Ok so, I don't know if anyone has even watched it yet, or posted about it, but I got a copy of the unrated director's cut of Saw V last night and watched it today at work. I was only able to view it once, so, I can't really remember ALL of the changes, but, here is what I remember -
The opening is slightly different, during the credits, they show a small clip of the door going into the building that Seth is in *the same door Hoffman exits after he does the deed*
Seth's death is much much gorier, you see some of his guts fly onto the floor and hit the wall while the pendulum is killing him. Also he also whispiers something right before he dies, I can't really make it out, and I don't have the actual DVD but just the movie itself, but I don't believe he said anything in the theatrical version.
Right after the Saw V logo appears, they slightly changed this scene as well.
Strahm is not shown entering the "sick room" From Saw III, instead you hear his voice on a black screen "Let me see your hands!" and then they show him shoot Jeff. They also don't show Hoffman slamming the door shut or walk away either, the whole beginning after Seth's death is all Strahm.
Jill's scene where she gets John's tape, is shortened by a few seconds, right after she closes the black box, the scene ends.
A short scene was added, right after Hoffman steals Strahms cell phone, a police officer walks in on him to tell him that the hospital called about Agent Perez.
Right after the "chamber" game. They cut to Strahm in the office, asking himself when Hoffman first met Jigsaw. They show some more close ups of photos from Seth's crime scene and they added a few short scenes inbetween Strahm looking at the files, of Hoffman telling Fisk to keep him updated on the Jigsaw case. Hoffman then sits at his desk, recieves a note similar to the one he received in present time, stating "I know who you are" presumabely from Jigsaw, folds the note up in his pocket, and then the scene continues to Hoffman entering the building where he's kidnapped.
After the Saw II flashback, there's some added dialogue between the 3 characters before the tape plays. Brit explains a little more of why she's there.
After the tape plays, instead of Luba immediately hitting Mallick, she actually tells him to get in the tub and that they're going to use him for the game. He tells her to *beep* off and she then hits him into the tub.
--------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Here is where the scenes were re-arranged. Quite a few scenes were switched around, I'm not sure why, but my impression is that they felt some of the scenes would make a few things make more sense maybe. Anyway -
