History Foreshadowing / Jigsaw

* Anna says she didn't do anything to deserve being put in the game, yet John and his apprentices don't target most of their victims unless they did ''something'' to deserve it. This foreshadows that Anna is truly more reprehensible than she can admit to being -- to the tune of killing her baby and framing her husband for it.

* Asides from Anna, Ryan, Mitch and Carly, there's a fifth victim in the main game who supposedly dies in the Bucket Room due to him not waking up. However, unlike all of the other victims, his "death" happens offscreen, with the camera simply panning to the next room just as he's about to get sliced by the saws. Plus, we don't get to know anything about him, other than the fact that he's apparently a man. Adding to the fact that this isn't the first time it happened in the series, since it was previously seen with Hoffman just before his reveal as an apprentice in ''Film/SawIV'', you could figure out that he's going to turn out to be someone affiliated to Jigsaw, even if his identity as Logan isn't foreshadowed here.

** Related to the above, the victims listen to recordings on Jigsaw's typical tape recorders, an outdated form of holding audio data. At the morgue/precinct, the investigators listen to recordings on micro-SD cards, which are more modern.

* Bordering on FridgeBrilliance, the behavior of the victims can be perplexing through the game, as they keep ignoring Jigsaw and the rules, or looking for workaround, with deadly consequences. The most egregious cases are Mitch, who would have ''won'' if he had just pulled the brake instead of getting out of the trap, and Ryan, who falls for a very simple SecretTestOfCharacter, two mistakes that people familiar with Jigsaw wouldn't have made. Which is, in fact, that first clue that they ''aren't'' familiar with Jigsaw at all and that the game doesn't take place in the present, but in the past.

* Logan states at the autopsy of the victims that one of them, who was decapitated by the saws in the Bucket Room, had traces of "ferric oxide hematite in the wound". The saws seen in the trap's actual scene looked brand new with no rust, so they may have rusted over the decades between the game and the current events before being used once again by Logan.

* The final confrontation between Anna, Ryan and John has a number of clues pointing to the fact that all the scenes in the barn take place ''years'' before the rest of the movie. To wit...

* At the opening chase scene, there's a red "X" painted on a metal beam, which Edgar ends up standing in front of moments before he's shot.

** Anyone as close to John as Anna is revealed to be would be well aware of the Jigsaw Killer's M.O. and would've brought it up during their ordeal, but she doesn't because at that point in the timeline, the general public doesn't know John is Jigsaw and he wouldn't be that famous yet.

* The last case counts as FiveSecondForeshadowing. Halloran, after deactivating his Laser Collar, looks up and sees the burn marks in the ceiling above him. At the same time, he notices there aren't any above Logan, even though there should be. And then Logan gets up...

* All the victims found by the police are said to have connections to Halloran's cases yet the deaths Ryan caused happened when he was a teenager. Halloran would've also been a teenager himself at the time, so this is a sign that the people in the barn aren't the same ones the cops are finding.

** Anna is said to have accompanied John to his chemotherapy, something that would've taken place about 10 years before the events of the film, and yet she looks exactly the same during her confrontation with John, because it takes place before the events of the first movie.

** Anna is shown to be John's neighbor, and yet when he reveals himself to her, she isn't in the least bit surprised to see him alive. She is shocked to see him, but only because he's the killer, something that by the events of ''Jigsaw'' is publicly very well known.
