    These 2 are the foundation of Saw. If it wasnt for just the two simple geniuses there would be no SAW...wow, smart dudes man. Thank you james and leigh very much.

      If any one remembers death sentence Kevin bacon I loved that movie. The violence the intensity that movie made me respect James wans craft in films. To me he is close to the modern day Stephen King he may not write books but his movies are creepy and classics like Stephen King books

      It isn't an accent, dumbass. It's called not having an accent. We Californians not consider ourselves to have an accent, therefore it is dropping an accent , not having an american one. There is no standard American Accent. There is southern accents and NO accents, etc.

      I remember hearing from somewhere that when they finished the editing and showed the final scene to James he had to leave the room, because Leigh’s screaming was so heart-wrenching. Idk if it’s true, considering he’s the director and was in the room when Leigh was screaming his head off, but I imagine it must be different seeing the final cut.

    Leigh sure can talk🙂 So cool when people meet and become friends and collaborate together and make their dreams come true. Twenty years later, producing SAW X and it’s one of the best in the Franchise. I want to look up how they landed Tobin Bell for the first film? Was anyone else considered for the role of John Kramer? Hats off to Lionsgate for giving new talent and ideas an opportunity, and taking some risks on people.

Don’t make excuses for people you admire!

      People being disrespectful to me by spewing obscenities to my face is as important to me as a nuclear war!

    Saw had my interest up until the guy saws his own foot off. Fucking ridiculous. Nobody is able to do that. Your body goes into shock from the pain, and if you continue you pass out. Especially if you do it with a slow ass hacksaw. Shit like that needs to go quickly before your senses can ever react. Then of course you have to deal with not bleeding out in less than 2 mins.

      DR Gordon did it in a state of temporary insanity. He did it as quick as humanly possible for him. His increased adrenaline level helped with not going into shock and they show in SAW VII that he used a superhot steam pipe to cauterize the stump so he doesn't bleed out to death. AND THE SEVENTH SAW FILM ALSO SHOWS THAT HE DID PASS OUT A FEW MINUTES AFTER SAWING HIS OWN FOOT OFF. IF CRAMER HADN'T SAVED HIM AT THE RIGHT TIME, HE WOULD HAVE DIED.
