always thought elwes delivery was the worst part of the first saw movie…odd.

Dax I think your right. I think they explained it in either Saw 2 or 3

Hopefully Sean Patrick Flanery just plays his Boondock Saints character and shows up near the beginning to shoot everyone, putting the series out of its misery.

Such a tired, mean-spirited, played-out franchise. The first picture was brutal but compelling. All the others have pretty much sucked, tho I didn’t see the last one. #6 got its ass kicked by Paranormal Activity, and I’m sure this Hallowe’en season there’ll be some other new horror film far more contemporary than this franchise finale.

Justin, I wouldn’t say they were a failure, certainly not from a “cash cow” perspective. Yeah, the sequels have really dropped off in terms of quality, but in terms of money making, Saw 6 was the first one not to make 10x its budget in returns. As long as there is money to made, they planned to keep making them, but 6 didn’t do nearly as well money-wise (only made about 5.5x their budget in returns) and that’s quite a drop-off, which is why I’m sure they decided to merge parts 7 and 8 into one final movie. Even fans of the series are getting tired of it and just aren’t paying anymore.

Big picture though, Lionsgate has made 5 sequels for a total less than the profits they made off the first film alone. It’s a shame how quickly the quality dropped off but they were easy money. As a one-time fan of the series I am hopeful they make the final film a good one, but I’m skeptical.

All of the people complaining about Saw in these comments and the comments on anything Saw related always say the same generic things. I doubt many of you have never actually SEEN a Saw movie. People always say the same thing, “Another one!? The series just needs to end.” There were 10 Friday the 13th movies, 9 Nightmare on Elm Street movies, plus Freddy vs Jason, and the 2 reboot movies. also, by asking “another one!?” everytime the next movie is released only proves you’ve never seen the movies, because most of them have cliffhanger endings. So dont act suprised, damn it.
I do have to say the 1st movie is the best simply because it was new and there were only two really gorey scenes, the reverse bear trap and when Gordan saws off his leg. After the 2nd movie you expect the twist at the end, so you’re constantly guessing which kinda distracts from the film.

Joe Makes a good point. No One is forcing people to go see these movies, but still h it has gone downhill sense the fourth and even that kinda ran out of ideas. But still great movies great series, and im sure me and lots of other people are looking forward to the last installment of the saw series. And hopfully it will be somthing that will everyone will be impressed over to make up for saw 6.

if any of you all can pay attention,…,doctor gordons dead body was never shown in any of the saw films..
by cutting off his foot , he passed the test and what hospitol did john’s wife bring the envelope to in saw 6 ???????
watch all six,becauseall the movies are nothing but one gigantic puzzle that the fans are suppose to put together while watching.the questions are what makes the movies interesting.

joe I must agree with you on that but you forgot jason goes to hell and freddy 5 through 8. Oh yeah let’s not forget jason x. I think unlike most franchise they have kept the story line with saw movies and they all can be followed and one coinside with the other. I always wondered what happened to dr gordon myself. As far as I remember nothing was ever said about him. I assumed jigsaw went back and cleaned up when he went to clean up behind amanda. I am curious as to how the go end this cause I wanna know does the detective bleed to death or what?

Just because his name is on the list, doesn’t mean they found his body. He was a known victim because his wife knew. I suspect that dr. Gordon was converted and joined Johns (Jigsaw) flock. We know he doesn’t have his foot, they showed it all old and nasty in one of the later movies. I just had a 2 day saw movie marathon, but I’m gonna watch them again and make sure there is no body shown. If there is and they try to act like he’s not dead, I will still see the movie, but I will not enjoy it.

I am a huge saw fan. I love to watch these and I feel like every time that I see them I learn something new.I understand why some people are tired of these movies, but there are some of us that would watch them forever if they would keep making them. I can’t wait until saw 7 comes out. I hope that it makes so much money that they do make an 8,9, and 10. I wish that people would stop saying how stupid they feel this franchise is. I think that it is the only horror movie that actually makes sense. I think that they are geniuses for coming up with this motive.

ALSO the only reason Paranormal Act. beat saw 6 was because of all the hype..That movie was dumb ass hell too!!! I bet it wont beat it this yr I BET YEA!

Oh and also Kim, In SAW V they do tell us that Officer Riggs Died from blood loss from being shot and also At the memorial/press conference in Saw V, photographs of the five dead officers are on display, labeled with their names; Rigg’s picture is shown

am a big saw fan ive watched them many times and i promise yeah that they have never explained what happend to dr gordon they did say in the third one that another dr has gone missing they have never said a body has been found so jigsaw probly caught up to him afda he cralled out of the bathroom then put him in another trap or recruited him either way hes not dead coz jigsaw does not kill people.

If you’ve seen the first 6, you know of course Dr. Gordon is in the flock. The end will reveal the whole time-line with one final gruesome lesson to show everyone. The end result is meant for everyone to question how they will handle their individual choice to survive.
