Storyline

In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil. Written by Brian Barjenbruch

Goofs

Anachronisms: When young Broom is offering Sgt. Whitman a rosary, Whitman pulls out his pistol with his left hand and offers it to Broom. The gun is a government issue M1911, but has the ejection port on the left side, and the slide stop lever on the right. The ejection port should be on the right, to direct flying brass away from right-handed shooters, and the slide stop lever should be on the left, so it can be operated by the right thumb. Left-handed versions of this gun are rare and expensive, and were not available in 1944. See more »
