As if the Death of a Child from Saw III wasn't enough, it also explicitly depicts the miscarriage of an unborn baby in a flashback.

In reality, a ton of dissection is needed to remove the brain. Speaking of the autopsy, John somehow managed to swallow a tape coated in wax, which also worked perfectly after it was removed from his corpse. Brenda's trap wouldn't tear her scalp in real life. The hair would be ripped and torn out before the scalp would. Hair might be strong, but it's not that strong.

Just like Lawrence and Adam, Eric and Hoffman are trapped in a small room at the Gideon Meatpacking Plant with Art having them on hold while overseeing Rigg's game. Similarly to Adam with Zep, Rigg finds out that Art had an instruction tape with him, and Hoffman unties himself from his chair, matching John getting up in the first film.

Go back where it all began." This triggers a memory-based flashback of him at an elementary school in his early police career as a regular uniformed cop; in the present, said school (confirmed by invokedWord of God to be the abandoned one previously seen in Saw III) is the building that Rigg subsequently goes to and where he finds the place for his next test.

As the first who rules out that Amanda wasn't solely responsible for putting Kerry in the Angel Trap and that John couldn't have assisted her due to his condition at the time, he makes it clear within the first moments of his introduction that he deduces Jigsaw must have a second apprentice beyond Amanda. Later, he figures out that the Urban Renewal Group's motto "four walls build a home" could reference the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, and proceeds to go there. Unfortunately for him, things with the other cops (including fellow agent Perez) get out of hand so thoroughly that even with his intelligence, the situation overwhelms him a good deal.

While the spikes went through Rex's major arteries, they didn't penetrate Morgan's, and she has the task of pulling out the spikes which will kill him, but allow her to escape and seek help for her and their daughter. While Morgan pulled out most of the spikes, she lost consciousness at some point before Rigg comes to the scene and pulls the last spike from her, ultimately leading to Morgan's survival.

Cecil doesn't develop Stockholm Syndrome or forgive John for putting him in a death trap. No, he's royally pissed off and once he gets out, he immediately bum-rushes John with every intent of kicking his ass.

Rigg is essentially "recruited" to stand in for Jigsaw towards the various victims he finds throughout his trial, Eric is helpless and psychologically broken after being held hostage by Jigsaw for six months (to the point where he tries to kill himself in the new trap he's put into), and Hoffman turns out to be another Jigsaw apprentice. Averted by Strahm and Perez. They're both scripted as highly intelligent FBI agents, and despite Perez being his junior, Strahm treats her with complete respect, even breaking down in tears and talking to her mother on phone when she's critically wounded in his sight. While both agents eventually get overwhelmed by the pressure of the situation, Strahm figures out that the main action is taking place at the Gideon Meatpacking Plant.

His trap and both Ivan and Riggs's involvement in it is analogous to Ivan's crimes in the following ways: he's forced into position by Rigg like how Ivan forced his victims into position, strapped to the bed in a very similar fashion to his victims, and Ivan has to blind himself like he blindfolded his victims. The purpose of the trap, should he fail, is to tear him apart, like how the tape states that he tore apart his victim's lives.

Saw IV / int_ecbf37ff	comment	Disposable Sex Worker: Brenda, a pimp and the victim of the Hair Trap. Rigg is told not to save her, but he does anyway only to have her attempt to kill him as part of her own individual "test" from Jigsaw. He ends up killing her in self-defense.

Saw IV / int_fea60f97	type	Cut Apart
Saw IV / int_fea60f97	comment	Cut Apart: Downplayed. Rigg and Strahm run into the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, where it's revealed that the film is taking place at the same time as Saw III, yet it seems that Strahm is still going after Rigg after witnessing what previously happened during his trial. However, Strahm actually follows Jeff's path instead, witnessing the events of the previous film's climax in the process.
