The Human Centipede: Difference between revisions

[[File:Human_Centipede_poster_7262.jpg|frame| Gives the phrase "eat shit and die" (and the term "ass to mouth") a whole new meaning.]]

 

'''Dante''': You ''never'' go ass-to-mouth!|''[[Clerks II]]''}}

 

Still with us? Here we go. Don't say we didn't warn you.

 

 

Two young American tourists, Lindsay and Jenny, are traveling through Germany when they [[My Car Hates Me|get a flat tire]]. They stop for help at the house of [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Dr. Josef]] [[Herr Doctor|Heiter]] ([[Awesome McCoolname|Dieter Laser]]), a surgeon who specializes in separating conjoined twins. However, Heiter is [[Mad Doctor|a man with a vision]]. We're going to let you get a cold drink and a comfy seat before we share [[Body Horror|his vision]] with you. If you're the drinking type, make the drink a [[I Need a Freaking Drink|stiff one]].

Clearly, it was successful enough at festivals to warrant a [[Sequel]] in 2011. ''The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)'', filmed and set in England -- where the uncut version was [[Banned in China]] until 2:37 of footage was edited out -- centers around a [[Psychopathic Manchild]] named Martin, who is obsessed with the [[Show Within a Show|first film]] and decides to imitate and top it. Tom Six has described it as making the original film look like ''[[My Little Pony]]'', an allegation that, judging by people's reactions to the finished product, is frighteningly true. While the first film was billed as "100% medically accurate", Six has described the sequel as "100% [[You Fail Biology Forever|medically]] [[Take That Us|inaccurate]]".

 

 

 

Not to be confused with ''[[Ciem Webcomic Series|Ciem: The Human Centipede]]''.

 

----

* [[All Animals Are Dogs]]: Heiter attempts to invoke this with the centipede by trying to get it to fetch the newspaper.

* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]}}: The sequel is {{spoiler|just one of Martin's fantasies as he watches the original film; though some background noise as the film ends hints at [[Or Was It a Dream?]]}}.

** You'll need even more for the sequel.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Lindsay and Jenny.

** On the other hand, he gave the sequel zero stars, because it was "reprehensible, dismaying, ugly, artless and an affront to any notion, however remote, of human decency."

* [[Creepy Centipedes]]: Not the literal one but close enough....

** Played straight with Martin's pet centipede in the sequel.

* [[Evilly Affable]]: Heiter has his moments. Especially when the power cuts out and he apologizes.

* [[Expy]]: ''Full Sequence'' will feature a [[Guilty Gear|mad doctor with a cardboard box, punctured with one eye-hole, on his head]].

* [[Final Girl]]: {{spoiler|Yennie is implied to have survived the second film.}}

* [[Flesh Golem]]

* [[Kneecapping]]

* [[Large Ham]]: Dieter Laser is [[Chewing the Scenery|clearly having a lot of fun]].

* [[Left Hanging]]: Considering that there should have been some police backup the very same day (since two cops didn't report back from Creepy Guy's home), it's odd that there's no mention of Lindsay's fate.

* [[Mad Doctor]]: Heiter. IN SPADES. Well, he ''is'' named [[Meaningful Name|Josef]]...

* [[Oops, I Dropped the Keys]]: Lindsay ''deliberately'' drops the keys (for some reason) after locking herself in the [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate|doctor's]] bedroom. She then realizes what a dumb idea this was, when the doctor then appears at the window with an axe.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: At the moment, Dieter Laser appears to be having a falling out and won't appear in the third film to reprise his role. As such, the role is being recast, with none other than Udo Kier himself in talks.

** The script (available at the linked site) is actually quite funny, mostly due to the parody element.

* [[Plot Hole]]: How did Heiter get the centipede out of the basement/OR if all he has is a spiral staircase? {{spoiler|This becomes quite an issue when the centipede attempts to escape}}.

* [[Tears of Joy]]: Heiter, {{spoiler|once... oh dear god... once it's complete}}.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Jenny & Lindsay, rather than staying on the road like any rational human being, decide to walk into the woods (at night) in the middle of nowhere Germany.

** Or just driving on the flat tire since the car still ran. If they were smart, they would have paid for the insurance; so they could total it if they had to.

* [[Torture Porn]]
