SD Comic-Con ’10: The First 8 Minutes of ‘Saw 3D’ Goes Public!
Teased in this week’s first images, Lionsgate shared with San Diego Comic-Con attendees the opening 8 minutes of Saw 3D, what is said to be the final film in the record breaking franchise. While still a work in progress, we did get to see the footage in 3D and learned of some pretty huge surprises (one that literally blew my mind). Read on with extreme caution as there’s nothing but spoilers inside.
SPOILER Warning: Here’s a rundown of the opening 8 minutes shown…
The footage opens with someone clawing their way down a hallway. He’s missing a foot. Who could it be? The second Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) is shown I was hit with goosebumps. He’s bleeding pretty bad, so he takes his stump and presses it against a hot pipe to seal his wound (smart doctor!).
We cut outside and are immediately taken to the most public trap Jigsaw has ever assembled. Hundreds of people gather around a display window where two guys – named Ryan and Brad (yeah, apparently named after myself and the editor-in-chief of Shock!) – are chained up to a workbench with buzzsaws. The onlookers gather around like it is some spectator event. The two men wake up and the Billy doll rolls out on his tricycle (the theater audience cheers).
They notice their girlfriend (from some love triangle) hanging above them and a giant buzzsaw in the middle. The voice of Jigsaw informs them they can either try and kill each other by pushing the buzzsaws on either end into their rival or simply leave the harlot who has been screwing with their hearts to drop on the middle blade. After dueling with each other over the girl (while the crowd flip-flops by cheering on whoever is getting the upper hand), the two men finally realize that the girl doesn’t care about either of them so they let the bitch drop. She gets cut in two, her entrails spilling to the ground while hundreds of onlookers scream in horror.
Cue title card.
I’m not going to lie, I was cheering for Brad (well, duh), although it was a fitting end to a loving, yet bitter rivalry.
SAW 3D arrives in theaters October 29 (Wes Craven’s post-converted My Soul to Take better watch the f*ck out).
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
