10 Absurdly Contrived Bad Guy Schemes

8. Jigsaw (Saw Franchise)

2766790-jigsaw Seven chapters have told the twisted legacy of John Kramer a.k.a. Jigsaw, the mastermind behind Saw. Now here is a series where one has to completely throw out logic out the window. As a fan, I have to say that while the outcomes have been wild and shocking, the situations that people end up in are pretty far out. John may be an engineer but let us face it, he couldn't have done all of these traps as elaborate as they were alone. Oh that's right... he had help and I still shake my head in trying to see how Amanda and Hoffman could have done these traps any better. Still despite the complete lack of realism in most of the death sequences, it is easily one of the best stories that has unfolded over several movies and locked Jigsaw in as one of the horror greats.
