Saw II mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Xavier kills Jonas with the spiked baseball bat, we see Amanda, Daniel, Addison and Laura in a hallway. Laura collapses to the ground due to the nerve gas that they've all been inhaling. Between shots her left arm moves from her stomach to across her right shoulder. (01:02:00)

Revealing mistake: When Obi is getting burned, you can sometimes see the end of the oven at the side, for where the camera can see inside it. (00:41:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When Alison is in the hand box trap, if you look very carefully you can see a boom mic arm reflected in the glass in one of the quicker shots. No Slow-mo required. (01:07:00)

Continuity mistake: After Xavier's had his throat cut, he grabs Daniel's shirt and his hand is completely covered in blood. The camera cuts away and then cuts back, and suddenly his hand is bone dry. (01:15:30)

Continuity mistake: When we see the SWAT team aim their lasers on Jigsaw, we see several dots. A few officers move and 2 remain. However we still see 5 or 6 dots. (00:15:00)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: The tape on the picture that Daniel has keeps changing. In some shots it's all nice and neat; in others it's curled up and taped to itself. (01:02:30)

Ssiscool

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)

Saw II mistake picture

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)

Factual error: After falling into the pit of needles, somehow all of the needles in Amanda's skin stay intact and do not break, despite her fall and her rapid digging through them. Very, very unlikely at best. (00:50:50)

Jigsaw: Oh yes...there will be blood.

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.
