Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms

Continuity mistake: After Hellboy defeats the semi-vampiric heads, the Professor is seen destroying a small statue on his scroll representing them. Despite being destroyed, this statue reappears later in the movie.

Continuity mistake: During the Kappa battle scene, when the Kappa is thrown to land and some water spills from his head, there is a closeup shot that shows the spilled water becoming dark and discolored and then disappearing. However, in the next shot the water has reappeared, and is back to its original pale color.

Continuity mistake: When the Spider-lady is playing her koto, the number of strings on the koto changes between some shots. In the closeup shots of her plucking the strings, you can see that there is only six or seven strings. However, in some of the wider shots, you can see that there are at least 8-10 strings on the koto. This is most noticeable after the strings start to "bleed."

Trivia: The concept of "Sword of Storms" having to do with Japanese mythology is actually based off an early concept Guillermo Del Toro had for the live-action "Hellboy" movie sequel. However, after plans changed and the idea was dropped, Mike Mignola (creator of the comics) and Tad Stones (co-director of the animated Hellboy features) decided this would be perfect for an animated feature. And so "Sword of Storms" was born.
