Quotes
Father Spiletto:
The child is dead. He breathed for a moment. Then he breathed no more. The child is dead. Dead. The child is dead.
Goofs
In the first scene when Robert Thorne is being driven through Rome, the time is specified as 6.00AM and the date is June 6th. The sun rises in Rome at 5.30am at that time of year, which would mean it was reasonably light outside, but Robert is being driven in the dark.
Crazy Credits
Opening credits prologue: ROME JUNE 6TH-6AM
Alternate Versions
SPOILER: Near the end, when Robert has Damien in the car in his driveway, scenes of the Rottweiler and Mrs. Baylock attacking one more time were filmed but ultimately cut. Originally, Robert killed her by running her over with the car twice. Director says he cut it because the scene "went on forever." However, the idea was later loosely re-used for the 2006 remake, .
