    • Trivia

    • Goofs

    • Quotes

      John: Hey, by the way, Nicky, check this out, what's Ozzy tryin' to say there?

      Nicky: John, absolutely nothing, the blizzard always came straight with his messages, but wrap your minds around this, gentlemen.

      [Pulls out a Chicago album]

      Nicky: Chicago!

      Todd: I love this song.

      Voice Of The Demons: I command you in the name of Lucifer to spread the blood of the innocent!

      Peter: Oh my God, Chicago kicks ass!

    • Crazy credits
      During the closing credits, flashes of the character whereabouts were explained. When they explain Nicky's mom, (Reese Witherspoon) a picture still of her is shown saying "Mom immediately fell in love with her new aerobics instructor... Chris Farley." Giving a tribute to Chris who died 3 years before the film in 1997. The aerobics reference is referring to his classic skit on SNL that will always be hilariously remembered. Adam and the rest of the SNL gang were great friends with Farley.
    • Alternate versions
      In the FOX 2004 presentation, many things were edited:
      • All references to Popeye's are cut, so "Popeye's Chicken is fucking awesome" becomes "Chicken is kickin'".
      • "Hitler's ass" was replaced with "Hitler's rear"
      • "The shit has hit the fan." shortens to "It has hit the fan".
      • A deleted scene of the peeper becoming bait and being eaten by a fish was added.
      • The asking of the gatekeeper whether there were boobs on his head was cut.
      • The Coke/Pepsi transformation was partially cut.

    Nowhere near as bad as you've heard
    Ever hear of a movie that is suppose to be the extreme of one sort or another that doesn't live up to its billing? Little Nicky is one of those films. Roasted upon its release as one of the worst films of all time Little Nicky turns out to be an okay comedy. Actually this is the kind of movie that has all of the ingredients to be a screamingly funny comedy, but somehow things don't work.

    Nicky, the son of the devil and an angel is sent to make his way in the world while one of his many brothers tries to take throne of Hell from their father. Casting everyone from Harvey Keitel to Rodney Dangerfield this is a film that fits into the Adam Sandler universe since several characters from some of his other films appear. Its a film that on star power alone should work, but it never catches fire. Sure there are laughs but on the whole nothing ever hangs together to form a full movie. I've seen the film several times and can't figure out what went wrong. Even Adam Sandler as Nicky, in one of the worst portrayals in screen history, isn't the reason this doesn't work. There is something else, some other reason.

    Still its worth seeing if you like okay comedies. It never scales the heights its ideas and bits say it should be reaching. If its on try it and see if its for you, you certainly could do worse.
