Storyline
In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil. Written by Brian Barjenbruch

Trivia
Director Guillermo del Toro for years considered this film a dream project and had always wanted to cast Ron Perlman in the lead, but could never secure a budget or studio approval. After the massive success of Blade II, del Toro was offered Blade: Trinity or Hellboy, and though he briefly considered trying to schedule both in, he chose Hellboy. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: When Agent Myers was at the gates of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, he had a retina scan. The machine scanned his right eye, but it identified it as his left eye. See more »Quotes
