FAQ for Saw.

Does this movie exactly pattern the original of 1980?
No, absolutely not. The film begins with Jigsaw before he was a serial killer, in the original the film begins with him kidnapping one of his victims and backstory is only explained. Also in the 2007 version, the only main victim is Det. David Tapp, in the original more victims are tortured which are more unsignificant. Also Amanda Young is not revealed to be an apprentice, in the original she becomes Jigsaw's apprentice after she finished her test. The Pighead character (which is not Jigsaw) does not appear in the original. Also, in the original Jigsaw's face is never seen on-screen.

What happened to Amanda Young? Is she actually an apprentice like in the original?
It's not revealed yet. Also in the sequel it is not explained. There is also no hint given whatever she's alive or not. Maybe it will be explained in the 2011 upcoming ''Saw III. ''

What's the difference between the Theartical Cut and the Unrated Version?
A lot. In the Unrated Version there is far more blood and gore and there are several extended scenes. Konami originally wanted to keep the version but to gain an R-rating some blood and gore had to be edited.

Is there a sequel?
Yes, a sequel Saw II: Flesh & Blood was released in 2009. Originally, Konami didn't expressed interest into a sequel, but the production-company greenlighted a sequel so Konami directed the film because he didn't wanted someone to ruin his vision. The sequel centers more on Jill Tuck, Jigsaw's ex-wife, and the victim's background. Konami also wanted to the sequel to be more bloody and sadistic then the first one.
