:popcorn:About to watch "Omen III: The Final Conflict" from 1981.

:whew: Looks like I can completely skip "Omen IV: The Awakening" from 1991 with it being made-for-TV movie & not even featuring the main character of the series Damien.

Fantastic film!
The remake was beyond pointless, oh yeah it was released on 6, 6, 2006..go figure.

Omen and damien are the only films I care about.
Final conflict had potential but the jesus christ back stabbing scene at the end was silly and cartoonish.

:shaq2: You're right. The remake was the exact same movie as the original just reshot with new actors & director.

Back in the DMV

  • Gregory Peck's son committed suicide two months before the start of filming; however, the act vowed to channel his grief into his performance as Robert Thorn.
  • In October 1975, Peck was on his way to London when his aircraft was struck by lightning.
  • A few weeks later, producer Mace Neufeld was on his way to the shoot when his airplane was also stuck by lightning while crossing the Atlantic.
  • Screenwriter David Seltzer took a plane journey that was also struck by lightning.
  • Producer Harvey Bernard narrowly missed being lightning while filming was underway in Rome.
  • A charter plane that Peck was scheduled to take crashed and killed everyone on board.
  • As it crashed, the plane struck a car on the road below, killing both occupants who happened to be the wife and two children of the plane's pilot.
  • Special effects supervisor John Richardson's girlfriend was decapitated in a car accident, mirroring the famous death of Jennings (David Warner) in The Omen.
  • Richardson claimed he saw a road sign off to one side of the accident that pointed out the town of Ommen: 66.6 kilometers away.
  • One of the Rottweilers used for the filming went berserk and attacked stuntman Terry Walsh, biting through his protective gear, although the man emerged unharmed.
  • A hotel that had been vacated the day before by director Richard Donner was bombed by the IRA.
  • The day after filming the baboon scene with Lee Remick and Harvey Stephens, a Windsor Zoo worker was killed by a big cat (claims vary as to whether it was a lion or a tiger).
Some of that stuff seems like a stretch, but that is an awful amount of lightning
:damn:

The whole series, plus that new prequel is on Hulu
