Trivia:

When Dani, a cop, queries in Internet chat whether anyone has come across homicides in which the body's heart was ripped out, he is answered by "Joseph_1995". In the original movie, The Prophecy (1995), Joseph is the name of one of the police officers investigating the murder of an angel whose heart was ripped out.

Quotes:

John Riegert: It's done. For now.
Allison: Where is he?
John Riegert: Belial? He's where he belongs. With Me.
[looks up at sky]
John Riegert: God created the world in seven days. This is the eighth. Remember, there are still so many out there that despise you. And your kind.
Allison: Why?
John Riegert: Because of what you are. And more than that, what you might yet become.
Allison: What about you? Do you despise me?

Movie Connections:

Follows The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000) (V)

Not bad, but not as good as the original

I thought the movie was good considering that we're talking about a movie that obviously can never measure up to the original. I was a skeptic at first, but after seeing it, I now have a little more faith that maybe the movies would get even better and by the time 2307 comes, we might get an awesome Prophecy movie.

Joking aside, not a bad movie, go rent it...really!

The acting was descent, could have been more or better special effects, the plot was definitely interesting..a few good twists. I recommend that if you're a die hard Prophecy fan and wont watch unless Walken is in it, don't bother, but those of us who aren't, just plain see it for the sheer fun of a new movie.
