The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) received substantial attention and controversy for its graphic depictions of violence, sexual violence and body horror. It was subject to heavy censorship throughout the world, where it was sometimes edited to remove objectionable content or banned altogether.
The film also features other acts of mutilation and violence, including bloody bullet impacts, a tongue being pulled out, and sight of throats being cut. The film also contains scenes of sexual and sexualised violence, most notably a sequence in which Martin rapes the woman at the end of his 'centipede'.
Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence, which was banned in Britain this year before film bosses agreed to re-edit it, was premiered at the Brisbane International Film Festival in early November and was initially given a restrictive adults only R18-plus rating.
The BBFC issued its ban after coming to the conclusion that the movie might violate the Obscene Publications Act, which prohibits "works that have a tendency to deprave or corrupt a significant proportion of those likely to see them." This illustrates the second reason that censorship almost always backfires: It's fair ...

Have any movies been banned in the US?
Despite being cited as one of the greatest films ever made, Bicycle Thieves was banned by MPAA in March 1950. This was due to a scene where a little boy urinates and for depicting a disturbing culture inside a brothel, alluding to a lifestyle that strayed away from conservative ideals.
The Human Centipede was released in the United States without an MPAA rating. It was released theatrically in New York City on 30 April 2010 and had a limited release in the US shortly afterward, distributed by IFC Films.
This is open to dispute, but one contender is Umberto Lenzi's Make Them Die Slowly - also known as Canibal Ferox (US 1980), billed as The Most Violent Ever. Publicity for the picture proudly proclaimed that it had been banned in 31 countries.
The film was also banned in Australia, the United States, Norway, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Singapore and several other countries in or before 1984.
The film was banned upon release in different cities in the United States as well as the United Kingdom and remains one of the scariest horror movies of all time and an influential classic.
The Human Centipede films are known for their depraved and disgusting content, but they have also sparked a fascination with body horror. The trilogy was actually inspired by horrific events from Nazi Germany, particularly the experiments conducted by Dr. Josef Mengele.
Tom Six shot "Full Sequence" in colour, but was later told he had to change it to black-and-white due to being too gory. The "feces" used in the film was a combination of cocoa powder, vegan condensed milk (because one of the actresses in the centipede was vegan), and crushed ginger biscuits (for texture).
The final shot shows Martin, alive and well, watching the DVD of the original film at work, while a baby is heard crying in the background. (It may be that Human Centipede (Full Sequence) was merely a dream, or it may be that Martin has returned to his job and is now planning further crimes.)
The thought of being attached to the another human being for the rest of your life is horrifying. If you're the middle or end piece, there's little chance for escape. Your mouth is attached to someone's backside, and as showcased later in the feature, Jenny is forced to swallow the feces that come out of Katsuro.
With a bulk of the film revolving around religion, the Catholic Church were not happy with the release of The Exorcist and its release led to them citing the film was “unsuitable for a wide audience" and there were calls for the film to be banned.
Cannibalism is defined as the consumption of another human's body matter, whether consensual or not. In the United States, there are no laws against cannibalism per se, but most, if not all, states have enacted laws that indirectly make it impossible to legally obtain and consume the body matter.
'Cannibal Holocaust' Invented the Found Footage Film. The second half of the movie focuses on the recovered film, and in doing so, innovates a new form of visual narrative that would go on to become a staple of the horror genre: found footage.
Idaho is the only U.S. state that discusses cannibalism explicitly within its legislation. Cannibalism there is defensible in cases of “extreme life-threatening conditions as the only apparent means of survival,” but conviction on a charge of cannibalism in any other case is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
And many titles are not given a reason for being banned. Titles such as 'Fifty Shades of Grey', Pride & Prejudice', and 'Sports Illustrated' are banned for containing sexually explicit content.

When films are submitted for classification, they can request a specific category for their film, and can be advised on how to reach that age rating. Studios don't want 18 ratings because they massively limit the audience and thus cut into profit.
There's a brutal horror film that's being branded more sickening than even the Human Centipede franchise ≠ and fans have been left disgusted. 2014 horror Tusk didn't make much of a dent in the market when it was first screened, but now it's been rediscovered on TikTok, and fans are truly disturbed.
Not only could one of the segments in the human centipede very likely bleed to death, they could die due to complications from anesthesia or ventilation. Dr. Owens explains: “Surgeons are not trained in how to administer pain medication or ventilation for a surgical procedure.
