History Trivia / HellboundHellraiserII

* TheWikiRule: The [[http://hellraiser.wikia.com/wiki/Hellraiser_Wiki Hellraiser Wiki]].

** The original draft would have also firmly established Julia as the villain of the franchise as a result of Pinhead's deatg, but Creator/ClareHiggins decided she wanted to part ways with her role as well.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original draft of the script, Kirsty's father Larry would have been found in Hell after all, trapped along with Frank. He would have had a PapaWolf moment and saved his daughter from his brother, escaped from Hell along with Kirsty and Tiffany, and wound up coming BackFromTheDead. Alas, Creator/AndrewRobinson decided not to return for the sequel.

* SoMyKidsCanWatch: British Shakespearean actor Kenneth Cranham, who plays Channard, claimed his involvement was due to his grandson pestering him to take up the offer, being a fan of the original.
* TroubledProduction: Production had to deal with initial funding boosts from New World Pictures drying up and their initial screenplay (which would have seen Frank return in a major role) thrown out after Andrew Robinson declined to reprise his role. Some minor incidents (including the actor who played the Chatterer being injured by one of the flying hooks during the climactic confrontation, and the MPAA once again forcing cuts) also occurred, but the film was once again a success, bringing in $12 million against a $3 million budget. New World's funding problems led the production to transfer to the Weinstein-owned Dimension Films.

* TheOtherDarrin: The actress who played the Female Cenobite in ''Hellbound'' isn't the same one who played her in the original, but it's not very noticeable.

* CreatorBreakdown: Director Tony Randel claims the dark tone of the movie reflected his own mindset on The world at the time.

* CastingGag / YouLookFamiliar: Oliver Smith, who plays the patient that slices himself up with a straight razor, also played skinless Frank in the first movie.
