help Little Nicky FAQ
Who plays Nicky and his family in Little Nicky?
Adam Sandler stars as Nicky, the awkward son of Satan played by Harvey Keitel. His escaped brothers are the scheming Adrian (Rhys Ifans) and the brutal Cassius (Tommy 'Tiny' Lister), whose flight to Earth forces Nicky's mission.
Why did Little Nicky flop at the box office?
The 2000 New Line Cinema release grossed roughly $58 million worldwide against a reported production budget of around $80 million, making it a clear commercial miss. It came during a rough patch for Sandler between his late-'90s hits and his 2000s rebound.
Why does Nicky talk with a twisted jaw in Little Nicky?
The running gag is explained in the film: Cassius hit young Nicky in the face with a shovel, permanently disfiguring his jaw and causing his slurred speech. It's one of the movie's most quoted bits of backstory.
Does Ozzy Osbourne appear in Little Nicky?
Yes, Ozzy Osbourne cameos in the climax in a nod to his infamous bat-biting notoriety. The film is also packed with other cameos, including Henry Winkler being tormented by bees, fitting its heaven-and-hell comedy premise.
