Just wanna point out that the classroom trap should be in the “murder” category because the door was wielded shut. Even if he had pulled out his jaw, Amanda made it so that he couldn’t escape at all
@@elscherix3099 True, but IF they had wanted it to work, they would’ve had him like put a chair through the ring and then kick it or something you know?
@@iitstre_4550 I think you would have to hook him up to a fairly powerful machine or wench for that. Kicking a chair is not gonna do much towards ripping out your own jaw, as it's a pretty big bone and, since he would have to rip it off completely to get that hook out, you would also have to tear through muscle and skin with force alone. You wouldn't be able to generate enough force without using some mechanical device or a machine and, that aside, you wouldn't be able to survive that kind of trauma afterwards
Honestly I think it's a plot hole that more people don't just tap out. Maybe they just don't mention those cases, but Jigsaw is specifically targeting people who don't value their life. I feel like you don't even have to be suicidal to choose death over horribly mangling yourself.
Wasn't that the whole point, I forget the the name of the girl, but she was his apprentice and she just rigged them to kill them no mater what. I believe
What really grinds my gears about the Bathroom Trap is the fact that Adam had next to no chance of winning. The second he emerged from the bathtub his key went down the drain. He had zero way of knowing the key was there and John just uses it as a "gotcha" moment at the end. Adam's lesson also makes no sense. What was he supposed to learn? Not to get out of bathtubs too quickly?
@@PeptoBismel I gave it a pass since it was the first movie but Adam got collectively fucked over as hard as the flammable jelly guy from the same movie. John trapped jelly guy for what amounted to a victimless crime. He was conning the exact same system he punished literally entire movies worth of victims over! "You collecting benefits like you sick so now you need to step on glass while trying to figure out a combination to get the antidote to a poison I gave to you". Mind you the combo for the safe was glow in the dark and wouldn't have illuminated the safe! Adam was an asshole but I was waiting for it to show how he was a habitual blackmailer and maybe was ruining innocent lives. Nope. His blackmail was for all intensive purposes preying on idiots who had no business doing what they were getting blackmailed over. Both got giga screwed for preying on assholes more or less. I'd play an insurance/benefits company that goes above and beyond to deny assistance as well. While most people wouldn't blackmail others for cheating we need to remind ourselves, the guy was cheating! He wasn't a saint. I don't think getting trapped with the guy you blackmailing and left for dead is exactly a fair punishment. Sorry for the rant but those two victims are the biggest offences to the series once you get to Saw 3 and everything afterwards.
For real though. That and the judge standing in front of the shotgun trap like a dumbass in Saw 3 are the two moments in this franchise that just make me go "Really guys? Come on!"
@@hanniballahr94 The main character in that movie is also infuriating because of how slooooowwwww he is. Like seriously, everyone in that movie dies because he meanders through saving them from the trap
watching this as someone who’s never seen any of the saw movies, i have to imagine what all of these traps do from the minimal context given, and it is both entertaining and deeply nauseating
A worker at a factory that I used to work at was scalped by a milling machine. She had real long hair and did not have it tied up. The machine scalped her from just above her eyes to the back of her neck. She bled to death. So yes, scalping can kill you.
That's sad and absolutely horrific. I'm sorry to hear about that. Although I can't say it surprises me, the head can actually bleed a lot, so blood loss in a situation like that trap is a real and deadly problem. So I agree that this trap is deadly. That's not to say you can't survive it, but the likeliness is slim in my opinion.
I disagree with only 1, "THE FURNACE" it wasn't just murder, inside was a devil painting with a handle, he just needed to turn it to escape the fire But he didn't inspect anything before grabbing the antidote and he didn't listen to the tape. But there was a way out
Same here. I also disagree with the razor box. You can hold the blades open with one hand, and stick your other hand through the same opening and grab the antidote without slicing your hands
@@joeyeisenhower7137 I don't think there was enough space for two arms/hands in one whole. Also, if she'd inspected the box carefully (nerve gas I know) she might have noticed the key at the top
@@joeyeisenhower7137 Yeah, I highly disagree with putting that in the "Murder" tier. I get that she wasn't really thinking straight because of the nerve gas, but it's not like she was forced to stick her hands in the box. If she hadn't done that, she would've been fine. It was her own actions and decisions that got her killed.
@@jasonfoth14 I don’t think she needed to put the other arm into the whole she could’ve used her fingers. Plus Xavier could have easily saved her it was just coincidental that he just found a way out.
i think it's important to take into consideration who made/set up the traps and their intentions, like when amanda set them up she often didn't give an option of survival
Yes and No... I believe you should look at IF the trap[s were not rigged to FAIL, could someone survive... And with some, Is the THEME appropriate! Take the Insurance Man, Many will die - PERIOD... The question there is is the Theme in keeping with his punishment? Is the game FAIR based on his twisted logic? Or, God Rest Him, Chester Bennington... The Car Trap - I forget what they called it... His character is a Criminal with a Gang who covers for him time and time again, Now their fate lies in his hands, If he cannot suffer his punishment and STOP the trap... They all die! Thematically does it fit and IS IT FAIR based on what they have all done? Those two traps and more - People will DIE, There is no other option there! It will happen! The one that bugged me for a long time was The Nerve Gas House... As Laura never actually got to see her trial - Maybe an oversight by Kramer... She was weaker and more susceptible to the Nerve Gas and he had not taken that into account... We never find out her role in everything, We never even see her trap - OR DO WE? Yeah, The Razor Box was supposed to be hers... From what I have found online and seemingly confirmed by tweets and comments from the creators... But the idea was dropped for her as they already had too many deaths and it would mean a longer running time, So she was killed earlier and Maddison takes her place... Which is why you never see her look in the envelope, She throws it away... That Trap was not meant for her! That one too many aspects were left to chance... It was VERY UNFAIR! OK, Thematically in keeping... But DAMN IT WAS UNFAIR!
@@Phoenix2312i like my own little theory that john originally set it up with the intention that no one would die, (either by making it look like they had died or they never were going to die) and the apprentices were really killing then or did something similar to what nelson was doing. i truly believe that john never intended for anyone to not be able to have some chance to make themselves live.
@@kirby8252 Honestly, John Kramer even does say that in his movies... The choice to live is their own! To Quote John Kramer "I never murdered anyone, Each of them had a chance but the lacked that instinct for survival" It is even shown when he puts Cecil in the "Knife Chair"... Cecil does push his face through and lives... But it is his ANGER that ends up killing him! John was going to set him free! However, I get where you are coming from - You believe that Kramer as more of a "Josh" from Until Dawn. I don't see that to be fair, but it is an understandable comparison.
@@kirby8252 Simple answer - Interesting! I have to be frank, I don't want to spoil the game for you - But trust me, If you like SAW, you will enjoy the game... It is one of those "Cinematic Games" where really you are not doing that much most of the time... But the story is so good it is well worth playing! Multiple endings too... So if you want to get the BEST ending, You will play it more than once... I know I am already doing that!
With the furnace trap, there was a way for Obi to survive. In Jigsaw’s message for him he said “once you’re in hell, only the devil can help you out.” By grabbing the second antidote in the furnace, yes the door closed, but there’s shot of a picture of a devil in the front door that says “turn” where there’s also a handle for him to turn, which presumably would turn off the fire, or open the door giving the people more time to get him out without him burning alive. Also if you follow Jigsaw’s instructions, he doesn’t lie in his traps, (unless it’s Amanda or Hoffman) so doing what he requested would definitely work.
I think the point was to see that before grabbing the antidote. That way the gas is shut off so pulling the lever will do nothing. Even if he shut off the gas and stopped the fire afterward, the furnace would be so hot from the little time the gas was on that by that point that he would die in there anyways.
@@mikegamikegathe devil or the valve weren't visible until the flames started because it was so dark, hence the "when you're already in hell" on the tape.
@@mikegamikegayou’re absolutely right! In the director’s commentary Bouseman explains that Obi died from blood boiling before he’s actually consumed by the flames.
The thing with the needle pit, Amanda was thrown in there and she used to be addicted to heroin as we all probably know, heroin comes in needles. So essentially Amanda was thrown back into her addiction, the psychological damage from that could genuinely break someone. Also, they are USED needles. So there’s a lot of pain, and getting infected with God-knows what diseases.
If she didn’t have HIV before, she did after that. I always thought about that in the movies after, and if her deteriorating appearance was a sign that she was sick.
i mean she probably set up that trap as she was already his apprentice, while i agree it hurts and is horrifying i doubt they were filled with any drugs because she was fine after it
I think I saw a different comment say that unless the needles were extremely fresh, she wouldn’t have gotten anything from them. It would still hurt in more ways than one, but she wouldn’t get diseases from them.
I'm way too squeamish to actually do some of the crap that traps require. If you tell me I need to cut off my leg, I am ripping that handcuff off the wall
@Mason Courneen haven’t you heard? Trumps not in the White House. Me saying I don’t like a rapist homophobic and racist dude doesn’t have to be about politics.
the one that always got me was, embarrassingly, the needle pit. i think it's because when i look at all the other traps, they're so far beyond my frame of reference and i would definitely die, i just can't fathom it. but being digging through needles? i can imagine exactly how much that would hurt so nope nope nope.
Weren’t those also used needles? On top of the pain you’d feel, there’s the psychological (and later, physical) horror of catching some disease from a needle that ducks you up for life even if you survive.
If I had to choose a SAW trap to compete in, it would possibly be the needle pit.. Wanna know why? I'd just take off all of my clothes and place them overboard the needles, and I usually wear sustainable, thick-like clothing (Leather jackets & denim trousers) so the needles are therefore less likely to pierce through. And as I wear leather gloves, it would be okay to rustle through the needles.
The main flaw that both of John Kramer’s apprentices had is they didn’t truly understand the purpose he had for the tests/games. They thought it was just some sort of punishment for bad people but it was really to change their perspective on life. John noticed this which is why he tested both of them on occasion to see if they were worthy(which they obviously weren’t) to continue his work.
But…it is a punishment for bad people. Jigsaw talked a big game about wanting to “help people”, and wanting to inspire an appreciation of life, but he was full of shit. So many of his victims are explicitly people who have wronged him personally, and so many more didn’t deserve to be put into his traps. Like, a friend of mine is currently watching the Saw movies from the start, and he was really confused when I told him that these movies portray Jigsaw as an anti-hero, and not just an uncontroversially evil bastard.
@@mikegamikegaif anything, they portray Jigsaw as cruel, but fair. As in, his traps are survivable, as long as you follow the instructions. His apprentices, though, mostly just wanted to watch people suffer and die without really giving them a chance out.
The trap with the barbed fish hook in her stomach that the guy had to rip out of her WITHOUT HER MAKING EXCESSIVE NOISE is so brutal. I’m fine with just about every other trap but thinking about that one makes me sick.
For me this trap has been the absolute worst of all of them. Maybe not from their perspective, but the way it was filmed it was so so so insane to watch. Still think about this trap sometimes
Personally, I would not put the furnace in murder because jigsaw specifically told Obi that there were two antidotes in the furnace and when he goes for the one that ends up closing the door on him you can see that he’s already holding two needles. So it’s basically his own greed that kills him.
@@msjkramey he already did. If you look in his left hand when he goes to grab the dose that caused the door to shut, you can see that he’s already holding two doses. His greed caused him to go for the third, which eventually killed him.
The silo is actually terrifying for me because that happens in real life and does kill farmers. With that much pressure on your body it's very difficult to breathe/for blood to flow, and if you try to move up, the grain will rip your body clean in half. Body's that have been recovered show severe blunt force trauma, like dislocated jaws and broken ribs.
@@Ancolyrica No it doesn't work like quicksand. Quicksand won't actually kill you, you will achieve buoyancy before that happens. This works like how people think quicksand works.
it reminded me of something that happened on the road i live on in the 90s. a kid was stirring the manure/fertilizer pit and he fell in. was missing for a bit before they found his belongings on the ground by the catwalk you stir on. he drowned in cow shit.
Definitely, she was the only person there that watched the news lmao. She would’ve totally survivors if she was in her right mind, and if Xavier wasn’t the one to find her.
Though isnt a trap in general, but is one massive inaccuracy with that whole one, there's not one person who'd survive inhaling sarin gas for more than 20minutes (30 at most). For the simple reason it blocks a certain chemical from being released that essentially leaves the body's muscles in the on position, causing peoples muscle (every single one in the body) to cramp. Firstly would cause someone to get that severe cramps to the point they'd collapse, then not being able to breathe. A typical reason for death is asphyxiation since the muscles required to allow the lungs to work wouldn't work.
The reason for its invention was during Nazi Germany, they imported most of their crop pesticides knowing they'd likely not be able to import any since countries wouldn't be able to, or just outright wouldn't supply them to them anymore due to the regime. I think was Hitler who ordered least one chemist at a lab to create a form of pesticide little did he know had created a nerve agent as a result, felt rather ill after creating it which is why yeah.... and is named after (each character of the name sarin's a character from each one of their names) the people involved in its development.
Same but something people forget about this trap all the time is that she didn't even needed to put her hands in because there was a lock to keep the box closed, and the key was just on the other side of the box. I still understand why she failed, but I wouldn't have put this one on murder, as it is pretty survivable imo
I feel like the brazen bull should have gone in the murder category, because even if the pectoral thing is survivable, the trap is meant to kill his wife not him. And she is innocent as far as we know. There was never any reason given for her to be in a test or trap, she was shown to be incredibly loyal, loving and supportive towards her husband. She didnt know her husband lied about his survival story. Her character was written to be a very pleasant woman. And she was captured and killed because her husband did something immoral
I hate how 8 is basically about this dude going through the trap he says he survives, but he at most suffers a bunch of superficial injuries and watches his "trophy wife" and colleagues die for his lie. At most, he recovers and lives with the guilt, but that feels against jigsaws philosophy in a way.
@@redgunnit Yes as I mentioned in my previous comment I've never been able to make sense of that poor woman being in that trap. It's a plot point I could never ignore. I love the Saw franchise, I really truly do. But in all honesty, I prefer the first few movies to the more recent ones. I especially love the few that involved Lee Whannel and James Wan. I've always loved their vision of John Kramer's story and felt that plot wise, the story has since gone downhill. That's not to say there aren't things I enjoy about the more recent films, nor are the first few perfect movies by any means. But I really do believe the writers sort of lost touch with John and his ways, especially with his philosophy and personal standards. With such a complex, mission orientated character such as Jigsaw, it's almost unforgivable to have such a conflicting plot point in the film. But that's just my opinion. Despite it, it's a fun movie to watch, can't say I hate it, but if I ranked the films it'd be at the bottom.
I’ve never been a big fan of the Saw franchise for many reasons. But in a sort of morbid curiosity I have always been interested in the traps themselves. A huge thanks to this video for satisfying that curiosity
The steam trap makes my skin crawl because unlike fire, steam doesn’t destroy nerve endings, so throughout the course of the trap you’re in constant excruciating pain.
@@spg9999 The only reason I personally prefer Amanda to Hoffman is because I think she has a far more interesting storyline and personality. Hoffman was just annoying to me, whereas Amanda felt emotionally charge and was interesting to watch.
Didn't the guy who was in the trap look at the door Hoffman was watching from behind and say "I did what I was supposed to do" before he was killed by it?
A lot of traps are murder by default. The Angel Trap, the Classroom, the Pendulum, and the Water Cube are all unbeatable without loopholes. Also, all the main traps in Saw VI require someone to die by design. Not the person being tested, but someone has to die in almost every major trap in that movie.
@@mawithaxdd Judging by the fact that Hoffman seems genuinely surprised and upset that he survived, I'm guessing he just happened to have a pen in his pocket.
@@ChibiProwl honestly being too scared to watch them for years, I just watched 1 and 2 and they weren’t nearly as gory or horrific as I expected, way more psychological than gore. Not sure about the rest of the movies!
That would be my first thought too, but realistically, if you just had a knife, that would be absolutely horrific top surgery. Just,,, open gaping wounds on your chest 🥴
I mean, imagine if in that cinematic universe there's a "saw insurance", if you ended up participating and surviving in a saw game, any related injuries would be insured then ta-da! Insured top surgery!
Tbh, I think all of Amanda’s traps would be classified as murder. That’s the whole dilemma between John and her, that she keeps setting up unwinnable traps.
Omg I am so glad someone else sees the brilliancy of the Pig Vat! It's unbelievably brutal for a trap where not a drop of blood is spilled. The symbolism, the sentimentality, the sheer level of gross... I love the gore but wish we got more of these. _And Cupid's Arrows too?_ I swear that one is so underrated it's almost criminal!
Similarly, it's the angel for me, ripping apart the rib cage is horrific, but at least it kills you pretty quickly. The Rack might not even kill you straight away, if at all if you can get bleeding under control. But the pain. Eugh...
i think the reverse bear trap was more of a test to see if amanda was worthy of being his apprentice, bc if not they couldve easily pulled a venus flytrap and put the key behind amandas eye or just in her body somrhow
A bit late to the party but you can 100% die from being scalped... The scalp essentially sits on a layer of loose connective tissue which allows you to raise your forehead in facial expressions. This loose tissue is filled with small blood vessels to provide a blood supply to the scalp. When the upper layers of the scalp are removed in a traumatic incident (as seen in scalping injuries), the connective tissue and the upper layers are separated opening all the small blood vessels causing significant blood loss if not treated immediately. Hope it helps!
You don't have to watch the movies to get an idea on what they are. Trust me, I've seen every single one and it didn't make a difference to me, they're just as gruesome and violent as you can imagine 😅 the plot really ain't it either, it doesn't even make sense after the third movie and it's just a bunch of useless plot twists and the traps get more gruesome each time so trust me, you ain't missing out unless you want to enjoy a bit of torture 😂
@@moonlight_sparkle6659 honestly the saw plot isn't that convoluted or hard to follow. you just have to pay a bit more attention than your average movie/series.
@@sonder006 It's really not but it's more so confusing. And the plot twists don't ever make sense to me. I'm not gonna spoil it for OP and those who haven't seen it yet but to me, it gets overused very quick.
Traps going into "Kevin McCallister": I don't know why I'm putting it there Me: Because that ranking has the most room for entries that don't overlap 🤣
Personally the razor wire trap is a definite let's play play game. That's not only terrifying but if I was suicidal I wouldn't go near another razor ever again. Not only that but it's actually pretty survivable and super effective in introducing who John Kramer is and what he does.
I don't want YT to recommend me videos like this randomly from people who aren't you (haha) yet I want to like your video so please accept this as my thanks. I found you recently and I really enjoy your videos, takes and personality. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth as well as everything to come afterwards!
The flammable jelly thing always bothered me because yeah, on top of the flammable jelly he had a slow-acting poison in him and it's like "Even with infinite time I probably would've died anyway"
The furnace was probably the most survivable in the whole franchise. Jigsaw said “Only the devil can save you” and there’s a drawing of the devil pointing to a valve saying “Twist” that most likely would’ve turn the furnace off. But the guy didn’t look around enough or try to solve the riddle, he just grabbed the keys. So not murder
Thats true and the fact that the girl leaves him to escape is the only thing that makes the final trap work as she is sedated and john kramer can help save the mans life by healing his stump wound. If she stays with the man he dies shes left alone in the barn not so cleverly thought out this part of the movie
The classroom trap fits the "murder" category better, since even if he somehow ripped out the ring in his jaw, the door was confirmed by the cops to be welded shut, so he wasn't going to escape either way.
I feel like i could probably escape, or atleast heighten my chances of survival. My strategy would be first try to handle all the pain of ripping out the chains, then with it in my jaw, grab the nail bomb and throw it in a corner to break the jar and lower the deadliness of it, then use nearby desks to build a wall or shelter to protect me, and see if i survive and wait for medical help.
@@bakedbeans3739the problem is that the trap was only found by the price because someone heard the nail bomb go off. When the detectives pick up the jaw ring, there is a gap in it. I'm not good enough at biology to be able to say if that gap could fit his jawbone through but it is possible. The unwinnable part, I imagine would be surviving the bomb going off, or receiving help in time if you break the bomb jar as no one would hear it explode and you'd quickly get weaker from bloodloss.
Wouldn't the razor box be one of the easiest to survive? Stick one hand in and use you other to push the blades up so they don't cut into you and pull out your arm? I mean, I get that under the given circumstances you might not make the best decisions but still.
@@pixelizedpear how the razors work you could just push with one of two fingers on one blade to hold them up it looks like it's made to where the blades move as one
@@Mario_Capone Yes they are. And yeah, you're right. I agree with you While you can't fit two hands in one, you could definitely fit a few fingers in to hold the razors up. Making it survivable.
I think Razor Box would absolutely be “I would survive” because you can get the antidote without sticking your hand in there. There is a lock in the back of the box, with the key still inside it! All she had to do was look around the trap!
As someone born and raised in the midwest. The grain silo trap is a bit more dangerous than you may think. Unless you knew to cover your mouth submerging your head would kill you quicker. No only does the weight start to crush your body, but also the dust that gets kicked up would suffocate you as well. Falling into a grain silo is something you are taught about when you work on the warm. Basically you treat it like quick sand. You try not to move as much to avoid sinking faster, and you have to cover your mouth so that you don’t inhale all the dust 27:06
Wasn't the reverse beartrap in Jill's case murder (and kinda falls under that for Hoffman as well, be it attempted murder) since both cases, they took away any normal chances of survival. Yes, Hoffman used the things around him to survive, but both were done with the purpose to be inescapable.
She probably watched the movies once, a few of the traps she mistakenly didn't place in murder, and she put the furnace trap in murder even though it was easy
@@marcmethner3110 And from what i heard about the marionette trap , wasn't the swat team racist and they instantly saw a black guy and 'assumed he was dangerous & armed', even though Samuel L Jackson's character was a retired cop himself i think ? , they instantly executed him *smdh* . So yeah i guess if you're white and the lighting is CLEAR you will survive then .
I think the reverse bear trap was more of a ploy to find an apprentice for jigsaw rather than an honest trap or test, like it was meant to see if this person could be capable of taking another life to teach a lesson
The whole point of SAW III was that Amanda wasn't testing people but just straight killing them. Her traps were just ment to sadistically kill, nothing more.
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741Hoffman didn't really make impossible parts except on some special situations, like his sister's boyfriend who was her murder (and I'll always justify him for that fr) and also the cube trap I'm pretty sure. Anything else that he did was winnable.
I love that you love the one in the classroom, with the abused wife and her husband. I feel it's extremely under-rated. I can't even explain why, but after the first time I saw it I felt drained... The way it's filmed, the tension, the emotional aspect, the way it's acted, everything about it is perfect. A pretty close second for me is the rack. Man, it's sooo intense!!!
Actually majority of the 2nd movies traps are some of the easiest to survive if the people actually worked together and investigated the traps more throughly.
You can easily get out of the Razor box trap without bleeding out. The way it's designed you can use your off hand to push up the blades up against the one side(the way it is you only really need one finger because when one blade is up it'll chain the rest up) while your main hand reaches in the same hole
It is even easier than that. The hand holes are a decoy. The lock that connects the box to the chains is on the back side of the box and still has the key in it.
Also she could easily get out of it if she wasn't alone. Everyone in that house, apart from Amanda and the kid, were only out for themselves. If she didn't walk into that room completely alone, someone could have helped her get her hands out of the box. A big thing about the traps in the house is, kinda like in Saw V, they basically all would've been completely survivable if the people in the house worked together to get all of the antidotes for each person, and paid more attention to what they were doing and listened to the "rules" before jumping straight into just trying to get the antidote for themselves. But that would require trust and faith that others will help you if you help them first, which is a huge gamble when the more that time passes, the more the poison takes effect in each of their systems. They knew whoever got the first antidote had no reason to help anyone else get one, so they all resorted to every man for themselves and they all died because of it.
Re: razor box: there's literally a key. Putting your hands in without looking seems like an extremely dangerous thing to do if you are within like six hundred miles of Jigsaw.
i’m pretty sure for the flammable jelly trap, you’re supposed to blow out the candle and the numbers are glow in the dark, and then you use the match to put in the combination
In the behind the scenes they show that the combination numbers are written slightly larger than all of the others. That's how he was supposed to spot them. I still think that is one of the most unfair traps. Not only does a single tea light provide very little light and he has no idea how to tell the combination from the other numbers even in the form of a cryptic clue, he is almost doomed to go up in flames. The safest option to me would be to not even touch the candle and try to open the safe by feeling and listening for the pins.
I'm sure it isn't a hot take to say that the bear trap doesn't belong so low, but I think it's just a difference in opinion. For me, three times is perfect. If they showed it again it would be too much, but showing people escape from it twice in vastly different ways is incredibly tense. Having the third time be when it actually works and we finally get to see it go off is satisfying for people who have been wondering what that would look like when we've seen it before.
Good point on the Reverse Bear Trap because most of the traps and even some of the tests has something to do with sacrificing something from yourself and not really sacrificing something or someone around you.
@@pyro7257 that was Amandas lover. which is one of the reasons i disagree with her opinion on it because it def takes an emotional toll on here and isn’t all that easy of a trap
110% agree with you on the Bear Trap. I've never understood why it was so hyped when she literally kills someone else and does not hurt herself AT ALL. With you on that one girl!
I also agree to some extent but you also need to understand the movies meanings/story line to understand that trap. The guy she killed is actually her lover she had to murder him to save her life plus this was a test made to survive as john wanted disiples and amanda fit perfectly into a position
The razor box is easy to escape, all she had to do was use her other hand to push open the flaps to let one out and do the same on the other hand and she could probably get out of it completely unharmed However the nerve gas definitely messed with her head
@@sophie427 felt that. hearing or reading about gore is grim enough but it's easier than seeing it. Especially traps like the rack, i can die happily knowing i've never witnessed it :D
I only have a few small disagreements. In Saw 2 the furnace shuts when Avi grabs a 3rd antidote when he’s only instructed to grab 2, it was the result of him disobeying. Classroom trap should 100% be murder, we find out through the investigation that the door was welded shut. And I absolutely agree that the wax trap from Spiral is 100% murder, my boyfriend and I agreed on that in theaters.
The Mausoleum is my favorite trap (minus the OG bathroom trap)- it just seems so scary not being able to communicate with someone and them not being able to see that you're trapped too. And all the effects are great (as per the usual) and idk it's my favorite.
The thing that really frustrates me about Amanda’s reverse beartrap test was that Jigsaw broke his own modus operandi of giving his victims a chance to live. That paralyzed guy had no chance whatsoever. Jigsaw absolutely had to have known Amanda would kill him to save herself, so its not like her choosing to sacrifice herself to save him was supposed to be his “chance”. Jigsaw straight up committed murder there
I didn't even realize until my second or third watch that the guy was alive. I don't remember now, but I'm pretty sure jigsaw said "you DEAD cellmate" not PARALYZED. I could be wrong though, but I'm about to rewatch allll the movies so I'll for sure seek out his dialogue because what the hell john
The bear trap is not the only trap where you just have to hurt someone else. Remember that hanging trap with the older woman who had lots of family and the younger fellow who didn't have much or any family at all? Actually, technically the one where he had to choose who to shoot I think counts too.
A lot of the traps you put in murder are actually beatable, they just had to follow the instructions. And a lot of unbeatable traps you didn't put them in murder
Congrats on the Sponsor! That is so epic to have such a large and well known company aware of your vids and want to sponsor you! Keep up the awesome work!
Fun stuff! Love revisiting these traps before X comes out. Gotta defend the nerve gas house from II! Furnace trap was totally winnable. It required turning around (albeit in a difficultly tight space, though the player was small) and crawling through some flames to turn off the gas valve. The longer you wait, the more flames emerge. If he'd quickly mind-over-mattered that it would have been an easy trap, +2 antidotes! Love the idea that is was meant to be an easier trap because that player 'helped jigsaw gather the others' and he still let his cowardice kill him. It's a shame about the razor box trap. Like ya mentioned, she was delirious and didn't even bother reading the note for the game. We'll never know how that was meant to go, or if it truly was just a booby trap like the magnum eyehole😭 Loved the earlier traps that felt winnable, or at least not pure torture murder 😂
lolll ty for this video. i saw saw x recently and it really resparked my love for this franchise and online "fandom" but i dont have time to rewatch everything so this was a great refresher! love this channel
this is so exciting I can’t wait to watch and hear ur opinions on all the traps also hope u rank all deaths in final destination that would be fun ! Love ur content thanks again queen
Congrats on the sponsor, so well deserved!! I laughed at your tone of voice when you said "he failed, she dies; everyone dies." so bluntly! You are hilarious!
Actually, in Saw 2, technically all the traps were not just "easy" to survive, but the characters actively did everything possible to screw it all up. With the furnace, the devil graffiti flatout showed him a way to turn it off. The razor box was also pretty much easy to survive, just use one hand to push the blades enough to grab the antidote with the other arm [or if they were working together, it'd be even easier]. Eric's test....well, of course it's super easy to survive, just try to keep calm.
Dont know my "favorite" but the merry go round always gets GOAT'd for me bc of how they were all turning on each other, lying, begging and crying until the dude deciding just broke. Such a wave of emotions in a few minutes
So this is just my opinion but to me I feel the “Razor Box” trap would go under lazy but effective, I just feel that compared to the other traps in Saw 2 I feel it’s kind of disappointing
I love your ranking videos so, so much. I can't bring myself to watch any of the Saw movies (I'm a wimp) so I'm glad that I get to experience all the traps without having to actually watch them, hahaha.
Luckily, the first one (the only good one imo) isn't gory or scary, it's just a horror/thriller. (Maybe I'm desensitized because I've watched it too many times to count)
What do you think is the most painful and disturbing trap? After watching the Saw franchise over again, the 10 PINTS OF SACRIFICE would be my worst fear, just imagine going through endless pain of pushing your hand and arm through saw blades, and to see my arm and hand being split in two, and the amount damage on your arms, just so nasty and scary.
i just finished watching Saw 1-7 for the first time today. i spent all day doing that and i'm so excited to know that there is more that i haven't seen
just to lyk: the furnace trap was winnable!! there was a valve for him to turn to stop it from starting up when he pulled the key, i’m pretty sure. it’s hard, but not impossible!
i think the razor hands trap in saw 2 also has the small detail that the key in the box was attached to the top and could be won without death by just unlocking it and opening it
Just wanna point out that the classroom trap should be in the “murder” category because the door was wielded shut. Even if he had pulled out his jaw, Amanda made it so that he couldn’t escape at all
Was it Amanda? I thought it was detective Hoffman
It was Amanda!
You also do not possess enough strength to rip out your own jaw, so there's that
@@elscherix3099 True, but IF they had wanted it to work, they would’ve had him like put a chair through the ring and then kick it or something you know?
@@iitstre_4550 I think you would have to hook him up to a fairly powerful machine or wench for that. Kicking a chair is not gonna do much towards ripping out your own jaw, as it's a pretty big bone and, since he would have to rip it off completely to get that hook out, you would also have to tear through muscle and skin with force alone. You wouldn't be able to generate enough force without using some mechanical device or a machine and, that aside, you wouldn't be able to survive that kind of trauma afterwards
They be fighting a little too hard to survive cause the second you put a bear trap on my head I give up
my ✨will to live✨ is simply not that strong

@@PossessedbyHorror Tbh, I would not be a good Jigsaw trapee, I would just sit there and wait to die lmao.
Honestly I think it's a plot hole that more people don't just tap out. Maybe they just don't mention those cases, but Jigsaw is specifically targeting people who don't value their life. I feel like you don't even have to be suicidal to choose death over horribly mangling yourself.

What really grinds my gears about the Bathroom Trap is the fact that Adam had next to no chance of winning. The second he emerged from the bathtub his key went down the drain. He had zero way of knowing the key was there and John just uses it as a "gotcha" moment at the end. Adam's lesson also makes no sense. What was he supposed to learn? Not to get out of bathtubs too quickly?
p sure he was supposed to learn to not take pictures of people for blackmail money
@@PeptoBismel I gave it a pass since it was the first movie but Adam got collectively fucked over as hard as the flammable jelly guy from the same movie. John trapped jelly guy for what amounted to a victimless crime. He was conning the exact same system he punished literally entire movies worth of victims over! "You collecting benefits like you sick so now you need to step on glass while trying to figure out a combination to get the antidote to a poison I gave to you". Mind you the combo for the safe was glow in the dark and wouldn't have illuminated the safe! Adam was an asshole but I was waiting for it to show how he was a habitual blackmailer and maybe was ruining innocent lives. Nope. His blackmail was for all intensive purposes preying on idiots who had no business doing what they were getting blackmailed over.
Both got giga screwed for preying on assholes more or less. I'd play an insurance/benefits company that goes above and beyond to deny assistance as well. While most people wouldn't blackmail others for cheating we need to remind ourselves, the guy was cheating! He wasn't a saint. I don't think getting trapped with the guy you blackmailing and left for dead is exactly a fair punishment. Sorry for the rant but those two victims are the biggest offences to the series once you get to Saw 3 and everything afterwards.
For real though. That and the judge standing in front of the shotgun trap like a dumbass in Saw 3 are the two moments in this franchise that just make me go "Really guys? Come on!"
@@hanniballahr94 The main character in that movie is also infuriating because of how slooooowwwww he is. Like seriously, everyone in that movie dies because he meanders through saving them from the trap
Amanda was the one who put the key on him. Later in the movies, she admits she is a m*rderer. I honestly think she didn't care
watching this as someone who’s never seen any of the saw movies, i have to imagine what all of these traps do from the minimal context given, and it is both entertaining and deeply nauseating

A worker at a factory that I used to work at was scalped by a milling machine. She had real long hair and did not have it tied up. The machine scalped her from just above her eyes to the back of her neck. She bled to death. So yes, scalping can kill you.
That's sad and absolutely horrific. I'm sorry to hear about that. Although I can't say it surprises me, the head can actually bleed a lot, so blood loss in a situation like that trap is a real and deadly problem. So I agree that this trap is deadly. That's not to say you can't survive it, but the likeliness is slim in my opinion.
Did you witness that in person or did you just hear about it? That's horrific
@@00Raven00 I started there right after it happened. Most people that witnessed it transferred out of that department.

I disagree with only 1, "THE FURNACE"
it wasn't just murder, inside was a devil painting with a handle, he just needed to turn it to escape the fire
But he didn't inspect anything before grabbing the antidote and he didn't listen to the tape. But there was a way out
Same here. I also disagree with the razor box. You can hold the blades open with one hand, and stick your other hand through the same opening and grab the antidote without slicing your hands
@@joeyeisenhower7137 I don't think there was enough space for two arms/hands in one whole. Also, if she'd inspected the box carefully (nerve gas I know) she might have noticed the key at the top
@@joeyeisenhower7137 Yeah, I highly disagree with putting that in the "Murder" tier. I get that she wasn't really thinking straight because of the nerve gas, but it's not like she was forced to stick her hands in the box. If she hadn't done that, she would've been fine. It was her own actions and decisions that got her killed.
@@raveng8217 also the box isn't even locked
@@jasonfoth14 I don’t think she needed to put the other arm into the whole she could’ve used her fingers. Plus Xavier could have easily saved her it was just coincidental that he just found a way out.
i think it's important to take into consideration who made/set up the traps and their intentions, like when amanda set them up she often didn't give an option of survival
Yes and No... I believe you should look at IF the trap[s were not rigged to FAIL, could someone survive... And with some, Is the THEME appropriate!
Take the Insurance Man, Many will die - PERIOD... The question there is is the Theme in keeping with his punishment? Is the game FAIR based on his twisted logic?
Or, God Rest Him, Chester Bennington... The Car Trap - I forget what they called it... His character is a Criminal with a Gang who covers for him time and time again, Now their fate lies in his hands, If he cannot suffer his punishment and STOP the trap... They all die! Thematically does it fit and IS IT FAIR based on what they have all done?
Those two traps and more - People will DIE, There is no other option there! It will happen!
The one that bugged me for a long time was The Nerve Gas House... As Laura never actually got to see her trial - Maybe an oversight by Kramer... She was weaker and more susceptible to the Nerve Gas and he had not taken that into account... We never find out her role in everything, We never even see her trap - OR DO WE?
Yeah, The Razor Box was supposed to be hers... From what I have found online and seemingly confirmed by tweets and comments from the creators... But the idea was dropped for her as they already had too many deaths and it would mean a longer running time, So she was killed earlier and Maddison takes her place... Which is why you never see her look in the envelope, She throws it away... That Trap was not meant for her!
That one too many aspects were left to chance... It was VERY UNFAIR! OK, Thematically in keeping... But DAMN IT WAS UNFAIR!
@@Phoenix2312i like my own little theory that john originally set it up with the intention that no one would die, (either by making it look like they had died or they never were going to die) and the apprentices were really killing then or did something similar to what nelson was doing. i truly believe that john never intended for anyone to not be able to have some chance to make themselves live.
@@kirby8252 Honestly, John Kramer even does say that in his movies... The choice to live is their own!
To Quote John Kramer "I never murdered anyone, Each of them had a chance but the lacked that instinct for survival"
It is even shown when he puts Cecil in the "Knife Chair"... Cecil does push his face through and lives... But it is his ANGER that ends up killing him! John was going to set him free!
However, I get where you are coming from - You believe that Kramer as more of a "Josh" from Until Dawn. I don't see that to be fair, but it is an understandable comparison.
@@Phoenix2312 i haven’t played until dawn, what was josh like?
@@kirby8252 Simple answer - Interesting! I have to be frank, I don't want to spoil the game for you - But trust me, If you like SAW, you will enjoy the game... It is one of those "Cinematic Games" where really you are not doing that much most of the time... But the story is so good it is well worth playing!
Multiple endings too... So if you want to get the BEST ending, You will play it more than once... I know I am already doing that!
With the furnace trap, there was a way for Obi to survive. In Jigsaw’s message for him he said “once you’re in hell, only the devil can help you out.” By grabbing the second antidote in the furnace, yes the door closed, but there’s shot of a picture of a devil in the front door that says “turn” where there’s also a handle for him to turn, which presumably would turn off the fire, or open the door giving the people more time to get him out without him burning alive.
Also if you follow Jigsaw’s instructions, he doesn’t lie in his traps, (unless it’s Amanda or Hoffman) so doing what he requested would definitely work.
I AGREE!!!!! I was kinda confused
I think the point was to see that before grabbing the antidote. That way the gas is shut off so pulling the lever will do nothing. Even if he shut off the gas and stopped the fire afterward, the furnace would be so hot from the little time the gas was on that by that point that he would die in there anyways.
I've seen these movies soooo many times, and I've never once noticed this. Now I gotta go watch it again to see it for myself!
@@mikegamikegathe devil or the valve weren't visible until the flames started because it was so dark, hence the "when you're already in hell" on the tape.
@@mikegamikegayou’re absolutely right! In the director’s commentary Bouseman explains that Obi died from blood boiling before he’s actually consumed by the flames.
The thing with the needle pit, Amanda was thrown in there and she used to be addicted to heroin as we all probably know, heroin comes in needles. So essentially Amanda was thrown back into her addiction, the psychological damage from that could genuinely break someone. Also, they are USED needles. So there’s a lot of pain, and getting infected with God-knows what diseases.
If she didn’t have HIV before, she did after that. I always thought about that in the movies after, and if her deteriorating appearance was a sign that she was sick.
i mean she probably set up that trap as she was already his apprentice, while i agree it hurts and is horrifying i doubt they were filled with any drugs because she was fine after it
I think I saw a different comment say that unless the needles were extremely fresh, she wouldn’t have gotten anything from them. It would still hurt in more ways than one, but she wouldn’t get diseases from them.
I'm way too squeamish to actually do some of the crap that traps require. If you tell me I need to cut off my leg, I am ripping that handcuff off the wall

Same!!!
and the razor box…
Weren’t those also used needles? On top of the pain you’d feel, there’s the psychological (and later, physical) horror of catching some disease from a needle that ducks you up for life even if you survive.
@@TheNwr1 probably were used needles knowing how fucked up kramer is.
If I had to choose a SAW trap to compete in, it would possibly be the needle pit..
Wanna know why? I'd just take off all of my clothes and place them overboard the needles, and I usually wear sustainable, thick-like clothing (Leather jackets & denim trousers) so the needles are therefore less likely to pierce through. And as I wear leather gloves, it would be okay to rustle through the needles.
The main flaw that both of John Kramer’s apprentices had is they didn’t truly understand the purpose he had for the tests/games. They thought it was just some sort of punishment for bad people but it was really to change their perspective on life. John noticed this which is why he tested both of them on occasion to see if they were worthy(which they obviously weren’t) to continue his work.
But…it is a punishment for bad people.
Jigsaw talked a big game about wanting to “help people”, and wanting to inspire an appreciation of life, but he was full of shit.
So many of his victims are explicitly people who have wronged him personally, and so many more didn’t deserve to be put into his traps.
Like, a friend of mine is currently watching the Saw movies from the start, and he was really confused when I told him that these movies portray Jigsaw as an anti-hero, and not just an uncontroversially evil bastard.
The root problem is that John trusted unhinged criminals to help him rig his traps. Lmao
The movies don’t portray him as an anti-hero. John and his cult followers portray him that way, which of course they would.
@@mikegamikega The amount of Saw fans I’ve talked to who believe that Jigsaw has a cogent political philosophy…
@@mikegamikegaif anything, they portray Jigsaw as cruel, but fair. As in, his traps are survivable, as long as you follow the instructions. His apprentices, though, mostly just wanted to watch people suffer and die without really giving them a chance out.

For me this trap has been the absolute worst of all of them. Maybe not from their perspective, but the way it was filmed it was so so so insane to watch. Still think about this trap sometimes

"You mocked other people's suffering time for you to experience what they went through so I would like to play a game"
I mean the dude got a guy in his 50's bc he smoked lmao
Personally, I would not put the furnace in murder because jigsaw specifically told Obi that there were two antidotes in the furnace and when he goes for the one that ends up closing the door on him you can see that he’s already holding two needles.
So it’s basically his own greed that kills him.

Thankyou for pointing out the difference between "traps" and "tests!"

The silo is actually terrifying for me because that happens in real life and does kill farmers. With that much pressure on your body it's very difficult to breathe/for blood to flow, and if you try to move up, the grain will rip your body clean in half. Body's that have been recovered show severe blunt force trauma, like dislocated jaws and broken ribs.
Doesn’t it even work like quicksand? Like the more you move, the deeper so sink in?
@@Ancolyrica Yes, but because of all the air inbetween the grain you can fall down very quick
@@Ancolyrica No it doesn't work like quicksand. Quicksand won't actually kill you, you will achieve buoyancy before that happens. This works like how people think quicksand works.
it reminded me of something that happened on the road i live on in the 90s. a kid was stirring the manure/fertilizer pit and he fell in. was missing for a bit before they found his belongings on the ground by the catwalk you stir on. he drowned in cow shit.
For the classroom trap it was jaw, Achilles tendons, and the door was welded shut. Amanda for real just wanted him to die
9:30 I think people forgot Addison was a smart-ish character when we met her. Blame the gas for her decision with the razor box
Definitely, she was the only person there that watched the news lmao. She would’ve totally survivors if she was in her right mind, and if Xavier wasn’t the one to find her.
Though isnt a trap in general, but is one massive inaccuracy with that whole one, there's not one person who'd survive inhaling sarin gas for more than 20minutes (30 at most). For the simple reason it blocks a certain chemical from being released that essentially leaves the body's muscles in the on position, causing peoples muscle (every single one in the body) to cramp. Firstly would cause someone to get that severe cramps to the point they'd collapse, then not being able to breathe. A typical reason for death is asphyxiation since the muscles required to allow the lungs to work wouldn't work.
The reason for its invention was during Nazi Germany, they imported most of their crop pesticides knowing they'd likely not be able to import any since countries wouldn't be able to, or just outright wouldn't supply them to them anymore due to the regime. I think was Hitler who ordered least one chemist at a lab to create a form of pesticide little did he know had created a nerve agent as a result, felt rather ill after creating it which is why yeah.... and is named after (each character of the name sarin's a character from each one of their names) the people involved in its development.
Same but something people forget about this trap all the time is that she didn't even needed to put her hands in because there was a lock to keep the box closed, and the key was just on the other side of the box.
I still understand why she failed, but I wouldn't have put this one on murder, as it is pretty survivable imo
She's a prostitute. Definitely not smart.
I feel like the brazen bull should have gone in the murder category, because even if the pectoral thing is survivable, the trap is meant to kill his wife not him. And she is innocent as far as we know. There was never any reason given for her to be in a test or trap, she was shown to be incredibly loyal, loving and supportive towards her husband. She didnt know her husband lied about his survival story. Her character was written to be a very pleasant woman. And she was captured and killed because her husband did something immoral
I hate how 8 is basically about this dude going through the trap he says he survives, but he at most suffers a bunch of superficial injuries and watches his "trophy wife" and colleagues die for his lie. At most, he recovers and lives with the guilt, but that feels against jigsaws philosophy in a way.
@@redgunnit Yes as I mentioned in my previous comment I've never been able to make sense of that poor woman being in that trap. It's a plot point I could never ignore. I love the Saw franchise, I really truly do. But in all honesty, I prefer the first few movies to the more recent ones. I especially love the few that involved Lee Whannel and James Wan. I've always loved their vision of John Kramer's story and felt that plot wise, the story has since gone downhill. That's not to say there aren't things I enjoy about the more recent films, nor are the first few perfect movies by any means. But I really do believe the writers sort of lost touch with John and his ways, especially with his philosophy and personal standards. With such a complex, mission orientated character such as Jigsaw, it's almost unforgivable to have such a conflicting plot point in the film. But that's just my opinion. Despite it, it's a fun movie to watch, can't say I hate it, but if I ranked the films it'd be at the bottom.
Same with Allison Kerry and the Angel trap
And the classroom trap and Troy
Yeah, Bobby would've been the one I chosen to die over all of those colleagues and of course his wife.

A lot of traps are murder by default. The Angel Trap, the Classroom, the Pendulum, and the Water Cube are all unbeatable without loopholes. Also, all the main traps in Saw VI require someone to die by design. Not the person being tested, but someone has to die in almost every major trap in that movie.
They probably did the “someone has to die” thing on purpose to show that these were Hoffman traps

but remember that the man he had to save in the pig vat was the judge that worked in his deceased son's case and only gave the killer 5 months mmm
Didn't they say accidental murder. He would get a lesser sentence but def more than 5 months.
i think the reverse bear trap was more of a test to see if amanda was worthy of being his apprentice, bc if not they couldve easily pulled a venus flytrap and put the key behind amandas eye or just in her body somrhow
I like to imagine jigsaw watching this video like a performance review and getting sad any time a trap is deemed lazy lmao
A bit late to the party but you can 100% die from being scalped... The scalp essentially sits on a layer of loose connective tissue which allows you to raise your forehead in facial expressions. This loose tissue is filled with small blood vessels to provide a blood supply to the scalp. When the upper layers of the scalp are removed in a traumatic incident (as seen in scalping injuries), the connective tissue and the upper layers are separated opening all the small blood vessels causing significant blood loss if not treated immediately. Hope it helps!
ty for answering this because ever since i saw this i was wondering lmaoo
You can die from it with no intervention..I just don't know why the cop didn't shoot at her hair lol.
Not me sitting here watching this having seen zero Saw movies - no idea what they're about - just because I miss Sarah videos.
I have never watched any Saw movies, I just want cool funny torture trap death inspiration.
You don't have to watch the movies to get an idea on what they are. Trust me, I've seen every single one and it didn't make a difference to me, they're just as gruesome and violent as you can imagine 😅 the plot really ain't it either, it doesn't even make sense after the third movie and it's just a bunch of useless plot twists and the traps get more gruesome each time so trust me, you ain't missing out unless you want to enjoy a bit of torture 😂
@@moonlight_sparkle6659 honestly the saw plot isn't that convoluted or hard to follow. you just have to pay a bit more attention than your average movie/series.
@@sonder006 It's really not but it's more so confusing. And the plot twists don't ever make sense to me. I'm not gonna spoil it for OP and those who haven't seen it yet but to me, it gets overused very quick.
Traps going into "Kevin McCallister": I don't know why I'm putting it there
Me: Because that ranking has the most room for entries that don't overlap 🤣
Personally the razor wire trap is a definite let's play play game. That's not only terrifying but if I was suicidal I wouldn't go near another razor ever again. Not only that but it's actually pretty survivable and super effective in introducing who John Kramer is and what he does.
i think i would rock with it only if i was wet beforehand because then it would shave my legs for me💅
I don't want YT to recommend me videos like this randomly from people who aren't you (haha) yet I want to like your video so please accept this as my thanks.
I found you recently and I really enjoy your videos, takes and personality. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth as well as everything to come afterwards!
The flammable jelly thing always bothered me because yeah, on top of the flammable jelly he had a slow-acting poison in him and it's like "Even with infinite time I probably would've died anyway"
Some people die in grain bins even without any traps. The grain forms a cave which collapses into a sink hole and they're gone.

The furnace was probably the most survivable in the whole franchise. Jigsaw said “Only the devil can save you” and there’s a drawing of the devil pointing to a valve saying “Twist” that most likely would’ve turn the furnace off. But the guy didn’t look around enough or try to solve the riddle, he just grabbed the keys. So not murder
Yea, not to mention he didn't even scope it out
The leg wire is Actually not survivable. Cutting your leg off at that point would sever an artery In your leg leaving you to bleed out very quickly
Thats true and the fact that the girl leaves him to escape is the only thing that makes the final trap work as she is sedated and john kramer can help save the mans life by healing his stump wound. If she stays with the man he dies shes left alone in the barn not so cleverly thought out this part of the movie
The classroom trap fits the "murder" category better, since even if he somehow ripped out the ring in his jaw, the door was confirmed by the cops to be welded shut, so he wasn't going to escape either way.
I feel like i could probably escape, or atleast heighten my chances of survival. My strategy would be first try to handle all the pain of ripping out the chains, then with it in my jaw, grab the nail bomb and throw it in a corner to break the jar and lower the deadliness of it, then use nearby desks to build a wall or shelter to protect me, and see if i survive and wait for medical help.
@@bakedbeans3739the problem is that the trap was only found by the price because someone heard the nail bomb go off. When the detectives pick up the jaw ring, there is a gap in it. I'm not good enough at biology to be able to say if that gap could fit his jawbone through but it is possible. The unwinnable part, I imagine would be surviving the bomb going off, or receiving help in time if you break the bomb jar as no one would hear it explode and you'd quickly get weaker from bloodloss.
omg I just know this video is going to be great
Hey Queen!
I thought so to, I watched it and am led to believe her research consisted of wikipedia and youtube.
Wouldn't the razor box be one of the easiest to survive? Stick one hand in and use you other to push the blades up so they don't cut into you and pull out your arm? I mean, I get that under the given circumstances you might not make the best decisions but still.
There wasn't enough room to fit a 2nd hand in the same hole
@@pixelizedpear how the razors work you could just push with one of two fingers on one blade to hold them up it looks like it's made to where the blades move as one
@@Mario_Capone Yes they are. And yeah, you're right. I agree with you
While you can't fit two hands in one, you could definitely fit a few fingers in to hold the razors up. Making it survivable.
Wow I never thought about that.....are YOU John Cramer or sumn? Seems a little sus to me.
@@thebrideofghostface maybe maybe not
I think Razor Box would absolutely be “I would survive” because you can get the antidote without sticking your hand in there. There is a lock in the back of the box, with the key still inside it! All she had to do was look around the trap!
I think that the unfair traps should have their own category
it does, ‘murder’
As someone born and raised in the midwest. The grain silo trap is a bit more dangerous than you may think. Unless you knew to cover your mouth submerging your head would kill you quicker. No only does the weight start to crush your body, but also the dust that gets kicked up would suffocate you as well. Falling into a grain silo is something you are taught about when you work on the warm. Basically you treat it like quick sand. You try not to move as much to avoid sinking faster, and you have to cover your mouth so that you don’t inhale all the dust 27:06
Wasn't the reverse beartrap in Jill's case murder (and kinda falls under that for Hoffman as well, be it attempted murder) since both cases, they took away any normal chances of survival. Yes, Hoffman used the things around him to survive, but both were done with the purpose to be inescapable.
hoffman made sure, knowing he escaped from jills inescapable one, that jill wouldnt be so lucky this time and stands there watching her die
She probably watched the movies once, a few of the traps she mistakenly didn't place in murder, and she put the furnace trap in murder even though it was easy
@@marcmethner3110 And from what i heard about the marionette trap , wasn't the swat team racist and they instantly saw a black guy and 'assumed he was dangerous & armed', even though Samuel L Jackson's character was a retired cop himself i think ? , they instantly executed him *smdh* . So yeah i guess if you're white and the lighting is CLEAR you will survive then .
@@gemstar7286 the trap made him lift a gun at the cops as they come in so from the cops perspective dood was dangerous
sponsored by lionsgate? HELL YEAH! proud of you, sarah!
Literally screamed that when she said it, I was like get yo money Sarah!
The Saw movies literally make me sick and I'm way too squeamish for them, but imma watch this because I need to hang with you for a bit today 😅
i hope u have a great day!
Big same I can't deal with them at all but it's cool to hear about the wild crap that goes down
Glad I'm not the only one who does this
Me too I hate horror movies but the plots are interesting aaa
The SAW franchise for me is not mostly about the traps but the story line and how it's woven between all the movies.
I think the reverse bear trap was more of a ploy to find an apprentice for jigsaw rather than an honest trap or test, like it was meant to see if this person could be capable of taking another life to teach a lesson
The whole point of SAW III was that Amanda wasn't testing people but just straight killing them. Her traps were just ment to sadistically kill, nothing more.
same as the Hoff
Hoffman framed her to do that. Not really her choice. Well she had a choice but looked up to John and couldn't bare him knowing the truth
Same as kramer’s
@@doggosuchwow1593Hoffman didn't make her do impossible traps. He made her kill Lynn. The traps were all her.
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741Hoffman didn't really make impossible parts except on some special situations, like his sister's boyfriend who was her murder (and I'll always justify him for that fr) and also the cube trap I'm pretty sure. Anything else that he did was winnable.
The person amanda had to hurt for the Reverse Bear trap wasn't a stranger, but it was her old cell mate from prison.
I don’t think she would’ve cared if it was him or her..
I love that you love the one in the classroom, with the abused wife and her husband. I feel it's extremely under-rated. I can't even explain why, but after the first time I saw it I felt drained... The way it's filmed, the tension, the emotional aspect, the way it's acted, everything about it is perfect.
A pretty close second for me is the rack. Man, it's sooo intense!!!
If John tried to get me I'd just be like... man you really do not have a clue how tired I am. I'll set this damn trap off myself LMAO
Actually majority of the 2nd movies traps are some of the easiest to survive if the people actually worked together and investigated the traps more throughly.
You can easily get out of the Razor box trap without bleeding out. The way it's designed you can use your off hand to push up the blades up against the one side(the way it is you only really need one finger because when one blade is up it'll chain the rest up) while your main hand reaches in the same hole
It is even easier than that. The hand holes are a decoy. The lock that connects the box to the chains is on the back side of the box and still has the key in it.
@jakestone8818 oh ya I'm aware but if you fall for it and put your hand in its still easy to get out of that was my point
She didn't even need to put both in that's why the trap was for her. She's greedy and doesn't use smarts or analyze things
She would have been able to push the blades down with her free hand
Also she could easily get out of it if she wasn't alone. Everyone in that house, apart from Amanda and the kid, were only out for themselves. If she didn't walk into that room completely alone, someone could have helped her get her hands out of the box. A big thing about the traps in the house is, kinda like in Saw V, they basically all would've been completely survivable if the people in the house worked together to get all of the antidotes for each person, and paid more attention to what they were doing and listened to the "rules" before jumping straight into just trying to get the antidote for themselves. But that would require trust and faith that others will help you if you help them first, which is a huge gamble when the more that time passes, the more the poison takes effect in each of their systems. They knew whoever got the first antidote had no reason to help anyone else get one, so they all resorted to every man for themselves and they all died because of it.
I would probably put everything in 'kill me now'
Re: razor box: there's literally a key. Putting your hands in without looking seems like an extremely dangerous thing to do if you are within like six hundred miles of Jigsaw.
And she didn’t even listen to the tape! Sorry about the very late response.
KEVIN MCALLISTER 💀
i’m pretty sure for the flammable jelly trap, you’re supposed to blow out the candle and the numbers are glow in the dark, and then you use the match to put in the combination
What no
When did they say that the numbers glowed?
@@TulpechaidoplaysMC "I'm pretty sure" indicates that that's a theory 🥲
that actually makes sense
In the behind the scenes they show that the combination numbers are written slightly larger than all of the others. That's how he was supposed to spot them.
I still think that is one of the most unfair traps. Not only does a single tea light provide very little light and he has no idea how to tell the combination from the other numbers even in the form of a cryptic clue, he is almost doomed to go up in flames. The safest option to me would be to not even touch the candle and try to open the safe by feeling and listening for the pins.
I'm sure it isn't a hot take to say that the bear trap doesn't belong so low, but I think it's just a difference in opinion.
For me, three times is perfect. If they showed it again it would be too much, but showing people escape from it twice in vastly different ways is incredibly tense. Having the third time be when it actually works and we finally get to see it go off is satisfying for people who have been wondering what that would look like when we've seen it before.
Yess girl a lionsgate sponsorship! 🦁 we love to see it ✨
Good point on the Reverse Bear Trap because most of the traps and even some of the tests has something to do with sacrificing something from yourself and not really sacrificing something or someone around you.
but I thought the person Amanda was murdering was like her partner or soul mate or something?? didn't he say that on the tape?
@@pyro7257 that was Amandas lover. which is one of the reasons i disagree with her opinion on it because it def takes an emotional toll on here and isn’t all that easy of a trap
@@newdesires he was her cellmate, not her soulmate. They were aquaintances, not together.
110% agree with you on the Bear Trap. I've never understood why it was so hyped when she literally kills someone else and does not hurt herself AT ALL. With you on that one girl!
I also agree to some extent but you also need to understand the movies meanings/story line to understand that trap. The guy she killed is actually her lover she had to murder him to save her life plus this was a test made to survive as john wanted disiples and amanda fit perfectly into a position
The razor box is easy to escape, all she had to do was use her other hand to push open the flaps to let one out and do the same on the other hand and she could probably get out of it completely unharmed
However the nerve gas definitely messed with her head
Me, who hasn't seen any of the Saw movies and can't stand gory stuff: This seems like an interesting video!
Me, not having watched all of these and trying to figure out what they all do: 👁👁
Yeah same
Me, who feels this way but also hates horror and is extremely squeamish:
👁👁
@@sophie427 felt that. hearing or reading about gore is grim enough but it's easier than seeing it. Especially traps like the rack, i can die happily knowing i've never witnessed it :D
I only have a few small disagreements. In Saw 2 the furnace shuts when Avi grabs a 3rd antidote when he’s only instructed to grab 2, it was the result of him disobeying.
Classroom trap should 100% be murder, we find out through the investigation that the door was welded shut.
And I absolutely agree that the wax trap from Spiral is 100% murder, my boyfriend and I agreed on that in theaters.
The Mausoleum is my favorite trap (minus the OG bathroom trap)- it just seems so scary not being able to communicate with someone and them not being able to see that you're trapped too. And all the effects are great (as per the usual) and idk it's my favorite.
The thing that really frustrates me about Amanda’s reverse beartrap test was that Jigsaw broke his own modus operandi of giving his victims a chance to live. That paralyzed guy had no chance whatsoever. Jigsaw absolutely had to have known Amanda would kill him to save herself, so its not like her choosing to sacrifice herself to save him was supposed to be his “chance”. Jigsaw straight up committed murder there
I didn't even realize until my second or third watch that the guy was alive. I don't remember now, but I'm pretty sure jigsaw said "you DEAD cellmate" not PARALYZED. I could be wrong though, but I'm about to rewatch allll the movies so I'll for sure seek out his dialogue because what the hell john
The bear trap is not the only trap where you just have to hurt someone else. Remember that hanging trap with the older woman who had lots of family and the younger fellow who didn't have much or any family at all? Actually, technically the one where he had to choose who to shoot I think counts too.
A lot of the traps you put in murder are actually beatable, they just had to follow the instructions. And a lot of unbeatable traps you didn't put them in murder
She could’ve put the classroom one in the kill me now simply because she liked it more and it was a tier system, who knows.
I read somewhere that the razor box was actually unlocked, but John knew that they would be too sick to actually take the time to look.
The classroom trap was rigged from the start, as we later find out the door was welded shut. Str8 up murder.
Congrats on the Sponsor! That is so epic to have such a large and well known company aware of your vids and want to sponsor you! Keep up the awesome work!
Fun stuff! Love revisiting these traps before X comes out.
Gotta defend the nerve gas house from II! Furnace trap was totally winnable. It required turning around (albeit in a difficultly tight space, though the player was small) and crawling through some flames to turn off the gas valve. The longer you wait, the more flames emerge. If he'd quickly mind-over-mattered that it would have been an easy trap, +2 antidotes! Love the idea that is was meant to be an easier trap because that player 'helped jigsaw gather the others' and he still let his cowardice kill him.
It's a shame about the razor box trap. Like ya mentioned, she was delirious and didn't even bother reading the note for the game. We'll never know how that was meant to go, or if it truly was just a booby trap like the magnum eyehole😭
Loved the earlier traps that felt winnable, or at least not pure torture murder 😂
lolll ty for this video. i saw saw x recently and it really resparked my love for this franchise and online "fandom" but i dont have time to rewatch everything so this was a great refresher! love this channel
this is so exciting I can’t wait to watch and hear ur opinions on all the traps also hope u rank all deaths in final destination that would be fun ! Love ur content thanks again queen
yes FD video is coming!
@@PossessedbyHorror omg yes, the content i signed up for, yeeees
Im literally watching jigsaw right now. Also i just bought spiral and it comes it Thursday
Congrats on the sponsor, so well deserved!!
I laughed at your tone of voice when you said "he failed, she dies; everyone dies." so bluntly! You are hilarious!
The chaos of your tier categories is everything to me 🥲
Actually, in Saw 2, technically all the traps were not just "easy" to survive, but the characters actively did everything possible to screw it all up.
With the furnace, the devil graffiti flatout showed him a way to turn it off. The razor box was also pretty much easy to survive, just use one hand to push the blades enough to grab the antidote with the other arm [or if they were working together, it'd be even easier]. Eric's test....well, of course it's super easy to survive, just try to keep calm.
Dont know my "favorite" but the merry go round always gets GOAT'd for me bc of how they were all turning on each other, lying, begging and crying until the dude deciding just broke. Such a wave of emotions in a few minutes
So this is just my opinion but to me I feel the “Razor Box” trap would go under lazy but effective, I just feel that compared to the other traps in Saw 2 I feel it’s kind of disappointing
a thirty minute saw video... basically christmas morning!
I love your ranking videos so, so much. I can't bring myself to watch any of the Saw movies (I'm a wimp) so I'm glad that I get to experience all the traps without having to actually watch them, hahaha.
I tried describing this one trap to my dad (the classroom one) and he couldn't handle me saying what it was lol, so you're doing better than him haha.
@@thebrideofghostface a few of these made me wince in pain, like the eyeball ones and the box of razors, hahaha. Owwwww.
Luckily, the first one (the only good one imo) isn't gory or scary, it's just a horror/thriller. (Maybe I'm desensitized because I've watched it too many times to count)
What do you think is the most painful and disturbing trap? After watching the Saw franchise over again, the 10 PINTS OF SACRIFICE would be my worst fear, just imagine going through endless pain of pushing your hand and arm through saw blades, and to see my arm and hand being split in two, and the amount damage on your arms, just so nasty and scary.
i just finished watching Saw 1-7 for the first time today. i spent all day doing that and i'm so excited to know that there is more that i haven't seen
Hell yeah a Lionsgate Sponsorship let's gooooo! That's so awesome Sarah congrats!!! 💚
Edit: Omg the Kevin category 😂
If I had to go... it would be the shot gun collar. No limbs lost, just a (messy) safe way to go haha.
And you'd probably be dead pretty fast, so yk, it's not like torture.
just to lyk: the furnace trap was winnable!! there was a valve for him to turn to stop it from starting up when he pulled the key, i’m pretty sure. it’s hard, but not impossible!
i think the razor hands trap in saw 2 also has the small detail that the key in the box was attached to the top and could be won without death by just unlocking it and opening it
“It was tense. Definitely had a tense buildup. But yknow what else has a tense buildup? Home Alone.” Love it lol
