It's still the same producers they've had for the entire run of the series so I'm crossing my fingers that Detective Hoffman will return.

The thing I remember most about Return of the Living Dead 3 is that the Riverman effects were loving terrible at the end. You could clearly see the arms and legs that were supposedly blown off during that entire scene. It reminds me of Robocop 3 where he loses an arm and you can see it tied behind his back for the rest of the movie.

RotLD3 holds a special place in my heart because it was the very first R-rated movie I ever saw.

Looking up Return of the Living Dead to find out that Brian Peck, who was Scuz in the first one, is a convicted sex offender (victim under the age of fourteen) that somehow worked on Nickelodeon shows for a few years after getting out of prison. But then again, he seems to be friends with both Brian Singer and Dan Schneider.

It has to be better than Jigsaw, that twist is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in a movie. "I speak for the dead"

I'll be honest I've already had trouble taking Chris Rock's Hardened Detective Face seriously in the trailer and I think that might end up being an issue for me when I watch the movie.

Yeah, Jigsaw was disappointing. After the gap I thought they had a good idea, but nope, they did not. And I didn't buy its retcons either.

I finished the movie but only because I couldn't wait to see how much worse it could get. The idea that they did the same exact multi-person trap twice and found lookalikes for all of the victims and held onto something like a dozen bodies for years to pull it off was just driving me insane.

Jigsaw actually kinda fooled me just because I immediately clued into what they were doing, but then I dismissed because I was like "there's no way they pull this same trick again, they've done this before!". But then they did and I was both surprised and disappointed.

It also has the worst traps of the series. The best trap is the carousel from 6.

I think the worst one for me where the woman sticks her hand through the hole to grab the syringe but then it's like a finger trap where shards of glass cut into her arm if she tries to pull it out.

Glass shards are for sure worse than needles in my mind, assuming they don’t go deep enough to poke anything important. Digging out slivers of glass from your hand sucks rear end.

Has there ever been a saw trap where a thing latches onto your arm or neck and pumps out your blood geyser style. That'd freak me right out.

I haven't watched half of the SAW films so like what does "the world of SAW" even mean? Like is there something unique about the world if there aren't character crossovers or references?

I think the fifth one had a twist where all of them were supposed to survive until the end because they had to put their arms in a contraption that slits their wrists and fills a tank with their blood. There only being two people instead of five or six means they have to give up like several liters of blood each. And yet I think they somehow survive.

They sort of underestimated how popular the series would be so they hosed up and killed Jigsaw off in Saw 2. So from that point on it's just a neverending web of apprentices and past victims coming back for revenge and even more apprentices and there's like a whole stable of characters. It's pretty funny. So that's why I'm calling bullshit on the no crossovers or references thing. They're gonna do it, they can't resist.

Yeah, every sequel (with the exception of Jigsaw) does this “If the camera had continued zooming out, you’d have seen that this new character had been around all along!” thing.

Yeah, but they're all kind of connected, right? Like they're all Jigsaw's proteges or victims or whatever, right? So isn't "the world of SAW" just "the world of Jigsaw"? Even posthumously. Its not like its a MCU deal where aliens and superheroes are established as real or something. Its just a bunch of serial killers with a gimmick and connection. So yeah, "the world of SAW" just seems like its either got one of those people or its just a random cop/serial killer film they threw a brand name on.

Correct, the only connection they all have is to Jigsaw, there isn't some sort of other element that this "world" has that's different from the real world. The constantly appearing new apprentices endlessly backstabbing each other is sort of a unique thing though so I suppose you could count that as a "world". Tarnop posted:It's our world but everyone is 10% more stupid Basically. Sort of like how Hobbes and Shaw was a Fast & Furious movie because that world is so ridiculous that it sort of became it's own unique identifiable thing.

But in what order? As far as I can tell, the "universe of Saw" is just following the continuity through all these twists where the opening scene is chronologically the last one.

Marathoning the Saws is surprisingly enjoyable. You end up fast forwarding through the torture scenes by like part 3 to get to the dumb as hell story poo poo. Hope Hoffman pops back up somewhere in the new one.

It's an entertaining series because they always bend over backwards to connect stuff back to what came before, they never do that standard horror series thing where they just drop stuff from the last movie and never mention it again. But they do this to a fault, so there's definitely times where they should just make a clean break from what came before but they refuse to ever do it.

The first one set the formula that the last 15 minutes have to be a dramatic reveal of the secret machinations that have been going on the whole film like a crazy parlor scene set to intense butt-rock. Then it just got crazier and crazier every sequel to the point of parody. I have a soft spot for that series even tho it’s trash and features some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. Can’t help myself.

I'm kinda worried that Chris Rock, who seems to have been the driving force behind this revival/reboot/whatever may not understand that. Anyone who looks at the Saw series and says "what we need to do here is flush everything and start completely over from square one" doesn't understand why it was good. On a related note, the first Saw is getting a UHD release next week.
