* While it's easy to hate on the citizens turning into an AngryMob towards Hellboy and his group, try to see it from their point of view: Hellboy used to be more of an urban legend, a cyptic, who while showing some traces of his existence was still a mysterious figure who'd come and go, and whenever it came across someone (like the child at the rooftop and the people he saves at the subway fight with Sammael) they react with enthusiasm because they're having a special, personal encounter with the mysterious figure everyone buzzes about, or would eventually rationalize it's some kind of strange stunt and not find him exceptional. The fight with the Elemental was a shock because the entire population learned that Hellboy, the supernatural and dangerous, malignant fantasy creatures are all 100% real, and the personal awe easily turned into all sorts of FridgeHorror fears about the implications of this reveal, about what else could be out there (indeed; an insane elf prince wants to unleash an unkillable robot army to exterminate mankind).

* The DVD came with a motion comic teasing how the unmade fourth movie could have started. It opens with a businessman venturing into Kroenen's lair and salvaging his head from his mangled body. He reanimates it and we hear Kroenen speak for the first time, gloating that he's fulfilled his master's wishes. And that's when we see Rasputin, alive and well...

He reanimates it in a secret Antarctica base attaching it to a new giant robot body and we hear Kroenen speak for the first time, gloating that he's fulfilled his master's wishes.
