These 2 are the foundation of Saw. If it wasnt for just the two simple geniuses there would be no SAW...wow, smart dudes man. Thank you james and leigh very much.

If any one remembers death sentence Kevin bacon I loved that movie. The violence the intensity that movie made me respect James wans craft in films. To me he is close to the modern day Stephen King he may not write books but his movies are creepy and classics like Stephen King books

Leigh sure can talk🙂 So cool when people meet and become friends and collaborate together and make their dreams come true. Twenty years later, producing SAW X and it’s one of the best in the Franchise. I want to look up how they landed Tobin Bell for the first film? Was anyone else considered for the role of John Kramer? Hats off to Lionsgate for giving new talent and ideas an opportunity, and taking some risks on people.

i heard that the guy in the barbed wire trap was up for the role of john, but he didn't want to spend the whole film on the floor, so he opted to be in a trap instead, so the role of jigsaw went to tobin :^)

Carolin Sullivan Please don’t impose your condoning of inconsiderate, indecent behaviour in front of others on me. If your vocabulary is so poor, please look up the f-word and dick head in the dictionary. They are vulgar, or derogatory, words not to be used in polite company and are very offensive to many people! Didn’t your teachers, parents, church, etc, teach you not to be foul-mouthed. Don’t make excuses for people you admire! You are wrong in another respect! People being disrespectful to me by spewing obscenities to my face is as important to me as a nuclear war! It’s shameful you, a woman, are condoning vulgarities! You ain’t no lady! in my country Singapore, women who are vulgar are despised like whores, bargirls or social escorts!

Saw had my interest up until the guy saws his own foot off. Fucking ridiculous. Nobody is able to do that. Your body goes into shock from the pain, and if you continue you pass out. Especially if you do it with a slow ass hacksaw. Shit like that needs to go quickly before your senses can ever react. Then of course you have to deal with not bleeding out in less than 2 mins.
@MontyQueues4 жыл бұрын

@AtaurRahman-bs1lm3 жыл бұрын
DR Gordon did it in a state of temporary insanity. He did it as quick as humanly possible for him. His increased adrenaline level helped with not going into shock and they show in SAW VII that he used a superhot steam pipe to cauterize the stump so he doesn't bleed out to death. AND THE SEVENTH SAW FILM ALSO SHOWS THAT HE DID PASS OUT A FEW MINUTES AFTER SAWING HIS OWN FOOT OFF. IF CRAMER HADN'T SAVED HIM AT THE RIGHT TIME, HE WOULD HAVE DIED.
