Slightly error in the plot summary

[edit]

The current plot summary describe Regan claiming to "be Pazuzu, a manifestation of the Devil Himself" but in reality, Pazuzu is never mentioned by name until the sequel. Instead, Regan simply shouts "AND I'M THE DEVIL! NOW KINDLY UNDO THESE STRAPS!"

If reference to Pazuzu is necessary in the plot summary itself, perhaps we could make reference to the Pazuzu statues in Iraq that also appear later on during the exorcism scene. 119.18.0.214 (talk) 09:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed I suppose this might be because Blatty himself had specified that the possessing demon was Pazuzu in the book but, you're right, that name is unmentioned in the film (Blatty was rather annoyed that everyone commenting on the film thought it was the Devil; that may be how it got there.

1975

[edit]

Abbythecat (talk) 23:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)as stated in Nat Sagaloff's exorcist legacy book, and clearly stated in exorcist 3, this movie is set in 1975. I have included this. Thanks. A by the at Abbythecat (talk) 23:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I told you on my talk page, this is fanon at best without any indication that the creators clearly meant for the death date on the tombstone in Exorcist III (based on a novel that was not written as a direct sequel) to be a retcon putting the events of the first movie two years later than its release date rather than, say, a mistake made by the production designer. I will be removing it from the article; as I said it's better just to leave any claimed year of the movie's plot out of the synopsis. Daniel Case (talk) 06:33, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer ALTs 0, 2, and 3, but I think even better hooks are sure to be available from the article (...was denounced as "hardcore pornography"; theatres arranged for ambulances to be on call; a viewer was "contaminated" because it was better than Psycho, etc.) ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:44, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
