Talk:Damien - Omen II

Opinions
As one proceeds from Omen I to Omen II, the events in the movie start falling in a monotonic rhythm....one doesnt really feel like watching III, anticipating the recurrence of the same events. But yes, it a good movie. Especially heart-rending is the scene where Damien is forced to kill his his cousin Mark. One can empathize with him and feel the helpnessness of having to decide among life's priorities.

The entry on the first Omen pic has a list of deaths. Since these are a big part of the films' appeal (let's be honest), could somebody write one for Omen II? Notreallydavid 21:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Would it be better to have a more complete summary of the plot, the article has a spoiler warning but the summary reads more like a blurb or a trailer. I haven't seen the film but I could help out if needs be. cyclosarin 04:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Such lists should not be written and, if existing, be removed.
 * PS. Damien is not "forced to kill his cousin Mark" - he does so of his own choice. Str1977 (talk) 00:20, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Unsourced material
The following is unsourced information:


 * There is a song on one of Harry Connick, Jr.s platinum Christmas albums, the song "I Come With Love", that is based on a scene from Omen II.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 12:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The song, "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden was supposedly based on a nightmare Steve Harris had about this movie.


 * At the end of the section [|Crew] it says, "In later interviews, Hodges commented sanguinely on his experiences working on Omen II." There is no citation or reference for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:9E8:34D:800:ED5F:9CC8:91AF:D7F2 (talk) 14:49, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

"Proud but disgusted"?
Why would he be proud and also disgusted? Please explain this to me.--24.26.56.214 (talk) 23:20, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Grammar
The grammar in this article is some of the worst I've seen on Wikipedia...someone with more time than myself might want to fix it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.59.183 (talk) 00:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Leo McKern
Has it ever been explained why Leo McKern wasn't billed in The Omen nor this sequel? Maybe he had some religious objections to his name appearing on a demonic poster? It could be interesting. WHPratt (talk) 14:51, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Filming
When did filming began and when did it end?31.54.250.172 (talk) 18:11, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * AFI website says principal photography began in Chicago on 12 October 1977, and shooting ended in Israel in January 1978. Sorry for the late reply... Per$1$tenceofv1$1on (talk) 20:30, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Mike Hodges
Because there was a 'citation needed' message at the end of the 'Under Mike Hodges' section, I've added some interviews he gave years later where he talks about the film, though they don't entirely synch with the version of events in the article as it currently stands and I don't know if you could call his tone 'sanguine'.
