Saw III (2006)

44 corrected entries

★★★★☆

Starring: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen, Bahar Soomekh

Corrected entry: At the end, when the woman's head is blown up, only her face is destroyed, without any damage to her neck. This makes no sense, as the explosives were around the neck.

Correction: I've seen the movie twice, and it certainly looks to me like everything from the neck up is blown away.

Corrected entry: When Lynn rolls out of bed with Chris to go to work, she has an argument with Chris. He claims she does not talk to him anymore, knows her schedule, etc... Chris asks for a divorce as she heads out the door. Then in the end of the movie, after Jeff shoots Amanda, John Kramer claims Jeff and Lynn were married. Then there is a flashback to the bed scene with Chris, and John Kramer says, "the cheating wife." If Chris wanted her to divorce Jeff, it would be because they were happy. Lynn and Chris could not arrange to sleep together if Lynn was married to Jeff without Lynn talking to Chris. (00:18:10 - 01:42:15)

Correction: The implication is that Lynn and Chris had been sleeping together for a while. Chris doesn't like doing it in secret, which is why he asks Lynn to divorce Jeff.

Corrected entry: 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.

Correction: It's been about a year. They have these things called hair extensions. Women use them.

Amanda Young would not be wearing hair extensions, lol. It's just a detail that was overlooked. Her hair would not grow to that length in a year, and her character would not be going out and getting extensions put in.

Corrected entry: When John and Amanda are preparing the game for Gordon and Adam, John lies on the floor and Amanda walks out, switching the light off, but the light is on when Gordon and Adam wake up in Saw.

Correction: No, there is emergency lighting that barely illuminates what is in front of Adam and Lawrence. Lawrence then finds a light switch about 2 minutes in.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: The drill that Lynn uses on Jigsaw's skull has a white piece of tape on the end of the drill bit a short distance from the end, presumably to mark the thickness of his skull so she knows where to stop. In one shot (during the drilling scene) the piece of tape moves a good two inches farther up on the drill bit, but it's back down in the very next shot. (01:04:05)

Questions

Question: So in this film, through the flashbacks, we learn a lot about the previous films. However, with all that is known, why does Jigsaw leave Adam in the bathroom and close the door? He says game over - did Adam fail? Is the suffocation by Amanda the punishment for failing?

blinkrockshow281

Answer: It was too late for Adam to solve the game the way he was intended to- the key went down the drain, which Jigsaw actually didn't intend to happen. Adam's key was meant to be tied around his neck in such a way that neither him nor Lawrence would be able to see, and Adam would be allowed to go free and escape if he were to locate the key- which would only be possible if he looked at himself. The whole idea behind his puzzle was "looking at himself instead of others, for a change." The reason it went down the drain instead, was because of Amanda, who continuously made traps unsolvable. Instead of tying it around him like Jigsaw asked, she just tossed it on his chest, which defeated the whole purpose. Also, he was given a saw just as Lawrence was, as a much more violent plan B, another way he could save his own life.

That doesn't make sense because Jigsaw told Adam that the key is in the bathtub at the end of the movie.

Chosen answer: Jigsaw most likely decided to leave Adam in the room in case Gordon didn't shoot him. Adam wasn't the one who failed, it was Gordon. He simply decided to leave him in there, the easy way out. As for his suffocation, Jigsaw already mentions Amanda's emotional side also being her weakness. While Adam was meant to die after a certain amount of time, Amanda's emotions got the best of her and so she decided to mercy kill him.

Answer: Adam didn't just lose because he let the key get drowned. He had the two hacksaws and he broke his own in a hurry. And there was also the toilet lid that he could have used to smash his foot like Eric did in Saw III. Jigsaw never said that improvising or thinking outside the box was against the rules. So even if you wipe the key out of the equation, Adam still has at least two other ways to release himself from the chains.

hsssjusuh

Answer: In Saw III, Jigsaw states that he "despises murderers", so when Adam tried to shoot him, in his eyes, he just attempted murder. There is also the fact that Adam killed Zep as well, so maybe Jigsaw regarded that as straight-up killing.

Answer: Well Jigsaw told Adam that the key to his chains was in the bathtub, without knowing he pulled the plug, drowning the key with it. However, he could have responded instead of trying to shoot Jigsaw. After that, he most likely came to the conclusion that Adam didn't learn his lesson. And Amanda coming back to kill him is most likely a mercy kill, though it's not confirmed.
