Section 2 of 2 - Prev - Next


    beneath.  The first surgeon pulls the mask and cap away from its face -
    it is Pinhead.  His colleague does the same.  It is the female cenobite.

    KIRSTY  : Oh, fuck.

    She's had too much experience with these two to hesitate.  She grabs
    Tiffany's arm and bursts through the double doors to the corridor.

    As Kirsty and Tiffany are being chased by the Cenobites back to the
    elevator, the overhead pipes begin to drip blood, instead of water.  They
    reach the elevator and tumble into it before the Cenobites manage
    to catch them.  They start going up in the elevator, and reach the 
    ground floor.  As the elevator door opens, Chatterer lunges at them from
    outside.  Kirsty screams, but because of the eagerness of his lunge they
    are able to get around him as his impetus carries him to the back of
    the elevator.  The doors begin to close, and Chatterer turns to come back
    out at them, putting his hand out.  The doors close on his fingers, and 
    slice them off.

    Kirsty and Tiffany run back and the movie now continues from the scene
    where the hospital ward is filled with patients trying to open the
    box (and where the evil Dr. Channard comes through the window and says
    "the Doctor is in").

::  [After Pinhead is killed and his throat sliced open, there is a small
     scene as Kirsty and Tiffany burst out into the corridor and almost
     fall over the patient in the wheelchair]

    PATIENT: So what, girly?  It's OK for an ego-trip but it just doesn't
	     get the job done.

    Shaking their heads at the insanity, they run up the corridor.

::  [At the end when we see Kirsty and Tiffany walk up the garden path
     out of the hospital, only Tiffany goes - Kirsty stays behind with
     her father who is making a rapid recovery]

    KIRSTY : So.  What're you going to do?  Open up a games-shop somewhere?
	     Sell jigsaw puzzles?
    TIFFANY: Oh, yeah.
    KIRSTY : Well . . . g'bye.
    TIFFANY: It's been Hell.

    Tiffany turns and walks down the long path to the hospital gates.  Kirsty
    turns and re-enters the institute.  The camera tracks back to the window
    of the recovery room and we watch through the window as Kirsty enters
    the room.  She bends to kiss her father's cheek.  Larry slips an arm
    around her shoulders and they embrace.  The camera moves away again.

::  [Different ending; instead of the pillar rising out of the mattress,
     Julia does!]

    Julia is fully fleshed, fully skinned, and fully dressed.  She is in
    a replica of the dress Channard bought for her, but this one is jet
    black.  She looks fabulous.  As the workman stands open-mouthed, her
    feet clear the mattress.  But they don't stop there.  She slows to a 
    graceful halt about six inches above the mattress.  She stretches and
    flexes her arms sensually.  Then her head swivels and her excited,
    aroused eyes meet those of the workman.

    JULIA: I'm Julia.  Love me.

    Suddenly, her head tips back and, accompanied by Julia's delighted
    laughter, a wide beam of Hell's black light flies at the ceiling from her
    open mouth.  Instantaneously, it spills across the ceiling and falls,
    like a fountain of blood, across the screen.  Complete blackness, THE
    CREDITS ROLL.



>>07 GOOFS  ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Trick us again, child, and your suffering will be legendary even in Hell."


::  Hellraiser  ::::

 1  The two delivery men have had their voices dubbed with American accents.

 2  Scene where the Engineer chases Kirsty down the corridor in Hell.
    Watch for the point when you see a long shot of the corridor, and the
    Engineer in the distance, coming towards you.  You can see the trolley
    the creature is being pushed on, right down to the wheels on each side.

::  Hellbound  ::::

 1  The two policemen wandering around the Cotton house have American
    accents, and are wielding handguns, not something seen around London.
    They also make mention "Downtown", which is Americanised.

 2  Scene where Dr. Channard is being turned into a Cenobite.  He is
    wearing a tie.  On some frames when he is being injected with blue/red
    fluid you see his buttons only, and he is not wearing a tie.

 3  Scene in Hell where Kirsty slams herself against a corridor wall as
    she nearly gives up in desperation; Tiffany is with her.  When Kirsty
    hits the wall (twice), one can see the fake wall wobble.

::  Hellraiser III  ::::

    When the patient explodes on the hospital bed at the start of the
    movie, the sequence of shots is: exploded -> still alive -> exploded.

Australia   |  R (18+) | Roadshow Home Video   | 2319 RHV            | uncut

The UK (The Video Collection VC 3401) version contains a 30 minute interview
with Clive Barker called "The Art of Horror".  In this he reveals the
inspiration and influences behind his unique approach to the Art of Horror.
It was published by Zig Zag Films/Hollywood Canada Productions in 1992,
(ISBN 0 7921 2791 9).  There is no catalogue number.

The US (Starmaker 99102) version is a collector's edition, which features
interviews with Clive Barker, and the people that played Larry, Julia and
Kirsty.  It also contains the original TV commercial.

The US (Starmaker 80254) version of Hellraiser is available together with
the US (Starmaker 80255) version of Hellbound in a double pack called
"The Clive Barker Collection" (Starmaker 29001).



::  Hellbound  ::::

    Three releases exist; the first two do not feature the extra scene.

   cut(1) - This version is heavily cut, and does not feature the following
	    gore scenes:

		* Hammer nailing in Pinhead's nails.
		* Dr. Channard Cenobite slicing patient's hand off.

	    The following scenes are still present, but with most gore cut:

		* Browning slashing himself with the razor.
		* Tiffany experiencing her flashbacks.
		* Dr. Channard becoming a Cenobite.
		* Blood draining when Pinhead's throat is slashed.

   cut(2) - Normal gore.  This is what most "uncut" versions of Hellbound
	    claim to be.

    uncut - This version is extremely rare, and mainly bootlegged.
	    Features an extra scene in Hell where Kirsty finds herself
	    in a normal-looking room she associates with her childhood;
	    a framed photograph of her parents is displayed on a bureau.
	    She admires the photo and looks yearningly at her mother.
	    After taking a short look around the room, she finds that
	    Julia has replaced her mother in the photo.  Suddenly, it
	    begins to ripple and a bevy of cockroaches burst forth from
	    the frame.  Roaches crawl forth from behind the bureau,
	    toppling it, and she screams.  This scene is inserted
	    during the spinning shot of Kirsty screaming, but before
	    the Cenobites appear.  A subsequent shot of Kirsty running
	    along a hellish path with Tiffany is also slightly extended.


    NO version contains the 'surgeons scene'. The filming was never finished.

::  Hellraiser III  ::::

    uncut - Features brief extra footage of a topless girl dancing in
	    The Boiler Room, as well as two new scenes:

	    * Immediately after Terri moves out from Joey, there is a scene
	      inside the Boiler Room nightclub where a couple are seen buying
	      some drugs from a drug dealer.  Terri is in the Boiler Room,
	      where she witnesses a couple in love, which makes her even more
	      lonely.  Next, she purchases some coffee, and looks up to
	      see JP who says "Hey baby, glad you could make it."  This
	      new scene ends here; next JP is seen telling Terri to "come
	      on in" to his room.  (length of scene: 1:07).

	    * When Elliot tells Joey about his past, they are standing around
	      a campfire.  There is a new scene immediately before the
	      footage from Hellraiser II (Elliot playing with box at start),
	      in which Elliot is seen buying the box in an Indian bazaar
	      (this is new footage, and has not been reused).

    "I was bored.  I'd done everything.  I'd gone to the limits.  There
     was nothing left to experience.  At least nothing I could buy on
     Earth.  They tortured me here.  In this room.  The Cenobites.  The
     creatures the box set free.  Sometimes I think they're still here.
     Just behind the walls.  Them and their hooks and their beasts.  Just
     waiting to break out again.  They tore me apart.  They gave me
     experiences beyond the limits.  Pain and pleasure, indivisible.
     They took my body, but my spirit . . they left that here.  In the
     boards, in the walls.  Watching the world, but not able to touch it."
