Continuity mistake: When the Captain is stitching his facial wound, the camera pans down to Ofelia hiding by his table, revealing that there is no blood on the Captain's clothing. Seconds later, the Captain approaches the table wearing bloodstained clothing (from the earlier scene with Mercedes). (01:38:20 - 01:39:05)

Trivia

Trivia: Director Guillermo del Toro originally had the fairies from this film designed for a short sequence in his film Hellboy. Modified versions of the fairies are still visible in the Director's Cut DVD, where they can be seen pickled in a jar, though they appear somewhat different. Del Toro later used the exact same fairies from Pan's Labyrinth in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, during the Troll Market scene.

Questions

Question: Could Ofelia's second task possibly have been to kill the Pale Man? Because after she retrieved the dagger the faeries flew towards the Pale Man before Ofelia picked the grape.

Answer: I saw nothing in the movie indicating that. Ofelia's task seemed to be to retrieve the blade, she failed because she didn't follow Pan's instructions about not touching the food.
