Trivia: The film as originally intended was longer and more violent, had a non-linear narrative and a much darker ending. The studio forced director Tim Pope to re-edit the film to follow a structure more akin to the first film in order to capitalize on its success and also made him delete a number of key scenes. This lead to he and writer David Goyer disowning the film. The original workprint of the film that represented Pope and Goyer's vision was well over two hours long, as compared to the theatrical cut's anemic 84 minute run-time.
Trivia: There was originally a scene explaining that the villain Judah fell through the ice of a frozen river and drowned as a child, and his soul was sent to hell. He was revived by paramedics and came back to life, and became obsessed with the occult after having liked what he saw while in hell. (This also explains his line about how he has "already been there" and "liked what [he] saw" during the final battle when Ashe tells him to "go to hell.").
Trivia: Just an odd little comparison: Richard Brooks plays the villain - a sadistic, mentally unhinged character named "Judah Earl." Six years later, he'd also play a sadistic, mentally unhinged villain in the series "Firefly" with the incredibly similar name "Jubal Early."
Trivia: In one early draft of the script, Judah would use his newly-found powers in the end to resurrect the villains Top-Dollar and Grage from the original film to use as henchmen. This idea was subsequently dropped.
Chosen answer: Because the whole coming back from the dead experience is strange, mysterious and scary for him. He had no idea who or what called him back. Is he the only one or was there a whole world of supernatural creatures.
