Hellboy is a terrible shot, he says as much in the first movie.
I don't remember anything about the first movie, except for Kroenen. If Hellboy'd said that he was a terrible shot once the jumping bean was released, that would've been good. But he didn't!
Why was he carrying a baby? Same reason he blasted himself out of the window -- he wants to be liked and accepted and to be a hero.
That, I can see.
Besides, movie logic -- they wanted a big monster to fight.
No excuse.
At least you didn't ask about why the prince was in that scene, talking to HB on the top of the hotel sign, which I thought was pretty obvious but is a common question I've seen elsewhere.
That didn't bother me, but my gf was annoyed that Hellboy didn't try shooting the prince just then. I don't remember seeing Hellboy run out of ammo.
Jill would've killed the redshirts, and Abe, if she'd flame on'd right off.
Which is why she should've said right off, "Get out, I'm going to fry them all."
Besides, killing BPRD redshirts is a kind of a running joke, I've heard. In the one BPRD graphic novel I've read, they were just cannon fodder.
That'd be fine, but they took too long to die. Too long like the hallway scene.
Last one I've seen answered by someone else, and went something like "do you take the bullets away from a police officer just because a criminal might get it?" Dude was clearly convinced his people could kill his son, otherwise he wouldn't have sent them all to their death.
I see. The king should've had his men examined for stormtrooper syndrome. Then again, that's to be expected.
The real inconsistency there is why didn't the princess challenge her brother? I mean, what is he going to do, kill her? [/quote
Good point. But I'd say the reason for her not challenging the prince is that, when it comes to her brother, the princess just can't say no. If you know what I mean.
