Trivia:
The "cover identity" for the BPRD is "Squeaky Clean Up waste management" (seen on the plaque at the front gate as Myers arrives). moreGoofs:
Continuity: In Rasputin's lair, Hellboy and Manning are proceeding slowly and carefully through a narrow passage lined with spikes, not only to make it through without being hurt by the spikes, but to sneak up on Kroenen, who is sitting in a chair in the room at the end of the passage listening to music. Manning negates the possibility of either of these things happening when he cuts the back of his left hand on a spike and exclaims "Ouch!", which Kroenen hears. However, when he and Hellboy make it into the room and see that Kroenen is no longer sitting in the chair, Manning says to Hellboy "Hey, it really went deep", and shows him the bloody cut, which is now near the tip of his left index finger. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: What is it that makes a man a man? Is it his origins, the way things start. Or is it something else, something harder to describe? For me it all began in 1944, classified mission off the coast of Scotland. The Nazis were desperate. Combining science and black magic they intended to upset the balance of the war...

I must say I would have never expected in my wildest dreams to enjoy a film like this so much, much less this one. Hellboy has it's faults but it's truly comic book/horror/fantasy hybrid masterpiece. It is the probably the best comic book movie I've ever seen. Based on a little known comic book I'm sure people will be running to buy now. Hellboy is the story of a group of bad guys whom are trying to destroy the world and end up bringing forth a small child like hellboy. After years of being raised by his founder he becomes a superhero monster fighting bad guys like himself and bringing them to justice while defending humanity. He's helped along in his quest by pyro girl Liz Sherman played beautifully by Selma Blair. And a very cool intellectual fish Looking guy referred to as Blue. But those people are back to destroy the world again as they have ressurected their master and it's up to Hellboy and his gang of misfits to protect humanity and foil their plan. I'm sure it sounds surely predicatble but that something this film lacks in troves. It's completely original, completely new and just great. The performances by Ron Pearlman, John Hurt and Selma Blair are completely involving. The story is well developed, emotional, scary and funny. The direction is taut and well developed. Definatly Del Toro's reigning masterpiece. I must say I was overly impressed by this film probably because I wasn't expecting too much but I can guarantee you one thing I will be going to see it again. Hellboy is amazing!
