(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).
There is a deleted scene that can be seen on the DVD, which shows Elliot using one of his wishes to become a rock star, playing in a metal band and using a British accent. It was cut out because of images of drug use (Elliot takes a bong hit on stage and Alison tries to kill herself by swallowing pills), foul language (Elliot says a certain four-letter word a number of times), and sexual content (Elliot and Alison start to have sex right in the back room). It can be accessed on the DVD by going to the second Special Features page, highlighting the top choice, and clicking right. A devil on Elizabeth Hurley's shoulder should light up.
According to producer Trevor Albert, the schoolgirl outfit that the Devil wore was actually owned by Elizabeth Hurley.
In longer versions of the film, Elliot was so pathetic that preview audiences squirmed. It was decided that a little went a long way so it was trimmed down.
The scene in the classroom where Elizabeth Hurley is teaching was actually shot in London, England and was a re-shoot of the same scene. However, due to having already starting work on The Mummy Returns (2001), Brendan Fraser was only available for a day or two in between, so director Harold Ramis and his crew had to travel to England and shoot the scene.
"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... yea. I guess. Elliot's Cellmate: So what are you in for brother? Elliot Richards: Eternity Elliot's Cellmate: Oooo... that's a long time. You must have done some really bad shit. Elliot Richards: Yea. 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."
"Elliot Richards: I wish I were the most sensitive man in the world. The Devil: [Smiling] Right. Okay. Elliot Richards: Oh, wait! I wish I were the most *emotionally* sensitive man in the world. The Devil: Damn. I was hoping you wouldn't catch that. I could've had a lot of fun with that one."
