The Human Centipede

Revealing mistake: When Dr. Heiter takes Katsuro from his car, you see Heiter drag him out of the back seat. He then proceeds to lift Katsuro. If you watch Katsuro's hand, you'll see he "helps" Heiter by pushing himself on the door-frame of the car (you see his hand tense as he pushes himself up).

Revealing mistake: When Doctor Haier is explaining the operation to the captives, he says he'll sever the ligament in the knee. However, around the 1-hour mark when the captives are walking by the pool, you can see the rear woman's leg raise her left foot off the floor when she moves forward, showing she still has control over her knee.

Suggested correction: He explicitly states that the ligament severed prevents the knee from being straightened, not bent.

Revealing mistake: The victims are supposed to be surgically connected mouth-to-anus. The majority of the time, their heads are far too high to be connected this way.

Factual error: During the surgical operation, Dr. Heiter makes incisions on the buttocks for the triangular flaps of connecting flesh; but the flaps are pointing outward, rather than inward. The only way to graft the buttock flesh to the face of the next subject would be with the buttock incisions pointing inward.

Trivia: The movie spawned from a dark joke the director made. He had jokingly blurted out that a sexual predator he saw on TV should "have his mouth stitched to the a** of a fat truck driver." He and his friends found the idea so gross that he decided to develop it into a horror movie.

Question: When the two girls get out of their car due to a flat tyre, they begin walking back from where they just came. Why didn't they keep walking in the direction they were going instead of back tracking?

Michelle Ferris

Answer: Because back tracking they know what's around. They've already traveled that way and know it's passable and relatively safe.
