- Quotes
High Priest: I forget what we're doing tonight.
First Priest: You're sacrificing a virgin to the rain god Mole.
High Priest: What for?
Second priest: Rain, what else? Rain.
[to second priest]
Second priest: He's passed it.
First Priest: We'll have to elect ourselves a new one.
High Priest: Rain? Oh, yes, of course. Of course, rain. Isn't that little Ruth? Why are we sacrificing her?
First Priest: She's the only virgin we could find on such short notice.
Second priest: If we had more time...
First Priest: Even then it wouldn't be easy. They're very hard to find.
High Priest: But I've known little Ruth since she was knee-high to a cricket.
Second priest: We've sacrificed chickens, sheep, and bulls and they didn't work.
- Crazy credits"For dramatic effect, we have taken poetic license with some of the events of the mighty epic of Noah and the Flood..."
- Alternate versionsIn Germany, there are two different versions of the first part. One of them is a cut-version.

That said, even as an adult movie, this is a completely unredeemable film. The script is stupid, and the story is so twisted and convoluted that it would hardly be recognizable as a Bible story at all if it weren't for the big boat and the pairs of animals. If they wanted to do a Sodom and Gomorrah movie (not that I think that would go over well in today's political climate, but I'd like to see it anyway), they could have done one, and not tried to throw that event (which was a good thousand years, at least, after Noah's Flood) in with the flood. The script is tasteless and stupid, the acting (especially by Mary Steenburgen) is wooden. Even the scene with the animals, which is prettily-enough done, isn't enough to make this a movie worth watching. Give this one a miss, and definitely DO NOT get it for your kids.
