Hostel (2005) - 8 corrections

Directed by Eli Roth

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When the Japanese girl is looking into the glass at the train station towards the end of the movie, you can see her real eye underneath the makeup of her gouged eye. [I just watched the scene several times, and you never see her real eye under the makeup.]

Towards the end of the movie an Asian girl is tortured, having most of her right face burnt off with a welding-torch, before Paxton rescues her. Miraculously, however, despite the intense burning, none of her hair is so much as singed. [Her hair was out of her face and she was burnt with a torch that had a very straight flame coming out of it. Not so unrealistic at all.] Corrected by Phixius

The guys are supposed to go to a hostel "someplace near Bratislava, Slovakia". But as they approach the destination train station, they get off in town called "Poricany" (see the station sign), which is located in Czech Republic (different country), about 22 miles east from Prague and about 3 hours north-west from Bratislava. [They catch a taxi (or private car, who often give rides for cash to people) from Poricany. It is not shown how long they were in the car. He could have driven them the whole way. It's possible that Poricany being a small town, would not have a connecting train to Bratislava until much later, even the next day, so they chose to take a taxi the rest of the way.]

When at the disco in the beginning of the film, the blonde boy gives his fanny pack to Paxton to go dance with someone. Later, it shows them walking towards their hostel, but no one has the fanny pack, and no further mention is made of it. [Paxton has it in his hand the whole time.]

When the main character is escaping, he gets slowed down by a parked van. As the driver gets in the van, you can see the van move before you hear the engine starting. [More than likely, the van has a manual transmission where when you press the clutch to start the vehicle. If the parking brake is not pressed in, the vehicle can move vefore the driver starts the engine.]

When Pax is hiding on the cart in the "chop shop" room, watch as the body above him gets thrown onto the table to be chopped up. You can CLEARLY see the dead body breathing. [You never see any of the bodies breathing. In fact, there are no full bodies on top of him, only pieces.]

At the beginning when the guys are in Amsterdam yelling to open the door to the hostel where they stay in. They are actually yelling in German rather than Dutch while they are in Holland. This happens quite frequently at the beginning of the movie. [These are Americans, in a foreign country, and as such, make a poor assumption. Character mistake.] Corrected by wizard_of_gore

When Paxton kills the "German Surgeon" near the end of the movie, there is blood and bloody water everywhere, yet when he's back on the train, there is not a spot of blood on Paxton's clothes. [The blood was coming from the mans hand and face which were both pointing down towards the ground, therefore no blood got on Paxton at any time, except maybe his shoes.]
