Trivia:
1000 special posters were made and were sold for $20 each in support of Saw III and the American Red Cross. Tobin Bell, donated 2 Vials of his own blood to be dumped into the red ink vat. All 1000 posters were then printed with the red ink vat and later sold. However, the first print was put up for auction. It was also signed by the entire cast and crew. All proceeds from both sales, went to the American Red Cross. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Towards the end of the movie when the police team enters the house where they believe the feed is coming from Jigsaw has told them there is a gas flowing through the house, yet none of the police team is wearing any type of gas mask. moreMovie Connections:

First off, this film was as gory as hell! The gore increase routine didn't work out for the second film, but thanks to a great script that links the three together, it is merely pure entertainment emerged in a great story.
I am actually fairly shocked to see how many people slate this film. Some say it's the worst of the three, but in my opinion I don't believe it's too far off from the first movie. There is some originality - the most interesting traps and a story that goes back and forth to explain things in between movies. The first one probably has the best story as it is the original and the basis of these three films. However it's not easy to make a worthy sequel therefore I feel that Darren Lynn Bousman did an excellent job on this one.
I want to focus a little on the traps of Saw III. 'Wow' is the best word to describe it. The opening fifteen minutes is one of the goriest openings to a movie I have ever seen - and this is coming from a 'splatter' fan. This is a good thing because it hypes up the audience to an extent that the story build up after doesn't 'bore' anyone as such due to the initial shock. There is a nice break in gore during this development, but it's the ending of the film that contains much of its greatness.
As soon as that theme tune starts playing (for a second time in this one), you know you're expecting one of those great twists. Unfortunately a part of it was a little predictable, but that's okay as there's a few twists, one of which is still pretty shocking.
CONCLUSION: A lot of people that disliked this movie I think saw this before watching the first two. That's a big no-no! This film is only as great as I say it is if you've seen the lot. 7.4/10
