Actor James Mason acted as a sponsor to the production for actor Sam Neill. Mason originally suggested to the film's producers that they should check out Neill. Producer Harvey Bernhard had Neill flown in to London for an audition, paid for by Mason. Neill later reimbursed Mason for the airfare. Neill drew on some of Mason's mannerisms for his performance and characterization.
At the time of filming, Sam Neill and Lisa Harrow developed an off-camera relationship that produced son Tim Neill.
(at around 1h) Stuntman Vic Armstrong claims, for the 2005 book of 'Guinness World Records', that his backwards 100 foot fall from a bridge was one of the scariest stunts he ever performed. The majority of Armstrong's jumps in the past had been less than 70 foot drops.
(at around 33 mins) The death of the first priest in the television studios proved immensely difficult to get right and ultimately took about two weeks to film.
Executive producer Richard Donner, who had directed The Omen (1976), had once considered directing the film, but was involved with legal problems involving the Salkind brothers, Ilya Salkind and Alexander Salkind, after being sacked from Superman II (1980).
"Damien Thorn: Oh my Father, Lord of Silence, Supreme God of Desolation, though mankind reviles yet aches to embrace, strengthen my purpose to save the world from a second ordeal of Jesus Christ and his grubby mundane creed. Two thousand years have been enough. Show man instead the raptures of Thy kingdom. Infuse in him the grandeur of melancholy, the divinity of loneliness, the purity of evil, the paradise of pain. What perverted imagination has fed man the lie that Hell festers in the bowels of the Earth? There is only one Hell, the leaden monotony of human existence. There is only one Heaven, the ecstasy of my Father's kingdom."
"Damien Thorn: Most people confuse evil with their own trivial lusts and perversions. Now, true evil is as pure as innocence."
