Michel & Michel only have a few minutes to unearth the false connections of the first three “Saw” films or risk angering Jigsaw…
This week, the indestructible Jigsaw is back in the cinema, thanks to a little plot twist that allows Tobin Bell to return to torment new victims. On the occasion of the release of Saw ‘them !
So, what did AlloCiné’s technical specialists find in Saw (2004), Saw II (2005) and Saw III (2006)? Not very insightful characters, a padlock that turns into a chain, a chain that completely changes legs (!), a stopwatch that acts up, a self-cleaning shirt, magic pliers or a beautiful reflection of a technician. In short, heavy, very very heavy, as always with our two friends. And you can see it in the video above!
These blunders, errors and mistakes should allow you to (re)see these first three opuses with another eye for your next Halloween. Keeping in mind that the films in the Saw saga are to be reserved for an informed audience: spectators over 16 years old for most episodes, with even a ban on under 18s for one of them!
Inspired by a short film, Saw launched the career of James Wan (future director of Insidious, Conjuring, Fast and Furious 7 and Aquaman) in 2004, and exposed the torture-porn subgenre to a wide audience, relaunched with the Hostel franchise. With exceptional profitability (1 million dollars budget, more than 100 million dollars worldwide), the feature film initiates a prolific and very lucrative saga, with nearly 900 million greenbacks garnered for limited investments.
