Hellboy is a fantastic first outing for the demon-turned-hero and his team of an empathic fish-man and a disturbed pyrokinetic as they face Nazis, Rasputin, a psychopathic undead super-soldier, various monsters, and others in this battle of good vs evil by Guillermo del Toro. Great action, comedy, SFX and the rest make this a welcome addition to viewing, so enjoy.
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.
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.

Answer: The internal machinery that powers him is clockwork. It needs to be wound like a watch every so often. He releases most of the tension when he fakes his death.
