Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Paxton dreams of the hospital in the beginning, the police officer tells him of a man that was murdered "in Vienna". Actually, the station in which the 'Elite Hunting' boss is murdered in 'Hostel' appears to be a German one (the signs in that station are only used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Germany).

Quotes:

Whitney: [to Beth] Is he hot, or is he too Eastern Bloc?

Roth dominates the horror industry.

Eli Roth actually made a horror sequel that was better than the first! This movie has just about everything. It was disturbing, without being to unrealistic. The characters were less believable than the first, but it was a fair trade to humanize the "clients". The violence was definitely over-the-top, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. And just when you think you have everything pieced together, Eli pulls the rug out from under you. Sick, twisted, depraved, BRILLIANT! Also, I would like to say something about the previous comments. You can't honestly say that the "Hostel" series isn't the most innovative line of films in the last decade. Films like "Wolf Creek", "The Hitcher", and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" did not have half the passion that this movie did.
