Corrected entry: While in the tunnels under the cemetery in Moscow, walls rise up from the floor blocking the parties' exit. Shortly after that, rows of blades swing out perpendicular to the walls. The blades can be seen vibrating as if they were made of rubber.

Hellboy (2004)
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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 (2004)
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.

Hellboy (2004)
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.

Hellboy (2004)
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.

Correction: The blades have some mechanism that allows them to extend or retract. It is this aged and imperfect mechanism that is causing them to bounce a little as they settle into the new positions, not because they're made of rubber.
