The Omen

Audio problem: Near the end of the movie, when the Ambassador is dragging the child up the aisle of the church, in several spots you hear the child scream but his mouth isn't open. (01:45:35)

Audio problem: When the baboons are attacking the car, Damien screams, but his mouth doesn't open.

Audio problem: When Thorn and Jennings are at the apartment in Italy they are talking about Bugenhagen and Jennings says that he is an exorcist and has read about him. However, his lips continue to move even after he has finished speaking. Although the camera is on Thorn and Jennings is blurred in the background, his facial movements are still easy to see.

Father Brennan: When the Jews return to Zion / And a comet rips the sky / And the Holy Roman Empire rises, / Then You and I must die. / From the eternal sea he rises, / Creating armies on either shore, / Turning man against his brother / 'Til man exists no more.

Trivia: The smile that Damien gives at the very end wasn't scripted. Originally, Damien was supposed to "look really mean," but Harvey Stephens couldn't keep a straight face: he started to smile, then laugh. Richard Donner decided that the smile made Damien look even more evil, so it stayed in the movie.

Question: How much did 5 or 6 year old Harvey Stevens understand about this story and his role in it while the film was being made?

Answer: A child that age would have very little understanding about the plot or his role and would be told little about it. He would simply respond to directions and cues.
