Heather Matarazzo talked about the scene where her character Lorna is hanging upside down defenseless, completely naked, and she's crying out for her mom: "To get me ready, they had given me an inversion machine, and for every day for about a month and a half, I would use this inversion machine and hang upside down for two minutes at a time, then for three, then for four, and I eventually ended up getting it up to 20 minutes. That way on the days that we were shooting, they weren't going to have to take me down every five minutes, which cuts like 10 minutes into the schedule. And then imagine having to do that every five minutes? That scene would end up taking a week to shoot, and we had to shoot it in two days." "In terms of getting naked and having to show my body, I felt really lucky and grateful that everyone was incredibly respectful. The days we were shooting that, I had this pink robe on and I would get on the set and everybody's just very tense. You could hear a pin drop. There was this saying that I learned in Prague, and its a Czech saying that goes, 'Dobrý Den, Prsa Ven,' which means 'Good Day, Tits Out.'" "So, when I walked on the set for the first time, I could just feel the palpable tension in the room. I took off my pink robe and said in front of everybody, 'Dobrý Den, Prsa Ven,' everyone struggled for a second and they started laughing hysterically. That broke the tension and it broke the ice, and that was it. But the truth is, those two days of filming were a complete blur. I was hanging probably 15 feet up in the air, and the only thing that I have that's a safety precaution is that my feet are in these stirrups. Also, I have very small feet and very small ankles. At one point, Eli's asking me to wriggle around like a fish, so you're using your entire body to move, and I started to feel my feet start to slip out of the harness." "I had the gag in my mouth and I had those chains around my wrists, and I remember specifically thinking, 'I'm going to fall,' or, 'I'm going to die.' I calmly took the gag thing out of my mouth and I told them that my foot was slipping and it needed to be tighter. They brought me down and made it tighter, and everything was great. But from that moment on, that seed of fear was planted and I couldn't shake that feeling that I might die, which worked very, very well for that scene. And the result of that scene was that Hostel: Part II was banned in three countries."
