Deliberate "mistake": Every time someone gets skewered through with a blade in this film there's never any blood on the blade afterward.

Continuity: When Kronen cuts open the statue in the museum, he in only holding one of his swords. The guards come rushing in and Ilsa says, "get them." Kronen turns and is now holding both of his swords.

Continuity: When Liz goes to tell Hellboy that she is going out with Myers, her arms change from at her stomach and shoulder to at her sides between a shot from behind and the next front shot.

Continuity: After Liz arrives at BPRD, Myers gives Hellboy chili and tells him that nachos are on the way. A dark cat is walking up to Hellboy's left side on the bed. In the next shot, the cat in that place is black-and-white and facing away from the camera.

Revealing: When Professor Broom's coffin is being carried, it is raining, and the camera is overhead, no rain falls in the centre of the picture, as the camera is in the way.

Continuity: In the scene in the subway station when Hellboy is fighting Sammael, he grabs the monster by the tongue and swings him through a large window. Sammael jumps down and is hanging in the subway tunnel, but can't get away because HB still has a hold of his tongue. The train hits and kills Sammael. But when the shot goes back to Hellboy, the tongue, which should still be attached to his hand, is gone. He's holding his hand out as if it's still there, but I guess they forgot to add it later in CGI.

Continuity: In the final scene between Hellboy and Liz, when he is telling her what he said to bring back her soul, the shots change several times between one of her face, and the back of Hellboy's head, and vice versa. Every time we see Liz's face, she is looking up into Hellboy's face, but when we see the back of her head on the interspersed shots, her head is not inclined upwards at all.

Continuity: When Hellboy punches the car in the street, watch closely: he knocks the bumper off, it moves in the direction of the car, yet it never hits the ground.

Continuity: In the chapel at the end, Ilsa punches Myers and looks down to her right at him. Next shot is over Hellboy's shoulder, and she's still looking down in the background. Cut back to her for several lines and she's looking up and to her left.

Continuity: When Rasputin is talking to the professor about the evil in him, his hand ripples. From the front, his small finger is mostly straight, but in the shot behind, it's mostly flexed. Cut back and it's straight again.

Revealing: When Sammael throws Hellboy at the subway station into the upper level, slow-mo reveals the wires pulling on Hellboy's jacket at the shoulders. (The use of slow motion IS permitted when it reveals things such as crew or equipment in shot.)

Continuity: In the beginning, when you first see grown-up Hellboy, you can see his legs, and like the comic, the calves are skinny and he has hoofs rather than feet. Yet in every other scene his calves are much bulkier (big enough to fill his pants) and he has human feet which he wears large boots on.

Revealing: When Hellboy is filing down his horns with the small razor/sander contraption, you can tell the small sparks coming off are not coming from the contact of his horns and the sander, but rather are coming right out of the sander, revealing it is a prop.
