Corrected entry: When his father realises Chuy is missing from his bedroom, he phones the police and is told they can't do anything for 48 hours. It is inconceivable that the police would refuse to act when a child of about 12 goes missing. (00:45:00)

Continuity mistake: When Peter and the subway guy crash down from the wooden platform, Peter's glasses are broken. Later on we see him fix the electricity with his glasses, and now they are fine.

Trivia: Director Guillermo del Toro disowned the theatrical edition after repeated creative clashes with producer Bob Weinstein, who notoriously made numerous and often unreasonable demands of the production, including dictating which scenes del Toro could shoot and forcing del Toro to cut several key sequences in editing, which lead to to many of the intended themes of the film becoming lost. Years later, del Toro was granted permission to use what little deleted footage could be recovered to make a pseudo director's cut that re-instated several key scenes absent in previously released versions. Guillermo del Toro has since said that he is proud of and enjoys this second edition of the film, as it is closer to his intended vision, though it is still missing some sequences that he wasn't allowed to film.
