I am Legend / Omega Man / Charlton Heston / EODM Eagles of death metal

[peterp21]

Love Heston, love him just blasting away with the machine gun. Great film from Hes's sci-fi days.

[rayba47]

at the 24 or 25 second mark, if you own the actual movie you can see theres a guy walking down the street plain as day, to the left of charlton hestons head. blurry in this video though.

and all this time he was wasting playing chess with the roman version of a mannequin from Today's Special.

[shraman108]

Great band, excellent movie. I like the way you think.

[SH4R9Y]

The Original film was The Last Man On Earth starring Vincent Price Then it was Omega Man Then Iam Legend.

[superhornet69]

All the garbage and crap right out in the street looks just like any run-down, poverty-stricken big inner city of America today, especially some war-zone shithole like Detroit or Pittsburgh. Bring on the plague, motherfuckers!!!!

[doarner]

LOOK AT THE GODDAMN SIZE OF THAT AUDIO CASSETE!!!

[boringsermon]

@doarner it's huge - you could get, like, eight tracks on that thing, I bet!

[matthompson]

@doarner

What's the matter you young whipper-snapper? Ain't you never seen an 8-Track before?

[doarner]

@matthompson is that a 8-track? with such size it would have like 64.

[tribe1964]

sorry but this is the best version of i am legend and did you see ben hur i like will smith better but this movie was better then will,s version you should check out vincent price version as well it was good to but not better but i liked 2 of them and loved heston

[manuelherrera777]

You can see the traffic moving on the freeway on the long shots.

[starskhutchgel]

Great vid***** Thank you!!!

[ozzycriss]

Omega man has a way better overall fell than i am legend .

[Bestmanme08]

Great new bio (Chalton Heston: An Incredible Life: Revised Edition) for sale at amazon!

[thegorn68]

What song is that? Sounds like a song the Cramps would do. I loved the Omega Man. It was pretty cool and creepy for it's time. Obviously, I Am Legend was superior in special effects compared to back then. But strangely, it didn't make it a better overall movie.

[ElZomboFantasma]

It's too bad the new version had such a stupid-ass ending. No message, just pointless violence and special effects idiot kids these days can't watch a movie without.

[ShiekUrBooty]

Did you see the movie that started it all? "Last Man on Earth" with Vincent Price? It rocks.

Although I liked the movie, "I Am Legend", I feel that for all the special effects, it lacked the same feeling as "Omega Man" and "Last Man on Earth".

[illitrate]

strictly speaking, Last Man on Earth was based on the novel by Richard Matheson' that technically started it all, which was called I Am Legend

[ShiekUrBooty]

Last Man on Eath, Omega Man and I Am Legend were all based on the book, poindexter.

[usergently]

8 tracks tape!!!...Loll..

[xphylz]

"Ballroom Blitz," by Sweet would've been more appropriate for that 8-track player!

[fatalcoolfatalcool]

Nice 1970 LTD convetible.

[Devinishome]

Hilarious!

[IrishClaudius]

It actually works quite well and is more appropriate for this rockabilly punk who has blasts the undead horde

[theboondocks01]

AHHAa you could tell they had to fast forward it cause he pulled the gun out too slow in normal motiion.

[rainsgirl1889]

Yea, I love that part!

[derekjtg]

there is no phone!!!

[tumblelake63]

The song that I replaced was the "Theme from Summer Place". The song is not part of the Ron Gainer score for the movie. "Summer Place" is a 1959 movie based on a 1958 novel.

[Lordrazor14]

this movie is better than will smith's i am legend, Richard Matheson's i am legend and the last man on earth!!!!

[wayafterthispinished]

yeah will smith is a way better actor then this guy was and id roll in a tank so i can blast the !$@!$ Out of the crazy vampire people.

[rushistheband]

Did you just compare the acting skills of Charlton Heston to Will Smith?

You're fucking insane.

[tumblelake63]

What? are you retarded? Have your mom help you type a response next time.

[FaithsInMyChest]

He's just another fucking Pagan and Cowboy fan plaguing Youtube. His mom too.

[hearse8383]

I happen to enjoy the edited song, it's pretty funny if you ask me. In my opinion Omega Man was a great film, but had a really awful soundtrack and some really cheesy music at the wrong times (like when he's dying in the fountain for example). True in the opening Heston drives a Galaxie 500, but if I remember correctly, thre's also a point in the movie where he drives a '70 boss 9 right out of the showroom.

[VirtualMP3Studio]

Yep, right through the show room ....

[Basketfield]

You are a FUCKING NUT mate.

The Ron Grainer Score is Legend in itself.

It goes for £200+ on ebay for a reason.

because its fucking gold!

I'm pretty sure plenty of people agree with me on this one.

Although some of the music may appear cheesy these days, you must remember, this film was made in 1971!

i think you should get yourself a copy of the OST and rethink your opinions.

[burkepota]

I agree, mate. Grainer (who also scored the classic Prisoner tv series) created a completely unique score for Omega Man and, for my money, it's stood the test of time. And when one consider's all the vapid scores that are out there through the last 30 years, for those of us who care about good scores from every decade, let's give credit where credit's due.

PS- you've scared the hell out of me on the score's price because I'm shopping for it!

[tumblelake63]

The song that I replaced was the "Theme from Summer Place". The song is not part of the Ron Gainer score for the movie. "Summer Place" is a 1959 movie based on a 1958 novel.

[superedesca]

Please what is the name of song??????

[tumblelake63]

Chase the Devil, by the Eagles of Death Metal.

[lowmark7]

Oh, crap! That's Ground Zero.  Very very eerie.

[rainsgirl1889]

That's downtown Los Angeles, not downtown NY.

[ramberghini]

The book wasn't set in NY, it was set in Los Angeles

-gunny55

[rainsgirl1889]

I know. I was responding to someone who said the scene was at Ground Zero.

[JJbrubaker]

Ahh yeah, Great clip.

[JJbrubaker]

Read the book. I Am legend is a vampire story.

[ROOKI3LINKX]

The vampiers aren't vampires. Thier just normal people that eat fleash like zombies. But their not zombies. Their plaig people.

[tumblelake63]

Read the book!

[mikecleona]

The mutants aren't flesh-eaters in this film. They still eat regular food. Neville found a recently discarded sardine tin, cracker box, and a empty Cutty Sark bottle in a waste basket outside the office of the Hotel Premiere, where he was hunting for their hive. The mutants seek to kill Neville because he uses the technology that destroyed the world.

[VirtualMP3Studio]

Well done...

[starscreen999]

cool music

[jaibrocos]

Cooool!!

[Voy0]

I frickin' love this clip :) Great idea!

[glitchez]

what was that an old grease gun or a tec 9?

[tain1313]

Smith And Wesson M76 in 9mm

[LordGarces]

I Love that movie, yeah! nice mix ;) I like all the movies based on R. Matheson's novel I Am Legend: The Last Man On Earth(1964)Omega Man(1971), and I Am Legend(2007)!

[eldo59]

Instead of a red Shelby Mustang Heston drives a Galaxie 500 LTD.

[FrankieZG]

that's not song from original movie Omega man

[tumblelake63]

The O.G. song was the "theme from summer place", by Percy Faith. It's my mother's favorite song. It is from the movie "Summer place", 1959.

[ElZomboFantasma]

What song is that? I love it!

[tumblelake63]

I replaced the "Theme from Summer Place" with

the Eagles of Death metal song "Chase the Devil".  Which is what Chuck does in this movie, chase the devil tonight! It is from the album " Death by sexy".

[richybhoy32]

that shit song has been edited on

[tumblelake63]

So what is your point? Of course is has been edited. Everything on Youtube has been edited to some degree. But The sentence (A term I am using loosely), "that shit song has been edited on", makes you sound like a idiot and after looking at your Channel, an idiot you are. Thanks for your unsolicited opinon.

[Heat3YT]

Haha, I'm so lame. I've never seen this movie and hadn't heard that song before. I was like, wow, they sound just like the Eagles of Death Metal. Must be who the eagles pattern themselves after. Who could they be?? lol.....

[hungrykillerspoon]

its good that other people connected the 2 movies, i am legend was basically omega man with that action from i robot its a great movie tho!

[redwhiteandNudge]

yeah

[bigtimemuffin]

Anyone see the Simpson's "Homega Man"

[FelsenMain]

I like how people comment bashing Will Smith's role in the new version of the 'I Am Legend' story. I literally just saw "I Am Legend" and I think it was a beautiful movie. Maybe just a little too short. But I watched "The Omega Man" when I was a kid and was happy to see the entire storyline revitalized to fit in with this generation. We today fear cancer, as yesterday's people feared nuclear war. See the movie.

[tumblelake63]

Right on, I love the old movie, but I am excited about the new movie "I am Legend".

It looks good and the story is truer to the book. I recommend the book. A great vampire story!

[brunettechocha]

Man, the original orchestral music was much better than that trash. You just damaged the feel of that intro with that junk.

[tumblelake63]

Maybe you could use the word "that" more often.

[captaintripps6969]

But what would that prove? That maybe that's not the right thing to say, if not then what could you come up with that could counter that? (I think I just hurt my brain with that) :-D

[tafsc]

This rocks! Wil smith sucks

[beatlegno9]

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Get well soon.
