* A common depiction of Satan is an angel who was cast out of Heaven after rebelling against God and this Satan has ''quite'' a few gripes against the Heavenly Father. Kevin shooting himself is basically a rebellion against Satan and his grand plan. Quite a fitting dose of LaserGuidedKarma for Old Nick.
* Lucifer's rant against God [[VillainHasAPoint seems somewhat understandable]]...until you remember his other nickname: The Prince of '''Lies'''. Milton's own law is built around getting evil jerks acquitted through false testimony, which just shows how Satan is nothing but an UnreliableNarrator who spins to get his hands on the souls of others.

* Kevin claims to Milton that he would listen to jury deliberations from the courthouse men's room and make the proper adjustments to win cases. After rewinding time, Milton makes an adjustment to his case and intends to come at Kevin from a different angle (painting him as a hero who refused to defend a guilty client). Apparently they favor the same tactics.

** The funny thing is that considering the above Fridge Brilliance of Numerology, in one of the previous drafts of the script for the film, the Devil actually said the number 6. Considering the number of the beast, we know he loves 6s.

* There is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it visual gag in the scene where Kevin and John Milton are on the street of New York: a man carrying a box walks behind John Milton, with the label on the box visible over his head. The box reads: "HALO Lighting" hinting at Milton's true nature.

* Though it's highlighted a few times during the film, many people missed the Numerology. Kevin Lomax spent 5 years in a Florida court room. While there, he wins 64 straight cases. He goes to New York to continue his career. While there, he wins his 65th case, which was a health code case. And then he wins his 66th case which was about the business mogul committing multiple homicide. [[spoiler: It's then that Satan reveals himself and tries to convince Kevin to mate with his half-sister and produce the AntiChrist. Why? Because afterwards, Kevin would be entering his 6th year as a lawyer with 66 straight cases under his belt - meaning 666. The fact Milton tells Kevin that he was meant to lose the homicide case in favor of saving his wife, makes this even more apparent. Once Kevin chose to win no matter what, he sealed his fate.]]
* Kevin's mother mentions [[spoiler: that his father (John Milton) knew 'the bible, every word'. As the old saying goes, even the devil can quote scripture.]]

* When Satan [[PostRapeTaunt gloats]] to Kevin about having sex with Mary-Anne, he says that "on a scale of one to ten, ten being the most depraved act of sexual theatre know to man, one being your average Friday night run-through at the Lomaxes' household, I'd say, not to be immodest, Mary Ann and I got it on at about... seven." This after Milton raped her, left her with gashes all over her body, and left her so traumatized that she later [[DriventoSuicide committed suicide]]. Now imagine what a ten out of ten must entail.
