Saw III (2006)
Plot summary
Directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman
Starring: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen, Bahar Soomekh
A now very seriously ill Jigsaw is being cared for by Amanda in his workshop. Amanda kidnaps a doctor, Lynn, to keep Jigsaw alive long enough to see another victim, Jeff, complete his 'game'. Jeff is a grieving father whose son, Dylan, was killed in a road accident. Jeff's game involves Jeff being given an amount of time to follow a trail through a factory in which Jeff meets three people, in traps, involved in his son's murder. Jeff must choose whether to forgive them or watch them die painfully for their part in Dylan's murder. The film follows the two sides to the story and also has a side plot of the relationship between Jigsaw and Amanda whilst also looking at how some of the older traps (particularly Adam's) were set up.
Question: In both Saw II and III we learn that Amanda is working for Jigsaw, after her test in the first movie. However I don't see the reason why she had to be in a game again, in Saw II. I was hoping that to be explained in Saw III, but apparently, it wasn't. Please enlighten me.
Answer: Amanda was in the Saw 2 game to mainly protect Daniel Eric's son from harm, so he could be alive for Eric's test during the police interrogation with Jigsaw. The whole game centered around Eric Matthews and simply included his framed victims. This was Amanda's choosing, so she was the reasonable choice to oversee it.
Answer: In Saw II, Amanda pretended to be one of the prisoners, so she could observe her fellow prisoners.
