The scene with Hellboy and Abe getting drunk talking about love is one of those scenes that when I saw it as a kid, was heartwarming in a way I couldn’t really explain
Del Toro saying the shape of water creature was completely different than Abe, has the exact same energy as Vanilla Ice trying to explain how ice ice baby and under pressure are different sounds 😂
I like having these on for background noise and pretend I’m on vacation in Australia And that two strange, yet endearing, homeless men are rambling about nothing outside the hotel window ‘That wasn’t a boy!’ ‘It was a small woman, James!’ ‘I’m glad we’ve done our research.’
It's the darn shame that Guillemo del Toro never made Hellboy 3, credit goes out to Ron Pearlman to do Hellboy again for the poor sweet ill boy for Make A Wish foundation .
@@li-limandragon9287 I'm sure his accent was terrible, but the fact that he took the effort just to make sure he could better link up to the sync for the dubbing at least, I can quite respect that.
"The Dark Knight is a good movie, for Heath Ledger's performance alone!" is such an old Weekly Planet meme it almost didn't register when James said it this time around 🤣 What a legend, he never misses!
2008: Iron Man Incredible Hulk Hellboy 2: The Golden Army The Dark Knight What a fucking summer. I was about to start highschool and can't remember another summer I spent so much time at the movies
Montserrat Ribé (Young Hellboy) was also the leading make-up artist in Pan's labyrinth, which got her a freaking ACADEMY AWARD together with David Martí. Before Pan's labyrinth, both had already worked together and gained awards by working in the del Toro-produced "The orphanage". Both happen to be from the Barcelona area.
Guillermo del Toro just knows how to unlock Luke Goss' potential. Everything else I've seen him in, it's been a mess. But in a del Toro project, Captain Charisma.
Not seen him in much but he's always good. There's a great film where he's being hunted in the badlands of the US. Can't remember the name, stumbled on it when I was bored.
Even when taking his darker movies into account I doubt he's enough of a sicko to make (manga) Berserk fans happy. I think he'd make a killer adaptation of the original anime show though.
Hellboy 2 is one of my favourite superhero movies. GDT gets to fully embrace the fantasy and horror elements but it also shows these characters are interested and compelling. The makeup is phenomenal (it was nominated for the Oscar for best makeup) the score is fantastic, the effects are great and the cast is magnificent
Please the plot was thin, despite a cool beginning. It wears off quickly has the plant scene made to look nice until we follow Hellboy family man telling about his stupid problems only to have just like another del Toro's movie a weak ending. The plot is bloated and uninteresting Ron Pearlman but Hellboy is badly written. It's a bad movie you like it cool. It's still bad and flopped for a reason.
You guys missed an interesting bit of trivia. On the HB2 DVD, there's a digital comic epilogue where Kroenen is recovered and his head attached to a big robot body. It's then revealed that Rasputin has resurrected again. An epilogue to HB2 and a prologue to HB3 simultaneously. Such a shame it never happened.
Trash movies nothing only practical effects are salvagable. And Abe is well done the rest was meh. The live story was uninteresting and Hellboy a joke.
I was exhausted taking a bus past a cinema and on a whim decided to get off and watch this. It was a Tuesday morning and I was the only person there. I fell asleep almost immediately, and woke up just before the end. When I woke up, I was still alone.
I'm sure it has it's charms looking at it as a splatter comedy, but if one thinks the Del Toro films may be lacking as representations of the material, this one feels like a foreign entity entirely. It's why I actually have some hope for "The Crooked Man" because it's better to trim back on the excess and focus on the mood again. Even Del Toro knew that much, which is why they hold up a lot better in comparison to 2019.
Weirdly I get it. The movie is a horrible mess but there are so many scenes that just nail the tone and contain memorable moments from the comics. Like the Baba Yaga scene in her Chicken Leg House. Haunting. Then Hellboy fights a CG giant to some dad rock! Baffling indeed
It's certainly baffling. Any time he says he really liked a dreadful movie like that I have to assume he only watched it once while he was looking at his phone because there's no other explanation. That movie is so awful it almost made me hate movies as a concept
The Hellboy 3 was not the friends we made along the way but the Ron Pearlman makes a wish experience and that kid is the only one worthy enough to experience it
Guillermo Del Toro made this move a visual spectacle and emotional rollercoaster, but was truly transcendent were the designs the Golden Army's regeneration, The Angel of Death and Forest God were so marvelous.
You guys are pretty bang on. One of the twins was gonna be Hellgirl, and one was gonna be a new version of Black Fire (having the blue flames of his mom). Black fire was gonna be manipulated by the blood queen into joining her and taking up the mantle of destiny hellboy was refusing. Somewhat a King Arthur vs Mordred set up, especially because hellboy would get Arthur’s sword and black fire was rumored to wear mordreds armor. In order to save the world Hellboy would have to embrace ending it and unleash Ragnarrock. But as the legend says, to end the world is to let it be reborn. The world would be saved, Hellgirl would take on her father & mothers work at the B.P.R.D, and from the whispers on the wind Hellboy, Liz, Black Fire and the Blood Queen would all die, but Hellboy and Liz would also become the rulers/wardens over hell. Not forsaken by God, or punished, but “ascended”. I don’t know what would have become of black fire after death, likely helping his parents out in their new kingdom. Bruce Campbell was gonna be the Ghost of Lobster Johnson, and this was all gonna cost at leas 200million. This is all pieced together info from a lot of separate interviews with Ron Perlman and Del Toro. And a lot of their ideas were taken to be used in the reboot, which used the blood queen, that girl who could summon ghosts, the baba yaga, lobster johnson, and Arthur’s sword.
I cannot express enough how much the "im not a baby im a tumor" scene scarred me as a child. It genuinely disturbed me for months if not years after seeing this movie.
Gutted we never got the sequel. There was zero need to reboot this series (twice!), they could have made two more GDT movies and just dropped the numbering and asked him to keep the arc plot to a minimum. Even once Ron Perlman got too old for the make-up, I reckon CGI would have been good enough to do a photorealistic replica of his latex make-up, especially with reference prostheses and so on on-set, and he could have done performance capture. You could still do it now, audiences understand that DC have like three different Batman universes going, they could handle two Hellboys.
so glad you did these movies there one of my all time favorite comic book live action adaptations of all time even after everything that has been done to this day these movies still stand as 2 of the best in the industry. Guillermo del Toro is a movie making legend !!! when i found out he was meant to do a dc justice league dark movie and never got to do it i was heart broken it would have been AMAZING
After Abe Sapien discovered that Liz was pregnant he said "Liz you're pregnant, you don't need to harvest your eggs anymore." This and the character's skin tone led to the working title of this movie being "Blue Harvest", which was also the working the title for the original Star Wars movie.
Hellboy 1/2 are on my fiancés favourite list. Never really was into it until we started putting it on in the background to fall asleep to. I put them both on all the time now on my own. I went to a GDT exhibit a few years back and it showcased 7 of his “libraries” he has in his second home called “Bleak House” a homage to Charles Dickens. Each “library” was on full display and separated into 7 rooms to walk through. Each room had its own theme. Bugs & Insects, Fairytales, Monsters , Frankenstein, Vampires, Hellboy and “freaks”. Each room has had a GDT directed and written/co-written films. Bugs - Mimic & Pinocchio Hellboy 1/2 Vampires - The Strain, Blade 2, Monsters - Pacific Rim Frankenstein literally wrapped this summer, Fairytales - Pinocchio & Pans Labyrinth, Freaks - featured in almost all of his movies is a “mutated” version of something normal in nature
As the video started I was like ‘hmm sounds like James was stifling a laugh at the beginning of that, wonder if we can find that out on the extended podcast version’ and I was 100% right. Maybe I’ve been listening to these boys too much
I was never interested in the first one, but that Angel of Death design was so god damn cool that I bought a ticket to this just so I could see it in action Movie was actually pretty cool. It deserved a sequel to wrap the story up
I saw Hellboy 2 in theaters. It's the only time I forgot what movie I was seeing by the time the trailers ended. That is not a commentary on the movie itself, it was just the most memorable thing that night.
This movie is awesome. Luke Goss is so compelling both in this movie, as Prince Nuada, and playing the similar Nomak, in Blade 2. Luke Goss is so good in those two movies. And Doug Jones is fantastic. Hasn't been this good until ST discovery as Saru.
VFX artist here, never made a baby... Either in reality or in a computer, but let me just note that an example of an amazing CGI baby is the newborn from Children of Men.
So glad you mentioned The Dark Knight. I don’t typically get to see very many movies a year, and I specifically remember not seeing this because The Dark Knight was in theaters. Still haven’t seen Hellboy 2 despite liking the first movie and liking the comics. This is a nice reminder to fix that.
I would bet that he wouldn't have been obsessed with accuracy and amount of nerdrage would have been tiring for what would have most likely been an alright movie.
The Angel of Death was the best creature design in this film. Props to Doug Jones again playing more than one creature in the same movie!!!🤟👏 Hope that they make that official Hellboy threequel and finish the trilogy in style (hey, I can dream, can't I?)
As a 2000’s kid, I specifically remember universal always having their website at the bottom of the logo. I guess I’m happy two Australian men took time out of their day to talk about this.
Loved it more than I remembered on the rewatch. I'm also all for directors/writers making new stories up for films instead of rehashing or changing comic stories, as long as the original creator approves somewhat (unless it's Alan Moore).
Invincible's version of Hellboy is the best one. Damien Darkblood, like a Hellboy Constantine blend. Invincible does the best versions of every supe type
So I know you guys probably won't read this but Del Tezzy was/is a big fan of Creature from the Black Lagoon (as mentioned). Around the time of Blade II he was in talks with Universal to remake it with the idea that the romance works out unlike in the original film. The execs were like ew no, and he moved on. Keeping the idea in his back pocket and finally just moving on from a remake and doing his own thing which was the right idea. It freed it from expectations and could make any changes he wanted. But also at the time of Shape of Water they were going for the Dark Universe™ so the Creature was off limits. But also Del Toro was originally offered to be the Kevin Feige of the Dark Universe at one point so he probably couldve done it. Sorta related the history of Creature from the Black Lagoon's history of failed remakes is interesting from John Landis to John Carpenter to James Gunn attempting remakes but never getting off the ground. Some interesting takes how the Creature would look to bad takes.
Fun fact - the drop in revenue for Hellboy 2 due to Dark Knight might actually be about more than just popularity. I'm not sure about other cinema chains, but the one I worked for (a major one) was constantly "incentivized" by studios to run their big movies on more screens, basically squashing any lesser films to the smaller screens, or even out of the theater altogether. Universal and WB were known for doing this, but in the past decade, Disney has really shifted into high gear with it - going so far as to basically threaten some chains with "Play this on 4 of 8/12 of 24 screens, or we refuse to provide you with the next kids movie/Star Wars/etc".
Just a quick random fun fact, the bald guy at 3:50 with Rupert Evans, that's Daphne Keen's(X23) father, he is also an actor, he was on His Dark Materials with her.
I don't think anyone else mentioned it below, but Roy Dotrice played not only the Elf King in Hellboy 2. Roy also played Ron perlmans' Father in 1987 TV series Beauty and the Beast. It was nice to see them working on a project together .
0:16 Yes, it was a thing. From 1998 to 2010, Universal put their website link underneath their on-screen logo for movies. In early 2010, they dropped the URL from their logo, and added a byline saying “A Division of NBC Universal”, which then became “A Comcast Company” in 2012, once they introduced the current logo for their 100th Anniversary.
Luke Goss stars in one of my favorite underserved movies...Interview with a Hitman. It is what it sounds like. And in it he plays the titular hitman who, up and down, looks, sounds and acts like Agent 47. It's the closest we'll ever get to a GOOD Agent 47/Hitman live action movie. And FYI Mason...you're not the only one who likes the Hellboy reboot. I'm also a fan.
I just rewatched this movie for the first time since it came out. Great movie, the plot was good the weird creatures were beautiful such a shame there wasnt a 3rd one with Ron Pearlman.
When these two movies came out, I hadn't read 'Hellboy' comics, and they particularly make me want to. Over the last ten years, I've become an obsessive reader of the whole Hellboy universe, and now these movies frustrate me because they focus on elements that (to me) are the least interesting. Liz Sherman is one of my favourite characters in the comix. Having her reduced to a baby-making romantic subplot bums me out. She and Abe and Hellboy all have huge destinies; she grows up with horror and PTSD after accidentally killing her family as a child, and Hellboy is kind of a father figure to her. So I can't help cringing when I hear about these movies. I think, if I go back and watch them some day, I'll have to just put them in a different world or I won't be able to get over my annoyance. But, man, Pearlman was brilliant!
The scene with Hellboy and Abe getting drunk talking about love is one of those scenes that when I saw it as a kid, was heartwarming in a way I couldn’t really explain
and the scene where hellboy kills that plant gaint makes me so sad
That’s your drunk ancestors talking
Shape of water prequel
Del Toro always has a touch of romanticism in his stuff
That scene and the one where the locker doors were beating the crap out of Hellboy are my top favorites, that one had me laughing hard.

Laurence! My man tossing in those Temple of Doom clips and I for one love ya for it buddy!
Personally, I vote you drink margaritas and throw them at cars, then post the videos.
I'd buy that on DVD. (Or VCD, whatever that was)
17:42. That was very wholesome lol
Omg.. the cod 4 quickscope montage throwback with 30 seconds to mars in the background was a real nostalgia moment..
The Angel of Death was the best creature design in this film. Props to Doug Jones again playing more than one creature in the same movie!!!🤟👏 Hope that they make that official Hellboy threequel and finish the trilogy in style (hey, I can dream, can't I?)
As a 2000’s kid, I specifically remember universal always having their website at the bottom of the logo. I guess I’m happy two Australian men took time out of their day to talk about this.
same
Loved it more than I remembered on the rewatch. I'm also all for directors/writers making new stories up for films instead of rehashing or changing comic stories, as long as the original creator approves somewhat (unless it's Alan Moore).
What if you do Fifth Element next? Just a random suggestion...
I am on my knees!!
and TOTAL RECALL/bladrunner - for the cyberpunk trilogy
Guillermo del Toro should direct A Little Mermaid.
That would be crazy.
Invincible's version of Hellboy is the best one. Damien Darkblood, like a Hellboy Constantine blend.
Invincible does the best versions of every supe type
So I know you guys probably won't read this but Del Tezzy was/is a big fan of Creature from the Black Lagoon (as mentioned). Around the time of Blade II he was in talks with Universal to remake it with the idea that the romance works out unlike in the original film. The execs were like ew no, and he moved on. Keeping the idea in his back pocket and finally just moving on from a remake and doing his own thing which was the right idea. It freed it from expectations and could make any changes he wanted.
But also at the time of Shape of Water they were going for the Dark Universe™ so the Creature was off limits. But also Del Toro was originally offered to be the Kevin Feige of the Dark Universe at one point so he probably couldve done it.
Sorta related the history of Creature from the Black Lagoon's history of failed remakes is interesting from John Landis to John Carpenter to James Gunn attempting remakes but never getting off the ground. Some interesting takes how the Creature would look to bad takes.
Fun fact - the drop in revenue for Hellboy 2 due to Dark Knight might actually be about more than just popularity. I'm not sure about other cinema chains, but the one I worked for (a major one) was constantly "incentivized" by studios to run their big movies on more screens, basically squashing any lesser films to the smaller screens, or even out of the theater altogether. Universal and WB were known for doing this, but in the past decade, Disney has really shifted into high gear with it - going so far as to basically threaten some chains with "Play this on 4 of 8/12 of 24 screens, or we refuse to provide you with the next kids movie/Star Wars/etc".
Im sure that kind of thing contributed.
The biggest corporations crush competition.
You two are the greatest podcasters to ever do it
Just a quick random fun fact, the bald guy at 3:50 with Rupert Evans, that's Daphne Keen's(X23) father, he is also an actor, he was on His Dark Materials with her.
I don't think anyone else mentioned it below, but Roy Dotrice played not only the Elf King in Hellboy 2.
Roy also played Ron perlmans' Father in 1987 TV series Beauty and the Beast.
It was nice to see them working on a project together .
"we could throw them at cars Mason!" made me laugh way more than expected.
He really needs to change the name, mate you're like 45, why are you still Hellboy? 8:04 that's a Hellboy, 8:22 that's a Hellman.
Hearing about Heath ledger’s performance alone was a real throwback 😩 for Heath ledger’s performance alone
Honestly my favourite TH-camrs just binge there videos endlessly
Love that James has brought up the rest of the blade trilogy twice in 3 weeks
Shoutout Lawrence for getting a chewin the fat sketch in at around 17:25! Love from Scotland 🏴
Another flawless edit in the books. Cheers, lads!
0:16 Yes, it was a thing. From 1998 to 2010, Universal put their website link underneath their on-screen logo for movies. In early 2010, they dropped the URL from their logo, and added a byline saying “A Division of NBC Universal”, which then became “A Comcast Company” in 2012, once they introduced the current logo for their 100th Anniversary.
Luke Goss stars in one of my favorite underserved movies...Interview with a Hitman. It is what it sounds like. And in it he plays the titular hitman who, up and down, looks, sounds and acts like Agent 47.
It's the closest we'll ever get to a GOOD Agent 47/Hitman live action movie.
And FYI Mason...you're not the only one who likes the Hellboy reboot. I'm also a fan.
Every Thursday night I get off work. And for 20 or so minutes. All my problems fade away.
Fantastic work Laurence. Had me in absolute stitches.
I just rewatched this movie for the first time since it came out. Great movie, the plot was good the weird creatures were beautiful such a shame there wasnt a 3rd one with Ron Pearlman.
When these two movies came out, I hadn't read 'Hellboy' comics, and they particularly make me want to. Over the last ten years, I've become an obsessive reader of the whole Hellboy universe, and now these movies frustrate me because they focus on elements that (to me) are the least interesting. Liz Sherman is one of my favourite characters in the comix. Having her reduced to a baby-making romantic subplot bums me out. She and Abe and Hellboy all have huge destinies; she grows up with horror and PTSD after accidentally killing her family as a child, and Hellboy is kind of a father figure to her. So I can't help cringing when I hear about these movies.
I think, if I go back and watch them some day, I'll have to just put them in a different world or I won't be able to get over my annoyance.
But, man, Pearlman was brilliant!
3:18 The Goon spotted. Great comic series. Hope I don’t die before the movie comes out.
I think its time for the dark knight trilogy, you both mentioning it got me excited and I was let down when I didn't find a caravan of garbage
