    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Harvey Stephens, as Damien, was largely chosen for this role from the way he attacked Richard Donner during auditions. Donner asked all the little boys to "come at him" as if they were attacking Katherine Thorn during the church wedding scene. Stephens screamed and clawed at Donner's face, and kicked him in the groin during his act. Donner whipped the kid off him, ordered the kid's blond hair dyed black and cast him as Damien.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 26 mins) Toward the end of the film, Jennings says that the place name Megiddo derives from the term Armageddon. Actually, it is the other way around - "Armageddon" is a bastardization of "Har Megiddo", which, in Hebrew, means simply "mountain of Megiddo". According to Revelation 16:16, this would be the site of the last battle in history.
    • Quotes
      • Young nanny: Look at me, Damien! It's all for you.
      • [she jumps off a roof, hanging herself]
    • Crazy credits
      Closing credits epilogue: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666."

      Book of Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 18
    • Alternate versions
      In the Swedish version, the scene showing Jennings being decapitated has been cut by 11 seconds.
