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)

While "Saw III" divided fans on release, this fiendish third entry in the saga has perhaps the most devastating and emotional storyline of the thus-far eight films. Delving more into the backstory of the villainous "Jigsaw" and his accomplice Amanda Young, the movie is an important and critical chapter in the series, and it comes highly recommended from this fan. Special props go to the performances of Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, who give their best work in this installment. 4 out of 5.

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