Every Saw Trap Ranked From Worst To Best

33. Jigsaw - The Cycle Trap

saw 2004
Lionsgate

Trap: Mitch (Mandala van Peebles), who caused the death of Jigsaw's nephew by selling him a faulty motorbike, was suspended upside down and slowly lowered into a rotating metal spiral. He had to reach down through the rotating blades and pull a lever that would stop the machine.

Formulaic fun is the best way to sum this one up.

It's very unoriginal, but it's a well-directed scene, the design of the trap is really cool and the revelation of Mitch's past crime is genuinely sad.

You won't really remember it, but it's a solid trap sequence overall.
