Triple bill featuring the first three 'Omen' films. The saga begins
with 'The Omen' (1976), when US Ambassador Robert Thorn (Gregory
Peck) is persuaded to substitute a newborn baby, whose mother has
died in childbirth, for his own stillborn son. By the age of five,
the child, Damien (Harvey Stephens), seems to be exerting a
malevolent influence on the Thorn household, suffering a violent
fit when he is taken to church and causing his nanny to hang
herself. Thorn searches for an answer to his son's behaviour and
meets maverick priest Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton), who tries
to convince him that Damien is in fact the Antichrist and must be
stopped at all costs. The Ambassador at first dismisses this as the
crazy rantings of a religious maniac, but subsequent events suggest
that maybe the priest had a point. The second film, 'Damien - Omen
2' (1978), picks up events a few years later, with the now-orphaned
Damien (Jonathan Scott-Taylor) turning 13 and living with his
adoring aunt and uncle. Aunt Marion (Lee Grant) is the first to
suspect there is more to the young devil than adolescent angst,
leading to her swift dispatch by a killer raven. As for Damien, he
is making his mark at military school, and is dismayed to discover
his true demonic identity - but not for long. The third film, 'Omen
3 - The Final Conflict' (1981), finds Damien (Sam Neill) all grown
up and heading a multinational company. He is about to be appointed
US Ambassador to England, a position which will enable him to take
over the world and thus fulfil the terrible forecasts of scripture.
But there is opposition in the form of a bunch of monks with sacred
daggers who will do everything necessary to prevent Satan's
enthronement.
Perhaps the archetypal 1970's American cop show, Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson (David Soul) are plainclothes cops patrolling the streets of an unnamed city--portrayed by Los Angeles--in a 1973 red Grand Torino. Dark-haired Starsky, who has an unflagging appetite and a quick quip for any situation, and tall, blonde, heart-throb Hutch, who is more soulful and serious, are not just partners on the job--they are also close friends. But their unorthodox methods are endlessly frustrating for their boss, Captain Dobey (Bernie Hamilton).
The duo has a powerful ally on the street, however, in the police informant Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas), a shady character who provides Starsky and Hutch with plenty of inside information. Full of tyre-screeching chases, shoot-outs, running and jumping up and down fire escapes and across busy roads, STARSKY AND HUTCH has plenty of street-wise action and humour. Contains series 1 to 4 of STARKSY AND HUTCH.
