History Film / Saw3D

* FunWithAcronyms: Bobby's book about his fake Jigsaw trap experience is titled "S.U.R.V.I.V.E.", which stands for each of the lessons he claims he learned from the experience: "'''S'''tart your life anew", "'''U'''nderstand your problems", "'''R'''edefine your priorities", "'''V'''erify your self-worth through commitment", "'''I'''gnore your detractors", "'''V'''alue your loved ones" and "'''E'''mbrace every day as if it is your last". As an IronicEcho, each of these phrases are written on walls at Bobby's trial.

* IronicEcho: Bobby pretended to be a survivor of Jigsaw's games with a book, for which he created an acronym title (S.U.R.V.I.V.E.) that supposedly imparts the lessons he learned from his fake experience. When he actually takes part in a Jigsaw game, the phrases the acronym was meant to stand for are scrawled over various walls that he passes through, partially because they embody the values Jigsaw tries to instill in his victims.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: While Bobby's plan to make money isn't exactly terrible at a glance, he didn't make sure that Jigsaw was either dead or behind bars before publishing his false story.

* ExactWords: A retroactive example with a previous film, specifically ''Saw IV''. In the latter film, [[spoiler:John tells Hoffman in his farewell tape to him that "you're ''probably'' the last man standing."]] He didn't explicitly say that [[spoiler:Hoffman was the only living Jigsaw accomplice by then]], and as it turns out in this film, [[spoiler:he ''did'' have another active accomplice aside from Hoffman, even if they weren't necessarily an apprentice by his standards regarding disciples]].

* BystanderSyndrome: Taken UpToEleven with the Public Execution Trap, where a huge crowd of pedestrians stand around the display window and only two of them make an attempt to do anything; one tries to bash the glass with her briefcase and another calls the police. Some are even filming it.

* UpToEleven: The creators boasted that this film has a trap that was "so bloody, so disgusting, and so disturbing, the producers wouldn’t allow them to put it in any of the [previous] ''Saw'' films – until now". This was, according to IMDB, the Horsepower Trap.

* WrapItUp: The film was originally drafted by ExecutiveMeddling to wrap up the series after ''Film/SawVI'' underperformed at the box office, namely by condensing two planned films into one. However, two more films, ''Film/{{Jigsaw}}'' and ''[[Film/Spiral2021 Spiral]]'', were released years later. To be fair, one focuses on [[spoiler:John's very first apprentice]], and only features John in flashbacks without any other previously-seen characters; meanwhile, the second one purely features a Jigsaw copycat and doesn't have any appearances of previous characters, just a glimpse of John's picture and discussion of his methods, so for all intents and purposes, the two films that came after are pretty much stand-alone films.

The second one is purely a Jigsaw copycat and doesn't feature a physical cameo from Jigsaw, just a glimpse of his picture and discussion of his methods, so for all intents and purposes, the two films that came after are pretty much stand-alone films.]]

* CentralTheme: Lying is bad and it will have harsher consequences if it persists.

* DeadStarWalking: Music/LinkinPark vocalist Chester Bennington makes a cameo as a skinhead who's killed by one of Hoffman's own traps.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Hoffman tries to pull this off at the end of the film -- key word being ''tries''. He [[spoiler:accomplished his goal of killing Jill]], and with his identity known to the public, there was no reason for him to stick around. After packing a lot of cash, a gun and setting his lair on fire, he makes to leave. Whether he was planning to create a new identity and put his Jigsaw life behind him or just wait until the heat had died down will likely never be answered, since [[spoiler:Lawrence took care of him]].
