Visible crew/equipment: When Peck is falling down the stairs with the kid, you can see the back pad through his coat.
The Omen (1976)
1 picture
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Gregory Peck, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, Lee Remick, Harvey Stephens
Visible crew/equipment: When the ambassador and the photographer are in the cemetery getting attacked by the dogs there are men standing behind a tree. I'm assuming they're the trainers - they are located when the photographer is trying to hop the fence. Look in the back right hand corner - there are about two or three men standing there. (01:21:15)
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.
