Hellboy II: The Golden Army-Trivia

Trivia

The number 7 appears throughout the movie, most notably when it is stated that the Golden Army consists of “70 times 70″, but also during the scene in the auction house, where the crown piece is listed as lot 777, with a starting price of $7,000.

Santiago Segura, who acts as “Distinguished Customer” in the auction scene (and in other movies directed by ‘Guillermo Del Toro’), also voices Johann Krauss in the Spanish dubbed version.

Shipped to some theaters under the name “Burnt Toast”.

The damaged mask of Kroenen from the first film can be seen in a glass case at the BPRD headquarters.

Seth MacFarlane’s first major motion picture.

As in the first movie, the agents that accompany Hellboy are named for things found while digging in the earth, albeit decidedly tougher than the first group: Marble, Flint, Steel (true, this is an alloy that is mostly iron, but Iron is not a common last name).

Thomas Kretschmann was the first choice as the voice of Johann Kraus, but Guillermo del Toro was not satisfied with the result, and subsequently brought in Seth MacFarlane.

RonPerlman was offered the role of Piccolo in Dragon ball (2009), but turned it down in favor of reprising his role of Hellboy.

After reading it in his manual/ancient lore book, Abe calls Tooth Faires “Carcarodon Carcharias”. Actually, that is the scientific name of the Great White Shark.

The area where Hellboy and company walk around is not actually the Giant’s Causeway. It can be seen far behind them. The area they are standing on is an area known as “Musedin’s Temple”, the Temple being close behind the camera for most of shots. The Causeway itself is actually a couple of miles from their position.

Just like the first film, none of the cast member’s names are written on the posters, mentioned in the trailers or shown in the opening credits.
