Saw VI / int_109dbb51 | comment |
In Saw V, when John is talking to Hoffman after kidnapping him from the elevator, John mentions that Hoffman's pendulum was made of inferior steel, and that tempered steel makes a cleaner cut. In this movie, Perez and Erickson find that the jigsaw piece cut from Eddie was cut with a serrated knife, and not Jigsaw's usual tempered scalpel. This is the thread that begins to unravel Hoffman's attempts to cover his tracks. | |

Human Shield | |
Saw VI / int_132d93f1 | comment |
In the first one, as his attempt to frame Strahm as Jigsaw's second accomplice pitifully falls apart in front of him, Hoffman successfully pulls off a move that only a desperate idiot would normally attempt — he kills two gun-carrying FBI agents (and fairly major characters) using only a knife, a cup of coffee and a minor character as a Human Shield; Hoffman then works to re-establish Strahm as the Jigsaw accomplice by planting his fingerprints all over the crime lab, then setting it aflame... with a still-breathing but rapidly dying Erickson left behind. | |

Heel–Face Door-Slam: William passes all his tests and learns his lesson about helping people. Then it's revealed that the family of one of the people he let die are also playing a game: Letting him live or not. They choose not to, as they never forgave him, and he dies one of the most violent and painful deaths in the series. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
Saw VI / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: The Oxygen Crusher consists of two contraptions consisted of two big metal clamps aiming at the victims' bodies from the sides. Once the game began, a highly sensitive pump measured their breathing activity. Each time one of them took a breath, the clamps would close in and eventually crush their body. Once someone dies, the trap would deactivate with the second victim free to go. However, due to Hank's smoking habits and health issues, there is legitimately no way he could ever win against William even if the latter intentionally tried to lose. Due to the expansive nature of William's trial, it seems Jigsaw was even aware of this and never expected Hank to win. | |

Saw VI / int_1d18887f | comment |
Pay Evil unto Evil: At least, William is evil from Tara's viewpoint. At the end, Tara is given an opportunity to do this, as she is allowed to choose whether the man who denied her husband's health insurance lives or dies. She shouts that she's going to do it, and her hand closes around the lever... but ultimately, she can't go through with it. Unfortunately for William, while Tara can't pay evil unto evil, her son can; Brent pulls the lever and kills William. | |

Diabolus ex Machina: William has been put through utter hell and has apparently learned his lesson about the true implications of deciding who lives and who dies based on greed, and advances to the final test, where he finds himself face to face with the wife and son of a man who died because William cancelled his coverage. And it's their game, not his. Cue the son flipping a switch that injects William with gallons of acid. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
Saw VI / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: In a non-trap example, Erickson has his jugular vein cut out by Hoffman and is left writhing on the floor. After killing Perez and Sachi, Hoffman then douses him with gasoline and burns him and the whole room down. William ends up having a bed of needles launched into his back with hydrofluoric acid pumped into them, which essentially eats through his stomach and completely separates his upper and lower torso. And it takes a while. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Three of them from previous films. The biggest one is the note that Amanda read in Saw III. We find out that it was a blackmail by Hoffman in this movie. At the climax, we are shown that the box John left Jill in his will at the beginning of Saw V had the contents for Hoffman's test. In Saw V, when John is talking to Hoffman after kidnapping him from the elevator, John mentions that Hoffman's pendulum was made of inferior steel, and that tempered steel makes a cleaner cut. In this movie, Perez and Erickson find that the jigsaw piece cut from Eddie was cut with a serrated knife, and not Jigsaw's usual tempered scalpel.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog | |
Saw VI / int_272abb98 | comment |
Shoot the Shaggy Dog: William may well be the biggest example of this in the series. In order, he had to: hold his breath for a painful duration so that another guy will trigger a trap and get himself killed; choose whether to save an old, diabetic mother or a perfectly healthy loner; suffer severe steam burns while trying to help his company's lawyer escape a maze and then nearly get hacked open when she tries to find the key necessary to save her life; and then choose which two of his insurance analysts will live, condemning the other four to death. Eventually, it turns out that he was never really in control of his own fate, and he dies at the hands of an angry, vengeful teenager. | |

Life-or-Limb Decision: The very first trap of the film has an overweight man (Eddie) and a small woman (Simone) competing against one another for their survival. They're told to hack off parts of their skin, and the one whose pile weighs the most survives. Simone wins by hacking off her arm to outdo Eddie, who was cutting into his stomach. | |

Memory Trigger | |
Saw VI / int_31a4e7b2 | comment |
Memory Trigger: Hoffman telling Jill that he'll no longer see her once he's finished with all the tasks listed in the envelopes Jill left him makes the latter reminisce of the time John tried to show her that his "method of rehabilitation" works by showing Amanda (who had recently come out from her test back in the first movie) to her. In the main game, William uncovers text written on his skin under each of the strapped bombs he takes off with each key he finds, vaguely nodding to different past encounters he had with John. Each text uncovered leads to a flashback corresponding to each of these events. Hoffman himself gets a Memory Trigger when he enters the surveillance room for William's game and finds a blackmail letter (left there by Jill as part of her sneak attack on him) he had sent to Amanda back in Saw III, with the ensuing flashback montage revealing the sequence when Hoffman wrote it and Amanda read it using footage between Saw III and IV. | |

Secret Test of Character: As the climax reveals, John's test that he alluded to Hoffman in his farewell tape to him back in Saw IV was to test Hoffman himself with a new version of the Reverse Bear Trap, which Jill sets up as part of John's request to her. Even though Jill deliberately made it unwinnable, Hoffman manages to beat the trap through improvised means and live. | |

Xanatos Speed Chess: Hoffman is called by Erickson and Perez to go to the local FBI headquarters' audio lab with them, where an audio technician is analyzing the Pendulum Trap's tape. The analysis reveals that Hoffman's the true second wanted apprentice, so his plan to frame Strahm fails. Hoffman pulls an insane move in response: he murders the technician, Erickson and Perez with only a knife and a cup of coffee. Afterwards, he plants Strahm's fingerprints all over the lab, and then burns the place down. | |

Numerological Motif | |
Saw VI / int_509769e7 | comment |
Numerological Motif: Being the sixth Saw film, there are several allusions to the number six throughout Saw VI. Overall, there are six traps in the film, including the opening trap and all the five traps in William's trial. This is further cemented by one of the film's taglines: "6 chances. 6 lessons. 6 choices." One of the traps in itself, the Carousel Trap, has six victims. Jill is seen holding an instruction envelope from the box with the number six written on it, likely implying that there were six of them inside the box. The film's "Hello Zepp" rendition, "Zepp Six", clocks at six minutes within the six-minute climax. | |

Spanner in the Works: Pamela's obsession with Jigsaw leads her to find the letter Hoffman used to blackmail Amanda. While Jill denies knowledge of it when Pamela pesters her over it, she's actually furious enough over it to later sabotage Hoffman's game, making Hoffman go completely mad and have his identity outed to the public when Jill seeks police protection in the next film. In the director's cut, Brent of all people inadvertently came close to putting an end to Hoffman when the decision to kill William sets off the timer to the reverse bear trap that he narrowly escapes. | |

Dying Declaration of Hate | |
Saw VI / int_7cb9e33 | comment |
Dying Declaration of Hate: Perez gets a subtle one as her last words; once Hoffman is outed as being the wanted second Jigsaw apprentice and the one who tried to frame Strahm as being said apprentice before he died, he goes on an absolute rampage and kills the people with him in the FBI's technical lab, ending it with Perez. He stabs her constantly while asking her who else knows that it's been him all along, to which Perez simply replies, "Everyone." Hoffman tried to frame her partner of five years for heinous crimes, even using his severed hand to try and pull it off, and Perez's last act, now content in the knowledge that Strahm was innocent, is letting Hoffman know that every law enforcement agency in the city will be out for his head. | |

Filibuster Freefall | |
Saw VI / int_836f14cd | comment |
Filibuster Freefall: This film has a plot that's oddly more political than the rest of the series, including following films. The opening trap has a pair of Loan Sharks as its victims, and the plot's series-typical origin storyline (which serves as the base for the film's main game) is about how John was outraged that his health insurance company denied him access to a potentially lifesaving treatment and destroyed his life; this matches the United States' healthcare situation in 2009 (the year the film was released), when the foreclosure crisis and healthcare reform were at the top of the American political agenda. One scene even has John rant about how politicians who claim that healthcare decisions should be in the hands of doctors and their patients are dishonest because it's actually the insurance companies who make all the decisions. | |

Then Hoffman asks her if she learned anything, causes her to lash out and pretty much demand to know what exactly she was supposed to learn from cutting her arm off. | |

Didn't Think This Through: In the origin storyline, John is first seen meeting William at a party in Jill's clinic, where he chides him for his questionable policy on denying insurance claims. In a subsequent scene, we're shown that John unwisely proceeded to become a client of William's, so he ended up finding out just how monstrous the policy's picture was when he was repeatedly refused coverage for an experimental cancer treatment. | |

Men Are the Expendable Gender: Given a choice between saving the women or the men, William generally saves the women. Two women do die, but he had no means to control that: Debbie attacked him in an effort to save herself before he could make his own attempt (which he was willing to do), so her death is her own fault. In the Shotgun Carousel, he could only save two out of six people with equal gender distribution, so one woman had to die. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
Saw VI / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Hoffman, twice, and both at times when it seems like he's going down in defeat. In the first one, as his attempt to frame Strahm as Jigsaw's second accomplice pitifully falls apart in front of him, Hoffman successfully pulls off a move that only a desperate idiot would normally attempt — he kills two gun-carrying FBI agents (and fairly major characters) using only a knife, a cup of coffee and a minor character as a Human Shield; Hoffman then works to re-establish Strahm as the Jigsaw accomplice by planting his fingerprints all over the crime lab, then setting it aflame... with a still-breathing but rapidly dying Erickson left behind. Just minutes later, Hoffman is on the wrong end of a new Reverse Bear Trap model thanks to Jill, who reveals that this is part of John's will; as she exits the room, Hoffman bashes his way out of his restraints by using the trap, prevents the trap from opening fully, and finally rips the thing off, only getting his right cheek shred in the process. At first, Jill seems to be an innocent victim of John's schemes due to her implicit involvement as his ex-wife. At the climax, she knocks out Hoffman with an electrocuted chair and puts him in the Reverse Bear Trap 2.0, all without a hint of remorse in her face. William to an extent. He's a corrupt insurance executive who completes all of his tests, endures some severe wounds, gets hot steam blown into his face, and fought off Debbie long enough for a speargun that was attached in the harness she was stuck in to activate, which kills her. And he does all of that while his limbs are strapped with bombs. | |

Inverted with Sachi, who wears a black shirt in the only scene where she appears, and dies when she's gunned to death by Perez while Hoffman uses her as a meat shield towards the latter, leaving a visible trail of blood when Hoffman drops her into a wall. | |

All for Nothing: William manages to guide Debbie out of the steam maze, incurring serious burns from hot air in the process, upon which they realize that the key to her freedom is sewn within William's side. As he tries to get it himself, Debbie begins swinging a nearby circular saw at him, escalating things into a fight for no substantial reason. Unsurprisingly, Debbie's time runs out as a result, and she is killed. William's death could very much be considered this. After going through a series of demanding traps, which leads to him realizing the error of his ways and the value of the lives of the clients he had indirectly killed by denying coverage, William gets killed by the son of one of said rejected clients, ultimately making his redemption completely meaningless. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
Saw VI / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: The general theme of most of William's tests, meant to reflect the choices between who lives and who dies he routinely makes through his insurance company. The Gallows. William's file clerk Allen and secretary Addy have nooses of barbed wire and are on a hinged platform supported by chains which William must hold in his hands. The chains become more and more taut every few seconds, and if he doesn't let one go, both will fall. Addy is an old, diabetic woman (not worth covering according to William's insurance policy) with a family while Allen is a young, perfectly healthy loner (worth covering). William eventually lets go of Allen, sparing Addy. The Shotgun Carousel. William's six insurance inspectors — Aaron, Emily, Gena, Dave, Shelby, and Josh, collectively known as the "Dog Pit" — are chained to a carousel with a loaded gun in front of it. The carousel will periodically stop rotating, causing the gun to fire and kill someone. However, if William is willing to press a pair buttons in a box that will drive a nail into his hand, he can divert the gun so it fires harmlessly up into the air instead of killing someone. The catch is, he can only do this twice, and the carousel will not stop until the gun has fired six times, so William can only pick two people to save, leaving the other four to die. This is Jigsaw's way of criticizing William's policy, which is responsible for two-thirds of insurance applicants being rejected and left to die. William decides to spare Emily and Shelby. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
Saw VI / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Downplayed with William. John considers him one for denying customers coverage when it could have saved their lives or eased their sickness, but it's clear that he doesn't enjoy doing so, and his interest is more in protecting company profits rather than actually wanting to hurt anyone. That said, William did develop his so-called "formula" to determine who gets coverage and who doesn't (even having bragged to John about it once), and is fully onboard with his subordinates poking holes in insurance applications and effectively screwing his clients out of their coverage for even minor or unintentional oversights. Ultimately, while William isn't a corrupt man personally, he was happily perpetuating a corrupt health insurance system before being subjected to a game. Entirely played straight with William's "Dog Pit" of insurance inspectors, as they looked for loopholes in William's policy to deny people insurance, and most (if not all) don't seem to feel any remorse over it. | |

Once the game begins, he does everything possible to help the other victims, his employees, from the very first test, even being willing to cut himself open to save his lawyer while she's coming at him with a buzzsaw. | |

Morally Bankrupt Banker | |
Saw VI / int_dbab18ef | comment |
Morally Bankrupt Banker: The opening trap's victims are a pair of bankers who loaned money to people who they knew couldn't pay it back, and proceeded to extract from them every pound of flesh they could with interest on their debt. Jigsaw punishes them by forcing them to give up their own "pound of flesh": whoever cuts off the most of their flesh (measured by the scale they put it on) gets to live, while the other dies from a pair of drills to the brain attached to the helmets they're wearing. | |

Decoy Protagonist: As William realizes, the movie's main game isn't his: it's that of the family of one of the people he's let die. | |

Space Whale Aesop | |
Saw VI / int_e8760868 | comment |
Space Whale Aesop: If you want someone to quit smoking, don't buy them a nicotine patch. Just force them to watch the scene where a poor janitor has his chest crushed in a Jigsaw trap just because he was a smoker with bad lungs. They'll never pick up a cigarette again. Providing methadone and other compassionate care for people with substance abuse disorders? Bad, enabling, creating leaches on society. The best way to treat substance abuse disorder is to bring a person inches away from a gruesome death and make them stab someone in the stomach, look through their entrails and find a key to unlock themselves. Sure, it'll also turn them into murderers in their own right, but hey, better than methadone. | |

Flash Forward | |
Saw VI / int_edf68f1a | comment |
Flash Forward: Two flashforwards within a flashback, to be specific. A flashback set shortly before Saw III comes with a couple flashforwards to events seen before in different movies. The flashback opens with Hoffman carrying an unconscious person; a flashforward to the Rack in Saw III clarifies that the person in question is Timothy. In their last encounter before the former's death, John gives Jill a key, which is juxtaposed with a flashforward to Jill using the key to open the black box in Saw V. | |

The Starscream: A flashback in this movie reveals that Hoffman blackmailed Amanda into failing her test in III, setting off the chain of events that led to the deaths of both her and John in quick succession. Jill later caught onto this deception, and angrily tries to sabotage Hoffman's test. | |

You Killed My Father: Brent's inability to surmount his anger towards William for being responsible for his father's death is what enables him to flips the switch that activates William's death after his mother is unable to bring herself to do so. As quoted in Pre-Mortem One-Liner above, he even says the line of the trope name as he does it. | |
