• Trivia
  Luc Merenda also came out of retirement to play The Detective. Roth is a huge fan of Merenda's 1970's Italian films such as _Torso (1977)_ and _Kidnap Syndicate, The (1979)_ , and asked him to play the role. Merenda called Edwige Fenech and asked her how she enjoyed working with Roth, and her response was so overwhelmingly enthusiastic that Merenda agreed to do it. Now a successful top dealer, Luc Merenda last was seen on the 1992 television show Edera, L', starring Susanna Bequer, who plays The Translator in the scene with Merenda in Hostel: Part II.
  Edwige Fenech came out of acting retirement to play the role of The Professor. Eli Roth, a huge fan of Fenech, met her in Rome during his "Hostel" press tour, and asked her if she'd ever consider acting again. Fenech, now a highly successful producer and film distributor in Italy, told Roth she'd only act again for him, so Roth wrote the part for her.
  In an article for Variety, Eli states, "We've got actual theme rooms."
  In the full trailer, you can clearly see in the background on television that two girls are watching Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino, executive producer of Hostel and Hostel II.
  Jay Hernandez's corpse is reused from Eli Roth's Thanksgiving trailer in Grindhouse.
  Eli Roth's severed head can be seen amongst others, including Tarantino's in one scene.
  When Beth is in Axelle's room and is looking around, you can see Axelle in a photo with Natalya and Svetlana, the two girls from the Hostel.
  During a torture scene, Roger Bart says, "I'm Hercules!". Roger played Young Hercules in the 1997 Disney movie, Hercules.
  Ruggero Deodato, the director of the controversial 1980 film Cannibal Holocaust, has a brief cameo as a cannibal in the film.

  When Beth is first captured, the gun held by the business man is a single-stack .45 ACP 1911 pistol (evidenced by the magazine at the bottom of the weapon). A few seconds later, when the children are lined up, the gun becomes a Beretta with a standard barrel. A few seconds later, when the silencer is attached, the gun magically has an extended threaded barrel (to allow attachment of the silencer). The silencer that was used obviously screwed on, which would not attach to a standard factory barrel.
