Revealing mistake: When Julia first emerges from the mattress and is scrabbling on the floor, you can see the body double is actually wearing a thong. (00:30:35)

Suggested correction: That's actually just groin/buttocks muscle and tissue. If you compare it to medical images, while some features are exaggerated, it matches up reasonably well. The fat/muscle/tissue does almost form a thong-like shape in that area. Furthermore, what purpose would there be to having the actress wear a thong when she's already covered in head-to-toe prosthetics that hide everything? That makes no sense.

Plot hole: The mover shouldn't have been pulled into the mattress because he didn't bleed onto it, which is what was required before, for Julia to come back.

Suggested correction: Something entirely else is happening at the end of the film, as evidenced by the fact the Pillar of Souls then rises from it... something which has never happened before. Therefore, the standard rules don't necessarily apply. Additionally, even if you want to argue that they do, the mattress is still totally covered in blood from earlier, when the mentally ill man cut himself on it... so one could argue that there was enough blood on it still for something to cross through.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
Corrected entry: Despite being set in Britain, the detective that visits Kirsty is from the local homicide division. UK police forces don't have homicide divisions.
Correction: Clive Barker has stated that the first film takes place in the U.S., not in Britain (the original film was slightly re-dubbed to sound more "American"), and this film takes place shortly after, in the same general location. Hence, this is not a mistake- they are not in Britain.
Correction: If this is correct, why did Larry say to Julia at the beginning "we are on your turf now"?
The films were originally meant to take place in Britain, but Clive Barker and the producers changed their minds during production and reworked the film slightly so that it would take place in the US. (For example redubbing many of the actors' lines to give them American accents.) The line about Julia being on her "home turf" is therefore now technically a mistake since it's a remnant of the original script. (They likely didn't have time to reshoot the scene to remove the line.) But regardless, Clive Barker has stated that the films as released are intended to take place in the US.

Corrected entry: The two uniformed officers are dressed like US street police and carry guns. UK police are generally unarmed.
Correction: It has been stated by Cliver Barker that the films take place in the U.S., not the UK.
Correction: At the beginning of Hellraiser Larry says to Julia that "we are on your turf" suggesting that they have moved from Brooklyn to Britain (because of Julia's accent).
