Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996)

Revealing mistake: When Le Merchant is offended by his wife's comments and puts the Lament Box into the travel chest, a section of the gold veneer on it has bent upwards.

Continuity mistake: As Angelique says to Pinhead "Things seem to have changed" she is standing in front of him. Then as Pinhead responds "Hell is more ordered." she is now standing closer and to his side.

Factual error: A vinyl knife is present among other tools of torture during the 1700's sequence, but vinyl flooring did not come into the commercial market until the mid twentieth century.

Trivia: Though promotional photos of Victorian dressed Cenobites wearing white powdered wigs were released in various sci-fi magazines to promote this film, the Victorian Cenobites were never shown once the movie was released.

Trivia: The last "Hellraiser" movie to get a theatrical release.

Trivia: The film was originally directed by Kevin Yagher. However, after filming was initially completed, Miramax demanded reshoots to restructure the film, give it a happier ending, introduce Pinhead earlier and alter the storyline to make it more mainstream. Yagher strongly disagreed with these changes and walked away from production. An uncredited Joe Chappelle stepped in to direct the reshoots, and the film was ultimately credited to "Alan Smithee," as Yagher felt the finished film strayed too far from his original vision.

John Merchant: For God's sake.
Pinhead: Do I look like someone who cares what God thinks?

Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly. You are so very like your ancestor, did you know that? I have the distinct sense of déjà vu. The same defiance, the same faithless hope in the light.
Dr. Paul Merchant: And what do you have faith in?
Pinhead: Nothing. I am SO exquisitely empty.

Angelique: Things seem to have changed.
Pinhead: Hell is more ordered since your time, princess, and much less amusing.

Question: Why does Pinhead kill John Merchant? Obviously he's angry that Merchant tried to activate the new Elysium Configuration to suit Angelique's desires, but he did so under duress, and as far as Pinhead knows, Merchant is the only one that can keep the portal between Earth and Hell permanently open. Was Pinhead just hoping that Merchant's son would one day continue his father's work and he could force him to complete the configuration?
