The Omega Man (1971) Official Trailer - Charlton Heston Movie 

Stephanie Bristol Me and my son said the same thing!

Us too. Did you spot the 9-11 easter egg?

You dad taught you well

12 Monkeys and A Boy and His Dog are two other gems.

Spot on covid 19 germ warfare omega man the last man

Best. Comment. Ever.

Fire stick & poppers to protect it too?!!

I really hoped for zombies. Now, it's just a farting dog. Thanks Corona

When you head to the Dollar store for toilet paper, make sure you wear your shades and mod safari jacket. What all stylish cool last men on earth wear

Brilliant

Hm, I'd bet he himself was expecting even less, or maybe wasn't expecting anything, whatwith the end of everything already.

The last man on earth 20 minutes into the film er NVM 😅

bro 💀

Darn those rights! How dare an ethical claim to freedom of action stand in the way of power!

We do to😁

From his dead cold hand ? 😃

It was just a 9mm

Well, in his defense, there were those pesky infected people....

Which touch the world today with the coronavirus plague

I'll take one for myself 😜

@@cheryldevine42 don't worry I'm working on a parody right now

Well they probably made one...the rich do love to clone!!!!

We really don't

He's one of my favorite actors who inspired me.

You got a bar with high end scotch? BAR in the corner?

I was born in 1970, same with me. Along with the Airport movies.

Yeah those were all pretty good. Throw in some Count Yorga, Blackula, Coffee, and I'm in on it..

I am Legend was literally based off of this film

You mean the 2 second shot of Lisa in the dark ? Hardly nudity .

I like the Andromeda Strain

The Smith & Wesson 76 is one mean mother.

No doubt about it. My parents took all but my youngest brother and me to see this when I was fifteen. My impression from seeing it that first time is 'why is he grabbing a bottle 🍼 of beer 🍺 from the fridge?' when in later years I came to realize it was the serum.

Watch Soylent Green (1973) with Charlton Heston, it's another of his great movies. It's loosely based from the book Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison.

Peter Delarosa ....AMEN!!!!

@Bobby Brady Agreed!!!!

At least the marketing team of I am legend didn't reveal the fact he wasn't the last man on earth in the trailer though🤣

Yes Richard Matheson also did. I am Legend.. Stir of echoes plus The Legend of Hell House and many more horrors but my favourite Book Bid Time Return which was also turned into a film and changed to Somewhere in Time starring the late Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour which is now a Cult Classic and put The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan on the map , the movie is still being played to this day on a annual Somewhere in Time event , Richard Matheson also had a cameo roll in this film ...So different from his horror stories..

That was downtown LA.

@Dylan O'Hara The movie was filmed in downtown Los Angeles. I'm not sure what you mean by New York City.

you beat me to it

Me after everybody has been changed into plastic dollies. 🔥🔥🎄🎄🎄😷😷😷😷

HAhahhahhhahhahhahhahahha

The virus . Is a killer .

Corona zombie .

When there's one roll left...and it starts a riot!

Yamon it's not cool when you gota blow stool

"💀•••Coronavirus, don't laugh I'm back!

@@m42037 not really.

@@jymyrionwashington6849

Really? Because the score had this heroes journey/western like feel to it that made it feel less scary.

Look at all them newspapers blowing around he didn't need it

What do you think is in the boxes that he crashed into in the garage.

@@martykarr7058 Wow your right I can see the word charmin on the boxes!!

🤭🤣🤣🤣🤘

🤣🤣🤣😭🤣🤣🤣

mkl62 I remember seeing the TV ads August 1971 and feeling desperation to see it but was only 11

Merica!

Flamethrower

or "The G-Shock Man"!

It hi hi

Or a cheap remake...'The Timex man'.

The Breitling man 😊

that's because his acting method is, Intense line delivery.. the only way he could have been better is if he could fight like Chuck Norris 😁

This is completely realistic today except for the goons in halloween costumes

The Last Man by Mary Shelley fits more of what you are trying to describe, since that one is literally about pandemic, not vampires.

Don’t forget El Cid the Spanish Crusader from Spain

@@m42037 no yeah, they'd all be wearing clown masks and ranting about how we "live in a society" (even if that "society" is gone)

S&W 76 and the MK 760 were basically clones of each other. Both are excellent subguns.

Heston knew his weapons

He was the president of the NRA

Don't forget that the handmade flashlight brackets. Chuck had his attachments before they were cool or practical.

I thought it was a swedish k?

I was wondering about that. They are scared of light but all carry giant flame torches. I'm just a little confused.

Not really serious 😕😒.

Cool story

@Bobby Brady i hated the Brady Bunch!

Yes I remember making phone calls in a phone booth in the 80s but they had doors.These phones in the movie didn't come into Australia until much later.

@@Yui-zb8fm Yes phone booths were much more common back then. I once heard they phased them out because some fat people were getting stuck in them. However in the movie they had to use a non booth public pay phone because unlike a phone booth, if it really was ringing it would have been audible from the distance.

I'm a millennial and I've used pay phones hundreds of times. Or maybe thousands. ???

Many millennials are pushing 40. Not too late to have used pay phones lots.

ImTheDaveman ~ The fx suck by today's standards? Because they aren't CGI? In my view they look more realistic. Aside from that, the movie is more about the story than special effects.

Yeah but story and character usually were better, we relied on more plot and talent than just bright colors and booms.

It's right here.

Really dope I suggest we invest in copper.

Soundtrack by Ron Grainer. Available on Amazon.

Not yet.

I would have been pissed 😤 If I saw this trailer before the movie.

If you're talking about Heston's disaster movies don't forget Earthquake!

Well also.

@ Sanford Willis: Although this film is itself a remake of an earlier Vincent Price film _The Last Man on Earth_ [1964].

Omega Man is based on the 1954 novel "I Am Legend" written by Richard Matheson, as was the 1964 film "The Last Man On Earth" and the 2007 film "I Am Legend". All three films were based on I Am Legend not on each other. I highly recommend checking out either the novel or the graphic novel version, it is really good, better than all three films, though Matheson himself co-wrote the screenplay for "The Last Man On Earth" with Vincent Price, and that is the version that is the most true to his novel, and to this date still the best film adaptation of the novel, Vincent Price's voice alone makes that film the best. Though all three films are great in their own unique ways, as each brings something new and different to the original novel.

I met Will Smith years ago-no comment. His version is nowhere near the same league as CH in 1971.

They are both better, who cares.

I Am Legend is a much better film. And Will Smith was great in it

@@atlboo98 yup, true.

Both movies are great. I enjoy watching both.

Give it a watch and you will understand.

Remake of the Vincent Price movie

I hope this is sarcasm

Way better then the movie "I Am Legend"!

Haha honestly I dont know whether I exaggerated or if my minds just changed since then but now my opinion is just this: Omega Man has a good concept, and an original one sure. Had it been in an age with graphics as good as today, it probably would've been a lot more interesting. But even in the story there is substance lacking imo, that I Am Legend avails to. The latter falls short maybe on that originality aspect (though again, you could say if it was released decades earlier it would've been something new)... as well as maybe over-Hollywoodesqueness, but even the hero dies in the end (in one of the versions) so it's not overly generic I don't think. All arts and even cultures are reproductions of others if you really want to go that far, so that's kind of a bleak outlook to have imo. Cheers!

If you have the chance, watch "The Last Man on Earth" (I believe its in the public domain). It stars Vincent Price. It's the first film version of this story, and is quite good.

Thomas Robinson me too same age, cool flick but scared me back then.😳

@The Elder find more important things to do with your time pops.

All three movies were based on the book I am Legend.

Not really.
