Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Problems

We have entries on the two films: Sword of Storms and Blood and Iron - this doesn't really add much and replicates most of the information there. Are there going to be more? If so this could be the central page for the series with a lot of the replicated information trimmed out. Otherwise I struggle to see the point.

I also don't understand how these can be direct to video films that get shown on TV. From the entry linked to: "A film that is released direct-to-video (also known as made-for-video and straight-to-video) is one which has been released to the public on home video formats (historically VHS) before or without being released in movie theaters or broadcast on television." (Emperor 02:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC))

Checking the blog it looks like there might be a third in the pipeline so I'd suggest this page is used to give an overview of the series and link to the longer entries. I've added sections and the relevant links. It might be worth keeping the plot here down to a paragraph though or things could bloat. I'll go and add links in from the main entries to keep everything tied together. This page needs a picture if anyone has a good one. (Emperor 02:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Meaning

Anyone know what this means "Both films, Sword of Storms and Blood and Iron, received the signature of Mike Mignola and Guillermo del Toro." It either isn't proper English ("got the approval of" perhaps?) or, if they actually signed it somehow, it isn't that worthy of note. (Emperor 01:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Iron Shoes?

IMDB lists a Hellboy Animated installment before The Phantom Claw titled "Iron Shoes". What the deuce is this? Is it a cromulent video? The S 04:02, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The Iron Shoes is an animated short that was released on the Blood and Iron DVD. It's taken from a short Hellboy comic and is replicated scene for scene. 70.236.18.82 17:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
