Factual error: When Professor Broom puts the old pieces of paper together, the text translates to "Graveyard 16", not "Sebastian Plackba 16".

Hellboy (2004)
Plot summary
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: John Hurt, Ron Perlman, Jeffrey Tambor, Selma Blair
In 1945, the Nazis use occult means to summon forth a demon, intended to be used to beat back the Allied armies. Rescued from their clutches, the demon child grows up into a force for good, and becomes the world's greatest paranormal detective. His name?? Hellboy ...
Trivia: The BPRD complex was (according to Del Toro) was originally FDR's secret emergency bunker. The library where Professor Broom dies was the president's office and Hellboy's room (with the big vault door) was his fallout shelter, just in case Germany perfected the A-bomb first.
Question: Why does Kroenen turn that key on his body? I thought it would be to help increase his speed but, he is very fast without turning it.
