Was shown in Philippine theaters months after "Saw 3D" was screened there. This mainly had to do with the film's distributor in the country, Pioneer Films, having trouble editing the film to achieve a wider, friendlier rating (R-13), as opposed to the American version which would have received an R-18. Pioneer Films was targeting as many screens as possible, and the biggest movie theater chain in the country, SM Cinemas, have not played R-18 films since May 2006. See more »
Goofs
(at around 1h 24 mins) For Detective Mark Hoffman to get his other hand out of the chain, he would have to use the crushed hand, yet if his hand bones were even mildly broken, he couldn't have used them. See more »
SPOILER: There's an extra scene after the end credits: Amanda comes to the door of the place holding the little girl (the one that Hoffman "saves" at the end of Saw IV) and tells her "not to trust the one who saves her". See more »
Alternate Versions
Also available in an unrated director's cut version, which restores deleted scenes and the violence originally cut for an 'R' rating. A new scene after the end credits is also added. See more »
The body of Agent Strahm is completely smashed and destroyed and Detective Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) frames him. Strahm is accused of being Jigsaw's apprentice and the FBI chases him. Dan Erickson (Mark Rolston) calls Hoffman and he leans that Agent Lindsey Perez (Athena Karkanis) has not died. When Dan finds a tape with the voice of the killer, he invites Hoffman and Perez to go with him to the laboratory to see the progress with the identification of the real voice.
John's widow Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell) receives a box from his lawyer with six envelops with instructions and she gives the first five to Hoffman. The unethical CEO of the Umbrella Health, William Easton (Peter Outerbridge), and his team are abducted and William is forced to play a game and choose who will live or die to save his family and him.
"Saw VI" is another violent film of torture with the legacy of Jigsaw. However, it is better developed than the previous story, and has a surprising conclusion. As I have mentioned before, I really do not like this franchise, but at least this time the plot works. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Jogos Mortais VI" ("Mortal Games VI")
