Corrected entry: Someone as high in the police rankings as Hoffman couldn't possibly set up all the elaborate traps as well as kidnap all the victims without noticeably neglecting his law enforcement duties. He rushes the main traps of this film into motion, but the engineering on them alone would take days if not weeks to accomplish.
Corrected entry: When William escapes his first test and lifts his shirt up to see what the enormous bloodstain is from, he finds the surgical stitched-up would on his side, with a single stream of blood beginning to seep off of it, and the rest of his side is perfectly clean. The size of the wound, and the small amount of blood on his side contradict the enormous blood-stain on his shirt. If he was losing enough blood to create a stain that big, there should have been more blood on his side, either from the wound, or from the saturated shirt rubbing it on him.
Correction: We don't know how long it was after the cut was made that William begins his tests. Therefore it's safe to assume that the blood is from when the cut was made. If it was long enough ago, the blood wouldn't rub onto him. The new stream of blood is where he has reopened the wound.
Corrected entry: When Hank (the janitor) is killed, we see his white under-shirt being stained red with blood. However, as the blood flows out and begins to soak into his blue overalls/shirt, his blue clothes don't stain properly. While his white shirt turns red, his blue clothes simply get wet as if soaking with water, but don't discolor at all from the red blood. This reveals some sort of fake blood was used, as it doesn't "stain" properly on his darker clothes, only on his white shirt.
Corrected entry: In the steam trap a 90 second timer is shown, though the scene between the start of the timer and the end of the timer takes 3 min 20 sec.
Correction: There is a difference from real time and movie time.
Corrected entry: In the opening "game" of the film, Simone is forced to remove flesh to stay alive. We then see her sever an arm with a few blows from a hatchet in order to win the game. The arm is removed about 3 inches below the elbow but a later scene in the hospital shows a bandage with the arm completely gone from far above the elbow. Furthermore, modern advances in limb re-attachment allow for a limb to be re-attached up to a full day after the accident. Why didn't the doctors in the OR simply re-attach the arm that had been lobbed off?
Correction: For all we know, this could happen in the past, when medical science were not as advanced, or she had to left her arm there. It's also possible her arm was too badly damaged to save. Bottom line, this isn't considered a movie mistake.
Corrected entry: The acid is strong enough to dissolve the concrete floor. If it is that strong, wouldn't it have dissolved the container holding it and the tubes connected to the needles?
Correction: Because, like in real life, the acid in the film does not have to ability to eat away at everything. The containers are probably made from a substance that the acid does not affect.
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, Hoffman retracts the walls of the room where Agent Strahm has been squashed. The whole body drops to the floor. However, Strahm's hand remains untouched. Now considering the walls shut completely, his hand would have not survived if they were powerful enough to crush his body.
Correction: The hand was holding onto the grating above the chamber, where there was room at the very top between the grating and the closed walls.
Corrected entry: When Hoffman walks out of the tech office, there is no gun by the steps. When he comes back in, there is. (01:10:00)
Correction: The gun is only not visible because it is out of sight of the camera.
Correction: Hoffman is following the Jigsaw case on it's own. No other work. There is plenty of time for him to kidnap the victims. As for the engineering part, we know he has been planning this for sometime as, as shown in other films, he's been working with Jigsaw from shortly after the events of Saw. So a few years.
