Trivia
Actor James Mason acted as a sponsor to the production for actor Sam Neill. Mason originally suggested to the film's producers that they should check out Neill. Producer Harvey Bernhard had Neill flown in to London for an audition, paid for by Mason. Neill later reimbursed Mason for the airfare. Neill drew on some of Mason's mannerisms for his performance and characterization.

Goofs
As stated in the first film, the Daggers of Megiddo must all be used in order to destroy Damien completely. One of them alone would not be enough, and yet the monks each take one of the daggers with them in their separate attempts to kill him.

Quotes
Damien Thorn: Oh my Father, Lord of Silence, Supreme God of Desolation, though mankind reviles yet aches to embrace, strengthen my purpose to save the world from a second ordeal of Jesus Christ and his grubby mundane creed. Two thousand years have been enough. Show man instead the raptures of Thy kingdom. Infuse in him the grandeur of melancholy, the divinity of loneliness, the purity of evil, the paradise of pain. What perverted imagination has fed man the lie that Hell festers in the bowels of the Earth? There is only one Hell, the leaden monotony of human existence. There is only one Heaven, the ecstasy of my Father's kingdom.

Watchable but of much lesser quality as its predecessors.

After watching the latest Damien movie The First Omen (2024), a prequel to the original The Omen with Gregory Peck I decided to rewatch all the movies about the Antichrist Damien Thorn. The prequel was not bad but not as good as the first movie. The second one was of the same quality as the prequel. The Final Conflict (The third Omen) was like I feared, just watchable but nothing else. Sam Neil is this time playing an adult Damien Thorn. Nothing wrong with his acting but you just don't get that evil feeling when Damien was a kid. Also the ominous soundtrack that was so typical in the other movies is this time of poor quality which results in just an average movie. Rarely sequels are getting better and since I just checked the ratings for the fourth movie I think I'll leave it at that. It was a fun ride, good to remember a classic horror movie. Sometimes you have to let it go instead of trying to milk a good story.
