i've only seen "The Omega Man" on network TV, so that scene was cut. I remember liking the movie, and shaking my head at the ending. You ever notice how many times in movies Heston died at the end, but in a noble, martyr-like way? In "Omega man", he looks like nothing so much as Christ on the Cross at the end. He also had a bloody, dramatic death in one of the Planet of the Apes films. Indeed, isn't he the one who setoff the Earth-destroying nuke in his death throes? And then there's El Cid, where he dies at the end, yet is tied to his horse so that his body, riding onward on the battlefield, can continue to inspire his men. My wife and I always laugh at Heston in such roles...
