20 Best Kills In Saw Movies
2. Detective Eric Matthews - Head Smashed (SAW IV)
Eric Matthews had been our main man throughout Saw II and made a couple of flashback appearances in Saw III, but most Saw fans must have assumed we'd seen the end of the corrupt detective at the end of the film. It was definitely a surprise to us to see him back by the time the fourth film rolled around.
We find Eric with a nifty mechanism for his smashed foot and propped up on a pedestal inbetween two blocks of ice. Rigg fails to learn his lesson about not bursting through doors in order to save everyone and, despite Eric's best efforts to stop Rigg by shooting at the door, we get one of the craziest deaths in the franchise when the doors trip a wire and the two ice blocks drop and smash Eric's head in.
It took a lot, but when Eric Matthews' death finally came, it was totally worth the wait.
