    • 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.

    Great Film- Possible Tent Pole

    Hell Boy is a near classic of great proportion as played by the underrated Ron Perlman(Beauty and the Beast ) Perlman is an actor you probabley wouldn't recognize as he has had to wear so much facial make up in his career but he imbues 'Hell Boy' with a real humanity and a scathing wit ."How am I ever gonna get a girl when I drive around in a garbage truck ? " John Hurt as his father has little to do but that he loves Hell Boy there is no doubt having rescued him on the night he came from hell . Dr. Broom adopts the boy and they live at the Center For Paranormal Studies in New Jersey with a fish like creature and a fire starter girl who Hell Boy loves to pieces . I hope that this becomes a tent pole series for the studio as I would like to see Hell Boy in other situations . Five of 5 stars for 'Hell Boy'
