Hellbound: Hellraiser II

Plot hole: The mover shouldn't have been pulled into the mattress because he didn't bleed onto it, which is what was required before, for Julia to come back.

Suggested correction: Something entirely else is happening at the end of the film, as evidenced by the fact the Pillar of Souls then rises from it... something which has never happened before. Therefore, the standard rules don't necessarily apply. Additionally, even if you want to argue that they do, the mattress is still totally covered in blood from earlier, when the mentally ill man cut himself on it... so one could argue that there was enough blood on it still for something to cross through.

Revealing mistake: When Julia first emerges from the mattress and is scrabbling on the floor, you can see the body double is actually wearing a thong. (00:30:35)

Suggested correction: That's actually just groin/buttocks muscle and tissue. If you compare it to medical images, while some features are exaggerated, it matches up reasonably well. The fat/muscle/tissue does almost form a thong-like shape in that area. Furthermore, what purpose would there be to having the actress wear a thong when she's already covered in head-to-toe prosthetics that hide everything? That makes no sense.

Plot hole: When the policeman asks Kirsty at the beginning who came when she solved the box she says the Cenobites; she had no way of knowing what they were called. Frank only told Julia; Kirsty didn't hear it anywhere and the Cenobites themselves didn't tell her either.

Trivia: If you pay attention, the Cenobite "Chatterer" first appears eyeless, then has eyes later in the film. This is because the actor underneath the makeup (Nicholas Vince) hated performing blind and requested the makeup be redesigned to give the character eyes. A scene was filmed that showed Pinhead giving Chatterer eyes as a sort-of gift, but the scene was cut, leading to the continuity error.

Question: I haven't been able to find a proper answer elsewhere, so I figured I'd give it a go here: The Arrow Video Blu-Ray version of "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" is getting a re-release in the US soon. (It's the same disc from the 2013/2014-era "Scarlet Box" Blu-Ray set.) Does anyone know if the version of the film on that particular release is the unrated cut? Amazon only says "Rated R" in the description... but at the same time, Amazon also isn't always super-reliable with its information. I'm very interested in picking up the disc since I don't own the film on Blu-Ray, but only want to buy it if it includes the proper unrated cut.

Answer: I jumped the gun and bought it, so I'll answer my own question. Yes, it does have the uncut, unrated version of the film. For some reason, the packaging says "Rated R," but it's definitely the uncut version.
