The mutants are supposed to have low tolerance to light and yet they run around carrying torches. [They have a sensitivity to sunlight and very bright lights. Torches would give off enough light for them to see, but not enough to hurt them.]

Mistakes
In the opening scene where Charlton Heston drives into a Deserted Los Angeles, he drives past at least 3 people walking down the sidewalk. The first person he passes is quite visibly holding up the traffic for the shooting. Another can be seen on the left of the screen when Heston puts the tape on. And one more can be seen in the wide shot of the street. Other than this, the film makers did a great of making LA look deserted. See more...
The Omega Man (1971) - 4 corrections
Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When Neville is fixing himself a drink at the bar, he plays an eight track tape. What's powering the tape unit and amplifier? [The same generator that powers everything else.]
When Neville first drives into his garage, all of the lights are on although he hasn't started the generator yet. Also, the electric garage door opener works. (Could be on batteries, but not likely.) [Why would that be unlikely? It would make perfect sense that he would want the garage door opener to work AND to have light in the garage when he gets home, so he would probably run them on a battery while he's out.]
After Neville shoots his rifle at the mutants, you see him going back into his house and holding the rifle by the barrel as he puts it in the corner. He would have burned his hand. [He only fires 3 or 4 shots, it would take quite a bit more to heat up the barrel.]
