Linda Blair has shared that she thourougly enjoyed making this film. She added that she experienced a lot of stress making The Exorcist (1973) and appreciated getting the opportunity to spoof it.
When Father Mayii (Leslie Nielsen) is speaking to the class, sitting in the front row dressed in a different outfit, and with her hair done differently and wearing glasses is Linda Blair playing another role in the film.
After seeing an early cut of the film, Leslie Nielsen insisted more farts be added in post production. This is why the film opens with a loud fart.
In the Exorcist, Linda Blair played a girl named Reagan. In this movie her name is Nancy, a reference to First Lady Nancy Reagan.
