Mrs Baylock: Have no fear, little one... I am here to protect thee.
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.
Damien: Please, Daddy! No, Daddy, no.
Father Brennan: He must DIE, Mr. Thorn.
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)
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.
