1* ActingForTwo: Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor plays the both the younger version of Professor Bruttenholm and Father Lupescu.
2* CreatorsOddBall: Both movies are the only adult animated projects that Tad Stones, Phil Weinstein, Matt Wayne, and Kevin Hopps took part in.
3* RecursiveAdaptation: There were also comic books based on this continuity. So, comicbook adaptations of a cartoon adaptation of a comicbook.
4* RoleReprise: As noted above, Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, and John Hurt reprise their respective roles from [[Film/Hellboy2004 the live-action film series]] as Hellboy, Liz Sherman, Abe Sapien, and Professor Bruttenholm. In fact, as the movies were released before ''The Golden Army'', this was the first time Jones's own voice was heard as Abe (having been dubbed over by [[Series/{{Frasier}} David Hyde Pierce]] in the first movie). The only exception besides Pierce is Creator/JeffreyTambor as Tom Manning, having been replaced by Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}.
5* TimeShiftedActor: The younger Bruttenholm is played by Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor in flashbacks.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
7** A third animated film, "The Phantom Claw", which was to be the debut of Lobster Johnson, had been planned (Heck, they even [[TheStinger teased it]] at the end of ''Blood and Iron''!), but it never came to fruition. And according to rumors, Lobster Johnson would've been voiced by ''Creator/BruceCampbell''.
8** There were also plans for a possible animated series, but it wasn’t greenlit.
