Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe El Royale was built from scratch on a sound stage with much of the furniture and decor being custom made (including branded matchboxes and coasters for the bar). The color scheme was meticulously set out so that the California side was mostly yellows and oranges, while the Nevada side was purples and blues. Red was reserved for the borderline, jukebox, and chandelier, while green is almost entirely absent until the end.
- GoofsMental degradation or impairment in the elderly that was diagnosed in the 1960s would have been lumped under the commonly understood designations of "senility" or "dementia" rather than Alzheimer's, especially when discussing the diagnosis with a patient. Alzheimer's as a common diagnosis was still almost two decades away.
- Quotes
Father Daniel Flynn: Miles, I fell down. I'm old. Shit happens, get the whiskey.
- Crazy creditsThere are almost no opening credits. Only the film's title is shown after the first scene.

Featured review
Engaging all the way through
It baffles me that this movie did not get better reviews than it did. Bad Times at the El Royale, is incredible, as the story is intriguing and all the actors get your attention with Chris Hemsworth standing out at the end.
The action scenes are great, the cinematography and the soundtrack also stand out a lot. This is just a fun movie all the way through and to me personally, it is one of the best films of the year.
