* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The film's release date was October 7, 1977 which, in America & Canada would be abbreviated as 10/07/77, so the last three digits would read "777". This is another rift on ''Film/TheOmen1976''; which this movie is meant to, in a sense, parody, contrast, and also neutralize. The Omen was released on the sixth day of the sixth of 76: 666. This is meant to be released on 777 which is a holy number by contrast.

The religious fanatic who wants Jerry to give her his "golden staff" has more lines than Pleasence does.
