Amanda is almost as goated as Jigsaw… ALMOST! I loved Saw 2 even more than the first one, which I thought was impossible… If you want to support the channel and watch the full reactions with me, check out the 7-day free trail on Patreon: www.patreon.com/thedorksidetv Much love and Saw 3 coming your way ASAP!!

The “in a safe place” twist was crazy. Bro literally told him everything and like he said he wasn’t listening

The craziest thing about this film is that it wasn't initially a Saw movie. The script was a booby-trapped house film called The Desperate written by Darren Lynn Bouseman. and after the success of Saw, it was rewritten to include Jigsaw, and he was allowed to direct it.

The needle pit is hands down one of the worst traps in the entire series. That one proves to me you don’t have to go overboard with gore to make your audience squirm. Also major credit to Shawnee smith’s acting in that scene, I can actually feel her pain, extra points because she was pregnant while filming Saw 2. There’s actually quite a few hints hidden in the movie showing that the footage isn’t live. The x marks the spot picture can be seen behind John early in the movie. Definitely enjoying your reactions, looking forward to Saw 3’s reaction

Jigsaw is so great. Tobin Bell had made a caracter so amazing and interesting. And badass of course

Amanda is the best character of this franchise! i can’t wait to see her return in SAW X

“Jigsaw roasting his ass! “Jigsaw talking that shit!” These two sentences are John Kramer in a nutshell 😂

Obi I honestly believe should of lasted longer because he seemed so interesting just with the single line 'Threaten me with a knife, might as well cut me a little'. He would of been GREAT help in the last act of the film. Man big missed opportunity. His character made it into the Saw video game and the video game made him a bigger character. Fun fact: Daniel is Robbie from Scream 4.

The fact all the dad had to do was listen to jigsaw was crazy and he would’ve got his son back. The needle pit trap even tho it wouldn’t kill you is such an iconic take on needle in a haystack but this time it’s a key in a needle stack just having dirty needles stab it you have each time is awful. The Amanda twist was great as well and a good explanation on how jigsaw was doing all this even tho he’s sick asf.

Xavier cutting his skin off and putting it in his pocket is like the most gangster thing I’ve ever seen 🤣

Well he is a Wahlberg 😂 that’s my boy Donnie from New Kids On The Block.

Thank you❤ finally something good to watch tonight..been waiting on this reaction since the first Saw reaction

Better make sure you pack a change of pants once you get to Saw III.

This one and 6 are my favorite

Oh yes, there will be blood

I was literally just wondering when this was gonna post! Like… actually as it posted. Lol. Gotta buy a lottery ticket now.

I think we've all been waiting to see your reaction to the "needle pit" the moment you said that you would be reacting to the SAW movies. I'm glad it didn't disappoint haha. Another stellar reaction, Cole!

the son in this one played Robbie one of the film vloggers of Scream 4

Amazing reaction, thank you so much . I'm happy you like Jigsaw's personality. Tobin Bell is such a fantastic actor. He makes these movies for me . Finding out more about Jigsaw is always the most interesting part for me. Can't wait for your reaction to Saw 3. Also Amanda is a great character, the reveal was chilling when Eric played her tape .

Great reaction ! Prepare yourself for part 3 being much more ...well, lets say "there will be blood"

The Obi moment with the knife reminds me of something that happened to me in high school. I always carried a pocket knife with me because I lived in a dangerous neighborhood. One of my classmates came up to me and threatened to kill me. I pulled out my knife, opened the blade, shoved it into his hand, and put the knife to my throat. I spread my arms and said "Go ahead and kill me. But you better make sure I'm dead, because, if you don't, I WILL kill you." He dropped the knife and ran.

My favorite Saw movie! 🙌🏻 I absolutely loved this reaction, Cole! 😊😊 I’m so glad you’re enjoying these!

Did you say Amber? You mean Amanda? 🤣🤣

"Oh, yes, there will be blood." Fun Fact: Shawnee Smith, Tobin Bell, and Dina Meyer are the only actors to reprise their roles from Saw (2004). Authentic Battle Damage Fact: Timothy Burd accidentally hit Glenn Plummer's eye after he emerged from the furnace. They had to stop filming for half an hour to make sure Plummer was okay. He can be seen holding his hand to his eye after this occurs. Needle Pit Fact: It took approximately 120,000 syringes to complete the "Needle Pit" trap. It took four days for four people to replace all of the syringe tips with fiber tips for the "Needle Pit" trap. Gelatin and a little water were added to the "Needle Pit" to make the syringes more movable and slippery. Razor Box Fact: The "Razor Box" trap containing the syringe actually has a padlock with a key in it. It can be seen, out of focus, at the top of the screen when Addison (Emmanuelle Vaugier) puts her hands into the trap. The filmmakers deliberately included this as a way of showing that Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) knew the characters would rush in without checking the trap for a simple solution.

The cop is Donnie Wahlberg former NKOTB member and Mark Wahlberg's brother.😂❤

Meathead McGee 😂😂 I’m dying I have to tell that one to my dad

That would be the best wahlberg right there! Donnie Wahlberg from new kids on the block 🥰😍

Get your Extra underwear bro!!! Lol😂

When I was little (I don’t know why I was watching this when I was little), this one was my favorite, but as I got older, my love for the first one grew, so even though I like the first one better, this one is definitely a solid sequel. I was so excited to see your reaction to the needle pit, and it did not disappoint! It’s probably the most iconic moment from the whole franchise. None of the traps would be easy, but if you had to rank them, I feel like Obi’s trap would’ve been one of the easiest to escape. Because on the tape, Jigsaw said, “Only the devil can help you out.” And there was a devil drawn on the inside, and he was pointing to a knob that I’m assuming is a water sprinkler (unless I’m wrong). So I just don’t understand why Obi didn’t go for it. Sure, there were flames in the way, but you’re already on fire, my guy. Excited for the next one!

Lol, I was making my breakfast and listening… Dude, I could still imagine the needle and wrist scenes… that’s how crazy this movie is to me. Glad you got through it. Such a great twist.

If you go through all these, I'm excited for Saw 6

I love your reaction. You are pretty much dedicated to the series and i like your reaction to the needle scene you were cringing and so terrifying and you were traumatized during that scene and the ending to the movie was such an amazing twist and he should’ve listen to jigsaw like literally he told him his son was in a very safe place and in the whole entire time he was in a safe which is very smart on his part and the detective should’ve just listened to him and played along, but he paid the ultimate sacrifice by being locked up in the same room that Amanda was in and the shocking twist of it was Amanda was associated with jigsaw which is absolutely insane and i remember watching saw 2 and 1 and I thought both movies are great and both movies are fantastic on there owe right like this movie fabulous for all the right reason and i enjoyed this movie and I enjoy you reacting to it I just want to say thank you Cole for doing this reaction you are a magical genius and you are almost becoming one of my favorite KZfaqr of all time with all of the other KZfaqrs in the conversation and you always find funny new Ways to make us come back for more i just want to say Love you brother i can wait for you until you react to saw 3 you are going to love that one and i hope you had a great Thursday because my day was crappy and one more thing before i go I’m about to tell you a fun fact so the kid who was playing the detective son in saw 2 happens to be erik Knudsen the same guy who plays as Robbie mercer in scream 4 all right Cole see you later bro peace

Awesome review my friend! Saw 2 was always my favorite due to the quality traps, Great twist, and phenomenal story. Sooo much Jigsaw in this movie, I love it!!

There are so many 90s tv and movie actors here. Dina Meyer (Startship Troopers), Donnie Wahlberg (NKOTB), Bev Mitchell (7th Heaven), Shawnee Smith (Amanda actress, Becker).

The needles & the furnace scene…🤢 I love Jigsaw’s portrayal in this one! He reminds me of Hannibal Lecter, in that you know they are dangerous & evil, but they’re so freaking smart and cool, you can’t help but low-key cheer them on. Messes with your head!😂

21:27. Помню как меня самого наизнанку вывернуло когда эту сцену увидел. До сих пор жутковато )))

Saw 3 is when the franchise starts to get really gory. Can't wait.

Been waiting on this reaction and it delivered!! Can’t wait for the next one!

Whispers talk that shit killed me😅

Great video! I love all your reactions..😊❤

Did you realize that Daniel Matthews is Robbie Mercer from Scream 4?

Tell me where he is. Jigsaw saying he's in a safe place

Not sure if anyone commented this yet but John Kramer’s job was architecture & engineering (makes so much sense lol)

Saw 3 ASAP

This one is soooooo good! Man I loved ur reactions!!! That needle pit made me have to immediately watch behind the scenes!!! She was actually pregnant! And she didn’t tell Xavier until after because she knew he wouldn’t be able to throw her in the pit if he knew! 😉

Though it's not a supernatural movie per se I highly recommend you watch Intensity as part of your Spookathon.

“Distant cousin”. It’s his brother 😂

18:45 underrated line

The Saw movies really makes listening to audio commentaries an watching bonus features. For movies quite rewarding because it gives you insight into how the writers an maybe directors. Because sometimes its the same people that write an direct them . Then sometimes it has writers that just write an directors that just direct them. But it really explains all the hard work that goes into the movies. Because for example non spoiler as always non of the sequels where planned out in advance. So they literally had to go back over everything form the first movie. Its like that through the movie franchise they went movie by movie. Never planning ahead for another movie they had to go what did we do in the other movies. Wich is the complete opposite of Damien Leone starting with Terrifier 2016. When he was writing Terrifier 2016 he was already planning the next at the same time. The same thing with the 2nd movie he was already planning the 3rd. They are seamless because of that planning he did. With the Saw movies they all work seamlessly. Even though they only went to write them when they planned to make them. Because of the hard work an going back over the other movies again. I don't know how you feel about musical type movies. But one of the producers of the Saw made a movie called Repo Man the genetic opera 2008. Its a film by Darren Lynn Bousman. He worked on Saw 2 ,3 an 4 think the likes of Saw but with Oprea so instead of people just getting gutted. They get gutted well the person is singing. I figured bring that movie up because you liked this one .

The look of realization on your face when they walked into the basement bathroom, I had to rewind it a couple times and see it all over again lol. Grab a couple packs of underwear for Saw 3, you’re gonna need it

That’s his brother Donnie Walberg

I'm looking forward to your reaction to the other saw movies 😁 have fun with them 😎

One thing I think we overlook on the Venus fly trap mask is thanks to Saw 2 Flesh and Blood, it's shown under the eye the skin is stitched up, meaning you don't have to cut the eye, you'd just have to cut the stitches and dig underneath... ugh that sounds painful writing that. But yeah I just figured I'd point that out to those who believe you got to actually cut the eyeball out

Let's play a game

Wow I just realize “Only the devil can help you out” was a hint that the knob next to the devil would turn off the fire

I feel like I'm alone in my opinion of 5 being my fav but I'm hoping you end up reacting to it!

Lets gooo 🔥🔥

With all the props to how actually great that movie is and was when I first watched it, on my rewatching I've come to think that they could've done something more in style of the Jigsaw for Erik's tape. In my head-canon, it would be something among the following lines: "Hello, Erik. I want to play a game. Or, rather, I wanted to play a game, but the fact that you are hearing this right now means, that you have already broke the rules. As you did many times in the past. You took shortcuts in your life, crossing those who did you no wrong, but taking shortcuts only makes people one extra step closer to the tomb at a time. And today, by dishonoring the rules of the game, you have reached yours. Game over, Erik. Game over."

Okay, huzzah! I am sitting down with dinner and will type as I watch your reaction. :) I would have died in the first trap, too. I think. I love how as these movies progress it's important to remember previous ones. I love your callbacks to the first one. LOL Is that Mark Wahlberg's cousin? I was glad Amanda was back. I like that you immediately saw Detective Matthews as a jerk. It's hard to empathize when people make poor decisions. haha. I like your interest in John's life, and who he was before this. That was my biggest interest by this film. I do like the feeling of this being a messed up escape room almost. They could have worked together and not had such pain. Your reaction to the needle pit is awesome haha. I love how angry you got at Xavier, and how you turned toward Team jigsaw hahaha. The other people are all the villains. Glad you're watching these, man. You're hilarious!

Saw 1 and 2 are my all time favourite, and the only reason i like 1 better is because i love Adam. His trap is one of the most unfair traps in my opinion since he basically didnt have a way out. It was either Lawrence kills him or he rots away, since the key was put there so it goes down the drain on purpose. Anyway, Saw 2 is amazing too and the ”safe place” twist is such an iconic moment!

Man, Obi getting cooked alive would be rough. You wouldn't just have to listen to a man getting burned up, you'd have to smell his meat cooking. That shit'd probably turn ya vegetarian.

I’m like 97% sure the needle pit makes every sphincter in the body tighten. Gruesome without blood and guts.

"Safe Place". In a SAFE, in THIS PLACE.

I love your videos

You wouldn’t have to cut your eye out. Just a spoon 🥄 lmao

It's near impossible not too feel bad for Eric by the end, as he will never know that his son was already safe

If you want to see a different Billy doll, then I recommend checking out Dead Silence. It might not be one of the greatest horror films, but unlike Saw, this film is actually scary in it's own way. Also, Dead Silence was actually created by the same person who created Saw, so these 2 films share much of the same Universe.

Saw is my favorite horror franchise with 3 being my favorite of the 9 films about to be 10 lol can't wait to see your reaction to 3

Best saw but the rest are crazy too

Like I said last time, most of the "victims" are the actual villains in these films, and Jigsaw is somewhere between vigilante and antihero. There's only a few participants that are actual victims, don't deserve it. You can't tell me the world isn't a better place without Xavier and that creep Mr. Kenobi. And Det. Matthews... got EXACTLY what he deserved. A crooked cop who plants evidence, and used police brutality. In this movie, Jigsaw is my hero. A crooked cop getting his comeuppance. It was justified. Too bad real life doesn't play out the same. Instead, piece of shxt cops tend to get rewarded with medals and promotions.

2 might have my favorite twist of the series.

Soon very soon and then helllooo saw x in November I live in germany

Daniel slit Zavier's throat in the same manner that Danny Glover got his throat slit on the first movie. I'm guessing if you just slash the front of the throat and not the side you can survive it? Just seems like an inconsistency that one lived and one died from the exact same thing. But I suppose a fraction of an inch difference could make all the difference.

If I was the main cop guy I would be so pissed off lol, the little things jigsaw says would just make me so mad, especially if he had my kid captured lol

On a serious note, was there antidote in that needle Never really thought of it till now

A much greater twist than the first movie IMO.

Of all the traps in the history of Saw, the needle pit is the most painful for me to watch.

Sorry brother, couldn’t warn you about that needle pit! I still cringe during that scene. The twist in this one was still really good! Really look forward to seeing your reaction to Saw 3, it has one of my favorite traps.

I understand that they did the "safe place" twist to make it clever, but there is no chance in hell the cops don't open that safe within 5 minutes of entering the building. That's the first thing I would do if I wanted to get some info.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 letss goo

Just wait until you see Saw III. Your loyal viewers will expect that from you shortly. ;)

People do perfer the 2nd one more, but i dont think many people realize the first one was shot in only 18 days. Even though this one was a faster pace and had more gore i am still in awe that the original was so great with the short amount of time and budget they had for the movie. And that a movie with a limited budget and shooting schedule was able to be the spring board for this huge franchise

Eric Matthews is one of the most unlikable characters in the series. Not only is he such a corrupted police officer but he is just a terrible person in general. Dude cheated on his wife with his partner Kerry (the same female officer from the first movie) and is not a good father at all. Also didn't help that he framed all of the people in the Nerve Gas House for crimes they didn't do. I hate that his son Daniel had to suffer for his father's sins but on the bright side, he made it out alive. All Eric had to sit and listen to john talk until the timer was off LOL. Also fun facts: the trap that the chick Addison fell into was not meant for her. That hand trap was actually meant for Gus, the dude who got shot in the eye. According to an early script of Saw II, the hand trap was designed to: "punish the hands that had harmed innocent others when his anger had reached its peak," suggesting that Gus was abusive when enraged and in another version of Gus' instruction tape, it alluded to him: "reaching his hand into the cookie jar for money," implying that he was guilty of embezzlement or theft. Which would kind of explained why he acted so reckless and aggressive in the film. In the original script, Addison's trap was supposed to resemble a waffle iron. Upon trying to grab the antidote, two clamps would have trapped her wrists and slowly heated up. To free herself, she had to press her face against a third hot iron positioned right in front of her. Doing so would have activated a mechanism that released her from the clamps so she could obtain the syringe. Her instruction tape would have said something to the effect of: "having to sacrifice her looks to save her life" due to her being a sex worker/prostitute. That would had been wild to see on film and its sad that they didn't shoot that. Would had been kind of intense to see!

I think you misspoke when you called Amanda Johns predecessor. Pretty sure you mean successor. Predecessor comes before, successor comes after.

Like the t-shirt 🤩

I might get flack for this but Saw X is my personal favorite movie other than the first one

So. If you pay attention closer to the open. All he had to do was open the stitches. They key was there.

Now you know that even time can't be trusted in the Saw movies. Because it can show events in any order or simultaneously depending. On whose point of view its coming from this is why the Saw movies are like a 4d chess game. This is why John Kramer or Jigsaw is one of the scarier kinds of horror villains. Even more scarier then Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger or Leather Face. They may have the better physical capabilities but they really don't think ahead or plan ahead. But John Kramer or Jigsaw makes up for the lack of physical capabilities. By being super intelligent so he literally and figuratively plans 10 steps ahead. So if he comes at you from any direction all the other directions are already covered. So he will get you no matter what you do because theres no place to run. Its like the old saying goes brains over brawn brains wins every time. Now about the needle pit yeah thats nasty an hard to watch. I mean I can watch everything in Terrifier 2016 an Terrifier 2 an even worse. With no problem but that needle pit thats just not right on so many levels. Also non spoiler for the movie Trick R Treat 2007. You may want to pay attention to that movie like you are the Saw movies. Because all I will say is the writer and director of Trick R Treat 2007. Put the same level of highly detailed planning into it on the same level as John Kramer or Jigsaw. Did all his games in the Saw movies.

The gas that was pumped into the main game is supposedly the same one used in the 1995 Tokyo train attacks. Why wasn't the FBI already looking at John if he had it? After the attacks on Tokyo, all governments internationally were watching anyone like hawks.

1:46 definitely not. Like if my life is in danger and i have to kill someone else? I mean sorry random guy but yeah I'll do it. But there is no way no matter how much i need to that im digging a key out from behind my own eye

Your channel has become one of my favorites to watch, your reactions to the movies are just as entertaining as the movies you watch!! 🫶🏼

That is actor Donnie Wahlberg he is brother of Mark Wahlberg

bro you have no idea what is waiting for you in the next movies

After this movie you have 7 left...then September 29th, Saw X

If I’m not mistaken the women playing amanda was pregnant while filming the pit scene

Great reaction would you check out the horror movie the circle

Saw 1 was better .... but i like 2 better. I like how it had more people, the swat team, Amanda etc

There’s a great twist at the end of this one. One of the best. But this one starts the problem of always having annoying alpha male dudes being toxic. This one has two. The muscle dude and Donnie Wahlberg. If he had just calmed down for a second and listened to him, he would have been fine. He goes on a rant tearing everything up and look where it got him. I also didn’t like the nerve gas situation. Lame way for people to die in this. Game over!

The second one is the worst one
