- QuizWilliam Peter Blatty wanted the film to be titled simply "Legion", just like his novel of the same name. The producers, however, wanted the title to be "The Exorcist III" for commercial reasons. Blatty even tried to convince them to alter it to "The Exorcist 1990" in order to distance it from L'esorcista II - L'eretico (1977), which he despised, but had to settle for "The Exorcist III" notwithstanding.
- BlooperThe gruesome head cutting scissors were made for the movie and do not exist in real life. It is said in the movie that the scissors are spring loaded, so it takes very little effort to open them, but they produce a vicious force when being closed. This is not possible: the spring cannot produce more force when closing as it would take you to open it.
- Citazioni
Kinderman: This I believe in... I believe in death. I believe in disease. I believe in injustice and inhumanity, torture and anger and hate... I believe in murder. I believe in pain. I believe in cruelty and infidelity. I believe in slime and stink and every crawling, putrid thing... every possible ugliness and corruption, you son of a bitch. I believe... in you.
- Versioni alternativeSome European prints are rumored to include a scene depicting the violent killing of a priest, removed from the US version after unsuccessful sneak previews. A shot from this scene, showing the beheaded priest sitting on a bench and holding his own head in his lap, can be seen in the French publicity stills.

Set in Washington D.C. in the town of Georgetown a series of strange and bizarre murders start to happen and the killings are gruesome and they involve decapitations and mock style executions which rivals that of "Jesus being nailed to the cross". Enter Lt. Kinderman(the great George C. Scott) who's weathered worn burned out tough as nails detail detective soon starts to find that the murders are related to and rival that of the Gemini killer(an executed killer). Also the story and cases tie into a university hospital psych ward. Plus their is a scene in the hallway of a Nurses station that is freakish it may just be one of the scariest in horror film history.
Interesting is seeing how Patient X and a past form of Father Karras ties into the murders, also the performance from Brad Dourif is scary and spooky as the Gemini Killer. The acting and cast chemistry is all pro plus the scenes filmed were paced well and the camera work helped make the movie a knockout as many scary and tense moments have a slow build up only to surprise with quick and unexpected terror and fear! Finally watch this good well done sequel from 1990 and yes it was indeed scary proving that evil exist and is present in many forms thru people and their spirits, and for more insight read Blatty's complex novel "Legion".
