Continuity mistake: When Kerry is looking in the closet, she is right by the door. Camera changes has she has jumped about two feet back instantly. (00:12:30)

Continuity mistake: When Kerry is sneaking up to the door, you can see on the TV that she raises her gun up to her chest, but then the shot cuts away (instant cut) and she's still aiming the gun at the closet. (00:13:00)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: Not only does the key in the acid stop bubbling, then start up again as Kerry's reaching into the jar (as mentioned in a previous mistake), but in almost every shot the key switches from bubbles to no bubbles. It also moves position from the back of the jar to the front of the jar. (00:13:15)

Continuity mistake: The key is bubbling when it first drops in the acid, and continues bubbling throughout most of the scene. As Jigsaw's message is winding down, the bubbling dies down and stops. But it's bubbling full force again when the detective goes to put her hand in the jar. (00:13:20)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: The blood mark on Kerry's cheek changes several times. It's most easily noticeable when you first see her in the 'Angel' trap, and then a close up on her face at the 14:17 mark in the movie. (00:14:10)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: In one shot, when Kerry is in the 'Angel' trap, her right hand is on the chain. The shot cuts away to an over-her-shoulder view and her hand is off the chain. The shot cuts back to show her and her hand is back on the chain. (00:15:10)

Nick Bylsma

Revealing mistake: When Kerry is in the Angel trap there is a close up of her about to put her hand in the acid for the first time before it changes to a spinning shot. In the close up, watch very closely and you will see her fingertips enter the acid but she doesn't get burned or scream in pain. (00:15:40)

THGhost

What about not being burned? That's still a mistake.

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Kerry is in the Anglet trap, there is one point where her hand has almost grabbed the key out of the acid. The camera changes and her hand is nowhere near the key. (00:15:40)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Jigsaw says "You're already dead on the inside", the oxygen mask is resting on his chest. In the next shot he is holding the mask. (00:25:00)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda tells Lynn "Let me give you the simple version" there are several hairs that are across Lynn's face, the next shot of Lynn has her hair back nice and neat. (00:27:35)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: When Jeff reaches up and plays with his daughter's hair some of her hair falls over/in front of her stuffed animal. The next shot of her (instant cuts) and her hair is back behind the animal. (00:31:00)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: When Jeff comes in to his daughter's room the blanket that she has around her chin changes position from shot to shot. It goes from right next to her chin, the a few inches below it, all the way down to spread out on her bed. She doesn't change position in any of the shots, so she couldn't have pulled it off herself. (00:32:00)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: The red cloth (bag?) that's covering the gun changes its position DRASTICALLY between the first time you see it (then he talks to his daughter when she comes in the room) and then the second time you see it. The first time the back half of it is folded back over itself and it's almost tucked under Jeff's leg. The next time you see it it's completely spread out flat. Jeff didn't rearrange it while he talked to it daughter, it just "magically" happened. (00:33:00 - 00:33:55)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: A little bit after you first see Jeff there is a shot of Amanda looking into Jigsaw's room. Lynn is telling Jigsaw to look at her. The pillow is about three-quarters of the way down Jigsaw's head, almost down to his neck. The shot cuts to a closer view of him and now the pillow in a good 8-10 inches higher on his head, up past his ears. (00:36:20)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: Look at Jigsaw's oxygen mask first time Lynn tells him "Look at my flashlight". The mask is next to his neck, lying flat on his shoulder. The shot cuts to Lynn for a second, then back to Jigsaw, now the mask is standing vertical and almost touching his cheek. (00:36:25)

Nick Bylsma

Jigsaw: Hello, I want to play a game.

More quotes from Saw III

Trivia: The camera moves from Troy's crime scene to Kerry in the bathtub in one shot - Dina Meyer had to run around the set, undress, and jump into the tub. If you look closely, you can still see the water moving from when she jumped in.

More trivia for Saw III

Question: In both Saw II and III we learn that Amanda is working for Jigsaw, after her test in the first movie. However I don't see the reason why she had to be in a game again, in Saw II. I was hoping that to be explained in Saw III, but apparently, it wasn't. Please enlighten me.

Answer: In Saw V, Jigsaw explains to Hoffman that Amanda's purpose in the second game was make sure the others followed the rules.

Phaneron

Answer: Amanda was in the Saw 2 game to mainly protect Daniel Eric's son from harm, so he could be alive for Eric's test during the police interrogation with Jigsaw. The whole game centered around Eric Matthews and simply included his framed victims. This was Amanda's choosing, so she was the reasonable choice to oversee it.

Answer: In Saw II, Amanda pretended to be one of the prisoners, so she could observe her fellow prisoners.
