Contrary to some reports, this is not the most gory film of the trilogy, but it is likely to attract controversy for its religious and racial references. It is also overtly political. The prison where the entire story is told is called George H W Bush Prison - inmates are dressed in orange boiler suits and there are obvious references to Guantanamo Bay. I think people will be talking about the concept in years," he says.
You can't get rid of it. People will tell their children about the idea. He's delighted that they have given rise to spoofs and innumerable party costumes. They get tattoos depicting the centipede. South Park dedicated an episode to the film and there is even an American porn version - I think all good films need a porn parody," he says.
There's enough violence in the news already," he says. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Image source, Six Entertainment.

Tom Six makes an appearance as himself - the prison authorities contact him to ask his permission to use his Human Centipede concept as a tool to cut costs and punish prisoners.
The film features the debut of the Human Caterpillar - it's like the Human Centipede but different I had a girl that passed out [at a screening] and had to be taken out by an ambulance. I get a lot of death threats still. Karina Longworth film critic : The reaction I had of wanting to throw up is a visceral thing, and the movie showed a certain kind of skill in getting that reaction out of me.
For what it was, The Human Centipede was perfect. Ninety minutes of savage beatings, matricide, and highly unsterilized surgery ensue, all captured in grim black and white. Also, just FYI, things only get grosser from here.
Tom Six : When I was writing the first one, I came up with the idea to make three films because I wanted to make a film version of a human centipede — something with three parts. Laurence R. Harvey Martin : My agent had been in touch saying some people from Amsterdam wanted me to be in a porn film. Tom Six : Dr. Heiter is a lean, tall, almost handsome guy. This time I wanted a fat, small, chubby guy. Harvey : Tom and I got on like a house of fire. Can you rape the centipede?
Tom Six : All the actors I cast are so funny. One of them told me that before she did a scene where she was assaulted, she asked her boyfriend the night before to be violent with her to see how she could play it. Of course, the guy refused. She made the fake poo that everybody had in their mouth, and it was made out of like coconut milk and cacao, and it was super good.
Tom Six : People were so shocked by [ Part I ], but a lot of things happen in your own mind. We want more. Bill Hutchens Dr. Sebring : The scene with Laurence at the warehouse with barbed wire around his … that was the bit over-the-top. Longworth : [The sequel] took the good faith someone like me had in the first one and tried really hard to create the opposite reaction, to make sure I would be as uncomfortable as, say, Roger Ebert was with the first one. Bigger in scope and brighter in color than either of the first two installments, the farcical The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence involves a monstrous psychotic prison warden, Bill Boss played by Laser; Harvey also returned for the film who seeks to tame his rowdy inmates by combining them into one massive megapede.
Harvey Dwight Butler : I was excited [about] working with Dieter. Heiter, except a warm version. Dieter was a lot more relaxed. It escalated into my refusal to play a part in the third film. Thank God Tom did not give in.
Robert LaSardo Inmate : In terms of mechanics, we just positioned ourselves for [the kidney sex], and then it was a matter of comfort level. Bree Olson Daisy : I was determined to make [Laser] smile and laugh on set. Martin is a demented, obese, and non-speaking man, played very well by newcomer Laurence R. Martin works as a security guard in an underground parking garage and has a sexual obsession with the first film. Yup, the first film, which Tom Six also wrote and directed.
For his own entertainment and sexual pleasure. Talk about an unusual sequel. He violently kidnaps some people in the parking garage. There's not a single bystander around, for whatever reason. I'm not sure if I buy that, but then again, I don't know how much realism Tom Six was going for. Martin keeps his centipede victims in a warehouse and eventually combines ten of them together, which makes my summary even more suitable. If it was in colour, especially with little or even no altering, the film would've still been bleak, of course, but as it is, boy, is it bleak.
In a good way, nonetheless. Both are eerie, weird, in black and white, don't have much dialogue, involve an infant or two, and have each main character living in an apartment. If David Lynch saw this film, I wonder what he would think about it. If I look away when watching a film, it's usually because the film doesn't have me interested and not because there's something way too repulsive happening on the screen for me to even look at. Nonetheless, it's mostly effective with its unorthodox storytelling, grungy and downbeat look, and the acting.
I had a bit of trouble believing the couple at the beginning, but that's a nitpick. There's a lot of human suffering and it largely comes from the victims in the warehouse. Even though they seriously lack characterization, I did care about them, at least somewhat. No sane person wants to go through their ordeal. I should mention I really enjoyed the first film. Even though the victims also lack characterization, they have more going for them and I strangely felt more sorry and supportive for them.
It's probably because their pain wasn't overwhelming, they're main characters, and there's more focus on them potentially escaping.
Here, the story is told mostly from Martin's perspective. He's definitely not somebody to root for. Why is he twisted? What's wrong with his sexuality? His sexual abuse by his father, whom we don't see in person, probably has something to do with those questions. Probably abuse by his mother, as well, whom he lives with.
Yeah, this film hardly explores his past. How come we never see Martin talk? I don't know. I actually don't consider it a flaw, however. I'm so used to main characters talking in films and with the different way it's done here, I didn't mind. He's implicitly characterized, but at the same time, his behaviour is pretty unsurprising. I don't think main characters necessarily have to be likable as if they're a close friend, but they should be interesting, one way or another.
I guess Martin deserves some pity there, but when it comes to the film as a whole, you'd probably be wishing him death or having him locked away in a mental institution. I pick the latter. It's well shot, even though shots are depressing as hell, especially in black and white. I doubt the film is trying to say anything about someone who's inspired by violence in films to use violence in real life.
I don't think the film absolutely should, either.
