Saw IV (2007)

Question: I don't understand the flow of the film at all; at the beginning, Jigsaw's dead body is in the autopsy room and Hoffman is present. Yet at the end of the film, Strahm has only just discovered Jigsaw's body in the position he died in in the third film. Consequently, I don't see how the beginning of the fifth film makes much sense either. Help?

Answer: The events of Saw III and Saw IV are actually happening at the same time.

Answer: It is because of the plot twist at the end, where we find out that Saw III and Saw IV take place simultaneously.
