Not really, the reasonable way to attempt survival is to look into as many rooms as possible and gauging which traps look more reasonably doable (like the hand trap) such that they can start getting antidotes.
@@theraven268 No, that isn't fair criticism. The first trap, the handgun, was probably meant to kill nobody. It's there to establish the simple "follow my rules and you will be ok". As for exploring the rooms, it is established by the first room alone that some doors are on timers, so the whole house may not have been accessible from the start. On the next note, the stress combined with the toxin seems to have more than physical effects. The simplest traps, like the box with blades or pit of needles, may have opened as rooms only after the toxin has taken enough effect to weaken the participants.

@@matthewcollins4773 Think his logic is this person that doesn't value their life are made to do an ordeal to show how much they care to live but because of the suicide attempt he does over the top lethal ordeals, and at most he's doing assisted suicide but never murder because clearly they didn't care about their life. I feel like it would jive more if it was more like the first movie than the over the top traps. Especially since in later movies it's do this in X minutes or this person dies or you need to decide which of you dies like the 2 guys and the woman with the sliding saws.
If beefcake mc strongman had just explained that they all had numbers on the back of their heads instead of trying to kill everybody, they wouldve gotten out with only 2 dead
He'd still need to figure out a way to get his own but that was going to be a problem regardless. Could have worked on a plan to get that. Like finding a mirror and breaking off a piece. Or worst case scenario, do what he ended up doing anyway to get his number. Or they all work together and somehow decide who gets it. Even if you're not the one who got that antidote, your odds become increasingly better each time. No different than if they had successfully acquired any of the others.
Also he didnt need to slice his skin off right after the girl taunted him about it. Like i know your dying because of the toxin but save your blood until after getting the mext 2 numbers
Could've secretly gotten the numbers off everyone else first, then pretended to solve the riddle on the spot and asked someone to check his neck for the number to confirm if he's right
With the giving them a free antidote thing they suggested, it would have been interesting if they had decided to give it to the kid because they felt protective of him being the youngest having to go through this. Only to find out he was the son of the guy that wronged all of them. They could have conversations about how they had showed him the humanity that his father never showed them and hes defensive at first but less and less so as more of the details of what his father did to them comes out. Then they could later on when they are starting to lose hope they will ever get a cure, and with some decisons the kids made, come to resent doing what they thought was the right thing, saving the kid and start transposing their feelings of resentment about the father onto the kid. "He's selfish just like his father" "He would leave us here to die even when he's the only one that's cured, there's no timer on his life but he'd leave us without a thought" these sort of sentiments. Could be an interesting look into how humans can be kind and moral when it's safe, but turn cut-throat and selfish when they believe they are threatened. Only to have the whole posion/cure thing be bullshit and that's how you get the "do nothing to win" angle. They turned on each other just cause they thought they were in trouble, the whole crabs in a bucket thing.
@Pie3766 It's amazing how that simple fix would have actually gone a long way to making the movie more impactful. I'd also have them explore the house more and actually get to know these folks who are stuck within the house. As for the cop-storyline; why not have it be where Jigsaw is able to interact with the folks inside the house as well and maybe have Matthew searching for his son, and we get hints of his darker dealings? Seriously, anything better than what we got.
@@Avarn388 Its like they got one of the worst writers to come up with this who only knows what others have done but doesn't understand the ideas behind them. Or they got one of the best writers and gave them the goal of "make these good ideas as shit as possible" without letting on that's what your're doing. It's like Malignants is it serious or parody all over again haha.
Yeah. Either drop the kidnapped son -- because the lesson of "your thoughtless aggression and impatience screws you over" only works if the detective *isn't* personally invested in a way that fully justifies those traits for once -- or have the lesson be "you planted evidence to put these people away because you consider people like them irredeemable scum of the earth, but see the decency and sacrifice they show, saving *your son*" (bonus points if they knew that fact when they gave him the antidote). Which would force Detective guy to acknowledge that, damn it, Jigsaw is in fact teaching him a lesson, the bastard. As it is, the plot and the lesson are sadly just confused.
Fun fact: back in the 80s Donnie wahlberg was way more famous than Mark Wahlberg, being a member of arguably the first ever boy band "new kids on the block" Whose hits included the seminary "hangin tough" and "please dont go girl". Seeing the potential for buff fellas doing white man hiphop, Mark; who was also a founding member of the New KIds On The Block before their meteoric rise; ( It is rumored he left the band over a dispute regarding the bands name ,stating at the time "The name wasnt funky enough and they wouldn't let me rap" although i may have made that up) Mark Wahlberg then struck out on his own, with his catchy moniker "Marky Mark" and rose to a much lower level of pop fame, but with a modicum of success with his band "Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch" as one of the very early white rap artists but never achieved the success of the likes of vanilla Ice who had become arguably the worlds most famousest rapper at that point. Without the Wahlbergs we would likely never have seen the likes of Eminem. True visionaries in the world of white boy R&B/HipHop. Although Mark these days is known to get quite upset if you call him "Marky Mark" or ask him to spit a few bars. Sadly ,Noone knows what became of the funky bunch however, much like Donnie they slipped into obscurity never to be seen again. Perhaps they are to be found in the Saw franchise somewhere? Edit. From what i just learned "marky mark" triggers the man due to him trying to murder and old vietnamese man with a 2 by 4 whilst he carried that moniker, so if you chance upon marky mark...be sure to call him that, loudly, but be ready to defend yourself...
@@Soapy-chan "arguably" thats "ARGUABLY". As in ARGUMENT , which is what you are doing now. No dont thank me, at your service. I almost made the beatles joke myself as it was going begging tbh. Really triggers fans of the fab four. But its low hanging fruit. If you like those sort of jokes, next time you see someone poncing about in an Audi TT. Say "thats a nice beetle". Did you see what i did there? No. No need for applause.
I'd argue his "beating of an aged Vietnamese man with a 2x4 until his eye popped out of its socket" is what causes Mark to be enraged at the mention of Marky Mark or his eponymous Funky Bunch.

You have thirty seconds to take the next freeway exit. If you do not, the next exit is five miles away, and will add another fifteen minutes to your trip. The choice is yours
Doesn't Jigsaw's "I never killed anyone" fall apart in this very movie? The sick girl died of the gas he was pumping into the house. She never got a test or failed a choice, he directly killed her.
Well he didn't seem that bothered about slashing Tripp's throat in the first film. Or killing that guy with the drills, how was he supposed to get out without someone to reach that box of keys?
Yeah, he didn't kill her, the gas did. He wasn't even in the same area code as her, your Honour. Really that girl was weak for not being able to muscle through Jigsaw's Xtreme Trauma Therapy. She *chose* to continue breathing that air, so it's her fault, if anybody's. She was asking for it. Just look at what she was wearing. I rest my case.
First time i saw that seen i had some real issues, still can't watch someone shoot up or get blood drawn on tv. Tho, its a bit lesser now since i got joel'd in the face with a 9 iron and had a bunch of reconstructive dental work. Blood work still gets me, i sweat like crazy and lose all function/feeling in my arms when i have to go get it done.
I wonder what jigsaw's reaction would be if one of the people woke up before everyone else, freaked out, and killed everyone before he even got to ask if they were up for a game.
"Hello there. Oh. OH. Um, well, I guess that spoils my plans for tonight. Gimme a minute." (elevator music version of the Saw theme) "Ok, ok, I got this now, right. Um, HULK THUGSWORTH...you, um, murdered a lot of people just then. That's kinda mean. So, um...you need to put your, um, head in that oven. Or I'll delete your Netflix account."
A channel called “Jeaney Collects” has done 20+ “Jigsaw gone wrong” clips. They’re about 20-60s each and they’re pretty funny. Like what if a trap that was setup wasn’t working and whatnot.
I can't blame YMS for making the crispy comment. In a forensics class I had, there was a picture of an actual burnt corpse in the textbook, but the fact it was holding a beer can made me crack up. Morbid humor, I guess.
Ahhh they made it one movie and a half before you had to have Jigsaw be an omniscient god to make the plot work, and oh my, does it only get worse and more insane in that regard. You may think this is silly but Buckle up shit is about to get real, real silly. It's awesome for every single wrong reason
‘It’s just spring loaded, right?” Well, There are some VERY powerful Springs out there… you pit enough tension on a thick guage of coil spring, you’d be unable to overpower it. ^.-.^
Ugh the movie where they really try to drive home the whole "hE DOeSnT KIlL pEoPle" argument. At least Tobin Bell is good. And Wahlbergers is pretty good as well.
I don't think it starting doing that until later. Yes, he says it in this film but at this point it's not saying he's right, that's just his view on it
@@jcore0981 I don't think it necessarily does. Jigsaw says he's not, then Donnie Wahlberg counters that "holding a gun to someone's head and making them pull the trigger is still murder." Amanda also says he's not actually a killer, but then she's not exactly unbiased, is she?
tobin really is the best thing to come out of the saw franchise. must have been kinda fucked for him when in every movie he's on a ticking clock himself, going into the next sequel wondering if this is his last movie in the series. especially a few movies after this, when he's splayed out on the table. like how do i keep doing this character after all this? he's a good actor, too bad he didn't really get any good roles until so late in his life/career. probably could've done pretty well for himself as a voice actor.
Oh my God... I just fucking realized. When Wahlberg asked Jigsaw where his son was, he said, "in a safe place." Literally. God damn it. (In my defense, I remember very, very little about these movies)
What they should have done was just focus on the house; have it be 72 hours until the doors open, and the poison will kill you in a week or so but be irreversible after the 72 hours. the house is riddled with puzzles and traps (if you'll pardon the pun), each has one or two antidotes and there are more antidotes in total than you need. Each puzzle has time limit of X minutes after you start it, but you have 72 hours to investigate everything in the house and plan your approach. Then the game becomes a matter of this group of people who got where they are by being inherently selfish and bad at decision making having to work together to succeed.
5:40 This is probably one of the easiest traps to cheese. All he had to do was prevent the two sides of the trap from snapping together. Pressing his face against the TV would have prevented the trap from killing him because it can't close properly.
They get bad enough to become funny at times. Definitely peaks with 1 in terms of actual quality though. And no, I'm not saying that one is particularly good either...
I feel compelled to point out that the mid-2000s wallet chain was half pickpocket prevention device, half fashion statement; the statement being that you were cool enough to go into dangerous areas where you might need to be worried about being pickpocketed.
I honestly cant help it but whenever mauler and crew say "i wouldve done this in this SAW trap" all i can think of the self defense meme of "i would naruto run at the armed robber and wall run to dodge the bullets"
In this one Mauler says he probably would be doing exactly what the first guy in the Death Mask was doing. Most of the time they're saying the obvious solution that the characters are ignoring because the plot wants them to die.
This house is so confusing. It's not really that difficult to bust all the way through a wall. I guess if it's concrete house or maybe brick, but even then. Like this permanently locked metal door...just...punch through the wall between the studs and bust away the house's siding. It might take you a little bit, but it's not like jumping into a pit full of dirty syringes.
I remember reading about Saw II in a TV magazine as a kid/young teenager, and they talked about the beartrap and how he had to get the key from his eye. I thought he actually did get it out and saved himself... Idk if I misremember or the magazine messed up... And yeah it didn't make me want to watch these movies I can stand a lot, but eyes are off limit for me
11:40 The only reason I remember Dead Silence is because the trailer played quite a bit and scared the shit out of me as a kid. Never seen the movie, but still get I small chills when I see the cover. I also found the Goosebumps book Night of the Living Dummy to be one of the scarier ones (along with Creeps. The one where the protag turns his entire school into lizard people.)
Dead Silence was annoying because of its pacing. It tries to have this mystery but plods along, playing out like a puzzle videogame where you have to backtrack several times to progress. Then there's the big reveal at the end and it just gets dumber.
Tobin Bell played a character in Stargate: SG1 a few years before the first Saw. If anyone has heard of "Tollans", then you know his character was the smartest one. My head-canon is his character turned into Jigsaw due to his people's stupidity.
@@CameronFulbright The later seasons had lots of issues unfortunately. especially the whole The ancient ones retcon stuff. Atlantis I think was good to the end, but had its tisms in between. At least the characters made it worth to watch it, I'd prefer less of the wraith though.
That quest was the GOAT. I can't remember the number of times I replayed just to see all the different character interactions depending on which order they died
Wait... so if the cop dude killed Jigsaw in a rage, he wouldn't have gotten captured AND he'd get his son, and the evil lady would just be cosplaying in tub somewhere. As much as i hate the first one's twist, at least i could see a 'way' that it's safe for Jigsaw to be in that position. And wow, the Doctor dude from the first one really left the other guy behind... kinda damages that movie, imo. the first one was meh but I like parts of it. This one just felt like a downgrade, too much dumb horror people and the gore-factor doesn't do anything for me. I assume it''s all downhill from here.
Not sure if they were trying to rip on Repo with that clip but all the bad singing is easily made up for by the good singers on the cast. Then again I'm a bit biased towards that film and its whole aesthetic.
@@EpicJasonX9000 "Would have" becomes "would've" when using contractions. "Would of" doesn't exist. Also, it's "seen" and not "saw" in this context. You should probably workshop your puns a little.
Jigsaw: "I'm not a murderer." Bro, when you inject someone with a poison, and tell them how to get an antidote, but they don't make it in time, YOU'VE MURDERED THEM!
As irritating as the one guy screaming during the raid on jigsaws compound is. I am happy that they had them continued to scream because I always hate when someone's grievously injured and then just don't react after they're off screen
I ironically, I am a fan of Blue Bloods. Not anything to cause a great fuss about, but as Fringy said, it is a consistent show with some interesting things to say about modern police work and law enforcement in general.
Movie trivia: that needle pit scene was real! the prop guys fucked up big time, most of the needles are fake, but they also had real ones for the establishing shots/ close up, and the prop guys left those in by mistake. At least half of those needles in her are real and the actress just tanked it for the shot dicaprio style and they ran with it.
Doing a bit of research, there's a little bit of truth in this. As for the pit itself, it was entirely safe. The needles (all 120,000 of them) were all replaced with fiber optic tips that looked real enough, but were harmless. There was also crash pad material and styrofoam padding in it to help reduce the impact of the fall. As for where the myth comes from, right before filming, a crewmember accidentally knocked a package of real needles into the pit. This was noticed however, and they simply halted filming to find them all. The director said it was like "finding a needle in a needle stack." To reiterate, the actress never got hurt, somebody just knocked some needles in by accident, and they were fished out before filming.
@@HolyApplebutterthat begs the question of why were there real needles on a movie set at all, and the followup question of why were said real needles anywhere near the pit of exclusively fake needles.
Let me pitch a SAW MOVIE. SAW XXI. Opens up on a beautiful forest, we go along the sky arriving to a town on a plane. Once we arrive and see people disembarking, its got press waiting. It seems this town has been waiting for the FBI to arrive and help find the missing city council. who suspected or known, is incredibly corrupt. So then we cut to the SAW games where the council wakes up (and possibly this is taking a bit in the past, so it cuts between the past during the games, and the present in the parts where the FBI are looking.) and we start to have the story of who they are and what they are doing revealed as they have to do tasks working together, and working selfishly for a limited supply of foods to keep up the energy. They are in a trap that they are told will last 20 days, and they have to survive, similar to how they make the people of their town survive, on low budget foods and other things due to thier criminal management of the costs of things, and basically running a very tight business circle where they pay people enough to survive but not much else, not even to leave. And its this twisted game with every day having some of the best food options available only if they risk thier lives in a deadly trap to get it. And they start to get desperate and go for it because they have a few members who are spoiled and refuse to lower themselves to more survival style foods, ramen etc.. They want more decent protein rich food that tastes good. And they stupidly lose someone that way that changes everything. That is when the game changes and the lights change to red in the underground survival shelter they are in, it is massive and built under the forest. Now they are warned they have 3 days to get out, or they will never get out. so we cut to the fbi investigating what happened and where they could be, thats when the investigation starts to open up all the corruptions and actually cause some chaos in the town, and we ... well thats how i would take it to just be a different style story.
wouldn't even need to tie in with Jigsaw himself, a simple copycat who has personal grudges against the corrupt city councilors would work just as well.
18:57 "He's very bad at..." Look, I won't defend this movie too much, but this is the _one_ character in this movie I can forgive for being unprofessional and overly emotional. His _son_ is in grave risk of death. And not just regular death, but extra-messed-up one.
Funny enough, there’s a behind the scenes feature for the original SAW where the cast & crew mentioned that Billy The Puppet had a bigger trailer than Danny Glover. No joke. XD
That whole point of it being another movie before it was turned into Saw II makes so much sense. It has such a 'made for DVD' from the early 2000's vibe

I never give Rags enough credit, just when I’m thinking he’s cringe again he breaks out “you never skip lung day” and I’m laughing about it for days
With the giving them a free antidote thing they suggested, it would have been interesting if they had decided to give it to the kid because they felt protective of him being the youngest having to go through this. Only to find out he was the son of the guy that wronged all of them. They could have conversations about how they had showed him the humanity that his father never showed them and hes defensive at first but less and less so as more of the details of what his father did to them comes out. Then they could later on when they are starting to lose hope they will ever get a cure, and with some decisons the kids made, come to resent doing what they thought was the right thing, saving the kid and start transposing their feelings of resentment about the father onto the kid. "He's selfish just like his father" "He would leave us here to die even when he's the only one that's cured, there's no timer on his life but he'd leave us without a thought" these sort of sentiments.
Could be an interesting look into how humans can be kind and moral when it's safe, but turn cut-throat and selfish when they believe they are threatened. Only to have the whole posion/cure thing be bullshit and that's how you get the "do nothing to win" angle. They turned on each other just cause they thought they were in trouble, the whole crabs in a bucket thing.
@Pie3766 It's amazing how that simple fix would have actually gone a long way to making the movie more impactful. I'd also have them explore the house more and actually get to know these folks who are stuck within the house. As for the cop-storyline; why not have it be where Jigsaw is able to interact with the folks inside the house as well and maybe have Matthew searching for his son, and we get hints of his darker dealings? Seriously, anything better than what we got.
@@Avarn388 Its like they got one of the worst writers to come up with this who only knows what others have done but doesn't understand the ideas behind them. Or they got one of the best writers and gave them the goal of "make these good ideas as shit as possible" without letting on that's what your're doing. It's like Malignants is it serious or parody all over again haha.
Yeah. Either drop the kidnapped son -- because the lesson of "your thoughtless aggression and impatience screws you over" only works if the detective *isn't* personally invested in a way that fully justifies those traits for once -- or have the lesson be "you planted evidence to put these people away because you consider people like them irredeemable scum of the earth, but see the decency and sacrifice they show, saving *your son*" (bonus points if they knew that fact when they gave him the antidote). Which would force Detective guy to acknowledge that, damn it, Jigsaw is in fact teaching him a lesson, the bastard. As it is, the plot and the lesson are sadly just confused.
@@matthewcollins4773 Already sounds like a better premise.
Fun fact: back in the 80s Donnie wahlberg was way more famous than Mark Wahlberg, being a member of arguably the first ever boy band "new kids on the block"
Whose hits included the seminary "hangin tough" and "please dont go girl".
Seeing the potential for buff fellas doing white man hiphop, Mark; who was also a founding member of the New KIds On The Block before their meteoric rise; ( It is rumored he left the band over a dispute regarding the bands name ,stating at the time "The name wasnt funky enough and they wouldn't let me rap" although i may have made that up)
Mark Wahlberg then struck out on his own, with his catchy moniker "Marky Mark" and rose to a much lower level of pop fame, but with a modicum of success with his band
"Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch" as one of the very early white rap artists but never achieved the success of the likes of vanilla Ice who had become arguably the worlds most famousest rapper at that point.
Without the Wahlbergs we would likely never have seen the likes of Eminem.
True visionaries in the world of white boy R&B/HipHop.
Although Mark these days is known to get quite upset if you call him "Marky Mark" or ask him to spit a few bars.
Sadly ,Noone knows what became of the funky bunch however,
much like Donnie they slipped into obscurity never to be seen again.
Perhaps they are to be found in the Saw franchise somewhere?
Edit.
From what i just learned "marky mark" triggers the man due to him trying to murder and old vietnamese man with a 2 by 4 whilst he carried that moniker, so if you chance upon marky mark...be sure to call him that, loudly, but be ready to defend yourself...
how is an 80s band supposed to be the first boyband?

Did you see what i did there?
No. No need for applause.
I'd argue his "beating of an aged Vietnamese man with a 2x4 until his eye popped out of its socket" is what causes Mark to be enraged at the mention of Marky Mark or his eponymous Funky Bunch.
The Saw franchise makes so much more sense if you imagine it takes place in the As Seen on TV infomercial universe. There’s gotta be a better way!

It's good EFAP Movies count as a movie festival, else YMS wouldn't be able to watch Saw.
Wow, Tobin Bell's normal voice in interviews is way more gentle than is Jigsaw voice.
I now want John Kramer as a voice setting on a GPS and/or my cell phone.

A legal u-turn... or is it, lieutenant.
You have thirty seconds to take the next freeway exit. If you do not, the next exit is five miles away, and will add another fifteen minutes to your trip.
The choice is yours
Doesn't Jigsaw's "I never killed anyone" fall apart in this very movie? The sick girl died of the gas he was pumping into the house. She never got a test or failed a choice, he directly killed her.
You are not supposed to question this though. Jigsaw is always right, remember that.
To be fair the movie doesn't say he's right when he states he's not a killer. That's just his view on it
Well he didn't seem that bothered about slashing Tripp's throat in the first film. Or killing that guy with the drills, how was he supposed to get out without someone to reach that box of keys?
Yeah, he didn't kill her, the gas did. He wasn't even in the same area code as her, your Honour. Really that girl was weak for not being able to muscle through Jigsaw's Xtreme Trauma Therapy. She *chose* to continue breathing that air, so it's her fault, if anybody's. She was asking for it. Just look at what she was wearing.
I rest my case.

First time i saw that seen i had some real issues, still can't watch someone shoot up or get blood drawn on tv. Tho, its a bit lesser now since i got joel'd in the face with a 9 iron and had a bunch of reconstructive dental work. Blood work still gets me, i sweat like crazy and lose all function/feeling in my arms when i have to go get it done.
It's weird seeing the actual Jigsaw after watching countless Saw parodies.
Everytime Tobin Bell smiles, an angel gets its wings.
Donnie beating the shit out of jigsaw is one of the best moments of the franchise.
Ooof, the irony of YMS calling anyone a man-child
I wonder what jigsaw's reaction would be if one of the people woke up before everyone else, freaked out, and killed everyone before he even got to ask if they were up for a game.
"Hello there. Oh. OH. Um, well, I guess that spoils my plans for tonight. Gimme a minute." (elevator music version of the Saw theme) "Ok, ok, I got this now, right. Um, HULK THUGSWORTH...you, um, murdered a lot of people just then. That's kinda mean. So, um...you need to put your, um, head in that oven. Or I'll delete your Netflix account."
@@CruelestChris”The joke’s on you, I was on borrowed time anyway. I was password-sharing!”
A channel called “Jeaney Collects” has done 20+ “Jigsaw gone wrong” clips. They’re about 20-60s each and they’re pretty funny. Like what if a trap that was setup wasn’t working and whatnot.
I love how mauler and co are reacting to the jigsaw traps like an old school d&d party going through a dungeon
5:04 Fun fact: This sound would be used as that jumpscare sound for Fnaf 2
I can't blame YMS for making the crispy comment. In a forensics class I had, there was a picture of an actual burnt corpse in the textbook, but the fact it was holding a beer can made me crack up. Morbid humor, I guess.
It’s coping. You need to joke to keep sane. Morticians have pretty sick sense of humour. My ex friend was one.. and it was disturbing asf
Ahhh they made it one movie and a half before you had to have Jigsaw be an omniscient god to make the plot work, and oh my, does it only get worse and more insane in that regard. You may think this is silly but Buckle up shit is about to get real, real silly. It's awesome for every single wrong reason
Kinda want a that's just silly clip to play during these efap movies
@@SilvrSavior Monty Python has a good clip for that, Chapman dressed as an Army Officer "stop that, its too silly"

Obi corrects the pronunciation to his name but jigsaw just says “O B” as the tape plays immediately after. Jigsaw loves trolling

Well, There are some VERY powerful Springs out there… you pit enough tension on a thick guage of coil spring, you’d be unable to overpower it. ^.-.^
Mauler losing it at 37:31 is absolute gold
Ugh the movie where they really try to drive home the whole "hE DOeSnT KIlL pEoPle" argument. At least Tobin Bell is good. And Wahlbergers is pretty good as well.
I don't think it starting doing that until later. Yes, he says it in this film but at this point it's not saying he's right, that's just his view on it
@cyberleader6074 Yeah maybe. I just remember this one pushing it.
@@jcore0981 I don't think it necessarily does. Jigsaw says he's not, then Donnie Wahlberg counters that "holding a gun to someone's head and making them pull the trigger is still murder." Amanda also says he's not actually a killer, but then she's not exactly unbiased, is she?
tobin really is the best thing to come out of the saw franchise. must have been kinda fucked for him when in every movie he's on a ticking clock himself, going into the next sequel wondering if this is his last movie in the series. especially a few movies after this, when he's splayed out on the table. like how do i keep doing this character after all this? he's a good actor, too bad he didn't really get any good roles until so late in his life/career. probably could've done pretty well for himself as a voice actor.
@@eviscerationshe's on the table in the next one
not enough whips and chains in this one✊🏿 I do like that one of the victims in this one gets a cameo in a later film.
7:14 my favorite scene transition in the history of cinema. no cap it’s amazing it’s too bad later sequels went overboard on the transitions lol.
two movies in a row released at night when i'm doing night shifts... you massives
Feels good man. Enjoy spooktober
It's okay rags, I'm not watching either. Only listening. And it's still unpleasant.
Please combine the Jigsaw shaking the cup to Det. Wallberg with Jacob's "Whadja bring me?"
Oh my God... I just fucking realized. When Wahlberg asked Jigsaw where his son was, he said, "in a safe place."
Literally.
God damn it.
(In my defense, I remember very, very little about these movies)
What they should have done was just focus on the house; have it be 72 hours until the doors open, and the poison will kill you in a week or so but be irreversible after the 72 hours. the house is riddled with puzzles and traps (if you'll pardon the pun), each has one or two antidotes and there are more antidotes in total than you need. Each puzzle has time limit of X minutes after you start it, but you have 72 hours to investigate everything in the house and plan your approach. Then the game becomes a matter of this group of people who got where they are by being inherently selfish and bad at decision making having to work together to succeed.
5:40 This is probably one of the easiest traps to cheese. All he had to do was prevent the two sides of the trap from snapping together. Pressing his face against the TV would have prevented the trap from killing him because it can't close properly.
Then what?
The evolution of the Batwoman outros is something cs188 would be proud of

Watching the behind the scenes for these movies is fascinating.
I love that 'the cringe voice' is just Tobin Bell's normal voice.
I would never do an Escape Room with any of those victims, smh.
After Saw 1 and not liking it (I did watch it on my own after efap) I really don't have any hope for the sequels.
They get bad enough to become funny at times. Definitely peaks with 1 in terms of actual quality though.
And no, I'm not saying that one is particularly good either...
They are very funny if you treat them as a comedy.
...Who pays for the electricity?
Yay, the next installment of epic gamer Jigsaw teaching a bunch of noobs how to git gud in life!
I feel compelled to point out that the mid-2000s wallet chain was half pickpocket prevention device, half fashion statement; the statement being that you were cool enough to go into dangerous areas where you might need to be worried about being pickpocketed.
Hell, I still use a wallet chain.
It also comes from Bikers who wear them for obvious reasons.
Donnie Wahlberg played Lip in Band of Brothers!
Please don't forget that! D:
When the badm'n cuts out his number in the ONE room that's established to have a one-way mirror.
Why did i like this movie.
I honestly cant help it but whenever mauler and crew say "i wouldve done this in this SAW trap" all i can think of the self defense meme of "i would naruto run at the armed robber and wall run to dodge the bullets"
In this one Mauler says he probably would be doing exactly what the first guy in the Death Mask was doing. Most of the time they're saying the obvious solution that the characters are ignoring because the plot wants them to die.
This house is so confusing. It's not really that difficult to bust all the way through a wall. I guess if it's concrete house or maybe brick, but even then. Like this permanently locked metal door...just...punch through the wall between the studs and bust away the house's siding. It might take you a little bit, but it's not like jumping into a pit full of dirty syringes.
The needles scene is the most memorable moment of the whole franchise for me. Don't know why...
Reminds me of San Francisco ^.-.^
@@Beuwen_The_Dragon Eh, not enough poop
Fear of needles is a pretty common thing.
Donnie Wahlberg > Marky-Mark.
He was only in _Sixth Sense_ for 2 minutes and he killed it. Not to mention _Band of Brothers._
Hes good in band of brothers
7:00 I was never cool enough to have a wallet chain but I see how young you guys are now lol
Jigsaw just giggling to himself when he said the kid is in the corner in a safe place
I don't know why I would need to use a grenade for kaggle exercises before I realize that life is precious but Jiggy seems to think that is the case.
"Every time you hit me, a device stimulates my prostate." Lmao!!! 😂😂😂
I remember reading about Saw II in a TV magazine as a kid/young teenager, and they talked about the beartrap and how he had to get the key from his eye. I thought he actually did get it out and saved himself... Idk if I misremember or the magazine messed up... And yeah it didn't make me want to watch these movies I can stand a lot, but eyes are off limit for me
EFAP watching Repo! The Genetic Opera when
11:40 The only reason I remember Dead Silence is because the trailer played quite a bit and scared the shit out of me as a kid. Never seen the movie, but still get I small chills when I see the cover. I also found the Goosebumps book Night of the Living Dummy to be one of the scarier ones (along with Creeps. The one where the protag turns his entire school into lizard people.)
Dead Silence was annoying because of its pacing. It tries to have this mystery but plods along, playing out like a puzzle videogame where you have to backtrack several times to progress. Then there's the big reveal at the end and it just gets dumber.
Tobin Bell played a character in Stargate: SG1 a few years before the first Saw.
If anyone has heard of "Tollans", then you know his character was the smartest one. My head-canon is his character turned into Jigsaw due to his people's stupidity.
were they the ones with the orbital canons?
@@Soapy-chan Yes. Also, had tech that could disable *any* weapon, and didn't know what "painting a target" meant.
@@CameronFulbright oh yeah. i love sg1 but it has its tisms xD
@@Soapy-chan Recently started season 9 and season 2 of Atlantis....it's a bit rough, to say the least.
@@CameronFulbright The later seasons had lots of issues unfortunately. especially the whole The ancient ones retcon stuff. Atlantis I think was good to the end, but had its tisms in between. At least the characters made it worth to watch it, I'd prefer less of the wraith though.

That quest was the GOAT. I can't remember the number of times I replayed just to see all the different character interactions depending on which order they died

Wait do they ever explain how Jigsaw is so sick but he's able to set up all these traps?
Saw franchise for EFAP Movies, woohoo! Animated Barbie movies next year, please 🎃
Rags would love that.
Wait... so if the cop dude killed Jigsaw in a rage, he wouldn't have gotten captured AND he'd get his son, and the evil lady would just be cosplaying in tub somewhere. As much as i hate the first one's twist, at least i could see a 'way' that it's safe for Jigsaw to be in that position. And wow, the Doctor dude from the first one really left the other guy behind... kinda damages that movie, imo.
the first one was meh but I like parts of it. This one just felt like a downgrade, too much dumb horror people and the gore-factor doesn't do anything for me. I assume it''s all downhill from here.
Well to tbf the doctor dude was missing his foot and crawling the whole way. there is a chance he didn’t even make it to anywhere before bleeding out

In their defense, maybe the poison was causing them all to act stupid
Not sure if they were trying to rip on Repo with that clip but all the bad singing is easily made up for by the good singers on the cast. Then again I'm a bit biased towards that film and its whole aesthetic.
I love Repo the Genetic Opera it's one of the worst musical movies I've ever seen I couldn't stop laughing. I would love to see an EFAP Movies of it

I vaguely remember scenes of these people yelling at each other in the room. Somehow i never finished these movies.
As irritating as the one guy screaming during the raid on jigsaws compound is. I am happy that they had them continued to scream because I always hate when someone's grievously injured and then just don't react after they're off screen
I ironically, I am a fan of Blue Bloods. Not anything to cause a great fuss about, but as Fringy said, it is a consistent show with some interesting things to say about modern police work and law enforcement in general.
Movie trivia: that needle pit scene was real!
the prop guys fucked up big time, most of the needles are fake, but they also had real ones for the establishing shots/ close up, and the prop guys left those in by mistake. At least half of those needles in her are real and the actress just tanked it for the shot dicaprio style and they ran with it.
I both hope and don't hope that is real. If it is then goddamn, props to her. She did not get paid enough for that.
If it’s not promotional bullshit “cool story”
Doing a bit of research, there's a little bit of truth in this.
As for the pit itself, it was entirely safe. The needles (all 120,000 of them) were all replaced with fiber optic tips that looked real enough, but were harmless. There was also crash pad material and styrofoam padding in it to help reduce the impact of the fall.
As for where the myth comes from, right before filming, a crewmember accidentally knocked a package of real needles into the pit. This was noticed however, and they simply halted filming to find them all. The director said it was like "finding a needle in a needle stack."
To reiterate, the actress never got hurt, somebody just knocked some needles in by accident, and they were fished out before filming.
@@HolyApplebutterthat begs the question of why were there real needles on a movie set at all, and the followup question of why were said real needles anywhere near the pit of exclusively fake needles.
@@xacmashe3852I would refer back to them being needed for the close up shots of the pit, that still seems the likely explanation
Let me pitch a SAW MOVIE. SAW XXI. Opens up on a beautiful forest, we go along the sky arriving to a town on a plane. Once we arrive and see people disembarking, its got press waiting. It seems this town has been waiting for the FBI to arrive and help find the missing city council. who suspected or known, is incredibly corrupt.
So then we cut to the SAW games where the council wakes up (and possibly this is taking a bit in the past, so it cuts between the past during the games, and the present in the parts where the FBI are looking.) and we start to have the story of who they are and what they are doing revealed as they have to do tasks working together, and working selfishly for a limited supply of foods to keep up the energy. They are in a trap that they are told will last 20 days, and they have to survive, similar to how they make the people of their town survive, on low budget foods and other things due to thier criminal management of the costs of things, and basically running a very tight business circle where they pay people enough to survive but not much else, not even to leave.
And its this twisted game with every day having some of the best food options available only if they risk thier lives in a deadly trap to get it. And they start to get desperate and go for it because they have a few members who are spoiled and refuse to lower themselves to more survival style foods, ramen etc.. They want more decent protein rich food that tastes good. And they stupidly lose someone that way that changes everything. That is when the game changes and the lights change to red in the underground survival shelter they are in, it is massive and built under the forest. Now they are warned they have 3 days to get out, or they will never get out.
so we cut to the fbi investigating what happened and where they could be, thats when the investigation starts to open up all the corruptions and actually cause some chaos in the town, and we ... well thats how i would take it to just be a different style story.
wouldn't even need to tie in with Jigsaw himself, a simple copycat who has personal grudges against the corrupt city councilors would work just as well.
“This actor’s great!” Oh, just you wait till SAW X cause he’s front & center in the entire film.
18:57 "He's very bad at..."
Look, I won't defend this movie too much, but this is the _one_ character in this movie I can forgive for being unprofessional and overly emotional. His _son_ is in grave risk of death. And not just regular death, but extra-messed-up one.

That whole point of it being another movie before it was turned into Saw II makes so much sense. It has such a 'made for DVD' from the early 2000's vibe
