Hey guys, I'm trying to compare the Hellboy Blu-ray to the Hellboy DVD (I don't have either) as far as special features go, but I'm having a tough time. It looks like the Blu-ray is missing some special features from the DVD, is that correct? Namely, I notice the DVD has two commentaries, and the Blu-ray has only one. Anything else missing from the Blu-ray?

Thanks!

The BD of the director's cut only features the following from the three-disc DVD:

Commentary with Director Guillermo Del Toro
Deleted Scenes with Director Commentary
Hellboy - The Seeds of Creation (A two-and-a-half-hour documentary)
VFX How-To's
Make-up and Lighting Tests
Scott McCloud's Guide To Understanding Comics

While the DVD set adds:

Composer's Commentary with isolated score
Video Introduction by Guillermo del Toro
DVD ROM: Director's Notebook
Eight Branching DVD Comics by Mike Mignola
Set Visits and Factoids
Expanded Storyboards: picture-in-picture storyboard track
Hellboy: The Seeds of Creation
Four Animatics
Five Board-A-Matics
Scene deconstruction
Four storyboard to film comparisons
Maquette Rotations Gallery
Poster campaign
Filmographies
Cast Video Commentary
Production Workshop featurettes
Q&A Archive
Video Introduction by Ron Perlman
Production Design Photo Gallery
Mike Mignola Pre-Production Artwork
Conceptual Art Galleries

The Blu-Ray is also missing the theatrical cut (AFAIK), and the accompanying audio commentary by Guillermo Del Toro and creator Mike Mignola.

Wow, the Blu-ray for this got the shaft. Thanks for the help, guys. Now I don't know what to do. Haha.

I's a great movie and a great transfer. To me, it's a movie that belongs on Blu.
Go on ebay and buy the dvd as a companion disc for a couple of bucks (it's very. very cheap on there).

Are you buying it for the movie or for the extras? For me extras are just that "extra". I really don't care. In fact for the vast majority of movies I own I would prefer less expensive discs and little to no extras.

Like Ignohipopo said; grab a used 3 disc set for the extras, put the movie disc in a 1 disc case and donate to the library, keep the extras discs.

get it on blu, can be found pretty cheap now (under $10) and has a demo worthy transfer imo.
