Why didn't the pregnant woman untie the others?

Ok this really bugs me. Martin never bothered to duct tape the pregnant woman's hands. Sure, she's far along in pregnancy and wounded so she's pretty weak but she was left alone with the other victims for at least a day or so. Surely she could have mustered up the strength to remove the tape from at least one of the victim's hands. For that matter, none of them were taped very tight, you'd think they'd be able to wriggle free given the amount of time the movie implies they were left alone (anywhere from several hours to a few days)
Also, no one noticed all the blood in the parking lot? That sort of thing tends to attract attention and Martin did all of his kidnappings on camera.
Honestly, this movie reminded me of an old Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode where they gave out the "They Just Didn't Care" awards.

Untie who or what? IF she did untie one of them; they were stapled mouth-to-anus to each other. It wouldn't make any difference actually.

I believe there are a few scenes that you see her hands free BEFORE he staples them all together.

She was left alone with the others for quite some time before Martin actually did the "surgery" (at least overnight) All she had was duct tape around her ankles, yet instead of attempting to free herself and others, she just laid there cradling her abdomen the entire time. Also, there were plenty of victims who weren't tied all that tight and duct tape stretches a little. There's no reason they couldn't have wriggled free given the amount of time they had.

Yeah. It seems like it should have been easy to wriggle up to another person and use one person's hands to peel off the tape of another.

Even worse, with all that time alone, none of them ever moved from their designated positions on the floor. Wouldn't you wriggle over to a door or something?

That part of the movie just annoyed me.

Yeah, plus it's raining out, they're all bloody and sweaty. That stuff can't stick properly. And it doesn't even look like they were taped up properly when they were in line! Bad costuming. All flimsy and loose, and stuck to the hair.

In the end, Okonkwo threw the Cat.

Because she was in on the whole thing. Her and Martin were having a secret love affair, and the pregnant lady didn't want her husband to know, so they killed him in the worst way possible. After Martin kills the human centipede they eloped in France.

Sadly, that makes more sense than the other possible explanations of things that happen in this movie that have been discussed in this forum.

[–] william-lonkausky 13 years ago

he dint tie her hands, because the whole thing was a just a dream, the whole movie is what martin wants to do but does not and at the end he is at his job day dreaming/ the end

The pregnant woman was barely breathing after martin captured her,he even thinks shes dead at one point,as to why none of them tried to uncuff each other,ill bet martin hit them all on the head with the crowbar b4 he left for the night,just like he does b4 attempting surgery,the blood in the car park would be easily washed away.

I think what you fools and the original poster missed is that 100% of the torture Martin puts these people through/the surgery he performs on them is all in his head. Keep in mind that there is something clearly wrong with Martin's brain. And *beep* honestly people. Is anyone who watches this movie actually watching it for writing continuities? No. You all watched it to see some mouths attached to some *beep* So this thread is completely pointless.

That's true, it's just that annoying voice in our heads that we can't escape. "Why the **** don't they do this?" Happens with just about every movie. Duct tape is easy to get out of, just keep moving your wrists and working it. And if my pregnant wife and I were in the same situation I'd be out of that tape in minutes.

So yes, you're right. It's a dumb movie, and all we wanted to see was some gore and pooping in people's mouths, but some people just can't help but address the "why didn't they" scenarios xD.

Simple. Those are the rules. This time around Tom Six gave everyone what they wanted. The gore, the perversions, the absolute rediculous. Not that the other film lacked certain stock qualities but I felt the most grotesque moments of HC1 is what took place in the head of the viewer. Surgery was not shown. There was no vile crap segments. The Doctor, given all jokes implied about German sheizer films, could have been shown on-screen to engage in a LOT more disgusting things than wanting to play fetch. So for HC2 Six plays by the rules. Right down to it all being a sickos dream.

I'm reminded of the lyrics to Tool's "Ticks and Leaches"

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
Cuz this is what you're getting.
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke.
