Trivia
Adam Sandler's real-life dog, named Meatball, is the son of the dog that played Mr. Beefy in this movie. Meatball was Adam Sandler's best man at his wedding.

Goofs
(at around 16 mins) When Little Nicky exits Grand Central Terminal and spooks the street preacher, the traffic on the street disappears and reappears.

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 Farley who died 3 years before the film, in 1997. The aerobics reference is referring to his classic skit on Saturday Night Live (1975) that will always be hilariously remembered. Adam Sandler 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.

Connections
Edited into Adam Sandler Goes to Hell (2001)

This doesn't deserve the low rating

Little Nicky is the story of the son of an angel and "the" devil. It is not a smart comedy but it is hilarious and a good time. Just hang back and enjoy. It is definitely funny and the cameo's make it worth it. Stars like Ozzy and a good sh*t-ton of heavy metal music make for a good time. If you have some portion of morbid humor and like some heavy metal, I'd say bring some friends over and have a good time.
