Why don't they just leave?


He has them in locked in the warehouse, but doesn't bind their feet. Just their arms, and throws them on the ground. Crazy thought, but why don't they just...stand up and leave? There's over a dozen of them. They can overpower one little fat man even with their hands tied behind their backs

Mostly because they are very anxious to become segments in the centipede. An opportunity like that only comes along once in a life time, so I don't blame them for sticking around.

He cut the ligament in their knees you dumb asses (no pun intended)

Not until later. And the pregnAnt lady could have untied everyone!

reply

the pregnant woman only had such an opportunity after they had been stapled together and had their knees injured. If only she wasn't in such a panic as she bolted for it she might not have been screaming and not have been noticed, or went for a weapon and attacked the guy.
It seems like the only opportunity they had was at some point prior to having their knees cut if they could have some how stood up/crouched maybe they could have all jumped at the guy knocking him dow. Or the one guy who managed to get his mouth free could have tried to chew someone elses binds.

Think of the first one. 3 of them against one old man

reply

An old man with an air rifle.

Their ankles were clearly taped together. That's why they don't leave.

The pregnant lady's aren't. Her hands aren't either for that matter. Duct tape isn't that hard to break, and in several shots we see that not everyone has been shot in the leg. I paid close attention to it on my most recent viewing, which was just a few days ago. I still see no reason why at least half of them were in no condition to just work together and get the hell out of there during the hours and hours that he was gone. I'm just going to assume that the whole movie happened in the little fat man's head.

Because if they leave we don't get to see the 10 person human centipede, duh.

reply

Oh duh lol. Was it only 10 though? Seemed like more than that.

Because its not in the script!

reply

Cos he had a gun and they would have got shot.

reply

Was thinking the same, even tho he did bind their feet. They could have just rolled close to eachother and ripped the ductape off, could have been done in a few seconds and they would be free within minutes.

reply

Agreed. Before any of the 'surgery' had taken place, the pregnant woman had multiple opportunities to get out/help untie people. Also, there was a brown haired dude that managed to get the tape off of his mouth, so he could've potentially helped get other people untied...either by biting tape or attempting to motivate the useless pregnant woman.

"Well...I've seen enough. Come on Charlie, we're going home."
