2. Hellboy II pays homage to Guillermo's favorite movies:
Guillermo del Toro: Every movie that I referenced in the film--Harryhausen, Creature [from the Black Lagoon], Wizard of Oz, American Werewolf--whatever it is, those are movies I called my 12-year-old movies, because the idea of Hellboy II was, can I shoot a movie like a 12-year-old? I am 43, I’ve done X number of movies, but can I learn to just devolve emotionally into a guy who is so in love with these things that I shoot it with that much emotion…When you have that love for monsters that is unbridles and untampered by any adult concern in the emotional aspect.
