Trivia
(at around 1h 5 mins) The porn film the guard at the factory watches on the DVD player is Sex Fever (2003), the X-rated parody of Roth's first film Cabin Fever (2002).

Goofs
(at around 1h 1 min) When Paxton is handcuffed to the chair and his torturer grabs the three-pronged metal pole, Paxton is shown with bloody hole marks on his shirt. Then it shows the guy holding the rod, then hitting Paxton twice, then the shot goes back to Paxton and the bloody holes are there. The holes were added and filmed before the torturer hit him.

Quotes
[last lines]
Natalya: [after all the credits have rolled] I get a lot of money for you, and that makes you MY bitch.

Crazy credits
At the very end of the credits, the character of Natalya is heard to say, "I get a lot of money for you... and that make you my bitch". This is a piece of audio lifted from an earlier scene in the film.

Alternate versions
The unrated DVD contains three additions that weren't in the theatrical version:
1. A close-up of the German Surgeon's severed leg after it's cut off by the chainsaw.
2. A slightly extended take of Kana's eye being cut off and the subsequent pus.
3. A close-up of the train crushing Kana's head during her suicide.

Of course, my horse!

This movie is soooo gross! The eye scene? Puke rising up to my mouth just thinking about it! Blech!!! So much excessive horror nastiness! Sick as heck, but just hard not to watch! Throw in the gorgeous women, and you've got a disgustingly beautiful horror flick!

I loved the Oli character - the king of swing - "Of course my horse"! And the gang of young boys that want gum! So weird! I also liked the whole Europeaness of the film - the location, language, and overall feel of it! Lent a big piece of realism to it all.

My negative rant is that I wanted to know more about the town, and the people, and the "why" of it all. I know money is part/most of it. But I wanted to know why.
