    • Trivia
      Doug Jones' (Abe Sapien's) voice was dubbed by David Hyde Pierce, but Pierce refused a credit because he felt that Abe was entirely Doug's creation, and did not wish to detract from his performance.
    • Goofs
      On the Bridge scene under the graveyard, Tom Manning is thrown and slides under the door just before it closes. However Hellboy also slides under later in the scene when the door should have already been closed.
    • Quotes

      John Myers: My uncle used to say that we like people for their qualities but we love them for their defects.

    Good
    I've been slowly making my way through Guillermo del Toro's catalogue of movies and this is my first time watching Hell Boy. If you're a Del Toro fan, then this one won't disappoint. He's such a superior director - he adds artistry to this action film through his use of shot making, pacing and colour. At times, the dialogue attempts to be a bit too cute and the love story adds little to the plot, but overall, it's a fun movie that doesn't try to overextend itself.
