Hostel (2005)

6 revealing mistakes - chronological order

★★★★☆

Directed by: Eli Roth

Starring: Jay Hernandez, Derek Richardson, Barbara Nedeljakova, Eythor Gudjonsson

Revealing mistake: Before Paxton is hit with the 3 prong instrument, you can see the bloody holes already on his shirt. (01:01:20)

Revealing mistake: Very obvious that Kana has a rubber prop and eye attached to her face. Especially when Paxton is getting ready to cut her eye off. (01:18:15)

Revealing mistake: Right after Kana opts for suicide by train, watch the security guard who starts running second from the left. He is having a hard time keeping a straight face and is obviously trying to hold off his laughter. (01:25:30)

Daniel Garner

Revealing mistake: When the lead character has his fingers cut off, you can tell the hand is just a prop, as it is completely motionless during the shot.

Revealing mistake: When the businessman has his fingers cut off by the lead character, you can tell the hand is a prop, as the skin tone does not match his hand in previous shots, and it moves unrealistically.

Revealing mistake: When the kids throw rocks at the bad guys, there is blood on his head before he is hit.

Mistakes

Plot hole: In the nightclub scene where Josh is drugged before his is taken to the torture factory, Paxton is drugged too. That means he was supposed to be taken there as well, but he ends up locked in a storage closet for the rest of the night. The two girls working for the Hostel pointed out where the bathroom was for Paxton, so they would have known where he generally was. Hard to believe that they or anyone in cahoots would not try to look for him.

Questions

Question: At the very end of the movie, just before the credits stop rolling, we hear Natalya's line, "I get a lot of money for you, and that makes you *my* bitch". Sounds to me like a filmmaker's joke on the audience (meaning, he's making money 'cause people are watching his picture). Does anyone know what this really was intended to mean? Any official words about it from Eli Roth or his crew?

Answer: This is actually a reference to both Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino's experience with the same hooker. After both Tarantino and Roth "had" the same call girl without either of them knowing, the hooker replied to both of them as she left their separate rooms, "I get a lot of money for you, and that makes you MY bitch. Hence, the opening line for the trailer. Both of them had a big laugh during the premiere.
