Hellboy's oversized "Samaritan" revolver is shown to only hold 4 rounds. Yet he fires at least 6 without stopping to reload during his fight with the first Sammael creature in the museum. See more...
The BPRD complex was (according to Del Toro) was originally FDR's secret emergency bunker. The library where Professor Broom dies was the president's office and Hellboy's room (with the big vault door) was his fallout shelter, just in case Germany perfected the A-bomb first. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In the scene where the two security guards fall from the balcony, when the scene cuts to them hitting the floor, you can see the yellow crash mat they land on. [I watched this on DVD and there is no shot where you can see the crash mat. The shot where they hit the ground only shows them falling and bouncing a little, it's framed too high to show the actual floor.]
Hellboy asks, "How big can it be?" then a huge tentacle grabs him and whips him down a tunnel. As he's being reeled in he hits a lot of colored lamp shades in the tunnel roof, shattering them. He beats the beast and returns to his friends in the tunnel. As they talk, you can see all the lampshades are undamaged in the background. [Since the tentacle grabbed Hellboy literally right in front of Myers, Myers reasoned that it wasn't very safe to stay there. He picked up Liz while Hellboy was fighting the demon and carried her farther away, but not so far that Hellboy couldn't find them again with a little looking. There are lampshades all along the passage in both directions.]
When the clockwork soldier has his key removed from his chest he immediately falls to the ground and is dead. Later, when at Hellboy's secret headquarters, the clockwork soldier gets up, walks over to the table where his key is, picks it up and puts it in his chest and winds it up. The clockwork soldier shouldn't have been able to do this at all since he needs the key attached to his body to survive and give him movement. [Kroenen voluntarily falls to the ground and releases some of the energy stored in the key's mechanism before he is captured. The key is not removed until Broom does an autopsy. Kroenen doesn't need the key for basic movements, and only winds himself when he needs to move with speed and strength in combat. He purposefully allowed himself to be captured so he could transfer the note to BPRD, then rose when he was no longer being observed to reassemble his mechanical parts.]
When fighting the first Sammael creature in the museum, the creature grabs Hellboy's gun out of his hand and throws him out of the window. Just after he lands he sees Rasputin and immediately pulls the gun from his holster. [The creature grabs the gun but Hellboy never lets go. You can see the gun in his hand after he is thrown and is smashing through the display cases and see him drop it when he strikes the ground in the alley. When he sees Rasputin, he picks up the gun off the ground.]
When Hellboy and team go down into the tunnels under the cemetery, they come to a bridge. The ceiling is now hundreds of feet above them with a giant hammer swinging from it breaking the bridge. There is no way they went that deep that fast. [We do not know really how long they were travelling. A little time may have elapsed.]
When Abraham Sapien examines the Sammael egg, you can see that the "live video feed" of the microscope is, in fact, a pre-recorded video. The rewind, play, & fast-forward buttons can be seen near the bottom left corner of the screen. [The enhanced picture of the egg is actually being presented on a computer screen and the image was recorded from the microscope.(Just watch the very next scene where Abe is explaining Sammael).]
When Hellboy punches the vehicle to save Myers, he knocks the hood off. When the vehicle lands, the hood is still attached. [No he knocks the front bumper off and creates a huge dent in the front end of the car but the hood stays on the entire time.]
At the intro where you see the SS nazis, it says at the bottom of the screen "Scotland, 1944". It is impossible there are nazis preparing something calmly without none of the Allies knowing it & especially in the United Kingdom since no nazis ever crossed the English territory except in the air during the Battle of Britain event. It is also strategically nonsense since you could do this in a forest in Denmark or Norway (Nazi occupied) for example. [The specific location is very important - the professor explains that it lies at the intersection of several mystic leylines of energy, therefore this operation can only be performed in this location. Because this operation was intended to be the killing blow for Britain, the Germans attempted to shield it from detection with all the efforts of Germany's prodigious resources - even then, some intimation of their intentions escapes, as the Allied troops are there to combat them. Moreover, we see later that there is an impressive coverup operation in place to protect Hellboy from public knowledge - surely this would prevent history books from documenting an event that both sides wanted to keep secret.]
Before Hellboy enters the museum to fight Sammael, someone mentions that there are six dead guards. Hellboy repeats that count as he examines the guards' messy remains. But when Abe Sapien and Professor Broom flash back to the combat scene, we see Rasputin kill seven guards: five on floor level and two from the upper level. [I think that when the person mentioned six, they didn't know about the one Sammael was currently eating.]
During the subway scene, Hellboy is knocked off a subway train, and the bottom of the train keeps hitting his filed horns. Once he gets up his horns are burning from the friction. Hellboy touches them and says, "Ow," And quickly moves his hand away. Later on in that scene he says he's fireproof. How would he get hurt from the burning horns? [Hellboy says he's fireproof (can't catch on fire), it doesn't mean he can't feel heat.]
Hellboy's left "rock" hand switches to his right when he re-unites with FBI Agent Tom Manning underground. [His right hand is the rock one. The left one is the normal hand.]
In the intro, it would make better sense if the filmmaker chose the British commandos or SAS instead of American soldiers from the regular army (2nd Infantry Division) "Indian-head seal" to do a secret operation in the United Kingdom territory. [The filmmaker didn't choose the US Army, the comic story did. It wouldn't make sense if the British or UK Special Forces found them and then Hellboy ended up in the American FBI. No reason it wouldn't be the US anyway, everyone did special ops during the war, the US Army was just as likely a choice as any armed force from any country.]
