    David Warner is one of the most underrated actor. He has done many films, animated. Etc. He has such an iconic voice.

      He is probably as underrated as they come! He more than holds his own in his numerous scenes with Gregory Peck.
      He was also great in 'Cross of Iron'.

      He wasn't a total loser. He won an Emmy for something, some WW 1 anti-war monolog. He had a supporting role in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bulldust.

    It must have been hard for Gregory Peck on that chair in 1975 talking about the omen, because his son had just committed suicide in real life.

    I caught a comment on a UA-cam upload to do with The Omen, probably an excerpted scene, from years ago, with someone who said that he was there during the filming and he stated that they used helicopters to generate the winds as the priest was running through the park. They go the extra yards in the production because they decided that they specifically needed storm conditions to go with the overcast weather, in order to correctly nail the scene.

    Gregory's reaction at 4:20 is like that of a parent facing some stiff criticism of their child at a parents-teacher meeting :-o

    The glass was horizontal because when they tried to do it vertically in tests the glass would only drop like a leaf. You couldn't rely on the way it would fall. The FX guys suggested they could do it horizontally and Donner agreed. The scene was then changed to what we have now.

      @@olympicslondon2012 i didn't like Damien too that serie was a little boring but the references to the first movie were a boom and I didn't saw the TV Series from 1995 but i saw the pilot and it's a little boring i don't see deaths and in imbd there's a movie that is unreleased and it's called "The First Omen" and it's an Omen Movie too but it's not released so maybe it is Omen V?

    Revelation 13:18 states that if one is wise and has an understanding to count the number of the beast, which is also the number of a man (imitating Son of man, Jesus Christ), the number comes to 666.

    I've always suspected David Seltzer as the person who raped Corey Haim on the set of his movie Lucas. Other good examples of *Pedophiles* who have directed legendary Horror movies are Roman Polanski and Victor Salva.
