Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth

Deliberate mistake: As Joey is running down the street and having things blow up all around her, you can see other people walking on the sidewalk not reacting to the destruction around them, even when something blows up just a few feet from them.

Deliberate mistake: Joey finds Channard's photo of Capt. Elliot Spencer in the closed art gallery but Kirsty stole that photo and gave it to Pinhead in the second film, where it was left on the floor of Hell. Also, all the sketches of the box were amongst the things from Channard's institute but those pictures and the other similar ones were from Dr. Channard's home collection. They were never kept at the institute.

Suggested correction: It was actually in a room in the institute. Not hell. Easy enough to retrieve it.

Deliberate mistake: When Joey is watching the tape of Kirsty Cotton, right as the scene ends, the TV screen cuts to static. However, when we see the final shot of Joey, we can see the TV screen reflected in her glasses, and it's not showing static, but rather a picture of Elliot Spencer. It seems to be a shot taken from earlier in the scene that they laid in at the end.

Deliberate mistake: The film was supposed to be taking place in New York City yet you only see NYC twice when Joey is riding the city bus and another view of the Twin Towers during another scene. Yet is obvious she is not in New York City after running from the Boiler Room and being chased by the Centobites. Even the police cars and uniforms are not NYPD they say Summit Police. Also, if that kind of destruction was going on there would be several more than only two cruisers and three cops.

Continuity mistake: When Pinhead is just about to start killing everyone in The Boiler Room nightclub, a man catches the first hooked chain that Pinhead unleashes. Yet when you look closely as you see the man holding the chain there is no hook, but a piece of wire.

Trivia: The original draft of the script was reportedly much bleaker in tone. It didn't have the pseudo-cenobites such as "Barbie" and "CD Head," and the ending of the film involved Joey willingly becoming Pinhead's "bride" in exchange for fortune and success.

Question: When Pinhead kills JP Monroe, what is the device that is affixed to Monroe's head that is also part of his Cenobite form?

Phaneron

Chosen answer: It's a piston. 2 piston rods are jammed through his head and they move powered by something unknown. You can see the crank shaft and part of some sort of cylinder. A piston is part of an internal combustion engine. It's part of his cenobite form since he liked cars.
