the legend of the golden army

Sequel to HELLBOY (2004, also del Toros baby) opens with a prologue on his origin (spewed from a dimensional rift during WWII and adopted by American military as defender against paranormal evil), then into a kooky sequence showing Hellboy as a uh, hell BOY (who still, surprisingly, looks like Ron Perlman but acts like Beaver Cleaver). As young Hellbie watches Howdy Doody, so too are we treated to a puppet show in old-school stop-motion as Hellbies adopted father (John Hurt, phoning in a cameo) reads him a bedtime story The Legend of the Golden Army, one of those completely illogical sagas that somehow transmogrifies into history (like the bible). Suffice to say, the Golden Army should not be woken from their endless slumber. Of course, thats JUST what a crazed albino guy does
