Factual error: In the cemetery, the skeleton of Gregory Peck's son is far too big to be that of a newborn, which it is supposed to be.
The Omen (1976)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Gregory Peck, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, Lee Remick, Harvey Stephens
Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) finds the triple 6 on his son, Damien's head, beneath his hair. The nanny tries to kill Thorn but he kills her. Thorn rushes to a church with his son and the police pursue. In the church, he's about to kill his son with the daggers and the police shoot. For a moment, we don't see if Thorn killed his son or not. The scene changes to a funeral and we see young Damien turn around and smile to the camera...

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.
More trivia for The Omen
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.
