- QuizClive Barker had developed elaborate back-stories for the Cenobites in the first film, though their origins were never explored. In this film, he wanted to make sure that, at the very least, the audience understood that the Cenobites were once human, and that their own vices lead to their becoming demons. This element was meant to underline the story of Frank (Oliver Smith) and Julia (Clare Higgins) and their corruption by lust, with the latter intended to become the ultimate villain of the series, but Pinhead proved much more popular with audiences, and thus became the center point in further sequels.
- Blooper(at around 1h 2 mins) When Kirsty is in the maze, she runs into a brick wall which is obviously fabric.
- Versioni alternativeThe UK cinema release was identical to the U.S R-rated version which removed around 2 minutes of graphic violence including various scenes of blood spurts, more explicit footage of the creations of Pinhead and the Channard cenobite, and nearly a minute from the resurrection of Julia. The 1990 UK video version then lost a further 7 secs of BBFC cuts with edits made to shots of the bloody Julia embracing the madman on the mattress and a brief shot of a bound topless woman, though confusingly the 1999 video release was cut further with an extra minute of sound edits replacing some of the previous cuts. The full unrated version was passed uncut by the BBFC in 2004.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Tiresome sequel picks up shortly after the events in the first film as Kristy (Ashley Laurence) wants to journey to Hell to try and save her father. Unfortunately for her Julia (Clare Higgins) is back as well and after getting her skin back she sets out for Hell where we're going to have a battle. I know this film has a large group of fans but I'm certainly not one of them. I will admit that it's always a good idea to start a sequel soon after the events in the first film but to me everything that needed to be told was done so in the original and this film just comes off as something made in order to make more money. Again, I'm sure fans would say everything that happens here is logical and carries on the original story but I just don't see it that way. This "sequel" really doesn't start to nearly the forty-minute mark and that's because we get several recaps of the first film and we have to get all the characters from that film back in action. Once we get to Hell nothing really picks up as we get all sorts of bad special effects with fake looking zaps and lasers. I think the biggest problem with the film is its screenplay as you never really can tell where the movie is headed or what it's trying to do. It just seems like a film that shows us one ugly scene after another hoping that we take something from it but usually we never do. What the film does have going for it are the gore scenes, which there are plenty of and especially if you watch the unrated version. Gorehounds, such as myself, will at least be able to sit through everything for the gore as we get countless scenes of stabbings, cuttings, flesh ripping and various other forms of gore. The highlight of the film has to be the sequence where Julia comes back from the dead but even this here isn't nearly as good as the sequence in the original with Frank. The performances are decent if nothing overly great and the same can be said about the direction. This is far from one of the worst movies ever made as there's some decent stuff here and there but in the end I couldn't help but feel no one knew where this movie was headed and why we were even bothering to get there.
