Most would have been dead?

***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

Is it just me or did you think that most of the victims would have died before it even got to the centipede?

he hit all of them very hard and I am sure most would be in no state to do half the things they did (Even saying that sounds stupid).

I liked the film... But I read that this was meant to be more real... but for me it was anything but.

If it was a DREAM then I can understand that it was a dream or a fantasy... but if not... It was a bit too much to believe.

The first I feel was much more believable.

Just a side note... I think for a bunch of people who have been hit over the head with a crowbar, but up with blunt tools by a guy who has no idea what he is doing... They were a great centipede.

That's not even the weird part of the movie. The thing that I was questioning the most is how he hadn't gotten caught after the first victim he took. He really did not clean up his tracks well, and there was blood and stuff left all over the place when he hit or shot them. Someone had to have noticed it eventually. Also, aren't people going to start questioning where all the missing people are? In the first movie, it kind of made sense because all the victims were tourists, so no locals knew them and their family and friends just thought they were in Germany. But in the second movie, this is twelve people that just disappear out of thin air. Someone had to have at least noticed that. So yes, I think it really was all jjust a fantasy.

Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement

This is why many (including me) speculate that it was all in his head. Because if it wasn't, it was just completely unlikely and dumb as fuck.

Given the type of film it is, often you find the bigger they go the less "believeable" they are in general. I find that this was probably the intent of doing the trilogy the way they are. A concept like HC1, is more practical (even with it's problems). Mad scientist surgeon kidnaps tourists (and even gets in trouble as the law does show up) and maintains a secluded place in the woods.

Now In HC2, getting 10-12 victims in a more populated area and doing it when you are not a surgeon, throws most of that "logic" straight out the bleeping window.

But again explotation is about pushing boundaries and trying to sell something people will find sick or revolting but still want to see play out within a screen. The first one is more wholesome, it's more well crafted and has a man making a centipede out of his own twisted passion for surgery. While the second gives us a maniac who just wants to emulate him to fulfill his own twisted sexual fantasy.

For all the sick **** he put on the screen, filled with lots and lots of problems. Id say Six made two pretty good exploitation flicks. And while his doctors may not be the most fleshed out characters, he did a good job making them interesting.

Gamefaqs has a far worse population than IMDB

I think its safe to say that this type of movie requires a suspension of reality vs fantasy. IE you can't out too much thought into whether anyone could actually survive something like this.

True, but as Oddark said above your post, the quality of the first movie was that is was really well studied - if somebody would be a good enough surgeon, that could actually happen.

I agree with the OP, this was my problem already with the first two victims. Hitting them so hardly in the head, most of them multiple times, shooting them in the legs and close to the big arteries ... They would bleed out very quickly, or at least would have suffered tremendous brain damage and couldn't function as well as the actually did.

I guess we were ment to believe that the garage was so big and had such little activity that ther weren't that many opportunities for people to notice anyting.

It was a fan remake. The first movie did not do well as is because of the budget vs. revenue it generated. This second one, Tom Six probably looked at IMDb comments and found that people wanted to see a slasher instead of psychological. Still, this movie did not do well either.

Reminder: The O.C. resets to its first episode on POP network April 1 @ 2 p.m. EST

Yes there is no way they all would have survived all of those blows to the head and being shot. If we are going by the alternate ending (the conjoined edition uses this ending) then the entire thing was indeed Dr Heiters dream

Even if they hadn't died there is no way in hell that someone in as poor physical condition as Martin would've been capable of moving all those incapacitated bodies around. The guy looked out of breath just getting out of bed.

He's also got an unrealistically good shot, like when he shoots the black guy (not his wife or baby) clear across the parking lot in exactly the right place so that he only wounds him.

Not to mention he seems incapable of speaking aside from random squeals yet he was somehow able to convince Ashlynn Yennie that he was setting up an audition for a Tarantino film.

[–] SpaceAce2001 (387) 7 years ago

Yeah seriously how could Ms Yennie ever think he was one of Tarantino’s agents. And did she not hear the people gasping for help in the back?

Stop criticizing this masterpiece!

Dude you are talking to the guy who has all 3 films on blu ray Steelbook and has the special "conjoined" edition where all 3 films are edited into one which includes the alternate ending which simply restarts the entire 4.5 hour film.
