Trivia
According to the deleted scenes on disk two of the two-disk Special Edition DVD, the obelisk that serves as the lock by which Hellboy would release the Ogdru Jahad fell to Earth during the "Tunguska event," an enormously powerful explosion, believed to have been caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet, that occurred near the Podkamennaya (Lower Stony) Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai in Russia on June 30, 1908.

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 (2002), del Toro was offered Blade: Trinity (2004) or Hellboy, and though he briefly considered trying to schedule both in, he chose Hellboy.

Q
Why is The Right Hand of Doom suddenly on Hellboy's left hand in Kroenen's lair?
A
This is called a flipped shot. They filmed the shot with Ron wearing the RHoD on his right, but for whatever reason they decided to flip the shot during post production making it look like the RHoD was on Ron's left.
