Think whatever you want of Strahm but the self tracheotomy move is one of the most badass things in any of these movies.

Fun fact: The glass box trap in the ending was created by the director's son who was about 8 years old at the time of production/pre-production. Originally, the room was supposed to fill up with water but decided on doing something else since it would had been kind of hard to shoot. So, David Hackl's son came up with the idea of a crushing room instead. In case you didn't know, David Hackl is the production designer of the Saw films and Saw V being his film debut as a film director. The ending was pretty wild and messed up but I like that idea better in honestly. Shame how Strahm went out like a fool in the end man.

Poor Strahm I've reviewed this franchise a few times and haven't noticed what an interesting character he is

What not a lot of people think about with the revolver in the peep hole trap, you don't _have_ to be looking through the peep hole for the revolver to kill you lol I see a lot of people saying "no one EVER looks through a peep hole as they're opening a door" and yeah that may be true, but your body is most likely still in front of the peep hole the moment you turn the key, so the revolver is still going to shoot you regardless, just maybe not through the eye.

I think the main twist is that Strahm was supposed to trust Hoffman and get into the glass box. He failed the first test by proceeding in Jigsaw's factory, and then he failed his second test by following Hoffman and disregarding the rules. Hoffman also learned how to predict how people will behave from Jigsaw. The minor twist is that everyone had to work together in the five man game.

Strahm was my absolute favorite character, every time I watch Saw V Im so sad when I see him die but get the chills when he is pointed out as a suspect at the same time, loved the way he made it through Hoffman's way of thinking and figuring him out but still failed in saving himself.

Regarding the connection of the big game in this movie: in the first Saw film, in police flashbacks, the young detective was able to pinpoint the location of Jigsaw's hideout because of the fire alarm heard on one of the videos. That fire alarm was to the fire those people were responsible for.

I'm hooked with your reactions lmao I love how much you're enjoying the series. I couldn't stop grinning at your reaction of Strahm's death, I think that was everyone's. I loved him so much, his death wrecked me when I was a kid! There's something so sad about seeing a man that strong and stoic screaming so horrifically. No matter how strong you are, a horrible death is a horrible death. Loving these reactions!

4:21 - 4.28 Lmao! 👍 13:47 Tobin Bell is fab! He has a very small role near the start of 'In The Line of Fire' (1993), it's a great scene - he even gives someone a very difficult decision that they're forced to make. Echoes of things to come. 16:06 Get her away from the bath-tub, I'm getting Dexter vibes! 😅 Julie Benz' life matters. 😍 25:06 Amusing message on the whiteboard.

In regards to your comment about Riggs at the end of Saw 4, he was shot by Eric Matthews upon bursting through the door. Even though it was to the stomach region, I'm pretty sure it ended up being fatal based on what I've read online.

I'm so glad u have continued with these movies and hoping like hell u will watch them all. I love how things come back in these later movies.

I think the twist was supposed to be that the people in the game covered up the murders in the house from Saw 2. The house was renovated. At least that's how I remember it. It's been a while since I watched any past 3.

I might be off here, but I believe that the original idea was that Strahm was the person that investigated the building fire, making it look like he was also involved. I really like the idea of the twist of this movie pretty much being that there is no real twist, mostly everything is pretty obvious by the time we get to the end. They marketed this heavy on the twist being 'unbelievable'. The savages, lmao

I LOVE HOFFMAN!

Love the head box trap! One of my favs endings too! I really like 6 as well.

Jigsaw is one of my favorite horror villains because of how smart he is and getting to see glimpses of him setting up previous traps is so interesting

"I don't like the idea of Jigsaw setting up a game where someone HAS to die" Uuuuh yeah about that

Strahm was originally gonna survive Saw V and battle it out with Hoffman in Saw VI and Strahm was going to win.

The next one is the best in the series next to the first imo

Personally, I'm glad the neo-Nazi in the first trap got what he deserved. But most of the people in the traps are not victims... they're the actual villains.

You said, "No one looks through a key hole", but anyone would if they knew Jigsaw put them in the room because he is known for booby traps. You would want to know what was waiting for you on the other side.

“Was there meant to be a twist in this movie?” THANK you!

So for Saw IV the main reason why they showed johns autopsy at the beginning was to make the viewer believe that the film was taking place after the third one the major twist was the the fourth movie took place during the same time as the third movie there are a lot of clues that point to it the cop telling Hoffman about the doctor going missing no mention of John being dead it’s left ambiguous and Hoffman having a stuffed animal for a kid which is Jeff and Lynn’s daughter but yeah that’s why they did that sorry for the long post

Officer Rigg was shot by Eric when he told him not to come thru the door. He shot him to hopefully stop him but it didn’t and he got thru this killing Eric. He most likely bled out/died from the gunshot wound.

I love these movies so much even tho the views drop on every of your saw movie reactions I'll definitely keep watching and I thank you for your reactions.

Rigg died because Matthew’s shot him to try and stop him from going into the room

Will you watch SAW X this year? It's set between SAW and SAW II and it's mainly about John Kramer (Jigsaw).

Absolutely agree Saw 5 is better than 4. I think 4 is the least memorable of all Saw films, including Saw '7' Final Chapter, which isn't great haha

Hoffman definitely took note on anticipating their moves. It was such a great ending and showed Hoffman is more than we thought

14:57 sounded exactly like Colin Robinson from 'What We Do In the Shadows'

I never thought about it but yeah, this is one of the few games Hoffman built where it was winnable, but it was John who designed it so does that even count?

Even if noone looked through the key hole it would still hit anyone standing infront of the door. Furthermore it was meant more as an example to be more carefull from this point on and watch your step than to realy kill anyone.

think about the VIEW from that box of Strahm getting crushed 😬oh know the blood blocks the view of how it ended

Saw 6 is my favorite!

We saw tapp die in the first saw when he got shot by Zepp I think

in the 1st movie though if lawerence won by killing Adam then he couldn't win and the key in the tub if it didn't go down the drain at the begining he could of gotten out of the chain so Lawerence would have had a moving target XD what if he used the 'dead' guy as a human sheild

12:04 so fun fact, in an extended cut of Saw 3D, this woman appears, missing an eye Mark was so pissed off at her being mean once he put her in a trap

2 pints of blood loss, assuming the wound is closed and no longer bleeding can still easily kill you

Hoffman is ome of my fav character in the saw franchise.

oh man, saw 6 its the third best one IMO. a great one. then it all goes full clownery

House Strahm entered is the nerve gas house from Saw 2. Not sure you noticed, but maybe I missed the reaction.

Here's a playlist explaining the timeline of every character in the saw movies (I suggest you finish all the movies first before watching all the videos in the playlist) kzfaq.info/sun/PL6D7fwWf7xJsO6uEeZswfjLPzJJFkKLC6

i loved mr s he was awesome!!!!

just want to point out that's not Gus's doctor, but the Cartel's lead chemist who Jesse Pinkman put in his place. :D

Everyone always says they have problems with the traps where someone has to die ironically you brought it up in this one but it was like that and saw one it was either Adam or Lawrence's wife and daughter so it's not inconsistency it's just hypocrisy.

question? shouldnt the cops have took that box from her? evidence nah?

You keep saying they had people to feed, they could’ve just gotten different jobs? Same way the people they denied also had people to feed.

My man started really struggling and confusing himself by jumping the gun on shit way too fucking soon. Jesus.

I think Saw 4 is the worst of the original 7. From what I remember 6 is one of the best from 3-7.

Julie Benz is so *beautiful* in this movie

Please watch ALPHA DOG is a true story and made me not trust people also dont search it it'll spoil it

I think your looking at the trap wrong there is some things that are planned but some of the tapes and stuff and traps are not from jigsaw i feel like you just dont like how the other characters do it compared to jigsaw which is the point of it lol

Rigg died because Eric shot him.

Personally, this is my favorite Saw film! The Strahm v Hoffman cat and mouse is a lot of fun, as is the Fatal Five!

You love Jigsaw, but hello! Hoffman is just doing what Jigsaw's forcing him to do. Yeah he goes crazy killing everyone later but he's just trying to protect himself. Love Hoffman😍

Hm, watch another Saw reaction or go to sleep. "Make your choice".

A lot of people don't like this one, but personally it's one of my favourites.

2 things. First, that woman looked nothing like Jamie Lynn Spears. Second, that was a practical effect they used for the dropping head. There may have been a cg mask over the face, but for the most part it was a practical effect. Take it from someone who went to college to learn digital film editing, don't question the effects unless you actually know how the shots are done.
