** The hanging trap. William's intern and secretary 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. The secretary is an old, diabetic woman (not worth covering) with a family while the other is a perfectly healthy loner (worth covering). William chooses his secretary.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Given a choice between saving the women or the men, William generally saves the women. Two women do die, but he has no means to control that. In the carousel trap, he could only save two out of six with equal gender distribution, so one had to die. 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.

* SadisticChoice: The carousel trap. Six of William's co-workers, 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 buttons 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. But the catch is, he can only do this twice, and the carousel will not stop until the gun has fired 6 times, so William can only pick 2 people to save, leaving the other 4 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 finally spares [[spoiler:Emily and Shelby]].

* PrecisionFStrike: The only other time Jigsaw drops an F-bomb is when he's talking to William and says, "Healthcare decisions should be made by doctors and their patients, not by the government. Well, now I know they're not made by doctors and their patients or the government. They're made by the fucking insurance companies."
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Hoffman and Amanda both knew of each other's work as Jigsaw's apprentice; Amanda killed Lynn in the third film because she was being blackmailed by Hoffman; Amanda was the person who sent Cecil into the clinic, where he accidentally caused Jill Tuck to have a miscarriage; the box Jill received in the previous film contained instructions on how to carry out Jigsaw's final wishes, including Hoffman's test.]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Jigsaw's final test was [[spoiler:to test Hoffman himself with a game, which was set up by his wife, who was carrying out John's final request. Hoffman managed to beat the trap and live.]]
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:William]] may well be the biggest example of this. In order, he has to [[spoiler: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 lawyer escape a maze and then nearly get hacked open when the lawyer tries to find the key necessary to save her life (she fails); and then choose which two of his staff will live, condemning the other four to death.]] Finally, it turns out that he was never ''really'' in control of his own fate, and he dies at the hands of [[spoiler:an angry, vengeful teenager and his equally angry, but not so vengeful mother.]]
* SmokingIsCool: Averted. Try lighting up a cigarette after watching William and the janitor's first test.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: 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 [[DisproportionateRetribution 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.
* StartOfDarkness: One of the three intertwined plots is John's StartOfDarkness, shown through Jill's and William's [[{{Flashback}} flashbacks]].
* StrappedToABomb: Four bombs are strapped to William's arms and legs, set to explode in 60 minutes unless he completes his tests and gets the keys to remove them.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Hoffman, twice, and both at times when it seems like he's going down in defeat. The first: as his attempt to frame Strahm for being Jigsaw's second accomplice pitifully falls apart in front of him, Hoffman ''successfully'' pulls off a move only a desperate idiot would normally attempt - he murders two gun-carrying police officers (and fairly major characters) using only a knife, a cup of coffee and a one-shot character as a human shield; Hoffman then works to reestablish 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 Agent Erickson left behind. Just minutes later, [[spoiler:Hoffman is on the wrong end of the infamous "Reverse Bear Trap" deathtrap thanks to Jill Tuck, who reveals that this is part of John's will; as she exits the room (after delivering the obligatory "Game over" line), Hoffman ''bashes his way out of his restraints by using the trap, prevents the trap from opening fully, and finally rips the thing off, ripping apart the right side of his mouth in the process.'']]
** At first, Jill seems to be an innocent victim of John's schemes due to her implicit involvement as his wife. At the end, she knocks out Hoffman with an electrocuted chair and puts him in the reverse bear trap, all without a hint of remorse in her face.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: The scene with Hoffman and Amanda. Oh boy. Mind you, it's the only scene they share in the entire franchise.
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler: Brent at the end, when he flips the switch for William's trap to the "die" side after his mother is unable to bring herself to do so.]] He even says it as he does it: "You killed my father, you [[SevenDirtyWords motherfucker]]! Now you burn in hell."
