Little Nicky
After the lord of darkness decides he will not cede his throne to any of his three sons, the two most powerful of them escape to Earth to create a kingdom for themselves. This action closes the portal filtering sinful souls to Hell and causes Satan to wither away. He must send his most weak but beloved son, Little Nicky, to Earth to return his brothers to Hell.

Ozzy Osbourne bites off Adrian's head and spits it into flask
Adrian and Cassius freeze Hell's gate and travel to Earth
A massive jump from the low point of Sandler's criticized early performance to the crowd-pleasing Ozzy Osbourne cameo climax.
Little Nicky follows a polarizing trajectory where Adam Sandler's widely-criticized performance drags down the early portions, but the film recovers with standout moments like the talking dog and especially Ozzy Osbourne's memorable cameo. While many reviewers found the overall experience disappointing and unfunny, specific sequences and celebrity appearances provided enough entertainment value to lift it into mediocre territory rather than complete failure.
