Saw III

Continuity mistake: When Kerry is sneaking up to the door, you can see on the TV that she raises her gun up to her chest, but then the shot cuts away (instant cut) and she's still aiming the gun at the closet. (00:13:00)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: A little bit after you first see Jeff there is a shot of Amanda looking into Jigsaw's room. Lynn is telling Jigsaw to look at her. The pillow is about three-quarters of the way down Jigsaw's head, almost down to his neck. The shot cuts to a closer view of him and now the pillow in a good 8-10 inches higher on his head, up past his ears. (00:36:20)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: After examining Jigsaw, Lynn tells Amanda that he needs to go to a hospital. Amanda grabs Lynn's hair and pulls Lynn towards her to yell at her. In the shots of Amanda's face you can see that their foreheads are touching, but in the shots of Lynn's face their temples are the only thing that is touching. (00:37:25)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: When Lynn first gets rolled into Jigsaw's room she has a few strands of her hair in the corner of her mouth. The strands appear and disappear during the next few shots.

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: Kerry wipes off the steamed up mirror and sees Eric in the reflection, she gasps and turns around. She looks back at the mirror and you can see that the hand wipe marks where she wiped the steam off are completely different. (00:11:45)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: In the "Twisting Crucifix" device scene the tear on the man's face jumps from his right eye, to his left, then disappears, then reappears again throughout the shots.

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: The blood mark on Kerry's cheek changes several times. It's most easily noticeable when you first see her in the 'Angel' trap, and then a close up on her face at the 14:17 mark in the movie. (00:14:10)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: Amanda freaks out and pins Lynn to the wall after Lynn says "He doesn't even know you're there". Amanda's hand is around Lynn's neck, choking her. The screen cuts to Jigsaw very briefly (all he says is, "AMANDA!"), then back to Amanda, now Amanda's hand has moved up to being on Lynn's chin. Not only would moving her hand from Lynn's neck to her chin not serve any purpose, but the screen cuts happened too fast to allow for the hand movement. (01:14:25)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: The amount of blood on Jigsaw's skull changes drastically from thick dark red to thin almost translucent red. This is before Lyn clamps off the blood vessels and uses the alcohol to clear the area. (01:03:20)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: In the 'Pig Vat' scene, the slide that the pigs slide on into the blades is clear with no pigs stuck on it. The pigs fall in one after the other with none getting stuck on the slide. However when the fourth pig drops onto the slide, you can see the a pig stuck on the slide and hanging over the edge of the slide. The next couple of pigs that fall don't knock another pig in and you cannot see the pig overhanging on the slide. (00:59:25)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Kerry walks into the room at the start of the film, her ID is twisted. Camera switches to a long shot and it's not twisted. (00:05:45)

Ssiscool

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When we first see Kerry in the Angel trap her arms are down by her side. The camera zooms out and now her arms are raised. (00:13:15)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Rigg is telling Kerry that "That somebody is still out there", Hoffman can be seen in the background putting something in his jacket. Camera changes and his hand is nowhere near his jacket. (00:10:00)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Kerry is in the Anglet trap, there is one point where her hand has almost grabbed the key out of the acid. The camera changes and her hand is nowhere near the key. (00:15:40)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: The drill that Lynn uses on Jigsaw's skull has a white piece of tape on the end of the drill bit a short distance from the end, presumably to mark the thickness of his skull so she knows where to stop. In one shot (during the drilling scene) the piece of tape moves a good two inches farther up on the drill bit, but it's back down in the very next shot. (01:04:05)

Question: So in this film, through the flashbacks, we learn a lot about the previous films. However, with all that is known, why does Jigsaw leave Adam in the bathroom and close the door? He says game over - did Adam fail? Is the suffocation by Amanda the punishment for failing?

blinkrockshow281

Answer: Adam didn't just lose because he let the key get drowned. He had the two hacksaws and he broke his own in a hurry. And there was also the toilet lid that he could have used to smash his foot like Eric did in Saw III. Jigsaw never said that improvising or thinking outside the box was against the rules. So even if you wipe the key out of the equation, Adam still has at least two other ways to release himself from the chains.

hsssjusuh

Answer: It was too late for Adam to solve the game the way he was intended to- the key went down the drain, which Jigsaw actually didn't intend to happen. Adam's key was meant to be tied around his neck in such a way that neither him nor Lawrence would be able to see, and Adam would be allowed to go free and escape if he were to locate the key- which would only be possible if he looked at himself. The whole idea behind his puzzle was "looking at himself instead of others, for a change." The reason it went down the drain instead, was because of Amanda, who continuously made traps unsolvable. Instead of tying it around him like Jigsaw asked, she just tossed it on his chest, which defeated the whole purpose. Also, he was given a saw just as Lawrence was, as a much more violent plan B, another way he could save his own life.

That doesn't make sense because Jigsaw told Adam that the key is in the bathtub at the end of the movie.

Answer: In Saw III, Jigsaw states that he "despises murderers", so when Adam tried to shoot him, in his eyes, he just attempted murder. There is also the fact that Adam killed Zep as well, so maybe Jigsaw regarded that as straight-up killing.

Chosen answer: Jigsaw most likely decided to leave Adam in the room in case Gordon didn't shoot him. Adam wasn't the one who failed, it was Gordon. He simply decided to leave him in there, the easy way out. As for his suffocation, Jigsaw already mentions Amanda's emotional side also being her weakness. While Adam was meant to die after a certain amount of time, Amanda's emotions got the best of her and so she decided to mercy kill him.

Answer: Well Jigsaw told Adam that the key to his chains was in the bathtub, without knowing he pulled the plug, drowning the key with it. However, he could have responded instead of trying to shoot Jigsaw. After that, he most likely came to the conclusion that Adam didn't learn his lesson. And Amanda coming back to kill him is most likely a mercy kill, though it's not confirmed.
