Continuity mistake: When Seth has been sliced by the blade, he spits blood that goes all over his face. It then cuts to Hoffman looking at him, then back to Seth, and now the blood on his face has gone. This happens three or four times. (00:05:10)
Saw V (2008)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: David Hackl
Starring: Tobin Bell, Betsy Russell, Costas Mandylor, Scott Gordon-Patterson
Hoffman frames Strahm as Jigsaw. FBI agent Erickson believes Strahm is Jigsaw when he arrives at Jigsaw's headquarters and sees Strahm's phone and files of the 5 participants of the new game. The five participants of the game are linked because of a fire that devastated a building that was thought to be abandoned (but there were people still living inside): one was a reporter who covered up the story, one was a fire inspector, one was a city planner, another worked for a real estate group and another was the one who set fire to the building. Two participants (the kid who set fire to the building and the woman who works for the real estate group) make it to the final room. In the final trap, they have to insert an arm in a mechanism that requires blood in order to open the door. It's at this final mechanism that they realize that they should have trusted one another and worked together in all of the rooms with traps. If the five of them had worked together, then it would've taken only a small amount of blood from each one to open the door. The real estate woman is the only survivor (barely) and when Erickson sees her, he calls for back up and medical assistance. Hoffman looks for Strahm, and after a brief fight, Strahm pushes Hoffman into a "coffin" with glass inside (seen briefly in a flashback in the previous movie). The walls start to close in and Hoffman is safe inside the coffin and Strahm is crushed...

Trivia: When Agent Strahm is in his head box trap screaming, there is a lot of flash-cutting, including a shot of an outtake of the actor smiling with a towel in the cube and staff around him. Happens exactly at 9:52:370 into the movie, or frame 14203. VERY fast and easy to miss.
Question: I was wondering why the man and woman in the last trap didn't use the woman from the bathtub to give the pints of blood? They could have carried her into the room because the door stayed open for about forty seconds.

Chosen answer: Assuming the woman in the bathtub was able to be moved safely the amount of blood gained from her, while still being helpful, would probably not be enough to save the final two survivors from self harm. Without the heart pumping blood you would only get the blood that was in her arm at the moment. You would have to lift her or raise her so gravity would get other blood moving to get enough. Which the final two possibly could have done, but stress of the situation clouded their judgement.
