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 ...
Continuity mistake: When Hellboy is walking at one point, holding his gun up in his left, gloved hand (just after one of the agents has said "This place is like swiss cheese"), watch the frame. It switches suddenly so his right hand (the stone one) is his left, and he's holding the gun in his "right." (00:59:40)
Trivia: The soundtrack for this film includes a very unusual instrument: a precision-played theremin. The theremin was traditionally used to create spooky sound effects, but it this film it's actually used for playing melody, which requires exceptional playing skill. It's most heard in the scene where the portal closes and Rasputin dies.
