We only learn that Jeff and Lynn husband are married — let alone married to each other — when Jeff comes barreling through a doorway, and Amanda murders his wife…. As John knew he would! Saw IV climaxes with the revelation that the events of Saw IV and Saw III are more closely related than even the most clever viewer could guess without devouring a suspiciously detailed Wikipedia plot synopsis.
There are no prior hints that will allow you to come to this conclusion, it just happens. Fast-forward to Saw VI , where the backstory of the previous Saw films is heavily — and hastily!
There is no mention of a will in any of the other films. But bear with us: in the will John asks Jill to make Mark test several people. Bear in mind, Dr. Yes, they do acknowledge that John Kramer died. And characters do briefly and belatedly acknowledge the gruesome comically thorough autopsy that kicks off Saw IV.
But there is only a passing reference to Jill. This series is so convoluted that it stops being exasperating and soon becomes compulsively riveting. Where to even begin synopsizing the earlier films? John had brain cancer and trained Amanda to be his successor revealed in Saw II. But Amanda was too angry!! Jigsaw simply steps aside and lets him fall into a cage of razor wires.
The first one was made as a toy for Jigsaw's unborn son Gideon. He now uses Billy to be the "front man" on videotape when telling his victims the rules of a game. We learn that Detective Hoffman wrote what was in the envelope and placed it in the drawer, but what is actually written in the note is not revealed until Saw VI. It is a bit of foreshadowing.
Near the end, Strahm enters an old building and finds a set of keys with a family picture on it. It is meant as a first clue to the audience that something is not right, since at this point, we have been led to believe that all events in the movie occur after Jigsaw's death. If Jigsaw has been found, then it would stand to reason that Jeff's game is long finished, but his ultimate fate has not been revealed yet.
One of the next scenes, however, shows us Jeff right in the middle of his game, so we instantly realize that the events are still taking place before Jigsaw's death. This twist also changes our interpretation of the very first scene of the movie, where Hoffman listens to the tape that was recovered from Jigsaw's stomach.
At first, we assumed it was just a final message from Jigsaw, announcing that his games are not over and his work will be continued. At the end, it is clear it is a direct threat, directed at Hoffman. Hoffman is seen chronologically prior to that with a brown teddy bear. When asked if he was married, he responds "I'm not. It's a short story, believe me. It is important to remember that, at the end of Saw III, Jigsaw stated that he is the only one who knows where she is. In the original script, however, after Hoffman locks Strahm in the room with the bodies of Jigsaw, Lynn, Jeff, and Amanda, he calls the police on the cellphone and tells them to get there.
When they do, Hoffman emerges from the lair with Corbett and says that he saved her. There is only a passing reference to Lawrence Gordon.
His office sign is shown on the door where Jigsaw went for cancer treatment. Fisk also mentions to Hoffman that another doctor is missing from the hospital, referring to Lynn Denlon.
Gordon's fate is revealed in Saw 3D. They're the same body. Everything that occurs between the first and last scene of Saw IV is shown in a flashback, although we don't realize that until the climax. The scene where Trevor and Art are tied to a trap in a mausoleum probably occurs around the same time as the death of Detective Kerry in Saw III, or some time before because when we see Art later, his mouth has already healed considerably. Four days later, Kerry's body is discovered.
Most of you saw a movie still of a man trying to escape a box of glass. It is presumed that this was Jigsaw's second trap and was deleted from the film. During the audio commentary for Saw IV, director Darren Lynn Bousman claims that the trap was used on the loud man in the hotel lobby, and that, since it has been shot, it will be shown in Saw V it's not. It was apparently cut from Saw IV because it was deemed too violent; it was also not in the original script and was created by Bousman because he was tired of shooting dialogue scenes.
The box does appear in Saw V during the final trap, but in a very different context. Two players are personally connected to him: one sold a shoddy bike to his nephew, knowing full well that it would fail him and cost his life, and another was his neighbor who did the unthinkable to quiet her newborn child and then let her husband go down for the crime.
The other three are your ordinary ne'er-do-wells that have simply rubbed him wrong: a purse-snatcher who once deprived a woman of her life-saving inhaler, a con artist whose friends paid the ultimate price for his recklessness, and a guy who we never even meet before he's thrown into a wall of saws and left for gone by the rest.
We're eventually left with just two victims, one of whom very nearly escapes the whole thing. But then Jigsaw shows up and catches her, and the final two are treated to one of his traps that's survivable if they'll just play by his rules and listen to what he says Kramer's god complex is still very much intact.
Ultimately, they fail by jumping the gun, so to speak, and their bodies are never found However, there are only four casualties of the game, because there is one secret survivor. We all know Jigsaw loves to train burgeoning lunatics, and since everyone but Dr. Gordon met their maker in the previous installments, it makes sense that he'd develop a new tag-along to help him set up all these sordid scenes.
It turns out that the guy who appears to fall in the first round of the group trap is actually rescued by Kramer, in an uncharacteristic moment of mercy, and has since grown up to be a full-on Jigsaw copycat.
When we first meet Logan Nelson, he seems like a very sympathetic fellow. He'd been a POW in Iraq, lost his wife in a homicide that resulted in little to no justice for the perp involved, and he's now raising his sweet little daughter all by himself—when he's not working in the morgue, that is. But he's got a major secret.
While his Jigsaw-obsessed assistant Eleanor seems like the resident psycho of the group, he 's the one who's gotten up close and personal with John. As it turns out, earlier in his career, he mislabeled John's brain scans and thus cost him some precious time that might've made a difference in his treatment and prognosis.
But even though Jigsaw seeks retribution for his mistake, he changes his mind and decides he doesn't want the guy to bleed out over a simple workplace error—especially since he's unconscious during the game's initial instructions and doesn't stand a chance to get past the first blade room. So it's Logan who falls first in the throwback Jigsaw game, and, like the rest of the Stockholm Syndrome sufferers Jigsaw calls his lieutenants, falls right in line with his torture tactics.
Since Logan is revealed to have been part of Jigsaw's five contestants in the game that informs the movie's arc, we have to wonder, where are all these new bodies coming from? After all, the corpses that are landing on his table now are certainly fresher than some year-old cadavers, and yet they've suffered fates very similar to the ones we see in Jigsaw's games. As it turns out, Logan has been staging a new version of the same game, with two fewer victims in play. The first, nicknamed "Buckethead" by the mortician, was a lowlife who'd been freed on account of Detective Halloran's shifty police work, and the other two were similarly condemnable criminals.
The three bodies have been littered with clues, including John Kramer's blood sample under fingernails, and a bit of chemical residue that's extremely specific to Jill Tuck's old family farm. His assistant, Eleanor, picks up on those leads and begins to seem a little too familiar with Jigsaw's cases for Halloran's liking—which is when he starts to follow her.
Detective Keith Hunt, who's also working on the case and has some combat history with Logan, initially buys into Halloran's lead and finds out about Eleanor's workshop of horrors—handmade replicas of Jigsaw's traps that she just makes as a hobby, or so she says.
But Logan is able to stave him off by suggesting that Halloran is the one that's conveniently close to all of the victims, planting puzzle pieces lifted from their skin for Hunt to find in Halloran's freezer, and miraculously finding Halloran's exact bullet type in the body of Edgar Munsen, whose involvement in all of this has deeper roots
