The Human Centipede II

When Tom Six was promoting The Human Centipede (2009) and starting to write the sequel, people would ask him about his idea from the first being copied in real life. This inspired him for the sequel.

(at around 1h 23 mins) When Miss Yennie turns off the lights she turns off a plug socket. In the UK light circuits and socket circuits have to be separate so when she flicked the socket off only the appliance connected to the flex from the plug would go off and not the lights.

No opening titles appear at the beginning of the film.

The UK release was cut, the distributor was required to make 32 individual cuts to scenes of sexual and sexualised violence, sadistic violence and humiliation, and a child presented in an abusive and violent context. In this case, cuts included: a man masturbating with sandpaper around his penis; graphic sight of a man's teeth being removed with a hammer; graphic sight of lips being stapled to naked buttocks; graphic sight of forced defecation into and around other people's mouths; a man with barbed wire wrapped around his penis raping a woman; a newborn baby being killed; graphic sight of injury as staples are torn away from individuals' mouth and buttocks, in order to obtain an 18 classification. Cuts required in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, policy and the Video Recordings Act 1984. An uncut classification was not available.
