Trivia: The BPRD complex was (according to Del Toro) was originally FDR's secret emergency bunker. The library where Professor Broom dies was the president's office and Hellboy's room (with the big vault door) was his fallout shelter, just in case Germany perfected the A-bomb first.

Trivia: Director Guillermo Del Toro didn't want to show a lot of blood during fight scenes, so he came up with ways of alluding to it. When Hellboy is fighting Sammael in the subway and he grabs the pay phone off the wall and uses it as a weapon, we see coins flying every time he hits Sammael with it. The coins represent the splatter of blood without actually showing it.

Continuity mistake: After Hellboy falls on the dumpster and sees Rasputin walking toward him, there is a smear of blood on HB's lower lip. It cuts away for a second to show him pick up his gun, and when you see Hellboy again, the blood is gone.

Continuity mistake: When Kronen cuts open the statue in the museum, he in only holding one of his swords. The guards come rushing in and Ilsa says, "get them." Kronen turns and is now holding both of his swords.

Trivia: When Professor Broom is leading Myer to meet Hellboy, they stop at a display area where Broom points out the Spear of Longinus. In a jar near the spearhead is what looks like a fetus preserved in amber liquid. This is actually a prop from Guillermo Del Toro's movie, "The Devil's Backbone." If you look carefully, you can also see the scarab prop from his movie "Kronos."
