Hostel: Part II

Trivia: According to Eli Roth, the theatrical release of the film did not have proper color-correction, particularly with the blood. He was displeased by how the blood looked on-screen. However, home media releases on DVD/Blu-Ray featured proper color-correction that he approved of.

Trivia: When Stuart's severed "bits and pieces" are snatched up and eaten by one of the guard-dogs, special dog-food-based versions of the genitals had to be constructed by the makeup-effects team in order for the dog to be able to safely ingest them.

Trivia: Director Eli Roth wanted to use the same child actors for the "Bubblegum gang" that were in the first film. While he was able to use some of them (including the "lead" member), a number of the child actors had began to have growth-spurts in between films and no longer looked the same, and thus had to be recast.

Trivia: When Beth finds the room with the severed heads, watch the screen closely. The severed head to the left of Paxton's is actually director Eli Roth's head. Roth had the makeup-effects department build severed-head prop made of himself for this grisly cameo. (And contrary to popular belief, Roth confirmed that producer Quentin Tarantino's head is NOT in the scene.).

Trivia: The man who is seen eating the flesh of a male victim is a cameo appearance by Ruggero Deodato, director of the infamous "Cannibal Holocaust."

Trivia: The woman who bathes in the blood of one of the lead characters was inspired by the story of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a female serial killer who lived from 1560-1614. She was accused or torturing and killing numerous victims, and her crimes lead to the creation of a false myth that she would bathe in the blood of her victims in order to maintain a youthful look.

Question: ***Question contains spoiler*** OK, maybe I'm dense, but what was the point of killing the kid? Was it just another scene designed to shock the audience?

Answer: The kids were beating on Beth. If she was beaten and bruised she's worth less money. So Sasha told the "leader" of the gang to choose one to die or he will.

Chosen answer: I think it was meant to show that there is a line that the kids can't cross - if they do, then one of them will get sacrificed...hence why the adult doesn't show any mercy in doing it, and the kids know that something nasty is about to happen.
