However, probably the most memorable musical moment from the original movies is Ron Perlman’s Hellboy and Abe Sapien’s (Doug Jones) drunken rendition of Barry Manilow’s “Can’t Smile Without You” in Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
From the exotic Spanish rock of Los Lobos’ “Cambia Raza” when we first see David Harbour as Hellboy in Tijuana, a wrestling sequence set to the obvious choice of Scorpion’s “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” and the various peppering in of symphonic mastery from the likes of Mozart or Beethoven, the song choices in the 2019 Hellboy fit every moment during which they appear almost perfectly.
