I like how once Red realizes Nuada is mortally wounded and isn’t going to live, he shows compassion and holds him as he dies. He never really wanted to be his enemy, but had to stop him.
They say that hellboy is descendant from King Arthur that’s why he’s able to fight with a sword and keep up with a skilled fighter. Not exactly sure what they meant but it was brought up from comics or the new movie. When I was young I was curious on where does he learn how to use a sword because he’s fighting so fast with it. I mostly just see him use a fist or a gun never often use a sword.
Nuada is a prime example of someone being an “Antagonist” more than an actual “Villain”. He did some messed up things to some people but he just wanted his kind to be able to be free to live their lives like they did in the past. He was more angry at the humans for the way they treat non humans and our never ending greed, never having enough. Plus, Nuada just a BAMF. His look, his demeanor, his drip, his determination, EVERYTHING!!! 🔥🤘🏽
An Antagonist stands in the way of a hero's goals. A villain does evil shit. Iron man is the Antagonist to Captain America. The good witch Gelinda is the Antagonist of Dorathy. The Joker is a Villain, the asshole from Avatar is a Villain, Prince Nuada is a Villain. He's willing to kill just about everyone to end humanity, because humans don't have the same advantages of elves and just have to make do with what they have. Shopping malls and parking lots are making due with what humans have. Elves don't need to eat, or worry about getting old, sick. Nuada is a pompous noble, that spits on the poor for surviving.

Gotta love how when Nuada gets proven wrong, and finds out that Hellboy totally has the right to challenge him, he just has this look of "Oh, fuck, I didn't think this part through."
I feel like there's a subtle moment of awesome about how the solders are built, as they instantly swing around when Hellboy issues the challenge, as if they know it's valid.
I mentioned this and it’s because he has 2 royal bloodlines from his mother and father the King Arthur from his mother who was a witch as well and his father the demon prince if I remember.
Prince Nuada it’s one of my favorite villain/characters. The way he looks,dresses, talks. His demeanor and his determination to complete his goal, whether you like it or not he’s fighting for his people and his kind to thrive once more after being forgotten and stepped upon by us humans. And his weapons!!, my god are they awesome and the way they are designed is just magnificent, along with the skill he has in using them. In my opinion it’s extremely hard not to love the guy, I wish they had a movie just about him Far far back in time when they built the Golden Army in both they are humans were at war. Now that would be bad ass!
He exudes leadership. He cares for his underlings, he is resolute and driven. Honestly, I'm right there with you, a movie about a younger Nuada fighting in the war, seeing the construction of the golden army and the slaughter that followed, his exile and him watching as his people fell to ruin as Humanity forgot its part of the treaty. He's already like 90% the way to being protagonist of this film, it wouldn't be hard to make him the hero of a new film. Sad it will never happen.
He’s not a villain though he is explicitly in the right protecting his own people for the destruction that humanity has wreaked not only that we were the ones who broke the contract there by he has every right to activate the army and destroy humanity As was agreed Hellboy is an idiot and as soon as he starts being useful he would be destroyed by a greedy species of monsters
@@charlottewalnut3118 I agree with you. The movie put him in the “Villain”/“Protagonist” roll. I don’t see him as a villain. One of the reasons I love this movie is do to the fact that it makes you pick sides even though you agree with both sides. HellBoy on the side of humans that have broken the contract and have destroyed/ruined what’s left of the other world. Prince Nuada on the side of the Other world that has crumbled under the boot heel of humans that have forgotten his people and all forms on his side. Both are in the right for completely different reasons, and many different reasons. That’s why I said he’s one of, if not my favorite “Villain/Character” Because I don’t se him truly as a villain. He’s an amazing character, Person in film history IMO,. I agree with you.
I ALWAYS LOVE HOW DEL TORO CHOREOGRAPHS THE FIGHT SCENE! Very fluid and flashy yet still impactful. Brutally beautiful. Pacific Rim also has Del Toro's touch and that's what makes it good. Sadly his movies are never really that successful financially at box office (moderately) so not many studio wants him. Maybe cuz his fantasy theme doesn't really get accepted in mainstream industry.
Tf you mean. Pacific Rim did amazingly at the box office (for a brand new movie franchise?). The sequel sucked ass and understandably bombed, but the first one did amazingly.

His biological father Azzael was worshipped as a god in Babylon. He was also one of the dukes of Hell. He was also worshipped by witches in Lancashire, Abbotsbury. Hellboy's mother, Sarah Hughes, was a witch descent from King Arthur and Hellboy was first son in King Arthur's line thus he has right to wield Excaliber. Whether we are going by his father or mother's blood, he is royalty in both hell and Great Britain.
I like how prince nuada waited until hellboy caught his balance every time before he started attacking him again. First at 6:12 mark and then at the 7:07 mark
@@omarrizal5387 that's not honor. That's hubris. Honor is upholding your end of a bargain. Hubris, or ego, is basically thinking you're better. Nuada always considered himself and the elf-kind superior to all other races. This is why he lost - observe carefully, and you'll notice even right now, he was toying with HB, doing fancy moves instead of fighting seriously. He didn't just want to defeat HB, he also wanted to humiliate him and exhibit his own superiority.
@@IndigoFlower9 No, he's right. Nuada backflips away from Hellboy at 6:02 rather than backpedaling or running away. That was A) an unnecessary waste of energy, B) tactically unwise because it forces him to lose sight of his opponent repeatedly, and C) his way of saying, "look how much faster I am than you: I can backflip as fast as you can run." He wasn't taking Hellboy seriously the whole time and that's why he lost.
@@IndigoFlower9 Yeah, when you're smaller and more agile- particularly when the opponent's more of a "tank" powerhouse type, the speed and unpredictability card is a good one to be able to play. Plus, it just feels weird to see something doing that, and in a fight that weirdness could get someone to drop their guard- similar to odd sounds martial artists will make to throw off an opponent. The people saying he's just showing off or being arrogant are missing the clues that he didn't need to give Hellboy a weapon here. When they fought in the library he didn't need to avoid killing him or wounding him the first time around. Nuada didn't hate Hellboy, he was just an opponent. And if one's psychoanalyzing his reasons for fighting this way (aside from the obvious answer that audiences like flips) it could be dynamic as a statement of "here I am" which falls in line with his belief that they had been marginalized and as a way to reject that dismissal. Point being, dude was fast and didn't want Hellboy to know what he was gonna do next, and he showed both consideration and honor several times throughout the movie. Dude was was a class act.
He was an honorable fighter, until the end when he was about to stab Hellboy in the back. That's why his sister stabbed herself and him, she couldn't bare to let him shame himself like that
The goblin says that a curse fell on the city of Bethmora when the Golden Army was stored there. A theory: the curse was actually the Golden Army drawing all the energy of the inhabitants, slowly, in some form or manner. They're basically robots, but magic or no - they need energy to come alive and fight. This energy they get by drawing on the ambient energy of their surroundings.
The forever Hellboy. Even the CGIs look better in this movie compared to the new Hellboy. It's the artistic preference that makes this movie great. The new one was too shallow
@@jaygopinath1694 i think it boils down to budgeting and time constraints. some film makers just want to get the film done and earn money, so they resort to cgi-filled movies. some directors, like christopher nolan don't like cgi at all. he makes everything practical effect as much as possible.
The CG holds up well even today, and the excellent design of these characters/sets/props/costumes are timeless. And these sort of movies aren't usually praised for their acting, but I thought the guy who played Prince Nuada did an excellent job, especially as he died.
Luke Goss, played Nomak the main antagonist vampire of Blade 2 Not really any huge blockbuster titles besides that and this though, lots of roles in your generic but enjoyable b tier action movies like death race or hollow point he was in the tekken movie as Steve Fox so theres that
The way Ron delivers that line "Attention, _all_ golden army! I _challenge_ ..Prince Nuada...For the right to command! But I'm going to your credit card number!"
Yeah, I’m just sad because Guillermo Del Toro actually went to the creators of Hellboy either this year or last year and had a final attempt at trying to get a third movie with Pearlman green lit and the creators were having none of it since the second movie did so badly in box office. Not gonna lie though that was 12 years ago now. Loads of people have watched the movie on dvd or on the internet since then so i think there would be a lot more appeal for it now more than ever?!?
@ I’m here to talk about it with you if want but my mood was basically also: WHYYYYYYYY GOD WHYYYYYYYYY, WHY DO YOU TAKE AWAY GOOD THINGS FROM GOOD PEOPLE?!?!?
I would love to see Harbour in a good Hellboy movie, he was by far the best thing about that horrible reboot. Dude was carrying entire movie on his back. Ron is iconic as hell though, I really wish we got the third film.
I can't speak for anyone else, but the scene from 3:02 to 3:39 sorta made this movie for me. We are led to believe that the Golden Army's true strength lies in numbers. But as the heroes attempt to polish up this first batch, the chassis that Johann Krauss is currently driving is suddenly impaled from behind. Krauss is forced to eject...and as soon as he returns to his containment suit, he bears witness to a sight that would ruin the morale of the most stubborn armies: The bisected robot he was possessing _pulls its halves back together._ The one that Hellboy impaled *pulls the arm out* and uses it to replace its own limb. All around the room, opponents that were presumed dead start to twitch and groan, surging with heat and steam. Gears, pulleys, twisted metal, every last component that was separated from the bodies begin to roll, jump and scrape, slamming together and clicking into place. To make matters worse, not only are each of the machines completely modular(allowing components from totally independent machines to work exactly the same with all of their comrades), the regeneration process appears able to function without any direct command from the programming that controls them. A blatant demonstration occurs when a combination of gears, pulleys and metal comes together to form a _head,_ which one of the soldiers simply takes off the ground and attaches to it's body, without the slightest hint of difficulty. The story was right. "Seventy times Seventy soldiers, that would never know hunger and could not be stopped." These machines might not be too hard to knock down, but they are impossible to _keep_ down, and eventually their enemy will be too exhausted to keep fighting.
@@mehmetakifodabas9154 Seventy times Seventy. Four thousand, nine hundred mechanical monsters. Even if the idea was proposed, it would take an astronomical amount of resources to even attempt such a thing. A single mistake, and all the effort would be wasted. The idea might hold water, _if_ the opponents of the Army had the sheer power. But against anything less than utterly overwhelming force? There isn't any contest. (Just to clarify, I'm not trying to be a jerk, just defending my opinion. I appreciate you replying to my comment.)
@@skylightdarkseal9517all I'm getting here is the only way to actually destroy them is to just vaporize them aka drop a nuke on them but in doing so that'll take some time and shit
I honeslty love this twist and aproach on a "Indestructible" Army... their indestructibel because they can rebuild themselfs back from the smallest component, can use any parts from other units and realisticly by the standards of the past, they had no way to destroy a single unit. However this does raise the question if melting the metal (with heat or acid) would do anything.
@@peterwhite6415 perhaps but from what I can see, thier already running pretty hot, what with that firey glow in them so like I said vaporization should be the best but also last option
Prince Nuada is the best antagonist villain I have ever seen. He is more like an antihero. I am not a great fan of the protagonist Hellboy, but Prince Nuada simply stole my heart.
I swear Guillermo Del Toro should direct a Star Wars movie. Not only is he an amazing director but this sword fight scene far exceeds all the lightsaber duels in every Star Wars movies combined. Yes, even the Anakin vs. Obi Wan and the Darth Maul one too.
The choreography is the perfect balance between fantastical and realistic (granted it does look a bit off here and there but effects are effects) It really does seem like two beings that are beyond the realm of mortals fightng
This is why the final fight in Blade 2 was so good and also this one, Nomak and Prince Nuada combo, imagine a fight with hellboy and blade vs Nomak and the prince.
0:00 I love this. The march of heavy metal, and the sounds of hot steam... And their appearance! These are honestly in my top 10 favorite armies. Not many scenes, but their history of felling ancient humans who had some... Strange technology in this movie series... Very cool.
Man, when I was a kid, I just loved this golden army design. I still love it to this day. The part where Johann controls one of the golden soldiers was really creative. I always dreamed that one day they would make an action figure of them or something similar.
I love how in 2:31 you can clearly see that Krauss didn't kill that soldier but just stabbed him. The soldier then pretended to fall to let his guard down and eventually destroy the body he was possessing
That reassembly scene is fantastic, the way they turn into their own little steam machines to get back to their host body. Love it. Those weapon designs are also just *chefs kiss* reminds me of bloodbornes trick weapons.
Are you talking about Hellboy 2: The Golden Army? Cuz if so, then I agree. I just don't understand why people back in the day hated on this movie so much, it's sheer perfection.
Because it's different from the comics. You can't expect to give Guilhermo Del Toro a job without giving him any freedom to give the project his own vision. This is not a movie about comics, it's inspired on comics, but cinema must always make things different. Just like Batman have already been drawn and writen by multiple artists, Hellboy have been portrayed and writen by Ron Perlman and Del Toro. This is everything people have to understand.
I love the fact that as a kid when his father told him the story, he mispronounced the word "indestructible" as "industrial" and did it again when he was an adult actually fighting the Golden Army 😂
One thing hit me the other night while watching this. The first fight, yes, Hellboy was drunk but I doubt that's ever been a problem before. Nuada was desperate. He was on a mission and was eager and ready to fulfill it. Once he had the crown, his mentality was completely different. His fighting was nowhere near as fast and vicious as the first fight. It's always easier to attain something than to defend it once you have it. That's my head canon now anyways haha.
I’d argue that it’s a mix of arrogance and mutual respect. Nuada knows Hellboy is a brash but knowledgeable person. He tries to convince him a few times that Humans and Creatures can’t coexist, but Hellboy despite going through adversity has proved before that it’s possible. It’s more of a battle of ideals than it is life and death. Which is why I love this film just as much (if not more) than the first one. Equality is a slippery slope, but not impossible by any means.
The actor who plays the price is extraordinarily, some of the those moves are his own definitely studied. Ron P is just to good his voice his demeanor love those shoes in Pacific Rim..
I love they way they introduce the golden army ,in the story it said that the golden army is unkillable but we do see they get drestroyed telling us that the army isn't like the story but then they just reansamble showing how terrific they are and you know what is better they dont explain anything but we understand everything
Luke Gross played the Best Movie Villain of all Time .. Prince Nuada who wasn't actually a bad guy per say. He was literally a Patriot fighting for his People and what he believed in His methods were just brutal
what i love about the hellboy - nuada fight is Hellboy is clearly a competent swordsman in his own right, the trope is for the big muscly guy that uses a gun to be a bit bad in a knife fight and to then win at last on some measure of luck but hellboy here is first to draw blood and forces nuada to retreat to a position where he can abuse his agility and even that backfires in the end.
7:55 It's like Prince Nuada is begging him to kill him. "You must. For I will not stop. I cannot." As much as he wants to save his people, he also does not want endless blood to all life. But with that much determination, Nuada will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Honestly, I’m glad we don’t have a third film. The Golden Army ended on a solid happy ending which is something Hellboy needed. I think people forget that. A third entry would be great to finish the whole “End of the World” thing with him, but I don’t want to see that. Plus how are you ever going to top Nuada as a anti-villain?
Weeeell, if you look at the comics you have (SPOILERS) Baba Yaga (an ancient russian witch), Gruagach (a former shapeshifting warrior of the Tuatha De Danann), Koshchei the Deathless (an inmortal warrior), Evil Brother (a wrathful Homunculus) Hecate (godes of witches) Azzael (Hellboy's Dad) and Nimue (Queen of blood and ruler of Britain). By the way, I know a few of those characters have been used in the 2019 movie, but i would like to see them as part of the original saga.
I absolutely agree. Luke Goss kicked out of the planet, practically, with this character. I loved him as Jared Nomak but I'll forever love him as Prince Nuada. Fanboying, over.
Del Toro said in an online conference (in Spanish) last year that the villain of the third part was going to be an Archangel who was asleep in a former Soviet base.
Johann was kicking ass by the dozen! Quite the formidable fighter, excellent combat intuition, coupled without the worry of pain or exhaustion makes him a total badass with the right body/object/machinery to possess
Still annoys me how liz just sits on the sidelines. She could’ve easily defeated the army. After this scene, you can see her melt the crown, which is golden like the army. Earlier with the tooth fairies we see her create a massive explosion, killing most of them. If liz had just created another explosion with the intensity needed to melt gold, then this would’ve been so chill for them
yeah, there's another massive plot hole. Why didn't the princess just kill herself at the beginning? She was willing to die when the brother was gonna be executed by their dad so why not just end it before anyone else gets hurt?
@@rosssssss177 And in this fight she could've saved them both, and saved Hellboy a lot of trouble by, say, hamstringing herself in both legs. But that wouldn't have been very honorable.
@@rosssssss177 I feel it was more a honor thing. In the beginning, the prince wasn’t challenged to a duel but hellboy did challenge him so she could not intervene. However when the prince broke the rules and tried to stab hellboy after being defeated, she then intervened.
This is SUCH an underrated movie! I LOVED it when it came out and was saddened when it didn't do as well as I thought it should've done. Bad timing I suppose. It just so happened to come out the same year as Iron Man and The Dark Knight and wasn't marketed nearly well enough to compete with those two (well deserved) juggernauts.

not only that, the design of these automata is simply beautiful and with authentic artistic identity, that mix between steampunk, with epic fantasy magic forge warcraft style if there was visual ambition not even the eternals with the celestials or the xmen sentinels could give it a style so memroable
Gotta love how when Nuada gets proven wrong, and finds out that Hellboy totally has the right to challenge him, he just has this look of "Oh, fuck, I didn't think this part through."
"Huh, a worthy opponent "
I feel like there's a subtle moment of awesome about how the solders are built, as they instantly swing around when Hellboy issues the challenge, as if they know it's valid.
@@Wolf10media "Ah... Finally, a man worth killing."
@@MLaak86 yeh the nulua sure did kind of we he was going to die
I mentioned this and it’s because he has 2 royal bloodlines from his mother and father the King Arthur from his mother who was a witch as well and his father the demon prince if I remember.
Prince Nuada it’s one of my favorite villain/characters. The way he looks,dresses, talks. His demeanor and his determination to complete his goal, whether you like it or not he’s fighting for his people and his kind to thrive once more after being forgotten and stepped upon by us humans. And his weapons!!, my god are they awesome and the way they are designed is just magnificent, along with the skill he has in using them. In my opinion it’s extremely hard not to love the guy, I wish they had a movie just about him Far far back in time when they built the Golden Army in both they are humans were at war. Now that would be bad ass!
He exudes leadership. He cares for his underlings, he is resolute and driven. Honestly, I'm right there with you, a movie about a younger Nuada fighting in the war, seeing the construction of the golden army and the slaughter that followed, his exile and him watching as his people fell to ruin as Humanity forgot its part of the treaty. He's already like 90% the way to being protagonist of this film, it wouldn't be hard to make him the hero of a new film. Sad it will never happen.
Amen to this brother
he looks like black metal band member. with those long hair and corpse paint. lol.
He’s not a villain though he is explicitly in the right protecting his own people for the destruction that humanity has wreaked not only that we were the ones who broke the contract there by he has every right to activate the army and destroy humanity As was agreed Hellboy is an idiot and as soon as he starts being useful he would be destroyed by a greedy species of monsters
@@charlottewalnut3118 I agree with you. The movie put him in the “Villain”/“Protagonist” roll. I don’t see him as a villain. One of the reasons I love this movie is do to the fact that it makes you pick sides even though you agree with both sides. HellBoy on the side of humans that have broken the contract and have destroyed/ruined what’s left of the other world. Prince Nuada on the side of the Other world that has crumbled under the boot heel of humans that have forgotten his people and all forms on his side. Both are in the right for completely different reasons, and many different reasons. That’s why I said he’s one of, if not my favorite “Villain/Character” Because I don’t se him truly as a villain. He’s an amazing character, Person in film history IMO,. I agree with you.
I ALWAYS LOVE HOW DEL TORO CHOREOGRAPHS THE FIGHT SCENE!
Very fluid and flashy yet still impactful. Brutally beautiful. Pacific Rim also has Del Toro's touch and that's what makes it good.
Sadly his movies are never really that successful financially at box office (moderately) so not many studio wants him. Maybe cuz his fantasy theme doesn't really get accepted in mainstream industry.
Tf you mean. Pacific Rim did amazingly at the box office (for a brand new movie franchise?). The sequel sucked ass and understandably bombed, but the first one did amazingly.
@@antibull4869 pacific rim only made 411m for production cost of 200m. It's not bad but definitely not that good. Because the studio also paid for promotional campaign, and it cost a lot.

His biological father Azzael was worshipped as a god in Babylon. He was also one of the dukes of Hell. He was also worshipped by witches in Lancashire, Abbotsbury. Hellboy's mother, Sarah Hughes, was a witch descent from King Arthur and Hellboy was first son in King Arthur's line thus he has right to wield Excaliber. Whether we are going by his father or mother's blood, he is royalty in both hell and Great Britain.
“You jumpy, slippery, bastard”...” I gotcha now”. Best fucking quote ever Ron Perlman’s HELLBOY forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really is an underrated line. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks so.
Totally
I always loved the detail at 1:13 of Hellboy remembering his childhood remark. "What does it mean to be industrable?"
The whole aesthetic of Del Toro's movies is unparalleled. Even the blades they use look gorgeous
Can we agree that the Hellboy OG movies and animated movies are flipping awesome and deserve more love?
Low key Nuada is one of the best villains in any superhero movie and they killed the design of the elves in this
I definitely agree too.
The Golden army is the scariest I’ve ever seen in a sci fi/magic story. Even if you destroy all of them they just magically fix themselves.
And that’s what makes them indestructible.
They're like the Iron Giant's little brothers.
And their parts make choo choo noises when they scurry back to reassemble.

I like how prince nuada waited until hellboy caught his balance every time before he started attacking him again. First at 6:12 mark and then at the 7:07 mark
he has honor
@@omarrizal5387 that's not honor. That's hubris. Honor is upholding your end of a bargain. Hubris, or ego, is basically thinking you're better.
Nuada always considered himself and the elf-kind superior to all other races. This is why he lost - observe carefully, and you'll notice even right now, he was toying with HB, doing fancy moves instead of fighting seriously. He didn't just want to defeat HB, he also wanted to humiliate him and exhibit his own superiority.
@@IndigoFlower9 No, he's right. Nuada backflips away from Hellboy at 6:02 rather than backpedaling or running away. That was A) an unnecessary waste of energy, B) tactically unwise because it forces him to lose sight of his opponent repeatedly, and C) his way of saying, "look how much faster I am than you: I can backflip as fast as you can run." He wasn't taking Hellboy seriously the whole time and that's why he lost.
@@IndigoFlower9 Yeah, when you're smaller and more agile- particularly when the opponent's more of a "tank" powerhouse type, the speed and unpredictability card is a good one to be able to play. Plus, it just feels weird to see something doing that, and in a fight that weirdness could get someone to drop their guard- similar to odd sounds martial artists will make to throw off an opponent.
The people saying he's just showing off or being arrogant are missing the clues that he didn't need to give Hellboy a weapon here. When they fought in the library he didn't need to avoid killing him or wounding him the first time around. Nuada didn't hate Hellboy, he was just an opponent. And if one's psychoanalyzing his reasons for fighting this way (aside from the obvious answer that audiences like flips) it could be dynamic as a statement of "here I am" which falls in line with his belief that they had been marginalized and as a way to reject that dismissal.
Point being, dude was fast and didn't want Hellboy to know what he was gonna do next, and he showed both consideration and honor several times throughout the movie. Dude was was a class act.
He was an honorable fighter, until the end when he was about to stab Hellboy in the back. That's why his sister stabbed herself and him, she couldn't bare to let him shame himself like that
The goblin says that a curse fell on the city of Bethmora when the Golden Army was stored there.
A theory: the curse was actually the Golden Army drawing all the energy of the inhabitants, slowly, in some form or manner. They're basically robots, but magic or no - they need energy to come alive and fight. This energy they get by drawing on the ambient energy of their surroundings.
I love that idea. Magic with actual rules and resource management is always great.
What a good idea! Someone please write a fanfic with this👀🔥
Looking at you JK Rowling and Harry Potter LMAO@@voltronimusprime3833
Even magic is a different form of energy, it cannot be destroyed or created, it can only transform

Kraus possessing one of the soldiers was one of the most badass things ever
“You jumping slippery bastard, I got you now” 😂😂😂😂
Fun fact: in the comics, Hellboy is more proficient with a blade than he is with The Samaritan. This fight felt like a nice nod to that
The CG holds up well even today, and the excellent design of these characters/sets/props/costumes are timeless.
And these sort of movies aren't usually praised for their acting, but I thought the guy who played Prince Nuada did an excellent job, especially as he died.
Luke Goss, played Nomak the main antagonist vampire of Blade 2
Not really any huge blockbuster titles besides that and this though, lots of roles in your generic but enjoyable b tier action movies like death race or hollow point

@@crimsonhunter7598
He really hated the yellow contacts most. Almost caused him permanent blind
When I was a kid.... Prince Nuada was just a villian... Now as an adult, holy crap he's hot AF
That emotional look from the face "Nuada", I haven't seen anyone express that much dismay.
The CGI on this is underrated for the time. VERY high quality for back then.
The way Ron delivers that line
"Attention, _all_ golden army! I _challenge_ ..Prince Nuada...For the right to command! But I'm going to your credit card number!"
As much as I like David Harbour as Hellboy, Ron Pearlman will ALWAYS be Hellboy in my opinion!
David voice is annoying. Ron Perlman is always my favorite
Yeah, I’m just sad because Guillermo Del Toro actually went to the creators of Hellboy either this year or last year and had a final attempt at trying to get a third movie with Pearlman green lit and the creators were having none of it since the second movie did so badly in box office. Not gonna lie though that was 12 years ago now. Loads of people have watched the movie on dvd or on the internet since then so i think there would be a lot more appeal for it now more than ever?!?
@ I’m here to talk about it with you if want but my mood was basically also: WHYYYYYYYY GOD WHYYYYYYYYY, WHY DO YOU TAKE AWAY GOOD THINGS FROM GOOD PEOPLE?!?!?
@@Molz333 and the funny thing is I actually love this movie I think both hellboy 1 and 2 were good
I would love to see Harbour in a good Hellboy movie, he was by far the best thing about that horrible reboot. Dude was carrying entire movie on his back. Ron is iconic as hell though, I really wish we got the third film.
I can't speak for anyone else, but the scene from 3:02 to 3:39 sorta made this movie for me.
We are led to believe that the Golden Army's true strength lies in numbers.
But as the heroes attempt to polish up this first batch, the chassis that Johann Krauss is currently driving is suddenly impaled from behind.
Krauss is forced to eject...and as soon as he returns to his containment suit, he bears witness to a sight that would ruin the morale of the most stubborn armies:
The bisected robot he was possessing _pulls its halves back together._
The one that Hellboy impaled *pulls the arm out* and uses it to replace its own limb.
All around the room, opponents that were presumed dead start to twitch and groan, surging with heat and steam. Gears, pulleys, twisted metal, every last component that was separated from the bodies begin to roll, jump and scrape, slamming together and clicking into place.
To make matters worse, not only are each of the machines completely modular(allowing components from totally independent machines to work exactly the same with all of their comrades), the regeneration process appears able to function without any direct command from the programming that controls them.
A blatant demonstration occurs when a combination of gears, pulleys and metal comes together to form a _head,_ which one of the soldiers simply takes off the ground and attaches to it's body, without the slightest hint of difficulty.
The story was right. "Seventy times Seventy soldiers, that would never know hunger and could not be stopped." These machines might not be too hard to knock down, but they are impossible to _keep_ down, and eventually their enemy will be too exhausted to keep fighting.
what if we keep fallen parts apart what they gonna do about it
@@mehmetakifodabas9154 Seventy times Seventy. Four thousand, nine hundred mechanical monsters.
Even if the idea was proposed, it would take an astronomical amount of resources to even attempt such a thing.
A single mistake, and all the effort would be wasted. The idea might hold water, _if_ the opponents of the Army had the sheer power. But against anything less than utterly overwhelming force? There isn't any contest.
(Just to clarify, I'm not trying to be a jerk, just defending my opinion. I appreciate you replying to my comment.)
@@skylightdarkseal9517all I'm getting here is the only way to actually destroy them is to just vaporize them aka drop a nuke on them but in doing so that'll take some time and shit
I honeslty love this twist and aproach on a "Indestructible" Army... their indestructibel because they can rebuild themselfs back from the smallest component, can use any parts from other units and realisticly by the standards of the past, they had no way to destroy a single unit.
However this does raise the question if melting the metal (with heat or acid) would do anything.
@@peterwhite6415 perhaps but from what I can see, thier already running pretty hot, what with that firey glow in them so like I said vaporization should be the best but also last option

Prince Nuada is the best antagonist villain I have ever seen. He is more like an antihero. I am not a great fan of the protagonist Hellboy, but Prince Nuada simply stole my heart.

I swear Guillermo Del Toro should direct a Star Wars movie. Not only is he an amazing director but this sword fight scene far exceeds all the lightsaber duels in every Star Wars movies combined. Yes, even the Anakin vs. Obi Wan and the Darth Maul one too.
oh my god i would give my life savings to see guillermo direct a star wars project or trilogy.
1:11 always liked that callback to the opening.
The choreography is the perfect balance between fantastical and realistic (granted it does look a bit off here and there but effects are effects)
It really does seem like two beings that are beyond the realm of mortals fightng
Shove off steve
This is why the final fight in Blade 2 was so good and also this one, Nomak and Prince Nuada combo, imagine a fight with hellboy and blade vs Nomak and the prince.
I love how you can see Red actually learned from his last fight. He knows how Nuada fights now and how his weapon works.
0:00 I love this. The march of heavy metal, and the sounds of hot steam... And their appearance! These are honestly in my top 10 favorite armies. Not many scenes, but their history of felling ancient humans who had some... Strange technology in this movie series... Very cool.
Man, when I was a kid, I just loved this golden army design. I still love it to this day. The part where Johann controls one of the golden soldiers was really creative. I always dreamed that one day they would make an action figure of them or something similar.
Along with Memnon from The Scorpion King, this sequence is a rare case of the hero being a big hulking titan while the villain is a nimble dex build.
I'm so happy they made Hellboys sword skills are canon to the movies.
But he can will the excalibur and become the destroyer of all things
I love how in 2:31 you can clearly see that Krauss didn't kill that soldier but just stabbed him. The soldier then pretended to fall to let his guard down and eventually destroy the body he was possessing
I never noticed that before
That reassembly scene is fantastic, the way they turn into their own little steam machines to get back to their host body. Love it.
Those weapon designs are also just *chefs kiss* reminds me of bloodbornes trick weapons.
Many people think s that Hellboy movie is not so good but I never understand why 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Are you talking about Hellboy 2: The Golden Army? Cuz if so, then I agree. I just don't understand why people back in the day hated on this movie so much, it's sheer perfection.
@@starviper1646 it’s starting to get the recognition it deserves after the 2019 flop
Probably the rarest moment where the sequel is better than the original.
Because it's different from the comics.
You can't expect to give Guilhermo Del Toro a job without giving him any freedom to give the project his own vision.
This is not a movie about comics, it's inspired on comics, but cinema must always make things different.
Just like Batman have already been drawn and writen by multiple artists, Hellboy have been portrayed and writen by Ron Perlman and Del Toro.
This is everything people have to understand.
3:03 - 3:39
Hell boy: Oh crap.
Me: now we know why the Golden Army is indestructible.
I love the fact that as a kid when his father told him the story, he mispronounced the word "indestructible" as "industrial" and did it again when he was an adult actually fighting the Golden Army 😂
When your adult brain can only pronounce it the way your child brain pronounces it.
The only disappointing thing about this movie is they didn't make the 3rd part
Hellboy = Fire
Abe = Water
Johann = Air
If Roger was in this, he'd be Earth.
One thing hit me the other night while watching this. The first fight, yes, Hellboy was drunk but I doubt that's ever been a problem before.
Nuada was desperate. He was on a mission and was eager and ready to fulfill it. Once he had the crown, his mentality was completely different. His fighting was nowhere near as fast and vicious as the first fight. It's always easier to attain something than to defend it once you have it.
That's my head canon now anyways haha.
🙂
Or actually Hellboy is not so bad at fighting. Actually it is in his blood and heritage to he a dangerous meele fighter.

@@vencislavgynev8282 That doesn't change Nuada's change of aggressiveness from the first fight to the second and the emotions he shows during them.
I’d argue that it’s a mix of arrogance and mutual respect.
Nuada knows Hellboy is a brash but knowledgeable person. He tries to convince him a few times that Humans and Creatures can’t coexist, but Hellboy despite going through adversity has proved before that it’s possible.
It’s more of a battle of ideals than it is life and death. Which is why I love this film just as much (if not more) than the first one. Equality is a slippery slope, but not impossible by any means.
The choreography between the Hellboy vs Nuada fight is SO FUCKING GOOD.
Love the design of The Golden Army and I like fact that they're indestructible.
This movie will always have a place in my heart hopefully one day we get the ending to the real story 💔
"Don't do this, he'll kill you" "What, and those robo soldiers wouldn't?"
Ty for reminding us we aren’t gonna ever see the third film in this version of hellboy.

I love they way they introduce the golden army ,in the story it said that the golden army is unkillable but we do see they get drestroyed telling us that the army isn't like the story but then they just reansamble showing how terrific they are and you know what is better they dont explain anything but we understand everything
Luke Gross played the Best Movie Villain of all Time .. Prince Nuada
who wasn't actually a bad guy per say. He was literally a Patriot fighting for his People and what he believed in
His methods were just brutal
what i love about the hellboy - nuada fight is Hellboy is clearly a competent swordsman in his own right, the trope is for the big muscly guy that uses a gun to be a bit bad in a knife fight and to then win at last on some measure of luck but hellboy here is first to draw blood and forces nuada to retreat to a position where he can abuse his agility and even that backfires in the end.
Nuada's race is so beautiful to me, beucause in death they become statues making it impossible to forget that their race existed
The villain for some, is a hero for others.
Hey! They brought back Micheal Keaton for Beetlejuice, and Hugh Jackman for Wolverine. And they are both in their 70s. Cmon Ron.. the world needs you.
🦍🐵"WE NEED -kong- RON THE WORLD NEEDS HIM!" :)
And they even brought back my main man The Daywalker himself WESLEY FREAKIN SNIPES🦇😎
We just need to include Guillermo Del Toro to come back to direct a Hellboy III otherwise what's the point 😂
FAWK where are my manners 😅
Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire came back as Spidey😊
I love this aesthetic, like something the celts would build If they had a industrial revolution.
Imagine Caesar facing these legions during the war of the gauls.
This would have been a massacre.
7:55 It's like Prince Nuada is begging him to kill him. "You must. For I will not stop. I cannot." As much as he wants to save his people, he also does not want endless blood to all life. But with that much determination, Nuada will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
THe CGI is still one of the best despite the years.

Honestly, I’m glad we don’t have a third film. The Golden Army ended on a solid happy ending which is something Hellboy needed. I think people forget that. A third entry would be great to finish the whole “End of the World” thing with him, but I don’t want to see that. Plus how are you ever going to top Nuada as a anti-villain?
Would be cool to have Hellboy kill satan.
Weeeell, if you look at the comics you have (SPOILERS)
Baba Yaga (an ancient russian witch), Gruagach (a former shapeshifting warrior of the Tuatha De Danann), Koshchei the Deathless (an inmortal warrior), Evil Brother (a wrathful Homunculus) Hecate (godes of witches) Azzael (Hellboy's Dad) and Nimue (Queen of blood and ruler of Britain).
By the way, I know a few of those characters have been used in the 2019 movie, but i would like to see them as part of the original saga.
I absolutely agree. Luke Goss kicked out of the planet, practically, with this character. I loved him as Jared Nomak but I'll forever love him as Prince Nuada.
Fanboying, over.
The deleted epilogue was gonna tease Rasputin returning as a Ghost.
Just like in the comic.

There are very few films that I believe to be a perfect 10/10 . Golden Army is just a chef's kiss of sheer perfection.
Still annoys me how liz just sits on the sidelines. She could’ve easily defeated the army. After this scene, you can see her melt the crown, which is golden like the army. Earlier with the tooth fairies we see her create a massive explosion, killing most of them. If liz had just created another explosion with the intensity needed to melt gold, then this would’ve been so chill for them
Yep, that's a plot hole (that I exploited in a fanfic I wrote on Hellboy 2)😅😉
yeah, there's another massive plot hole. Why didn't the princess just kill herself at the beginning? She was willing to die when the brother was gonna be executed by their dad so why not just end it before anyone else gets hurt?
@@rosssssss177 And in this fight she could've saved them both, and saved Hellboy a lot of trouble by, say, hamstringing herself in both legs.
But that wouldn't have been very honorable.
Maybe because causing an explosion would hurt or kill the princess or Abe both of which they weren’t trying to do
@@rosssssss177 I feel it was more a honor thing. In the beginning, the prince wasn’t challenged to a duel but hellboy did challenge him so she could not intervene. However when the prince broke the rules and tried to stab hellboy after being defeated, she then intervened.
