Ok I've been thinking a lot about Saw (2004) since I watched it a few days ago, so here's a post about it:

Some duos I want to see in the bathroom trap (and how well I think they'd do)

Starting off strong- Marty and Rust from True detective (season 1).

Marty would do anything to save his daughters and Maggie, and meanwhile Rust and his existential dread would be going crazy. Would they survive? Probably. Rust is smart enough (and insane enough) to find his way out, and Marty might cut off his foot after a phone call from Maggie.

Marcus and Kevin from White chicks.

They would survive, no questions asked.

Christopher and Paulie from the Sopranos

Would they survive? Absolutely not. Not in a million years. Would it be hilarious to watch? Yes it would.

Paulie does get a bit crazy at times, I can see him cutting off his foot after a few hours, and lying to Chris about the clues he's getting. Christopher would absolutely shove his hand in the toilet bowl instead of checking under the lid first. And he would try to rip out the metal pipes with his bare hands.

Antoine and Leonard from Ne nous fâchons pas.

This may be a niche reference especially for non-french people, but I would love to see anyone trapped in a room with Leonard for six hours straight. Would they survive? Fuck if I know, but I wanna see them try

Larry and Freddy from Reservoir dogs.

Larry finding out through the phone call that Freddy knows him, that he's a cop and was trying to get him arrested when he got kidnapped? Them collaborating so well at first and really doing everything they can to get out? Freddy still being so scared of death and Larry comforting him? Sign me the fuck up.

Would they survive? Nope. They're doomed by the narrative

Veronica and JD from Heathers

Mr. Manipulator JD would be really dangerous in the bathroom trap and would genuinely fuck with Veronica at first. I think ultimately she'd shoot him and win the game.

Another french movie, Hubert and Larmina from OSS 117 le Caire nid d'espion.

Would they survive? Larmina yes, Hubert no. But I think they'd be the kind to accidentally find out the guy in the middle was alive. Hubert would get really offended by the nature of the game and would yell at the camera. He would also be too busy bitching about how dirty the place is while Larmina would be figuring a way to get out.

Guildenstern and Rosencrantz from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead

My head is aching just imagining the conversations they'd hold during those 6 hours. "Do you remember how you got here?" "We were sent for!"

Just like in the movie, Rosencrantz would find all kinds of clues that would help them get out, but Guildenstern would somehow miss all of them or not believe any of them. Would they survive it? I don't think so, but if one of them had to, it would be Guildenstern who shot Rosencrantz
