Fun fact: The needle pit was ALL practical effects. They took THOUSANDS of real needles, replaced the needles with fiber optic threads and placed a thick mat beneath so Amanda could actually be tossed in without injury. They also used sfx makeup on her limbs to give a realistic illusion of her being stuck with multiple needles. So far the only trap that's REALLY raised the hair on the back of my neck because of how excellently they executed it. Very tedious process, but with an outcome that's really stood the test of time and remains a fixture in the minds of anyone who has watched. The more you know! 🌈

[@Boggythefroggy]

The video I saw on here of the behind the scenes was so cool to watch, I remember at one point they had to just use a bunch of needle-less syringes to help fill in the bottom of the pit bc making so many fake needles was nearly impossible haha.

[@melvinthebravefish9788]

God tier execution. The needle pit is the trap I think of when I think of Saw as a franchise.

[@thomashibbitt393]

Needle pit is so iconic, so grim visually, seemingly survivable unlike some others and thematically perfect down to the detail that the dealer throws a recovering addict into the pit instead of delving in himself. In the same way he profits from addicts, he is saving himself by pushing somebody struggling just as much even further down.

[@OriginalNameHere]

They actually dropped a few real needles in by accident and had to go through them all again to make sure it was safe. The director described it as finding a needle in a needle stack

1:47:31 I don't know if the missed meaning is the joke, or that Jeff missed it because there's not an equivalent in Swedish, but the trap's entire concept is a play on the idiom "to demand a pound of flesh" - someone asking for a "pound of flesh" is making an unreasonable request or demanding payment of an incredible debt. Those two people demand *metaphorical* pounds of flesh from the people they loan money to... so Jigsaw demands a LITERAL pound of flesh from them. it's kinda clever, if a little on the nose.

He has admitted that it was in poor taste and he doesn't particularly like how that trap was shot but it was apparently way worse before he changed it due to being more unintentionally sexual.

I do love that Saw 10 has a bunch of people scamming old cancer patients knowing that those people will die soon anyway but then it turns out they've scammed JIGSAW. How truly horrifying, like if there's anything that would stop me from becoming a scammer it would be the negligible but REAL chance that I scam jigsaw by accident and get got for real.

[@mindmomo]

2:12:54 To give more context for this trap and Saw 3D generally Before Saw 3D became Saw 3D, it was intended to be two separate (not 3D) films. Saw: The Final Chapter, Parts 1 and 2. What was supposed to happen was, after the shot of Dina hanging gutted, the camera cuts to the chaos of the crowd panicking. Stoically, standing in the back, was John. He would then utter something along the lines of, “If they didn’t know who I was before, they most certainly will now.” It was meant to be Jigsaw’s ‘coming out party’ to the public at large. The twist from this scene would come back in the final act, during the Dr. Gordon montage, where after John says that line, Gordon steps up next to him as another stoic observer. This was John showing his work to Gordon for the first time, much like how he initiated Hoffman. And after Hoffman passed out from Gordon’s syringe, the other two Pigheads would unmask as Brad and Ryan- the survivors of the Love Triangle game in question. All that got royally fucked up when the producers cancelled the plan of eight movies, dropped it to seven, and forced the merger of both scripts into one. The Love Triangle trap became completely pointless and disconnected from everything. Then slapping the hokey 3D gimmick on top, all contributed to the mess that Saw VII came out to be. Should’ve been a much different finale for that era of the franchise.

[@tournesol99]

I mean...yeah, the trap doesn't fit the film we got. But what you describe sounds like an extra like minute of screen time. Not really worth making an entire film just for that one scene to fit. Half the films are incoherent messes already, I don't think it made too much of an impact.

[@BromTeque]

I’m a bit late to the party, but I’m pretty sure the reason so many traps are ending up in C is because the avoidability score usually directly counteracts the wickedness score. Evening them out. A bit of a flaw in the rating system, would I say.

[@spectilia]

I would push back on this, only because we see several traps that have alright avoidability and wickedness, but are then revealed to not actually be escapable. This drops their avoidability score to practically nothing, but the wickedness does not increase at the same time, which is what you would expect to see if they were indeed direct counterparts.

[@hiero-green]

I think another thing to consider about the McDonald’s Cup trap in Saw 2 is the fact that she didn’t need to stick her arms in at all. There was a key in the room, easily accessible, which would’ve opened the box to allow her to grab the antidote without hurting herself. Simple, right? But the problem with that is, by that point in the movie, they were all exhausted and not at 100% mental capacity due to the poison, meaning her chances of understanding her scenario well enough to notice the key is unlikely. I get that she wandered off - so you could argue that there’s supposed to be more than one brain on that trap, or that someone is supposed to have gotten an antidote by then, and therefore would be able to think clearly… but in that case, it’s FAR too simple a trap. I feel like it was set up to be so deceptively simple (stick hand in pain box, grab antidote) because it was built with the intention that no one with the mental faculties to figure it out would ever reach it. Which I think bumps up the avoidability *only* because of the cast’s specific circumstances

I also get annoyed everytime bc cause she not have used her free hand to hold the blades open to get her hand out safely!!!!!!!

Hey Jeff. I had no idea people were leaving cruel comments on your Final Destination video. It was really good and that's coming from a fan of the franchise. I hope the Saw fandom treats you better here and i believe that they will. A lot of my pals who love Saw recognize it's very serious flaws: especially for entries 4, 5, and 3D. The cheap soap opera elements and ridiculous editing choices is part of the charm for me. Also I'm so glad you took note of the absolutely bonkers interrogation scene in 4. It's such a vlink and you'll miss it thing but it never fails to make me giggle on a rewatch.

The reverse bear-trap, while simple in comparison, will always be so iconic of the SAW franchise that people are going to remember it for years, the same way they do Leatherface's chainsaw or Jason Voorhee's machete... In my opinion, that is!!

[@15two]

it also helps that its pretty much the only trap to be repeated multiple times in the series. like the rest are mostly one off and specific to the scenario the characters are in, but the rbt is worn by three different characters (four if you count david in the short film and five if u count the video game) its iconic even just in the original saw movie, but the repetition definitely helps memorability for people who have watched the sequels

[@ANunes06]

I thought we had reached peak Swedish energy with the Ikea detour, but the absolute *venom* towards Nazi iconography at 1:29:00 coming out like some ancestral memory topped that. America: "Punch all Nazis?" Sweden: "You punch them? Like ... [loading rifle] ... just with your fists?"

[@mishal2401]

[@DissedRedEngie]

3:30:44 I love moments like these. Like, it should be clear by the second movie that John is a hypocrite. He morally absolves himself as this savior who puts you through tests and torment to make you a better person. But his reasons even at the start were petty, seriously, giving a death penalty for someone having depression or being too focused on your job. And if you really think about it, most of his actions are just revenge. Revenge at the cops for daring to do their jobs (for once), revenge at the world for being the one who suffered and here, revenge at the people who wronged him. He's just a hypocrite with a god complex.

[@castrochris94]

The suicide thing and the working too much thing kinda have a through line though. John wants people to appreciate life as a gift, and not take anything for granted. He hopes both these men will find a new value for their lives after this.
