Saw II mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the very beginning of Saw 2 when the informant awakes and realizes where he is and suddenly gets up from the chair there is a brief shot of him from the rear. If you look closely the leather waistband for the trap is completely loose, but when the camera quickly switches to his front, it shows the leather waist band tight around his waist. (00:01:20)

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene when the informant is about to cut into his eye they show a close up of the knife just centimeters away from his eye ball. There is minimal blood only in his eye but nowhere else, where in the cut before it the whole area around the eye is covered in blood. (00:03:30)

Continuity mistake: When Mathews and the female agent are talking about the first victim, Mathew's head changes position slightly as the camera cuts back and forth. It is leaning to the right in one shot, then to the left in the next, etc. Very subtle, but it's there. (00:07:00)

Continuity mistake: After seeing the Jigsaw piece cut in the man's body, after Mathews stands up, the position of his body changes slightly between several cuts. He goes from looking downwards, to looking off to the sides, etc. (00:07:50)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Eric Mathews goes to confront Jigsaw (after he first looks at the monitors), the chain of his badge gets twisted when he gets held back, but as he's about to leave the chain appears, untwisted. But when he gets back to the monitors, his chain is twisted only to be untwisted by him a few seconds later. (00:16:30)

Continuity mistake: Right after the guy gets shot through the door, it goes back to detective Matthew, and there is a small cut above his right eye. In the next shot it's above his left eye, then back. Meaning the shot is backwards. (00:25:10)

Continuity mistake: Jonas is listening to the tape again. When the door opens, the tape stops playing. But you don't see Jonas stop the tape, and there is more left on the tape as we have heard it before. (00:26:20)

Continuity mistake: When we see the envelope with Obi's name on it, the position of the knife through the envelope changes three or four times. At one point it is by the "b" in Obi and in another it's above the "o". (00:34:25)

Continuity mistake: In the part right before the girl is thrown in the heroin needle pit, Jonas takes the envelope with the drug dealers tape. When the cop's son pulls the cover off the pit, you can see that the envelope that Jonas just ripped off is still on. It's right near the bottom of the screen, and in the middle. (00:49:30)

Suggested correction: Yes the envelope is there, but that's not where it was when Jonas took it to get the tape. He takes it from a hanging wire and throws it to the side. This is obviously where it lands.

Continuity mistake: When Amanda is thrown into the pit of needles, in some shots there is only one, while in others, there are two or more stuck in her back. Also, in some shots the needles are pointed at an angle, whereas in others, they are pointed almost straight up. (Uncut Edition) (00:51:20)

Continuity mistake: When Glenn Plummer gets the spiked baseball bat in the head, the camera shows two shots of the blood coming out of his head on the floor, and there's not much there. When the guy who killed him walks over to read the number on the back of his head, there is now a huge amount of blood, not enough time has passed in the 2 seconds since the previous shot for this to happen.

More quotes from Saw II

Trivia: Director Darren Lynn Bousman had originally started this project as a completely unrelated film based on a script he wrote which he was shopping around to producers. The original script was entitled "The Desperate" and more-or-less followed a similar storyline of a group of victims trying to escape a house filled with booby-traps. Several producers and potential investors who read the script dismissed it as being "Too much like that movie 'Saw' they're making now," and he wasn't able to find any backing. It eventually made its way into the hands of "Saw" producer Gregg Hoffman, who was in early development on "Saw II" after the first film had built a great deal of hype and positive buzz and was shaping up to be a massive hit. Hoffman and the fellow producers realised that "The Desperate" would make the perfect groundwork for a sequel to "Saw", and brought on the original film's screenwriter Leigh Whannell to help re-write the script with Bousman into a proper sequel.

Question: How is it that all the dead victims (except Adam and Lawrence) are found? What kind of clues could the police follow to find those secret locations and still don't have any about the jigsaw?

Answer: Perhaps someone in the vicinity smelled the bodies and called the police. Each of the victims shown on screen appears to have been dead for at least a few days.

Lawrence didn't also die, as he was shown to have survived in Saw 3D. I'm assuming you are talking about Zep.
