Trivia: Director John Landis had issues with the script, but felt he and Eddie Murphy could make it work through comedy. However, Landis was shocked to learn that Murphy wanted to play Axel much straighter-edge, reasoning that he was older and less risky and rambunctious. Thus, Murphy would side step around comedic bits rather than play them up. Landis has said that Murphy was very professional and that he likes parts of the movie, but sees it as an "odd film" since it just wasn't very funny.

Trivia: Alan Tudyk had pitched an idea for an episode where his character Wash, who was essentially the comic relief, would be revealed to be covered in prison tattoos, implying him to be quite a badass warrior. But it would then humorously later be explained that he actually accidentally got imprisoned due to his own mistake, and had a good time there, where he would entertain other inmates by telling stories with shadow-puppets. And he just got the tattoos on a lark while imprisoned.

Trivia: Robert Eggers often had co-star Ralph Ineson direct child actor Harvey Scrimshaw during filming. Eggers has no children of his own, and wasn't sure how to communicate with the young actor. So Eggers would describe the scene, and Ineson, a father with two children, would then reinterpret his direction in a way Scrimshaw could understand. (Often by relating it to sports, since Scrimshaw is a huge soccer fan, and literally "coaching" him like a soccer coach).

Trivia: It's shown that there is mold growing on the family's corn. If you look close, the mold is a specific type called ergot. Ergot poisoning can cause severe symptoms including hallucinations, irrational behavior and death. Director Robert Eggers has said this was a purposeful choice, as he left clues for different possible interpretations of the film. If audiences want to believe the supernatural elements, they can. Alternately, they could chalk it up to ergot poisoning driving the family insane.

Trivia: While Christine is a Plymouth Fury, many of the cars used on the production weren't. Many of them were similar-looking cars that were simply made up to resemble a Fury. Only a few actual Plymouth Fury's were used. (Mostly for glory-shots, closeups, etc).

TedStixon

Trivia: Only three known "Christine" cars still exist, and only one of them is a proper Plymouth Fury. The lone Fury currently resides at the Rochester Auto Museum in Upstate, New York. It is valued as high as $500,000 due to its notoriety.

Revealing mistake: When the flaming "general" spider is killed, there's several mistakes. When it leaps, it suddenly "freezes" in mid-air for a second before the nail hits it. Then, when we see the nail hit it, you can see a wire attached to it, plain as day, to yank it back. Then, when it hits the egg-sack, you can see several fake spiders attached to it, which don't move at all. Then the egg sack catches on fire, but the flames come from behind the sack, even though the general hit the front.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Serena approaches the man to buy the puzzlebox. He pulls the cigarette out of his mouth and exhales smoke, which mostly dissipates. The scene then cuts to the opposite angle, and suddenly, more smoke appears in the air between edits.

Trivia: One of the major issues that stalled this reboot and kept it from being made earlier was that executives at Miramax, who owned the rights at the time, wanted to tone the franchise down and make the movie PG-13 so it could appeal to teenagers. None of the writers or directors attached wanted to make a PG-13 "Hellraiser," and many exited the project over this bizarre and insane mandate. Once Clive Barker got the rights back, production moved forward on this (very) R-rated installment.

Continuity mistake: When Kirsty goes into the storage room (where the corpse spews maggots onto her), she has a large bloodstain on her face. Inside, she sweats most of the blood off her face, leaving only a slightly discolored red stain. But then, when she exits the room, suddenly a lot of the blood has re-appeared on her face. I'm assuming they filmed her entering and exiting the door at one time, and her inside the room another time, causing the inconsistency.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning when the mom discovers the dead body of her dog, she walks in front of an outdoor playhouse in a wideshot. It then cuts to a medium shot of her screaming. Between shots, she is suddenly standing in a different spot entirely... she goes from standing in front of the corner of the playhouse, to being dead center in front of it. She also seems to be several feet closer to it.

Continuity mistake: During the dinner scene in the beginning, when Ginger says "Maybe it's cancer of the spine!" her hand (which was down on the table) is suddenly up by her face instantly between cuts.

Visible crew/equipment: When Jason approaches Ginger and Brigitte and suggests they should "get together," you can subtly and briefly see the shadow of the camera on the back of his head. When it cuts to the opposite angle, there's nothing else behind him that could be casting the shadow. (It happens very quick and can be hard to catch).

Continuity mistake: When Brigitte is pushed into the dead dog on the track field, she starts to wretch and puts her hand up by her mouth. Ginger comes over and asks if she's OK. Instantly between cuts, Brigitte's hand goes from up by her mouth to down by her side.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are smoking in the school field in the beginning, when Brigitte refers to Trina as "Your standard c***-buckety date-bait, " Ginger's hand (holding the cigarette) goes from down by her side to up right next to her face instantly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are smoking in the school field in the beginning and notice Jason checking Ginger out, they turn around. Ginger hand (holding the cigarette) goes from up near her chest to down by her waist instantly between cuts as they turn around. Between the same cut, Brigitte's hand also goes from exposed to covered by her sleeve.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the classroom at the beginning, when Jason asks "Can we see the ones with Ginger again?", watch closely. His hand instantly raises between cuts. Additionally, the girl behind him goes from having her arms down, to having one up under her chin, to back down again between cuts.

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are taking a photo of Ginger "impaled" on the fence right before the opening credits, the amount of blood on the fence instantly changes between cuts after Brigitte says "Too much blood and I can see your gonch!" (Suddenly, much more blood appears on the fence posts on the right side of screen).

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are talking about their suicide pact in the first scene, Ginger puts her hand out and says "Out by sixteen or dead on the scene " When she first reaches her hand out, it's flat with her palm facing up and her fingers pointed out. It then cuts to the opposite angle, instantly she is holding her hand with her palm facing out and her fingers pointed up.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, from the moment the little boy wipes the blood on his face to the last time we see him (when the mom is crying about how "It got our dog!"), the amount of blood on his face changes at least twice. Sometimes there is more or less depending on the shot.
