Americans cost the most at $25,000, with Europeans at $10,000, Russians at $5,000 and Germans are part of the European price. It is not on the card, but the American business man Paxton meets in the changeroom pays $50,000 for the Asian he tortured.

Eli Roth. "Hostel" is Eli Roth's second film since "Cabin Fever". Roth was originally going to make a documentary called "Murder Vacation" because ohe saw a website actually advertising to kill someone for $10,000. Helater decided to make a full length film because of how hard and dangerous it could be to get involved with such crime.
Eli Roth. Eli Roth also directed the horror flick "Cabin Fever". He is envied by other directors because of the way he uses simple resources and doesn't spend too much money creating his movie. He spent somewhere over a million on the "Hostel" movie, just creating it, but he made over a billion once it got to theaters.

A salad. Paxton asks him "You need a fork there chief?"
The Dutch businessman replies "No. I prefer to use my hands. I believe people have lost their relationship with food. They do not think 'this is something that died for me so that I would not go hungry.' I like that connection with something you die for. I appreciate it more."
The Dutch businessman is eating the meat from his salad with his fingers which is what sparks the conversation.
The two friends are also making fun of the fact that the businessman just hit on one of them, and they are making a joke about it.

The King of Swing. Paxton asks him "You made a reservation under 'The King of Swing'?"

Oli likes to call himself the King of Swing, and it's funny because it fits in with the personality he has in the movie.
Natalya. Natalya has brown hair and she really seems to like him.
Svetlana. Svetlana is the blond girl who is friends with Natalya. Svetlana is in business with Elite Hunting just like Natalya is. We don't really get to know Svetlana that well because it is Natalya that takes Paxton to the "art exhibit".
Oli. Oli hooked up with Vala, so the next morning when Oli had "checked out" Paxton was looking for Vala because Paxton figured that Vala and Oli were still together since the night before.
A storage room. Something was slipped into his drink and it made him all shaky when he was walking. Someone had left the storage room door open and he thought it was the bathroom. Then the door closed and he got locked in there until morning.

| When looking for his friends, Paxton got a text message picture with a picture of his friend's head. His phone was taken away from him. Who took the phone? | "Hostel" - Part Two

some younger kids. The kids basically ruled the streets, they kind of are like mini gangsters because they roll in a pack and steal things from people. Later in the movie they become very helpful to Paxton later on in the movie.
The Dutch businessman. Josh: "You... Why?"
The Dutch Businessman: "I always wanted to be a surgeon. But the boards would not pass me. Can you guess why? You see? So I went into business. But business is so boring. You buy things you sell them, you make money you spend money. What kind of life is that? A surgeon, he holds the very essence of life in his hands - your life. He touches it."
Josh offers to pay him money to let him go, but the Dutch businessman really wanted to torture Josh. After he killed him he then had a pretend surgery on him.
Elite Hunting. We see the business card when Paxton is upstairs in the room taking some one's clothes to hide the blood on himself. On the back of the card are the prices for the nationality of the person. Americans were the most expensive.
two. Luckily after he kills his torturer he grabs the fingers and saves them.
her face being blow torched. Paxton was able to save Kana (the Asian girl) but only one half of her face is still normal looking. She is lucky that he didn't blow torch her whole face.
Slovakia. The movie actually starts in Amsterdam, where it starts out being fun. As the three boys travel further into Europe, the colors fade and the country seems more dim and dark.
He torches her eyeball.. Near the end of the movie the American businessman, who is played by Rick Hoffman, pays to torture Kana. Paxton runs back into the museum after he hears a horrid scream. The American businessman is using a blow torch to torch Kana's eye. Paxton ends up shooting the American businessman.
Yes. Eli Roth is the writer and director of the movie. He has a small part in the film. He can be seen in the cafe, in the background when they are smoking.
