:30)

Suggested correction: In the flashback of the razor wire trap, it shows the clock as a few minutes past 1, so he did know he had 2 hours.

Paul knew he had 2 hours as like you said he could see a clock counting. But how did detective Kerry who made the remarks in the first place as listed in the mistake?

Question: This is a question regarding the scene where Ali tells Dr. Gordon over the phone to not believe Adam's lies. How does Ali know about Adam in the first place? From what you gather, it is only Detective Tapp that knows Adam since he was the one who paid Adam in secret to follow and take pictures of Dr. Gordon. So, was it Zep that told Ali about Adam? If so, how did Zep know about Adam? From Jigsaw? Any further details would be appreciated. Thanks.

Chosen answer: Yes. You pretty much guessed correctly. We can assume that Jigsaw told Zep to tell Ali to tell Dr Gordon, "do not believe Adam's lies..." Don't forget that Jigsaw spends hours planning his tests so it would be safe to say that he had planned it all in the beginning.
