History Film / SawVI

* IdiotBall: Despite normally being very intelligent, John brings this to an absurd level in this movie. In the origin storyline, John is first seen meeting William at a party in Jill's clinic, where he chides him for his abhorrent policy on denying insurance claims. In a subsequent scene, we find out that, for some insane reason, John proceeded to [[WhatWereYouThinking become a client of William's]], despite already knowing that his policy routinely screws people over.

* ExactWords: William is told he'll never see his family again if he fails, and the audience sees Tara, Brent and Pamela trapped elsewhere between each of his tests. Tara also tells Brent that the reason they're trapped is "because of your father". [[spoiler:The reveal is that Pamela is William's ''sister'', and Tara and Brent are the family of Harold Abbott, a man William had denied coverage to at the beginning of the film and ended up dying]].

* ExactWords: William is told via videotape that if he fails, he will "never see his family again". In the finale, we learn that [[spoiler:the mother and son are in fact the real test subjects, and that Pamela is his sister/"family".]]

* ImmediateSequel: The film's first scene after the opening trap shows the aftermath of Strahm's death in the previous film's ending. The span of time that passed between this scene and the rest of the film's present storyline (including the opening trap) isn't made quite clear, however.

-->[[spoiler:"Aw, well, that's it, isn't it? It's over! You MOTHERFUCKER! You spineless, pussy-whipped motherfucker! That's all it takes, eh? A bitch says one thing and it's all over! You know what, William? Your policy is bullshit! Fucking bullshit! Well, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! I did everything for you! '''LOOK AT ME! ''WHEN YOU'RE KILLING ME, YOU LOOK AT ME!'''''"]]

* FakePregnancy: One of the six victims on the Shotgun Carousel, Gena, claims to be pregnant, hoping that William will spare her life. The other victims immediately yell that she's lying, but whether they're telling the truth or making up anything to try to save their asses is never made clear. [[spoiler:He doesn't spare her either way.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Josh delivers what is probably the ballsiest and most awesome monologue in the whole franchise when he fully realizes William intends to kill him in order to spare two of his female employees.]]
-->[[spoiler:"Aw, well, that's it, isn't it? It's over! You MOTHERFUCKER! You spineless, pussy-whipped motherfucker! That's all it takes, eh? A bitch says one thing and it's all over! You know what, William? Your policy is bullshit! Fucking bullshit! Well, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! I did everything for you! '''LOOK AT ME! ''WHEN YOU'RE KILLING ME, YOU LOOK AT ME!'''''"]]

** 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."

* BringMyBrownPants: [[spoiler:Hank, William's opponent in the Oxygen Crusher trap, wets himself involuntarily as a result of the clamps around his ribcage closing in on top of his increased panic.]]

* CallBack: Debbie's game, where she must kill William to remove a key from his stomach in order to take off a device that will kill her, is a direct callback to Amanda's test in the first film.

-->[[spoiler:"Aww, well, that's it, isn't it? It's over! You MOTHERFUCKER! You spineless, pussy-whipped motherfucker! That's all it takes, eh? A bitch says one thing and it's all over! You know what, William? Your policy is bullshit! Fucking bullshit! Well, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! I did everything for you! '''LOOK AT ME! WHEN YOU'RE KILLING ME, YOU LOOK AT ME!'''"]]

-->'''Brent:''' You killed my father, you motherfucker! (''pulls lever to "'''DIE'''"'') Now you burn in hell!

* YouKilledMyFather: Brent at the end, [[spoiler:when he flips the switch for William's trap to the "die" side after his mother is unable to bring herself to do so]]. As quoted in PreMortemOneLiner above, he even says it as he does it.

* BadLiar: In the Shotgun Carousel, Gena makes a pathetic attempt at claiming she's pregnant to gain William's sympathy. The stilted acting and panic make it too obvious she's lying, however, and she's called out for it by the other victims.

-->[[spoiler:"Aww, well, that's it, isn't it? It's over! You MOTHERFUCKER! You spineless, pussy-whipped motherfucker! That's all it takes, eh? A bitch says one thing and it's all over! You know what, William? Your policy is bullshit! Fucking bullshit! Well, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! I did everything for you! '''LOOK AT ME! WHEN YOU'RE KILLING ME, YOU LOOK AT ME!'''"]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Played with. [[spoiler:Josh, one of the Shotgun Carousel victims, has his turn come around when he knows that his death is sealed. He has the mental wherewithal to deliver a furious FinalSpeech to William (listed under DyingMomentOfAwesome above), but he notably whimpers right before he's killed.]]
* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: [[spoiler:Josh is left without a chance to survive in the Shotgun Carousel due to William saving two other victims, and when his turn comes round, he tells William (as the end of one long FinalSpeech) "When you're killing me, you LOOK AT ME!"]]
* FakePregnancy: One of the six victims on the carousel, Gena, claims to be pregnant, hoping that William will spare her life. The other victims immediately yell that she's lying, but whether they're telling the truth or making up anything to try to save their asses is never made clear. [[spoiler:He doesn't spare her either way.]]
* FanDisservice: Debbie in the steam maze. The steam causes her blouse to stick to her body rather tightly, but this is never focused on by the camera, and [[spoiler:she dies in a rather gruesome manner]] before the scene can become true fanservice material.

* DeadHandShot: Two of the film's promotional posters brings back the severed hands and feet from the first film's promotions with a leather-like stitching.

* DeadHandShot: One of the film's promotional posters brings back the severed hands from the first film's promotions with a leather glove-like stitching.

* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:William may well be the biggest example of this in the series. In order, he has to 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 an angry, vengeful teenager and his equally angry, but not so vengeful mother.]]

* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:At least, William is evil from Tara's viewpoint. At the end, Tara is given an opportunity to do this, as she is allowed to choose whether the man who denied her husband's health insurance lives or dies. She shouts that she's going to do it, and her hand closes around the lever... but ultimately, she can't go through with it. Unfortunately for William, while Tara can't pay evil unto evil, her ''son'' can; Brent pulls the lever and kills William.]]

** Providing Methadone and other compassionate care for people with substance abuse disorders? Bad, enabling, creating leaches on society. The best way to treat substance abuse disorder is to bring a person inches away from a gruesome death and make them stab someone in the stomach, look through their entrails and find a key to unlock themselves. Sure, it'll also turn them into murderers in their own right, but hey, better than Methadone.

* PreMortemOneLiner: Brent, as he seals [[spoiler:William]]'s fate.

** [[spoiler:William's death could very much be considered this. After going through a series of demanding traps, which leads to him realizing the error of his ways and the value of the lives of the clients he had indirectly killed by denying coverage, William gets killed by the son of one of said rejected clients, ultimately making his redemption completely meaningless.]]

-->'''Aaron:''' Listen to me, Mr. Easton. I am the one who should live! ''(is stopped before the gun first)'' Jesus Christ! Please, Mr. Easton! MR. EASTON! PLEASE! FOLLOW THE POLICY, MR. EASTON! DO IT! PLEASE! MR. EASTON, FOLLOW THE POLICY! FOLLOW THE POLICY! ''(gets killed by the gun)''

-->[[spoiler:"Aww, well, that's it, isn't it? It's over! You MOTHERFUCKER! You spineless, pussy-whipped motherfucker! That's all it takes, eh? A bitch says one thing and it's all over! You know what, William? Your policy is bullshit! Fucking bullshit! Well, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! I did everything for you! LOOK AT ME! '''WHEN YOU'RE KILLING ME, YOU LOOK AT ME!'''"]]

-->[[spoiler:"Aww, well, that's it, isn't it? It's over! You MOTHERFUCKER! You spineless, pussy-whipped motherfucker! That's all it takes, eh? A bitch says one thing and it's all over!

** William manages to guide Debbie out of the steam maze, incurring serious burns from hot air in the process, upon which they realize that the key to her freedom is sewn within William's side. As he tries to get it himself, Debbie begins swinging a nearby circular saw at him, escalating things into a fight for no substantial reason. Unsurprisingly, Debbie's time runs out as a result, and she is killed.

** Pamela [[spoiler:shortly after William Easton dies]].

** At first, Jill seems to be an innocent victim of John's schemes due to her implicit involvement as his wife. At the end, [[spoiler: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]].

*** Just minutes later, [[spoiler:Hoffman is on the wrong end of a new Reverse Bear Trap model thanks to Jill Tuck, who reveals that this is part of John's will; as she exits the room, Hoffman ''bashes his way out of his restraints by using the trap, prevents the trap from opening fully, and finally rips the thing off, only getting his right cheek shred in the process'']].
