* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Pinhead says he is not so different from Monroe for using girls only for pleasure, the latter rejects it and says that what Pinhead did (eating her alive) was plain evil compared to him.

* OddballInTheSeries: When compared to the first 2 entries, this movie comes off as an oddity. There’s no mention of Leviathan anymore as the movie builds up Pinhead as the devil that can do anything, the classic Cenobites are nowhere to be seen, it’s in New York City rather than England and Kirsty isn’t the main character, only making a brief cameo. This especially especially noticeable when Arrow Video released the “''Hellraiser Scarlet Box''” set, which contained the first 3 movies.

* SequelEscalation: The makers of the third film tried to get around the problem of topping Hell itself by promising a film where the series' antagonists, the Cenobites, are unleashed in an urban setting. The end result was not well-received, to say the very least.
