Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Updated recently As we all know from watching "Saw" or "Saw 2" the mastermind behind all the traps is a cancer patient. He could barely finish a sentence without coughing up a lung. Even while recording the messages on the tapes, he could hardly suppress his coughs. Yet somehow he manages to lay in the middle of the room the entire time and not cough once. [In the first Saw he took a sedative shortly before lying down on the floor. Being that we don't know what type of sedative, its effects etc., it's fairly tough to state categorically whether he would or wouldn't have been able to suppress his coughing.]

Entry Not massive trivia, but a little interesting: When Eric and Jigsaw are going down the elevator at the end, it shows a shot of the lift from above. In Hollow Man, when Cain goes down the elevator after he finds a stable DNA bond, it shows the lift from above too, and it's exactly the same as what they use in Saw 2. It's never mentioned by Darren Lynn Bousman, but I'm sure it's the same elevator - check it out. [Similar looking elevator shafts are not the makings of trivia.]

Entry Rigg's earpiece disappears between shots. [When and where? Give more specifics, so we know what to look for.]

Entry Towards the end, as the cop moves through the house and sees the door in the floor by the bodies, you can see a full syringe on the floor. Where did this come from? At no point did anyone in that room get hold of a syringe, and even if they had, they'd have injected themselves with it. It can't have been used for anything, as it's full. [When detective Matthews goes through the room Amanda had gone. Amanda we find out had been working for jigsaw so would have known the combination to the safe. Since we have no idea how many antidotes are in the safe it could be that the one on the floor was one that fell out of the safe when Amanda is leaving.]

Entry In Saw, after Zep dies his feet are stretched out. However in Saw 2, his legs are now bent. It is highly unlikely that Adam would have moved him. [Actually it's very likely that Adam would have moved him. Remember at the end of the first film Jigsaw told Adam there was a key in the tub and left him in a dark room. Adam might have searched Zep's corpse for a flashlight, cell phone and/or key.]
Time
Entry In the crematorium trap, near the end of the scene where the doomed character dies, his jeans should be entirely burnt due to the flames, yet they are not. [They have only just caught fire so it is likely that they're still intact.]
Time
Entry When Xavier opens the door to the room with the needle pit, right when he gets the door open, there is a shot of the pin coming out of the timer which reads 4 minutes. It cuts to Xavier then back to the timer which now reads 2 minutes 58 seconds. [Time can pass between shots. Movies aren't shot in real time so a minute could have passed by.]
Time
Entry When Mathews is being brought to the scene of the opening murder, the female officer turns to face him, and between cuts she moves significantly closer to him than she was. [No she doesn't. The camera angle makes her appear closer to him than she really is.]
Time
Entry You can tell the finger agent Mathews breaks on Jigsaw's hand is a fake prop as it does not move at all in the shot until it is broken. [Perhaps Jigsaw is not moving his finger. He seemed pretty calm the whole time, even when he was getting beat up. The guy was also heavily medicated.]
Time
Entry When Jigsaw is retelling the flashback to Matthews and recalls being taken to the doctor's office to learn he is dying of cancer, the name on the office door is Dr. Lawrence Gordon, Oncologist. This is the name of Cary Elwes' character tortured by Jigsaw in the first Saw film. [This is not trivia at all, but an essential plot point. Jigsaw was torturing Dr. Gordon because of the callous way he treated his patients.]

Entry After falling into the pit of needles, somehow all of the needles in Amanda's skin stay intact and do not break, despite her fall and her rapid digging through them. Very, very unlikely at best. [Unlikely, but not impossible. Speculation doesn't count as a movie mistake.]

Entry After John tells Eric Matthews that they have two hours left before the gas affects them, they show the clock reading 7:30. In a later shot they show the clock reading 8:30. But in later shots when Eric is slamming papers down on the desk in front of John, the clock now reads 8 o'clock. [Spoiler alert: What's happening in the house happened BEFORE jigsaw got arrested/cornered. It didn't matter because it wasn't happening live anyway.]
Time
Entry How did the safe in the beginning room open? It is seen open when the cop ran through the house. Nobody knew the full code. Besides, Xavier was the only one who knew about the codes, besides Amanda, and was looking for them. Amanda couldn't have opened it because it was still locked when Xavier passed through the trap door. [There was a HUGE time gap between Xavier being killed and the cop coming into the house (enough for Amanada to take Daniel to JigSaw). So she has a plethora of time to open the safe, which she would have known because she helped plan the entire situation.]
Time
Entry After Amanda gets the key from the pit of syringes, she throws it up to Xavier, who frantically tries to put it in the lock, but drops it, and the time expires and the door locks. There was a syringe with a green liquid in it attached to the key, and, seeing as how all of the other presumed antidotes were green, that one probably was as well. So, why didn't anybody inject it? Out of all the people there, at least one of them should have noticed it, especially Xavier, since he was obviously the most anxious person to get an antidote, and he was the one who was handling it. [Perhaps since it wasn't mentioned by Jigsaw, no one considered that idea. Character Mistake and not a movie mistake.]
