Explaining All The Saw Movies (Saw I - Spiral) 

Looks like Jordan went with Final Destination for the next one of these! >>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nMoMvmBsrss.html

“Saw is just one big flashback to a present day that never comes.” - Pretty Much It

John Kramer: failed suicide attempt = now I appreciate life Guy in the razor wire room: failed suicide attempt = clearly doesn't appreciate life

In Saw 2, Eric calls Jigsaw on his “not technically a murderer” bullshit. He points out “putting a gun to someone’s head and forcing them to pull the trigger is still murder” and Kramer has literally no rebuttal, no refutation, nothing. He just calls Eric a bad cop and changes the subject.

Everytime someone says "technically it's not murder but they choose to kill each other" makes me wonder if anyone in this universe knows what informed consent is.

Do I know the entire SAW movie timeline very well? Yes. Am I still going to watch this entire video at least once? Absolutely

Saw is like a very violent soap opera with a 7 year long murder mystery

"I haven't killed them. I just pushed them of a cliff. It's not my fault they didn't appreciate life enough to survive the fall."

UPDATE: Screw it. We're going to do another franchise.

"Kevin Mcallister with cancer" there's a theory that that's actually true. I swear it was a Cracked theory, too.

as a representative of the production I would like to clarify that the Budget wasn't slashed but left in a overly elaborate death trap and we could only use what was left.

I can’t imagine how long this took to record. Having to have stayed in this basement for the entire time while recounting all the movies, that would have creeped the shit out of me

Fun fact the woman at 36:36 won one of those reality show competitions that was based around mostly horror movie acting and producing if I remember correctly, where the winning prize was a featured part in a Saw movie so that’s how she got the part

Fun fact: The entire SAW (2004) film was filmed in 18 days.

Thank you thoroughly explaining an influential film series that I will probably never watch and now won't feel like I have to!

If I was a Jigsaw set builder I would be pretty pissed that the series acts like random people could build all that shit with no expertise

28:15 "The unborn baby meat packing warehouse NOT called 'PLanned Parenthood'." That joke was *chef's kiss.*

Idk why, but I needed this video to finally make sense out of this series.

Was "slow-a$$ Jeff" an intentional Dead Meat reference, or just a fact?

You included my favorite line in the series “what a big tootsie”

My brother and I snuck into the theater to see Saw. (See saw, teehee) and I was distracted the entire time, all I could think was “when did Carey Elwes stop trying?” and has “Danny Glover always had a lisp?” Great job, as always!

I find it hard to believe that john, in the first movie, did not even cough once. Despite being a terminally ill cancer patient. Like wtf?! He's got both the best and worst lungs imaginable

I'm a simple man. I see an hour long SAW video, I click.

My grandma did the flowers for the actress that played Amanda's wedding and i feel thats pretty pog

Genuinely and pleasantly surprised this wasn't broken into a handful of vids. Entertaining stuff, good writing, fun jokes, great way to pass some time while attending to some menial tasks.

I haven't watched a single one of the SAW movies and yet I sat through this movie-length explanation of all of them... Well done, sir. 😂

Your passion and hard work is appreciated.

I lost the plot about halfway trough, but Jordan is so funny I kept watching.

Kinda surprised you didn't spend at least a little time on the final dude that dies in the Merry Go Round trap because his whole speech about how his much his boss can eat shit for letting him die and demand he looks him in the eye while killing him is probably the best chunk of dialog in the entire series.

What other franchises should we force Jordan to watch then explain for over a freaking hour?

The real torture was the lack of snacks. And possibly the lack of bathroom breaks.

About 38 minutes in, i realize that this is over an hour, time flies when you're having fun!

one thing that confused me a lot about the twist that Pamela and Will are siblings is that he calls her babe over the phone towards the beginning of the sixth movie

I can't wait for Saw, The animated series.

Locked in a pizzeria until he can explain the whole fnaf timeline

My only complaint about the series is John contradicts himself when he has the shotgun on Hoffman. He tells him "it can NEVER be personal". Yet from the start almost EVERYONE in the traps has been personal to John.

As someone who owns a box set of every Saw film, the unrated versions even, I can say that this is accurate.

Have a weird feeling this one might go viral.

Evil robes are like $25 on Amazon but I assume back then he had to get one from spirit Halloween

Not even a fan of the series but was so glad to hear you sarcastically tell me stories for an hour.

At this point they should rename the Saw franchise "Days of our Knives"

The major problem I have with this series is all of the people in the trap marathons who have to be saved by someone else. Like... their survival depends on someone else saving them? So where is their game to survive? It started with Amanda's paralyzed but alive cellmate and just kept appearing in the series. It kind of makes no sense.

most of these victims are people who kills someone close to Kramer or, people who kills someone and lives close to Kramer.. Damn, what a shitty neighborhood he had

Dammit, Jordan Breeding, you just saved me 13 hours (14h13m of Saw movies minus 1h13m of your video). I've lost count of how many movies I don't need to see thanks to you!

"which I think is usually just called a baby monitor" made me laugh more than expected so kudos

Spiral: *makes the spiral a symbol of Jigsaw and a symbol of change* Ah, I see the writers read Homestuck

"The spiral is a symbol of change and evolution and progress" maybe kramer (or the copycat's imagined version of kramer) was a fan of gurenn lagann

"He's Kevin McCallister with cancer" That got me.

that low-frame sped up jacob's ladder style shaking at the end is juat the icing on this delicious SAW CAKE

The Addison trap in Saw 2 is the same amount of fair as the incinerator trap in my opinion. The key to the box is in its lock, so all someone would have to do to beat the trap is look at it for a little bit before getting involved with it.

to be fair, Addison's trap literally had a key. It was the easiest to open if she hadn't jumped to conclusions about how to get the antidote

Saw is Canada's contribution to the world of film. Thank you so much, Canucks.

If he said "you should be excited for Sawcon" I would have lost it

nothing in these movies really gets to me, except being thrown into a pit of syringes. just... oh god no

I can't believe I just watched that whole 1hr+ video. It was so entertaining, especially since I've never watched any of the Saw movies.

I liked Saw better when it was called "Cube".

I watched Jigsaw on Peacock with ads as well, so that ad joke hit hard.

Bring back After Hours! 10 minutes into this and this is going viral.

Holy shit. I watched all of that and loved it. Making an hour plus of content good is insane. Well done, Jordan. You are a saint. And a cop. And a killer? And a doctor. And a victim? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW YOU ANYMORE.

It's here! We locked Jordan in a moving car until he could explain the entire Fast & Furious franchise >>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ju3uq0dC5Aw.html

12:00 How is that trap not fair at all? That is quite literally the easiest trap in all of saw. You only have to hold one entrance open with one hand while you move your other hand through it. The only part I could see not being fair is that when she grabs it and picks it up it spills, but I’m pretty confident that could be solved. I guess the problem would be not knowing.

I'm 100% certain Home Alone was the sole inspiration for Saw.

Jigsaw is what happens when Bruce Wayne had a perfect life until like 67 and became a villain.

Called it! Knew from the start that Jordan put himself into this trap... as well, that is entirely inline with his character as it has developed so far

I was wanting this exact video to be made a decade ago. Much better late rather than never.

"Reverse 🧸 trap" 🤣 I love the images used in place of parts of the movie. I really hope this does so well you guys keep doing more. I needed this.

Rewatching this and realized I didn't say this is one of the best Cracked videos ever, let alone the best since the restart. It's great.

The original saga is a 7-movie long, low budget soap opera featuring some psychological thrills, an overarching murder mystery, villains with god complex, and gory body horror brought to life by music video filters and epilepsy inducing editing. And that's why we love it. Its ironic how the more "professional" last two movies are the least talked about among the fanbase.

Strangely enough when I watched the first Saw movie my immediate reaction to the “dead” guy was the thought that something important had to be inside of his body and that the smart thing to do would be to cut him open in search of clues. I would have inadvertently killed the main villain the the first five minutes and I find that hilarious.

I will admit the end of the first saW was the scariest gd thing I ever saw

Nothing in these movies makes any sense what so ever. His whole thing is suppose to be teaching people to appreciate life but all of the traps in every single movie would be counter to that lesson. They're all unfair and unwinnable. You will either die in which case you can't appreciate life if you no longer have one. Alternatively if you survive you'll be horribly disfigured do to the horrific ways in which it might be possible to technically survive but there is a huge difference between surviving and living. Basically surviving any of the traps in these movies is actually worse than getting killed which means you'd still never learn to appreciate life regardless of what happens at the end of the game. They try to play it like the real Jigsaws games were actually fair and his copy cats some how weren't but really none of the games were ever fair. A truly fair game that might actually teach the victim to appreciate life would give them a chance to escape with all of their body parts intact. Also it's questionable how any of the traps were ever set up in the first place. I mean the first movie doesn't require that much planning but the sequels get more and more elaborate and also often require multiple different traps all being set up at the same time. The fact that it's revealed so many people were working with Jigsaw kind of explains how they can set up so many different traps all at the same time cause one guy would never be able to do all of this, but it doesn't explain how no one ever notices the traps being set up. Especially that one that was set up in a very public place which would of had to of been set up in full view of the public because there's no way an elaborate death trap was put up over night in a public place no matter how many people Jigsaw had to help him. Anyway... given how none of this actually makes any sense I'm fully convinced that these movies always start with the props department making elaborate death traps and then the movie is written around the set pieces rather than writing an actual plot first and building the set pieces to fit what's needed for the story. That's really the only way these movies make sense is that they're basically just there to justify the existence of some scary looking props someone constructed for no particular reason. The thing that scares me the most about these movies is that Jigsaw isn't some possessed doll or monster that keeps magically coming back from the dead whenever they need to make a sequel, he's a normal every day guy... which means someone in real life could potentially try to copy these movies and if I ever wake up in some elaborate death trap I'm not going to try to escape. I'm going to be looking for the quickest most painless way to kill myself which shouldn't be too hard considering most of these death traps would have painlessly killed their victims instantly anyway if they hadn't tried to escape. The trying to escape part just made their last few minutes alive a lot more painful before they would eventually die anyway failing to beat the clock. That's another thing I don't understand... in a fair game it needs to actually be possible to figure out a solution and execute that solution in the set time limit. They generally figure out the time limit by beta testing with several different players completing the same game. But they never use the same trap twice so there's no real chance of working out exactly how long it would take an average person to figure out the trap. Each trap is uniquely built for a specific person. That would seem to indicate that Jigsaw already had some idea of the victim's ability to complete the task in a timely manner and intentionally set the time limit making it impossible for them to survive. So he DID kill people because no one in any of these movies chose to kill themselves, they all try to escape and only die because they couldn't beat that damn clock. I think you could only make the case that they killed themselves if they died before their timer ran out or they made zero effort to escape the trap. As long as they made an effort to escape and the trap still killed them then whoever set up the trap is still responsible for their death. Why are there so many of these damn movies? Can we reboot this franchise and start again except this time write the story first instead of building the props first and trying to make a story fit around that.

I've been a fan of you guys for years, and this video is very funny and clever! But Saw is still my favorite movie franchise. In part because the first was essentially an hour-and-forty-minute student project that raked in a hundred mil at the box office and spawned a seemingly never-ending series of horror blockbusters. That's no small feat.

These movies are tooootally meant to be watched back to back 😂 I legit enjoy Saw 1, 2 and Jigsaw as individual films, but the entire mess of a franchise is so fun to binge watch cause it’s just INSANE. With each film, they keep pulling the curtain back further and further to retcon information you thought you knew. It’s a wild ride

Haha glad to see you're still snowballin to new bigger things Jordan! really love this longform concept. Hope to see it happen with more film/show series

I always felt that these movies were culturally significant, but they just look so boring. Thank you for making this

Shouldn’t the next movie be titled: “SAW why?”? lol

Can imagine if instead of John Kramer it was Cosmo Kramer? Instead of lying on the floor in the first movie and getting up at the end, he instead flings open the door to the bathroom and slides in

I'm surprised you didn't mention the drug dealer is played by Chris Ramsay, a big RU-vidr and professional magician!

These are the only reason i watch Cracked now. Rewatched em i don't know how many times.

I thought I saw (lol) the original Saw movie, but I now realize I only saw (lol) about 15 minutes of it. I thought it all took place in an Arby's restroom. It should have.

If anyone ever actually analyzed every plot hole a tear would open up in the earth

Funny thing is I've been the guy that explains the Saw timeline to my friends cuz I loved this franchise 🤣 I could write the timeline in my sleep 😂 The one thing I always hated the most is Adam is such a bad actor then u find out he was one of the main writers & also the director best friend & put himself in the movie 🤦🏾‍♂

i'm back on this video again coz i enjoy hearing mr breeding's voice and joke and delivery in the background whilst i read smut.

It feels like y’all got Charlie Day’s twin brother to do this

I've already watched this for longer than I've watched any Saw movie and I'm not even halfway through. Can you do this for more movies? I feel like it would save me some time 🤣

I haven't seen or read cracked in like a decade and suddenly this hahahaha

John is jigsaw. Logan is jigsaw. Jordan is jigsaw. In the grand scheme of the universe, arnt we all just our own little jigsaws?

Tried to like this 3 times, masterpiece.

So I sat down to watch this today only to realise my boyfriend is wearing the exact same socks as you, and since this is a Saw video we are a bit scared.

Just discovered this recap series and it’s single handedly reviving my interest in cracked

I've never been a fan of this franchise and after watching this it just reinforces that feeling.

if someone could put these scenes from all the jigsaw movies in order that would be great

This was the long form video I didn't want to watch but learned something something about appreciating something because I was held at gun point and that taught me how to be happy

59:58 You can't just jump scare us like that

Master welder here. No idea what he meant by “bad steel,” because you’re absolutely right, it worked fine. You can learn to weld at any community college, but this is Disney engineering here.

Thank you for taking all the time to cover this! I've recently found the series quite alluring due to the sheer amount of analysis/discussion material it contains and social commentary, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to make it past the gore so this is a blessing

Saw: The franchise with middle-aged white men, most of them with dark hair 😆 Seriously, when I watched Saw 5 the first time, I lost track of Hoffman and Strahm and wasn't immediately aware of which one was squished lol.

Dude this explanation and your setting are just perfect, good Jon

If you watch CZ’s World’s complete time line explanation it clears up literally everything. He’s amazing at research

When I saw Spiral I was wondering about the tiffany blue boxes tied with a twine bow it really got me I was like damn Jigsaw went to the stationary store for this one
