Corrected entry: During the Kappa fight scene, the Kappa tries to steal the Sword of Storms from Hellboy. Hellboy grabs the sword by the blade and yanks it back, implying the blade must be quite dull, or else it would easilly cut his hand very deeply. However, later in the film, it is shown the sword is in fact quite sharp, able to sever the limbs of a giant Oni-like demon, thus meaning Hellboy should not have been able to grab it unprotected with his bare hand as he did earlier.

Directed by: Tad Stones, Phil Weinstein
Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Peri Gilpin
Genres: Action, Adventure, Animated, Fantasy, Horror, Sci-fi
Deliberate mistake: When Hellboy is attacked by the spider-lady, as the spiders begin to descend on him to steal the sword, you can easily tell that some of the shots of the spiders coming down are repeated 2 or even 3 times, and simply flopped horizontally to appear different.
Trivia: The concept of "Sword of Storms" having to do with Japanese mythology is actually based off an early concept Guillermo Del Toro had for the live-action "Hellboy" movie sequel. However, after plans changed and the idea was dropped, Mike Mignola (creator of the comics) and Tad Stones (co-director of the animated Hellboy features) decided this would be perfect for an animated feature. And so "Sword of Storms" was born.

Correction: He actually grabs it with his stone hand, not his flesh-hand, so it makes sense the damage is minimal.
