The Omen - Hollywood's First Decapitation!


Everyone loves them, the blood squirting out the neck, the head rolling on the ground. The decapitation is the most basic yet most satisfying movie death. If done incorrectly, the decapitation looks unrealistic and almost comedic. If done right, it will leave the audience gasping in shock. I start with the one that started it all, one of the first decapitations in mainstream Hollywood. In this scene from the original Omen, a pane of glass on the back of a truck shoots out towards the reporter and slices his head clean off. Nice!

  3. First of all, this film will never stop being awesome. I've seen this film a billion times, as a child, teenager, sportsbook and as an adult, and it rocks every time. The remake, on the other hand, was garbage. I couldn't have been more disgusted with a film being redone, and thus the only good thing about it was the thought that it would make more people watch the original.
    Breaking barriers, ruffling feathers, bet nfl and in my estimation, kicking the ass of The Exorcist, The Omen pulls no punches and gave the world the first on screen decapitation in film history... or at least I think so. It doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right in the fact that it is awesome, and they http://www.enterbet.com agreed because they shot it from every conceivable angle, and then played it in slow motion.
