Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Serena approaches the man to buy the puzzlebox. He pulls the cigarette out of his mouth and exhales smoke, which mostly dissipates. The scene then cuts to the opposite angle, and suddenly, more smoke appears in the air between edits.

Trivia: One of the major issues that stalled this reboot and kept it from being made earlier was that executives at Miramax, who owned the rights at the time, wanted to tone the franchise down and make the movie PG-13 so it could appeal to teenagers. None of the writers or directors attached wanted to make a PG-13 "Hellraiser," and many exited the project over this bizarre and insane mandate. Once Clive Barker got the rights back, production moved forward on this (very) R-rated installment.

Audio problem: When Trevor is explaining to Riley how he wants to rob the storage unit, at one point there's an over-the-shoulder shot where he says "Totally anonymous... nobody's ever seen any one in there... but, like the shit..." If you look closely, you can tell Trevor is saying something completely different. True, his mouth isn't on-screen the whole time, but his jaw movements and his mouth movements don't match the words at all when they are visible, revealing they altered the dialogue in post.

Question: What is the book Colin is reading Matt when they are in bed together?

Continuity mistake: When Riley and Trevor are "play fighting" in Trevor's apartment at the beginning of the film (right before Trevor explains his plan to rob the storage unit), a cigarette suddenly appears in Trevor's hand between cuts. (His hand was empty in the previous two shots and he had made motions indicating he had put the cigarette down on the table before that).

Continuity mistake: When Riley and Trevor are talking in Trevor's apartment at the beginning of the movie, Riley lights up a cigarette that they share. It can be hard to notice, but the amount of cigarette that is burned up and the amount of smoke in the air subtly changes instantly between shots a few times over the 30-or-so seconds the cigarette is on screen. (Since the scene would be shot over multiple takes and angles, it'd be impossible for it to 100% match every time).

Continuity mistake: When Joey is talking to Voight about the puzzle box and Voight tells him to "Keep going," pay attention. It's kind of hard to notice, but if you look closely, in the over-the-shoulder shot facing Joey, you can tell that Voight is standing straight, facing Joey before it cuts. When it cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly Voight's body has rotated about 90° (to his right).

Trivia: At Voight's estate, Trevor asks Nora "What's your pleasure, ma'am?" when offering to make her a drink. This is a subtle callback to the original film, where the nameless merchant asks "What's your pleasure, Mr. Cotton?" and later "What's your pleasure, sir?" when selling the box.

Trivia: This reboot has been in some form of production since 2007, but kept getting tied up due to rights issues and a revolving door of writers and directors who would enter and then leave production. It is finally coming out in 2022... 15 years after it was announced.

Trivia: The first "Hellraiser" to have the direct credited involvement from franchise creator Clive Barker since "Hellraiser: Bloodline" in 1996. (Barker reportedly gave some minor notes on the sixth film, "Hellseeker," during editing, but was uncredited and uninvolved otherwise.) Director David Bruckner said Barker was heavily involved and provided feedback, suggestions, artwork and references throughout production, and would help the team bounce ideas around for the story and characters.

Trivia: The first film in the franchise to feature a female "Pinhead," as portrayed by actress Jamie Clayton, a trans-woman. Despite some minor backlash online, original Pinhead actor Doug Bradley has spoken out in support of Clayton, noting that the franchise has always been transgressive and unique, and that he loved her performance on the show "Sense8." It should also be noted that the Cenobites in the original book were mostly androgenous, though "Pinhead" was said to have a feminine voice.
