    • Trivia
      This film briefly interrupted Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)'s 15-week reign at the number 1 spot at the box office in October 1977. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) then returned to the top spot the following week.
    • Goofs
      When God makes it rain inside Jerry's car, the shots of Jerry taken from Jerry's left side show his hair to be dry, but the shots taken from his right side show his hair to be soaking wet. These shots alternate several times, always with the same discrepancies.
    • Quotes
      • Jerry Landers: How can you permit all the *suffering* that goes on the world?
      • God: Ah, how can *I* permit the suffering?
      • Jerry Landers: Yeah!
      • God: I don't permit the suffering. You do! Free will. All the choices are yours.
      • Jerry Landers: Choices? What choices?
      • God: You can love each other, cherish and nurture each other, or you can kill each other. Incidentally, "kill" is the word. It's not "waste." If I meant "waste", I would have written "Thou shalt not waste." You're doing some very funny things with words, here. You're also turning the sky into mud. I look down, I can't believe the filth. Using the rivers for toilets, poisoning My fishes. You want a miracle? *You* make a fish from scratch. You can't. You think only God can make a tree? Try coming up with a mackerel. And when the last one is gone, that'll be that. Eighty-six on the fishes, goodbye sky, so long world, over and out.
