Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- Anecdotes(at around 1h 4 mins) The mathematics homework that the Devil removes from the classroom blackboard was effectively to prove Fermat's Last Theorem--a legendary problem from 1630 that was often the subject of stories about people selling their souls to solve it. The problem was eventually solved in 1995 by Andrew Wiles and colleagues (with computer, not Satanic, assistance).
- Gaffes(at around 1h 7 mins) When Elliot becomes Lincoln about to leave for his fateful visit to the Ford's Theater, his wife refers to "Our American Cousin" as an "entirely new play." In fact, "Our American Cousin" was first performed in 1858, seven years before Lincoln's assassination, and the performance which Lincoln saw was the play's thousandth.

Elliot's Cellmate: She's the devil, that one.
Elliot Richards: What?
Elliot's Cellmate: I said she's the devil... that lady cop.
Elliot Richards: Oh... yeah. I guess.
Elliot's Cellmate: So what are you in for brother?
Elliot Richards: Eternity.
Elliot's Cellmate: Ooooh... that's a long time. You must have done some really bad shit.
Elliot Richards: Yeah. I sold my soul.
Elliot's Cellmate: Hope you got something good for it.
Elliot Richards: As a matter of fact, I got nothing for it.
Elliot's Cellmate: Well, that's a really bad deal if you ask me.
Elliot Richards: Well I'm not asking you.
Elliot's Cellmate: Doesn't really matter, though. Can't sell your soul anyway.
Elliot Richards: Oh, really? Why do you say that?
Elliot's Cellmate: Because it doesn't really belong to you in the first place. No way, no how.
Elliot Richards: So who does it belong to?
Elliot's Cellmate: It belongs to God. That universal spirit that animates and binds all things in existence. The Devil's gonna try to confuse you, that's her game. But in the end, you're gonna see clear to who and what you are, and what you're here to do. Now, you gonna make some mistakes along the way, everybody does. But if you just open up your heart, and open up your mind, you'll get it.
Elliot Richards: ...Who are you?
Elliot's Cellmate: [smiles] Just a friend, brother. Just a really good friend.
- Autres versionsIn a streamed version of this in the UK, the following changes are made: During the opening credits, many (but not all) of the on-screen graphics describing the characteristics of various personalities and locations are removed completely and replaced with PGS subtitles that are positioned incorrectly in the usual subtitle location at the bottom of the picture and are not animated. The few in situ graphics that remain also have subtitles. There is a completely changed scene at the start of the "President" segment. During the basketball sequence, on-screen graphics and wipes for Fox Sports and the names of the commentators are removed. There are no subtitles to replace them. There is another missing, subtitled graphic at the end of the film.

The beginning is the best part of the film, and the end - with a dumb New Age message - is the worst. Along the way, the dumb Brendan Fraser's "Elliott Richards" learns some valuable lessons in his battle with the Devil. For selling his soul, so to speak, he gets seven wishes and we witness how he handles, or mishandles, these wishes. Much of it is pretty funny. Fraser is not a bad. He can play these goofy roles (i.e. "George Of The Jungle" and he can get serious and be effective, too, as in "The Quiet American.")
Overall, it's good lightweight entertainment. Don't expect much, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. At least, that's the way I found it.
