Saw X (2023)

Trivia: After 19 years, this became the first film in the franchise to receive mostly positive reviews from critics. The original film was previously the best-reviewed entry in the franchise according to Rotten Tomatoes, but only received mixed reviews.

Saw X (2023)

Deliberate mistake: Per his autopsy in Saw IV, John Kramer was 52 years old at the time of his death, and this film takes place between Saw and Saw II. Tobin Bell was around 80 years old at the time of making this film, and thus looks far too old to convincingly play someone in their early 50s. Amanda Young also looks a lot older in this film compared to other entries in the franchise that are chronologically later.

Saw X (2023)

Trivia: As part of the film's marketing, the studio made a spoof of AMC Theaters' "We Come to This Place" commercial that plays just before films in their theaters start, with Billy the Puppet in place of Nicole Kidman. In response, AMC's CEO, Adam Aron, actually asked Lionsgate to pull the ad, to which the latter obliged.
