Opened in movie theaters 42 years ago today:
OMEGA MAN (Charlton Heston, Rosalind Cash, Anthony Zerbe; directed by Boris Sagal)
Review: “There’s an obligatory motorcycle chase (well done) and a creepy interlude in a ghoul-infested wine cellar before the movie sort of bogs down. Not even a shot of Heston in the obligatory crucifixion pose can quite mend things.” —Roger Ebert, 1971
Trivia: Based on a novel by Richard Matheson.
Quote: “Barbarians? You call us barbarians? Well… it is an honorable name. We mean to cancel the world you civilized people made. We will simply erase history from the time that machinery and weapons threaten more than they offered. And when you die, the last living reminder of hell will be gone.”
