Corrected entry: The two ice-blocks that are suspended from the ceiling (that kill Mathews) were present the entire film. However, it is impossible that nobody would have noticed them, as they would be melting at least lightly, causing water to drip down and make noise. Also, they are rigged to a series of wires and pulleys that would have literally been impossible not to notice.

Correction: Who's to say what a person would, or would not notice under extreme stress? The lawyer was concentrating on watching the monitors, and saving his own skin, and the detective standing on the ice block has been in captivity for six months, and wants to die, so he certainly may not have noticed some water dripping from the ceiling.

Corrected entry: Rigg pulls the red scarf off the blonde woman and we don't see where it goes. Then there are two closeups of the woman where the scarf is nowhere in sight, and she has nothing on her left shoulder. Then in the next shot, suddenly the scarf is covering her and the machine behind her, and part of it is draped over her left shoulder. (00:23:45 - 00:24:15)

Correction: The red cloth is part of the pig mask. He pulls that off and the cloth isn't seen again. All we see is the red mouth gag round her neck.

Corrected entry: When the guy with the mouth stitched shut has put his legs against the machine to avoid being pulled anymore, a few seconds later you see him with his mouth open, enough for him to easily say something. At the end of the scene you see him being able to open his mouth easily, something he could've then done much earlier. And even if say his tongue was cut out to explain him not being able to say anything with an open mouth, he wouldn't be able to scream at the end either. (00:07:40 - 00:10:45)

Correction: Due to the angle and the lighting it looks like he can open his mouth slightly, however, until he rips his mouth open after the game, he can't open his mouth.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: When Rigg awakens and his test starts, he is shown a video clip of Detective Mathews and Hoffman in their trap, and both are wide awake and looking around. Yet, only a few minutes later, we see the room that they are in, and you see them passed out before waking up for the first time. (You can tell they are waking up for the first time in that room based on their reactions and flashbacks.) This makes no sense, as they were wide awake in that room just moments earlier on the video.

Correction: There's no telling how long they have been awake and in that room for before he saw them on the video. Just because we see them wake up, after we saw them awake on the tape, doesn't mean that's the order things happened in.

Correction: The camera scene is just copied when Eric and Matthew wake up. If you look closely at the camera scene Hoffman is passed out and slowly wakes up. The next scene when we see them wake up Hoffman does the same movements.

Other mistake: In Saw II, Jigsaw shares a story with Detective Matthews about how he attempted suicide after his cancer diagnosis by driving his car off a cliff. We then see Jigsaw pulling a metal rod out of the left side of his stomach. However, no puncture wound/scarring is visible on Jigsaw's stomach when his autopsy is being performed. (00:00:50)

Trivia: When Officer Rigg is walking through the school, before he finds Morgan and Rex in the rod trap, he walks by a dark room blocked off with police-barrier-tape. Originally, there was a scene that revealed this was the room where Troy from "Saw III" died, but it was cut, presumably for pacing reasons.

More trivia for Saw IV

Question: I don't understand why Hoffman isn't electrocuted at the end. He was connected to high voltage cages and his feet came under water, so how did he and/or Jigsaw plan so he wouldn't be electrocuted under any circumstances?

Answer: The chair wasn't actually electrified. It was just made to look that way in order to hide his involvement in the game.
