Characters

Hey... i dont know about anyone else but i have noticed that all the characters in the original Cube are named after prisons.

Quetin: San Quetin state prison in california
Holloway= holloway prison in london
Leaven and worth = Leavenworth prison in kansas
Kazan = Kazan prison in russia
Rennes = Rennes prison in france

The characters themselves reflect the prisons in their traits. Kazan is a disorganized prison. Rennes pioneered many of today's prison policies. San Quentin is known for brutality. Holloway is a women's prison (lol thats all they could think of... Kazan is disorganised and holloway is like the person in the movie because they both have something to do with women). Alderson is a prison where isolation is a common punishment. Leavenworth runs on a rigid set of rules, and the new prison is corporately owned and built.

Here is a list of all the traps in the first Cube movie:

The mesh trap - A hallmark trap of the Cube series as the first to be shown in the first movie, with a brief appearance in Cube Zero prequel. It is a rack of razor-sharp wire which unfurls and falls from the ceiling onto the victim who walks into the room. It slices the victim's body into cube-shaped chunks, which then fall apart. The wire rack then folds up, and returns to its original position. Alderson is killed at the beginning of the film by this trap.
Flamethrower - A simple trap, this is simply a flame thrower that comes out of the walls and shoots fire when a victim is detected in the room. This trap can be detected by throwing a boot into the room to set off the motion sensors.
Acid sprayer - A small hole in the wall opens to spray a strong acid into a victim's face, quickly dissolving it and killing the person. Unlike the flamethrower, this trap is not detectable by boot and appears to be activated by the chemical detector. Rennes is killed by this trap.
Spear trap - This trap is sound activated (though built to ignore the noisy opening of cube doors). Metal spears extend out of the walls and across the room to skewer those within. The characters are still able to pass through a room with this trap by being silent and careful. Production designs in the DVD special features show that the spikes are constructed so that they retract into a coil, thus explaining how such long spikes can fit in the walls.
The wire twist trap - Lines of razorwire extend from ceiling to floor, to form a round cage around a target. They twist inwards like a spiral to cut the victim into pieces, much like the swinging dicer trap. Quentin gets caught in this trap but rolls away before it closes completely. It is dubbed the "Sushi Trap" or "Sushi Machine" by Quentin.
Unknown trap - Little is known about this trap. Rennes discovers it before entering, due to the dryness of the air in the room. It reacts to the hydrogen sulfide gas emitted by the occupant. This trap shows that there are several types of sensors used throughout the cube that are immune to the boot test.
Cube transitions - The movement of the cubes themselves could also be considered a trap. Anyone who is in the crawlspace between the cubes during the shuffle is torn in half as the rooms move apart. Quentin is killed by this "trap".

Thanks for this, you said it was a copy and paste, do you mind posting the link as to where you got it from?

You would have through Leaven and Worth would have different prisons, instead of sharing one?
Thanks again!
