Vote up the details that hit the mark.

Dark fantasy movies are mostly known for their moody, supernatural set pieces and character designs, but fans online have noticed that there's more than meets the eye when it comes to small weapons and combat details. In 2004's Hellboy, for example, if you watch closely you can actually see Hellboy's glowing tracking bullet load into the barrel of his gun. In a similar vein from The Crow, Eric walks around with a bullet casing in his hair for a good portion of the movie. There are even weapon details that are difficult to spot, even when they're dangling right in front of us. In The Witches, Helga wears a pair of earrings in the shape of the Norse god Thor's famous hammer.

Check out this list of weapons and combat details fans spotted in dark fantasy movies, and don't forget to vote up your favorites!

    From Redditor u/ham_beast_hunter:

    In Hocus Pocus, it is explained that the witches couldn't set foot on hallowed ground. This is why Winifred turns to stone before blowing up, unlike her sisters which were in the air and never touched the cemetery grounds.

    From Redditor u/The-Weeping-Wallaby:

    In Labyrinth, Sarah actually does get the Two Door Riddle correct. What lead to her literal downfall was her phrase "It's a piece of cake." Every time she says this and implies the labyrinth is easy, the Goblin King makes the labyrinth more difficult for her.
