Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe reason Bruce Willis is not credited is because he violated SAG rules for acting in this film for no money. He appeared for fun and as a favor to Quentin Tarantino, and acting for free violated SAG rules. SAG agreed not to sue Willis if his name was not included in the credits.
- GoofsThe hotel's vintage telephone switchboard adds an element of comic chaos, but it is not consistently used. Ted answers calls to the front desk by pushing cables into jacks, but Sarah (the little girl in "The Misbehavers") is able to dial another room directly. Also, when the partying guys call and don't know what room they are in, Ted should be able to get the room number right off the switchboard which means that Ted had no excuse to deliver the ice to the wrong room. Also near the end of the scene, Ted is shouting into the phone to send the police but this would be impossible because there was no-one on the switchboard to connect him to an external line.
- Quotes
Angela: Whether you like it or not, you are in the middle of a situation here you cannot just wish your way out of.
Ted the Bellhop: But I've never met you people before! You're complete strangers!
Angela: Everybody starts out as strangers, Ted. It's where we end up that counts.

- Alternate versionsAs indicated in the Technical Specifications link for this page on IMDB, there are two different versions of this film: "1 hr 38 min (98 min)" and "1 hr 50 min (110 min) (workprint)". Information on the workprint is as follows: "[The] second version is in English but it is overdubbed with Russian. This makes it almost impossible to work out what is extra as the Russian is much louder than the English and therefore the English cannot be heard for the majority of the movie. I have done some research and have been told that it is impossible to remove the Russian audio. The disc also contains a deleted scene from the Spanish DVD that is an alternate take, not used in either the DVD Version or the Workprint."

Featured review
I really don't understand why this movie got such bad reviews! Overall, this is a creative and refreshing movie. It is not Pulp Fiction but it is still a good performance. Tim Roth, especially, is the best thing in the film. Out of the four I like Robert Rodguize's misbehavior the best. The missing ingredient was indeed a bit cheesy but the rest are still above average performance. If you are interested in this movie but discouraged by the movie critics, I ensure you that you won't regret seeing it.
