One of the most controversial points in the criticized fourth installment of the
"Saw" saga is the second "twist" in the film, which "reveals" that Officer Rigg
should not have opened the door, as it led to the death of Detective Eric
Matthews. A twist that, apparently, could have been completely "indecipherable".
Darren and Lyriq´s ending.
During the second half of the behind-the-scenes footage of the fourth
installment, we can hear actor Lyriq Bent and director Darren Lynn Bousman
discussing an ending that they considered to be better. Now, information
shared between fans appears to reveal what that ending would be.
According to the information, Officer Rigg arrives at the door leading to Eric
and Hoffman, but does not open it. He stays outside lamenting and crying, not
saving them. That is when Special Agent Straham arrives at the room and finds
Rigg holding his gun. Believing him to be responsible, Straham shoots Rigg,
killing him.
Improvement?
Apparently, this ending assumed that the viewer already knew that Rigg should
not open the door, thus changing the course of the story and increasing the
tragedy when Rigg dies by accident/mistake.
