Continuity mistake: In the first Hellboy movie, when they first show the BPRD headquarters, it reads "Newark, New Jersey". In Hellboy II, they show what is clearly the same highly distinctive building, but it now reads "Trenton, New Jersey".

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Ron Perlman, Jeffrey Tambor, Selma Blair, Luke Goss, Doug Jones, John Alexander
Princess Nuala kills herself so that her brother, Prince Nuada, dies (since they are linked) before he can take the crown again after Hellboy defeats him. Before dying, the prince tells Hellboy (Ron Perlman) that he must choose to live either as a human or as a demon. Abe (Doug Jones) tells the princess, before she dies, how he feels about her. Liz (Selma Blair) melts the crown that controls the Golden Army and the army is destroyed. Hellboy, Liz, Abe and Johann Krauss quit from the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. Liz tells Hellboy that she's pregnant with two babies and not one...

Hellboy: Can't.Smile...Without you.
Abe Sapien: I like this song, you know.
Hellboy: Yep I'm gonna need a beer too.
Trivia: During the auction scene, there's a man with a dog on his lap. This man is Santiago Segura, a Spanish actor. He was the underground train driver in the first film (the one who knocked HB down the train with a fire extinguisher).





Chosen answer: Why not wear it? It's clearly something that's useful to him, even if it's apparently not particularly essential. It may simply just make him more comfortable, like a human wearing a scarf in cold weather - allowing him to breathe the water that he prefers rather than air. There's never any mention that Abe can only survive for a limited time out of the water; equally, there's no suggestion that he's particularly vulnerable to atmospheric microbes. It's part of his equipment that he uses when he wishes to, that's all.
