Factual error: During the storage unit robbery in the beginning of the film, simply knocking the combination dial off the safe would not have caused the bolts to suddenly retract. It would defeat the entire purpose of having a combination lock. Even inexpensive safes have mechanisms to prevent this from happening.
Hellraiser (2022)
1 factual error
Directed by: David Bruckner
Starring: Goran Visnjic, Jamie Clayton, Odessa A'zion
Continuity mistake: When Riley and Trevor are talking in Trevor's apartment at the beginning of the movie, Riley lights up a cigarette that they share. It can be hard to notice, but the amount of cigarette that is burned up and the amount of smoke in the air subtly changes instantly between shots a few times over the 30-or-so seconds the cigarette is on screen. (Since the scene would be shot over multiple takes and angles, it'd be impossible for it to 100% match every time).
Riley: What are you?
The Priest: Explorers in the further regions of experience. Of sensation's rim. Our gifts are boundless.
Riley: I don't want them.
The Priest: Yes, you do.
Trivia: The first "Hellraiser" to have the direct credited involvement from franchise creator Clive Barker since "Hellraiser: Bloodline" in 1996. (Barker reportedly gave some minor notes on the sixth film, "Hellseeker," during editing, but was uncredited and uninvolved otherwise.) Director David Bruckner said Barker was heavily involved and provided feedback, suggestions, artwork and references throughout production, and would help the team bounce ideas around for the story and characters.
