Comparison between the shortened US Video-on-demand version and the uncut Video-on-demand verson from bountyfilms.com
- 4 cuts and one zoomed shot - Difference: 182.1 sec (= 3:02 min) The difference in time refers to NTSC-speed! The MovieIn 2009, director Tom Six released The Human Centipede: First Sequence which was an appeal for genre fans just because of its concept. Apparently, the movie was based on a humorously vicious statement that every child abuser should be punished in this way. The plot revolves around a crazy German scientist who wants to build a human centipede by seaming several persons together mouth to derriere. The whole thing was advertised with the slogan "100% medically accurate" which was (allegedly) confirmed by a surgeon who was present while the movie was shot. What was actually surprising was the fact that Dr. Heiter acts so serious and that the movie is not all that graphic - the shock value rather comes from your inner cinema as well as the psychotic acting of Dieter Laser. It's a comparatively intelligent piece of distusting cinema which was able to dodge all the criticism of being "torture porn". During the production of the first movie, Six already announced that he was working on a sequel which was going to make the first part look like a kid's movie. In fact, The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence goes into a completely different direction in terms of style: it takes place on a meta level, where the first part exists as a movie and an insane fan of the movie - a rather chubby man named Martin - wants to re-enact the film's plot. Since he doesn't have the same medical skills to pull the act off, this movie - opposite to its slogan "100% medically inaccurate" - is pretty chaotic. Teeth are getting smashed out with a hammer, the sewing gets done with a stapler - thus, the sequel shows everything one might have imagined seeing after hearing of the first movie. The film is full of blood and torture which is not really mitigated by converting to black and white.

Credits
00:00-00:20/ 00:00-00:14 The US-VOD includes a warning notice at the beginning of the film, followed by the IFC Films logo. The Uncut version only shows the Monster Pictures logo. US VOD 5.2 sec longer 29:13 / 27:56-28:13 Martin's aroused and wraps sandpaper around his penis. 17.7 sec 29:21 / 28:20-28:23 Before the movie cuts back to the girls in the parking garage you see a close up shot of Martin masturbating with the sandpaper in his hand. 2.2 sec 76:06 / 73:13-74:13 Martin is standing behind the centipede and is obviously aroused - he touches his crotch. He bends down, picks up a piece of barbwire and wraps it around his penis. In between you see the girl at the end of the centipede uneasily looking around while Martin gets down on his knees behind her. 61.9 sec 76:10 / 74:17-75:53 After you saw somebody waving his/her hands around for about 4 seconds the US-VOD now misses out on the entire rape scene. In between you again and again see other victims at the front of the "centipede". At some point Martin finally climaxes and slumps down. 100.3 sec Zoom 76:10-76:14 / 76:53-76:57 At least the last 4 seconds of the longer shot of Martin on the girl are included in the US-VOD. However, the scene was zoomed so that you can barely see the girl. No difference in time.
