In the first scene of the film, Detective Matthews is trying to get the gun. When he looks around the room, seeing Adam and Zepp's bodies and Dr. Gordon's foot, we also see Xaiver's body, which is not a dummy, but a cameo made by Franky G. See more...

In the scene when Amanda taunts Lynn, tempting Lynn to kill her, there are two Reverse Bear Traps in the room; one is Amanda's, the other is the same exact one Jill Tuck puts on Hoffman in the future Saw VI. The latter is the one Lynn looks at (at the time it is just a scattered pile of pieces, unassembled). [The "Saw" films are not that pre-planned. The filmmakers didn't even know how IV-VII would turn out while making this one, so seeing some scattered pieces of material that vaguely look like the second reverse bear trap is not trivia, but merely a coincidence.]

If you look closely, right before the brain surgery scene, on one of the monitors behind Amanda (that are supposed to be monitoring Jeff), you can see Rigg, nearing the ending of Saw IV (between the school and meatpacking plant), indicating that the two are happening at the same time. [This trivia is wrong for many reasons. 1) It's Jeff, not Rigg. 2) The filmmakers have repeatedly stated that while there is some pre-planning, the films are not exactly mapped out, so at the time of this film's making, they had no way of even knowing that Rigg was going to be the main character in "Saw IV." (And furthermore, Rigg was a replacement, originally Mathews was supposed to be the lead in IV, so if anything, HE would've been the one on camera.) 3) At this point in the timeline, if Rigg was between the school and meat packing plant (which he wouldn't be yet, as he arrived just before Jigsaw died, which is still a fairly long time away during this scene), there would be no way for Jigsaw to be tracking him, as he's traveling in public. There are other reasons, as well.]

The blades that slice up and supposedly more or less liquify the pigs wouldn't realistically do so. They would just slice up the carcasses, and only parts would come out. [We see that the pigs are chopped up, then go through a metal chute to the other chamber. There could very well be more blades in that chute.]

Previously (part II), Amanda sported a short, spiky 'do. Here, her hair is back to its original length, (as in the first film) Given the actual time-frame between parts II and III (about a year), this would be impossible as female hair grows only half an inch per month; maximum 6.5" in twelve months. Amanda's hair should be only shoulder-length here, and its almost as long as Lynn's. [It's been about a year. They have these things called hair extensions. Women use them.]

When Lynn is opening Jon's skull, the amount of blood in the cavity changes drastically between shots. The cavity goes from full to nearly completely devoid of blood with no evidence that Lynn had washed it out. [This isn't correct - they show Lynn washing out the blood with alcohol, and then using forceps to close off the blood supply to the area, leaving it relatively clean thereafter.]
Edit Corrected by Andrew Upton
According to the Saw III commentary, in a flash back of Jigsaw and Amanda setting up the bathroom trap, Jigsaw told Amanda to tie the key to Adam's foot, making the trap escapable. However, Amanda was careless, and instead just tossed it onto Adam's chest before leaving. Because it was unattached, it was then sucked down the drain as he woke up. [I rewatched the scene, but didn't notice Jigsaw saying to tie the key to Adam's foot. He told Amanda to put Adam's leg in the shackles. It would have been too simple for Adam to have the key hanging within his reach. Jigsaw wanted the key to be in the bathroom and he presumed that it would be washed away. At the end of Saw I he told the shocked Adam that the key was in the tub. Adam had a faint chance, but still he had it.]
Edit
When Jigsaw first says "I call it The Rack" you see shots of the guy's hand and feet. There is blood coming out of the spots where the bolts are going through, and the blood is dripping down onto the parts of The Rack, but when the machine actually starts to turn his hands (right one) there is no blood to be seen. [There most certainly is blood. The stream of blood on his hand is just lighter in volume. But you still can see the blood.]
Edit
The scene goes back to Lynn preparing for Jigsaw's surgery after Jeff rescues the judge. There is a shot of Jigsaw watching Lynn and you can see the hand rotary saw lying on a tray beside him. There are various shots of Lynn getting the equipment ready, and one of them shows her testing the saw and they laying it down on the table with the other instruments. There is another shot of Jigsaw watching Lynn, and you can see that the rotary saw is still on the tray beside him. [This whole scene is a montage, and is not in real time, so she may have moved the rotary saw in between shots.]
Edit
The boards all break when Jeff falls out of the box and one of them lands between his arm and his side. Jeff passes out and we see his flashback. Jeff comes to, and now the board is lying across his chest. [He was passed out and having a very distressing dream/flashback about his last moments before being kidnapped. So, it is entirely plausible that he moved in his sleep and ended up throwing the boards around a bit, (I've seen relatives thrash violently in their sleep) and ended up with one on top of him.]
Edit
The shotgun in the clear case is pointed at the right side of the Judge's face. After the gun fires the hit is registered on the left side of his face. [As John says "I've got the key" the judge turns to look at him, making the gun point at the left side of his face.]
Edit
The position of the paintbrush in Jigsaw's mouth changes during shots of him painting the puppet. [This is a flashback montage, so the shots are not necessarilly in real-time.]
Edit Time
Almost all of the women in the hospital scene are wearing earrings or other types of jewelry. My best friend's mother was a doctor for many years and none of the doctors or nurses were allowed to wear any jewelry while they were at work. An earring could fall off into a patient, a ring could get snagged, etc. Too many risks. There shouldn't have been any jewelry being worn in the hospital scene. [Thats not true in all hospitals. At the hospital in my county all the nurses wear jewelry, so not all hospitals have this rule.]
Edit
This goes back to the original Saw, but it's present in the flashback scene in Saw III. When Adam opens up his closet (in the original) he's holding the bat in his right hand and the camera in his left. In the flashback scene you get to see it from Amanda's point of view, and he's holding the bat in his left hand and the camera in his right. [I just went back and watched this scene both in the first and the third Saw movie, and in both versions, when Adam opens the closet door and pauses in front of it, he has the bat in his left hand and the camera in his right.]
Edit
The straw in Jigsaw's drink is on the opposite side of the glass during the flashbacks when he's telling Amanda that it was actually her test. (During the scene at the start of the movie it was at the front of the glass, during the flashback it's at the back of the glass). [The flashbacks are of events that happened much earlier, and he might have taken a sip from the straw since then, so it makes sense the straw is not in the same place.]
Edit
As Jigsaw is dying there is a shot of him slowly closing his eyes and there's no tear or anything. The shot cuts to Jeff for an instant (less than a second), then back to Jigsaw, and there's a tear and a tear run all the way down his cheek. There wasn't enough time for him to cry it out. [Tears do not always more slowly. They can move quite fast, and move down your face in less than a second, so this is actually possible.]
Edit
When Lynn is shaving Jigsaw's head it is extremely obvious that she's not actually cutting his hair. The clippers come nowhere near his scalp. [Thats because Jigsaws hair is thick and fluffy. You must thin the hair before cutting at the root or you risk painful catching and jamming of the clippers in the thicker hair, trust me, I shave my own head. It happens a lot in the cheaper models of clippers, and everything Jigsaw uses is cheap, found, self-made and often very old and even sometimes rusty.]
Edit Time
Amanda's flashback scene shows Jigsaw placing her in the chair, then putting the first part of the "Reverse Venus Flytrap" device in her mouth. She has no black lipstick on in those shots, but she was wearing black lipstick during that scene in the original Saw. Later, during the flashback, you see her coming out of the building and she has the black lipstick on. [I've watched the scene several times and paused on the one specific shot showing Amanda's lips and the black lipstick can be seen as Jigsaw tilts her head back.]
Edit
When setting the bathroom trap, John looks in the mirror and says 'It's time to start our game." One would think he's saying this to Amanda, but he says, "Zep, its time to start our game." The word Zep has been removed. [You cannot see Jigsaw mouth the word "Zep." It looks more like he is simply sighing before delivering his line.]
Edit
At the end of "Saw II", Larry's sawn-off foot is green and moldy like the corpses of Adam and Zep. Yet in this movie, only a few minutes after being locked in, Eric looks at Gordon's foot, and it is now orange bronze. [Untrue. It appears slightly orange/bronze simply because of the weak flashlight that is being used to illuminate it. Should the regular lights have come on, it would look greenish and rotted as it did in "Saw II."]
Edit
After the guy's left leg snaps there is a shot of his face and you can easily tell that he's passed out. His mouth is slightly open, his head is tilted to the side, and his eyes are rolled back into his head.but less than 10 seconds later his head starts being cranked and he's wide awake. It's debatable whether he'd even stay awake through this entire experience in the first place, your body will shut down after hitting a certain pain threshold, and breaking most of the major bones in the body would probably do that. That fact aside, if he did finally pass out, it would take more than 10 seconds to be fully awake and aware of your surroundings. [Already submitted and corrected.]
