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.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie, the doctor invites the two girls knocking on his door inside out of the rain because their car broke down. He gives them both water (laced with drugs). One of the girls knocks her glass over, spilling most of the water, which can be seen as the glass sits on the table. Then when the doctor leaves the room, while the two girls are talking, you can see that the glass on the table magically is filled again.

Dr. Heiter: I'm Dr. Josef Heiter, retired, but still very well known as the leading surgeon in separating Siamese twins. Six months ago, I designed a never seen operation, not separating any more but creating. I transformed my three Rottweilers into a beautiful three hound construction. Good news, your tissues match. So, I'll explain this spectacular operation only once.

Trivia: Roger Ebert was so put off by this movie that in his written review he refused to assign it a star-rating.

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.
