Trivia
Tony Randel was attached to direct, but the producers removed him after they became worried that his vision for the film was to bleak. Anthony Hickox replaced him after a mutual friend whom Hickcox had cast in Waxwork II: Lost In Time (1992) suggested him,Clive Barker who disliked Hicox's prior work believed him a poor fit for the Hellraiser series,as Hickcox was known for horror comedy films.when Hickcox met with him,Barker stressed that he expected Hickcox to take the material seriously. Hickcox a fan of the series agreed and used the first two films as a guide for the proper tone. See more »Goofs
When Terri tries to leave the hospital, Joey stops her and asks her about the boy with the chains attached to him. Terri is standing right in front of a pair of double doors while she is speaking. Joey is then distracted and hurries back to the room with the injured boy, and in the background we see Terri hesitate for a second, before starting to back up and go slightly through the double doors. But when the camera then does a close up on Terri, she is still standing hesitating in front of the doors and is a little further forward than she was before. She then backs up and exits through the doors again. See more »Quotes

Alternate Versions
Some rare bootleg versions are said to contain much more graphic violence during the gruesome slaughter at The Boiler Room. There is also extra dialogue and a flashback from several years earlier in which we see Elliot purchase the Lament Configuration at an Indian bazaar. See more »Soundtracks

I have yet to see Bloodline or Inferno, but Hell on Earth is the worst of the first three Hellraiser movies. It lacks both the wit and the sheer terror of the first two films. What's more, it breaks the rules established in the previous Hellraiser films (that is, Cenobites cannot harm the truly innocent, the Cenobites can be summoned or banished by the box, and so on). And while Pinhead actually spoke very little in the first two films, in Hell on Earth he is downright talky. Unfortunately, only a few of his lines are very memorable. It is unfortunate that Clive Barker did not have more to do with this movie (he wrote and directed the first and wrote the story for the second), as it might have turned out much better.
