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. I had to apologize to him. Even when I was apologizing, I was still scared.
I was fortunate enough to spend time with him. I felt I was in good company with Dieter, Laurence, and Tom, because they were all able to go there completely. In the long run, the Human Centipede films will last on the shelves of any supermarket and any university library all over the world for decades.
Tom Six : This was my idea, to make a trilogy, because otherwise you start copying yourself. I have so many more ideas for original films. You are a pervert! Detractors have suggested the franchise is the natural conclusion of the "torture porn" horror that gained popularity in the past decade - the films Saw and Hostel being the most popular examples. But Six says his vision is not "gore for the sake of gore".
They are dark comedies. They are horrible films, not horror films," he says. At the same time, he concedes: "I have an urge to shock. It gives me pleasure. Film critic Derek Malcolm says Human Centipede II was almost "perverse for the sake of being perverse" but argues that both of the films released so far have "artistic merit, some horrible artistic merit".
The second Human Centipede film is not a sequel in the traditional sense. Instead, the main character, Martin - a mute, overweight social outcast who lives with his suicidal mother - is so obsessed with the fiction of the first Human Centipede film that he wants to turn his obsession into reality. Shot entirely in black and white in a constantly raining East London, this is a bleaker film than its predecessor.
It was banned by the British Board of Film Censors, who demanded 32 cuts before allowing it to be released under an 18 certificate. Six employed a bodyguard for the Texas premiere of this film because of threats to his life.
In Australia the premiere was picketed by religious groups who suggested 'The Human Centipede is inspired by Satan'. The final centipede instalment is an altogether more glossy incarnation. Shot in sun-bathed Los Angeles in a huge disused prison and starring Eric Roberts, this is the Human Centipede given the full stars-and-stripes treatment.
The prison's warden Bill Boss, played by Dieter Laser, is the film's main protagonist. The Human Centipede sounded mysterious and unique. At the audition, Tom gave me this piece of blue paper with a picture of the human centipede on it. I was very shocked, but made sure I maintained a steely facial expression. He offered me the role of either the middle of the centipede or the girl at the end of it, who dies.
I wanted to take on the challenge of playing Lindsay, the middle girl who escapes and persists. I knew that acting with my eyes would be a real challenge.
For filming I went to Europe for nearly two months when there was still no script in place, so it was a real leap of faith. For the surgery scene, I was amazed at how realistic everything looked. Ashlynn [who played Jenny] and I became briefly convinced it was a snuff movie and that we really were going to be made into a human centipede. Tom was lovely to work with and let us improvise, which added a visceral horror to the film.
The number one question I get asked is did anyone fart in my mouth? The infamous scene where the character at the front of the centipede has to relieve himself was filmed in one take and took 10 seconds. The biggest issue was just how physically demanding it was to crawl around as the human centipede. It was real hard on our bodies. You had to act like your flesh was being torn while really moving your knees. Plus the prosthetic cheeks attached to our faces made it hard to open your mouth to eat during breaks.
I lied to my family about the plot of the film.
