Continuity mistake: When William walks into the steam room, we see the tape player from William's point of view. The camera then looks at William and the tape player has rotated 180 degrees instantly. (00:50:25)
Continuity mistake: In the opening game, Simone's arm alternates from wet to dry depending on the shot. (00:03:30)
Continuity mistake: At the very start, the position of the meat cleaver on Simone's table changes between shots. (00:03:40)
Factual error: We see Hoffman has to use pliers and force to remove Strahm's hand from the grill. However, since the hand is freshly severed, rigor mortis would not have set in, and he should have been able to remove it with ease. (01:09:30)
Jigsaw: Hello, William. Before you are six of your most valuable associates. The ones who find errors in policies. Their findings result in over two-thirds of all applications denied or prematurely terminated. Healthcare decisions should be made by doctors and their patients, not the insurance company. Six ride the carousel, but only two can get off. The decision of which two survive falls upon you. To offer the two reprise, you'll offer a sacrifice of your own. Two can live, four will die.
Trivia: Saw 2, Saw 3 and this movie are the only two movies that have an undetermined time between the end of the previous movie and it's beginning. Saw 3, 4 and 5 all occurred over the space of around a week.
Question: Here's an interesting thought; Debbie was provided with a small power saw and told that to prevent a pipe piercing her skull, she would have to get a key, which is revealed to be in William's side. What was to stop her from simply using the saw to cut off the spear on her chest? Couldn't she have cut it off her chest, and had the harness taken off later?

Chosen answer: It's possible, but unlikely. 1) She was under great distress and might not have thought of that. 2) It would be easier (and more importantly, quicker) to cut through Easton's soft skin than the spear. 3) There is a good chance that tampering with the spear might have made it go off.
