Continuity mistake: Jill opens the 6th envelope to show Hoffman. When she does, the envelope instantly vanishes from her hands. (01:18:25)
Saw VI (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Kevin Greutert
Starring: Tobin Bell, Betsy Russell, Costas Mandylor, Mark Rolston
Pamela (the reporter) is William's sister. The mother and son in the other cage is Hank's family. Hank is the man who had his health insurance coverage denied at the beginning of the movie. Hank's wife doesn't want to kill William but Hank's son pulls the switch and William is injected with acid. The sheet of paper that Pamela had (and showed to Jill at her apartment) is the mysterious letter that Amanda received in the 3rd movie. The letter was written by Hoffman. He wrote to Amanda that he knows that Amanda told Cecil to go to Jill's clinic for drugs. Cecil caused Jill to lose her and John's/Jigsaw unborn child (this happened in a flashback in the 4th film). The letter also says that Amanda had to kill Lynn (the doctor that did surgery on Jigsaw in the 3rd film) or he would tell Jigsaw that she was involved in Cecil's robbery and loss of the child. The 6th envelope in the box given to Jill by Jigsaw (the box was given in the previous movie) has info and a photo of Hoffman. Hoffman, like Amanda, also has to go through a test. Jill places a reverse bear trap on Hoffman and leaves. Hoffman acts quickly and places the front part of the trap between the bars of a window (so that the trap can't fully open) and takes off the trap. The last scene is Hoffman with part of his faced ripped open and screaming in agony...

Jigsaw: You think it's the living who have the ultimate judgment over you, because the dead have no claim over your soul. But you may be mistaken.
Trivia: Similar to the previous two films, the writers crafted "Saw VI" to contain subtle parallels and similarities to the original trilogy - in this case most notably "Saw III." These include: -Both films involve the rebellion of Jigsaw's apprentice who has started to become violent/controlling and drift from his methodology. (Amanda/Hoffman) -Both films include a key sequence involving a letter to Amanda. (Amanda discovers the letter in "Saw III", "Saw VI" finally reveals its contents) -Both films involve two separate games going on at the same time involving different people that are revealed to be family in the climax. (In "Saw III", a twist reveals that Jeff and Lynn are husband and wife / In "Saw VI", you discover that William and the imprisoned reporter are siblings during the final act.) -Both films contain a theme of revenge. (Jeff in "Saw III" wanting revenge for his son's accidental death / The family of the man who died due to being refused coverage for a life-saving treatment want revenge on William) -The theme of revenge is acted upon in the final moments of the film. (Jeff kills Jigsaw / The son of the dead man kills William) -Both end with Jigsaw's apprentice being killed/nearly killed. (Amanda dies / Hoffman is severely wounded).
Question: Here's an interesting thought; Debbie was provided with a small power saw and told that to prevent a pipe piercing her skull, she would have to get a key, which is revealed to be in William's side. What was to stop her from simply using the saw to cut off the spear on her chest? Couldn't she have cut it off her chest, and had the harness taken off later?

Chosen answer: It's possible, but unlikely. 1) She was under great distress and might not have thought of that. 2) It would be easier (and more importantly, quicker) to cut through Easton's soft skin than the spear. 3) There is a good chance that tampering with the spear might have made it go off.
