15!!General:
16* '''Jigsaw's whole CrazyPrepared scheming''', really! Over the course of his "career" as a killer, he made progressively complex plans to continue working that eventually involve around his exact predictions of how other characters would behave at certain points, deliberately getting himself into risk of being arrested, or to put his apprentices and accomplices into judgement, culminating in ''factoring his own death in a single game''. And '''all''' of those schemes end up being ''successful'', even staying in motion long after his death until some time before the events of ''Jigsaw''. One would deserve to be tested by him if they don't give him credit for achieving all of this.
17* Whenever you see a protagonist survive at the end of a movie (or anyone for that matter), it's pretty awesome, considering the franchise's iconic AnyoneCanDie complex.

19!!Movies:

21!!!'''''Film/SawIII'':'''
22* At the beginning, Eric manages to escape the Bathroom after the second film by breaking his own foot. A flashback near the climax builds up on this by revealing that he caught up to Amanda and delivered her a brutal ExtremeMeleeRevenge. Even after she gets upper hand on him by [[AttackTheInjury kicking his broken foot]] and walks away, he taunts her by shouting that she's not the real Jigsaw, effectively hitting her BerserkButton.
23* Lynn's short, but effective TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to John, when he asks her how people will remember him.
24-->'''John:''' Who am I?\
25'''Lynn:''' A monster. A murderer.
26* You gotta give props to Jeff. He did [[PoliceAreUseless what the entire Metropolitan Police Department couldn't do]]: kill both Jigsaw and an apprentice in short order, even if it didn't do him much good.
27
28!!!'''''Film/SawIV'':'''
29* Rigg coldly telling Ivan to strap himself into a Jigsaw trap. Seeing how Rigg is being tested because of his ChronicHeroSyndrome, [[EveryoneHasStandards him having no pity for a cruel serial rapist]] is satisfying.
30* The Spike Trap is equal parts terrifying and awesome. An older couple, Morgan and Rex, are chained back-to-back on a metal pole with spikes driven through their bodies. The spikes pierce Morgan's body at positions she'll heal from, while Rex's pierce through major blood vessels. Rex has been horribly abusive toward her and their daughter, to the point of causing her ''multiple'' fractures, and Jigsaw's tape asks her to finally disconnect herself from this horrible man. As soon as it ends, and with just a moment of hesitation at the start, she rips the spikes out one by one.
31* John's [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning last tape]]:
32-->'''John:''' You think you will walk away untested? I promise that my work will continue, that I have ensured. By hearing this tape, some will assume that this is over, but I am still among you. You think it's over, just because I am dead? It's ''not'' over. The games have just begun.
33
34!!!'''''Film/{{Jigsaw}}'':'''
35* TheReveal that Logan is the Jigsaw Killer, swiftly followed by them killing off the guy you ''thought'' to be the killer, is quite the [[EstablishingCharacterMoment badass introduction]] to our new Jigsaw.
36* The SerialEscalation with the traps. We've gone from rusty scraps and barbed wire to collars mounted with '''[[LaserCutter laser cutters]].'''
37* After finding out what a horrible bitch Anna has been (killing her own baby and then framing her husband for it which led to him killing himself, all without a hint of remorse), seeing her brains blown out while trying to kill Ryan is utterly satisfying.
