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... -------------- Original message -------------- From: "ravenadal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am a big fan of "Omega Man." The late, great Rosalind Cash plays the "sassy black girl." Although she remains too thin for my taste, in 1971, when I was fifteen years old, her brief nude scene sho nuff ruled my world. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Street" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I watched Omega Man and The Last Man on Earth yesterday via Netflix. > All very good movies.
