Adam Sandler's real-life dog, named Meatball, is the son of the dog that played Mr. Beefy in this movie. Meatball was Adam Sandler's best man at his wedding. Sadly Meatball passed away at the age of 4 from a heart attack four years after this film was released.
(at around 9 mins) Adrian's line, "better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven," is taken from John Milton's epic literary work "Paradise Lost" (1667).
