    Personally I like the theory that Gordon was the one who left the pen in Strahm's pocket - Considering the fact it was the ONLY thing left on his person whilst everything else on him was deliberately taken off his person, it was definitely planted there. Makes sense that Gordon, as a doctor, would know a tracheostomy would save Strahm's life, because Hoffman DEFINITELY intended for everyone to die in that scenario, but because of how Saw 3 and 4 are linked, it would make sense that Gordon was around (maybe as a 'just in case something messes up' scenario), since he's the one who suggested Lynn to John.

      especially because gordon’s own pen is what linked him to the scene in saw 1.

    Dr. Gordon coming back is SO SATISFYING. Like I will rewatch the end of 3D just to get that moment of him saying "game over" to Hoffman. Gah. I have no idea why it's so satisfying to me lol.

  • @melindagreer4177

    I think they had the Amanda scene planned out. At least the note and who it was from already planned. Hoffmen immediately took center stage after that scene, essentially becoming the main deciple (aside from Dr Gorden, wink wink), and the character motivation just lines up too perfectly. At the very least, the idea that she was being solicited to make that choice and didnt want to actually kill Lin was there. She really didn't want to, and she potrayed that in the scene. It wasn't out of rage, or exasperation, or jealousy. It was depression.

    In a post-credit scene Amanda tells Corbett "not to trust the person who will save her."
    After we see Hoffman take her out of the factory in Saw V I would not be the least bit surprised if she relayed this information to the cops and deliberately played dumb until they were able to verify if he was actually involved or not.

    One overlooked smart move was in Saw 1 when Jigsaw had an escape plan for when / if his hideout had been discovered.
    Having the shotguns hidden away & armed at the ready was dope move to be fair!
    Another possible big brain move was the fire alarm that was pulled in Saw 1 in the video tape that helped the detectives find Jigsaws hideout.
    Possibly pulled by Hoffman as means to get out of Jigsaws blackmail if John was taken out. Hoffman would've walk away as a freeman.

    Dumbest moments could include:
    1. Judge Halden standing in the way of the bullet.
    2. Bobby Dagen using the hooks in his chest, when there were several ways to cheat.
    3. Zep in Saw I could have helped by going to police or hospital, as there was no immediate threat keeping him in the Gordons' house. He even knew where the bathroom was and that there was a literal killer sedated on the floor.
    4. Obi and Addison had traps which were easy to totally avoid
    5. How did the Fatal Five not realise they had to "work together". I don't think they all would have survived anyway, but I always found it a bit astounding that the big twist was just that there is no i in team.

    • @Shadowcat753
      @Shadowcat753 Год назад +7

      Let's not forget Jeff basically getting himself injured without saving anyone other than Judge Halden - make up your mind, Jeff!!! Either leave those people to die or help them out ASAP!
      Or the two-timing chick at the start of Saw 3D - if you had picked a side (either guy), you'd likely have the guys only going after each other rather than you with the saw blade!

    Make it a top 20 dumbest decisions list, that would be epic.
    Honourable mentions for smartest decisions:
    Saw 3D - 2 guys decide to sacrifice their cheating girlfriend instead of each other.
    Saw VI - girl on the carousel saying she is pregnant (can't remember if she survived or not, but the idea was good in theory).
    Saw X - the hospital worker deciding NOT to steal from the patient.

    • @kittykittycat_

    I think people are way to hard on the people making "dumb" decisions in saw movies. You cant imagine the shock, terror, stress and fear you would feel waking up having no clue as whats happening and then someone says you have 1 minute to escape or you will die. First and foremost I think a lot of people would think it was some practical joke and when they realise its real they dont have that much time left. Plus we who are watching the movie get to know pretty much everything while most of the victims dont know anything about jigsaw.

  • @Vegan32

    It was planned to bring Dr. Gordon back but because of the actor's grievance with getting substantial pay, he didn't appear till 7. That being said I find it VERY hard to believe that the directors weren't planning on utilizing him in some way. It's kind of wrong and silly to say the entire series was rewritten and retconned, and the same goes for claiming it was all inspired from fans. I really don't appreciate this perspective because it takes away from the writing of the series. There are issues and setbacks in the writing, but it's still pretty solid. I personally feel this video is very opinion based and not really grounded in facts.
