- Tim Burton joined us to reveal the 5 seminal films that have influenced his career.
Here he talks about The Omega Man (1971) and the use of "one-liners", obvious stunt doubles and a film with rough edges.

I swear to god I've seen the Omega man at least 500 times. I love that movie.
Between us that'd be a 1000 times, lol. I totally get what Burton says here...I'd always make time to watch Omega Man whether it was a Sunday afternoon or late night TV. Just something intangible about the movie that's totally cool. Will Smith's remake was okay...but missed the mark in many ways. I like the hommage Smith did with the updated Mustang at the beginning.
lol how old are you? I'm just assuming you have to be pretty old to have seen a movie that many times.
Turned 50 last month. I wouldn't call that "pretty old", though...lol.
no i wouldn't either just thought you'd be at least 60 something.
+Andrew Jones I am 53, and saw the movie upon its original release.I started counting my viewings a few years back, and my tally since when (beginning 2004), is at 33. That count is way, way off the actual number of times I have actually viewed the movie.
One of the best movies ever made.
Charlton Heston was wonderful in The Omega Man!
Same here the omega man is the best sci fi movie very
I think its a sign of a good movie if you don't mind watching films over and over again
Not necessarily. I love watching bad movies over and over again, because I find them entertaining. And yet no one in my family, and very few friends, will watch them with me. They all believe the films stink. So be it.
The soundtrack to The Omega man is one of my favorite jazz LP's. There are some awesome jazz numbers
I'm glad the incoherent parts were edited out of that interview.
He's a mess.
Tim appreciating these things so sensitively makes me like Tim Burton even after his many awful and ruined films.
Omega Man is my favorite Heston film. Soylent Green next. If you like cheezy sci-fi , checkout Glen and Randa. If you can find it. Look for the traffic on the freeway in the far distance as our hero gazes over the apocalyptic landscape.
The scene where Neville is playing chess and forgets Caesar is a statue and says "Did you move?". The camera pulls back out of the apartment and reveals his fortress is also a prison. Great scene
Arnold was tagged for a remake but never went thru but he would had been good or Sly in the title roles . Didn't care for Smith and the CGI creatures.
F Sly or Arnold , Chuck Heston was the man.
Why Doesn't he mention Charlton Heston by name?
You're not seeing the full interview so....
@@hobiewood9500 He sounds absolutely plastered out of his fucking mind...unable to make a coherent statement. Oh I guess that's business as usual for Burton.
CHARLTON HESTON = ROCKS in that MOVIE !!!@
Signs of a good Chuck Heston film: Chuck dies at the end, Chuck gets a gun and kills bad guys, Chuck at some point give a guttural "Oh my God...," Honorable Mention Chuck: Airport '75 where Chuck gives a guttural, "Climb, baby, climb..."
Oh my God! A fellow Hestonite! Well met Tiger! I totally agree with all your points. Let me add a few other recognizable qualities of full on chuck! In no particular order: aviator
Sun glasses; neck slaps; shirt off; wise cracks “Hey Landon, join the expedition”; fancy cravat around neck; heavy breathing before after or while saying his lines; using the word “bloody” and much much more! He is the greatest!
To his credit, he's good with Shakespeare, he's great in Touch of Evil, and his go at Long John Silver in Treasure Island is dark and malevolent and a great performance. Gets props for being the first really big hollywood star to do scifi.
But all Heston fans need to see this:

@@jkorshak so true! I love his Long John Silver too- what about his cardinal Richelieu in the 3 musketeer movies? Perfection!
His Historical Movies are phenomenal too! Just him growling “ I MUST STAND AGAINST THIS!!!!” In the beautifully designed movie worlds is about the best thing ever captured on film!
Guys of that size and physicality with out all the steroids, trainers, CGI, old school grit. Burt Lancaster is another one. He would have been hilarious. Both were big strong guys, not midge.
A few choice cheesy one liners from memory include: “ there’s never a cop around when you need one; ha, big brother how’s your ass; your move, imperator; oh MY GOD(he always says that in his films) I’d like to see some son of a bitch beat that!” Needless to say- I love Heston and Heston movies!!!! The first Aprs movie and Omega man and Doyle the green are all fantastic movies with the wise cracks- I never realized that before but Tim is right; he did do that in his films before others started!
They don’t make movies like that anymore…….
@@darbyheavey406I see what you did there.
Omega Man is a great movie...mumble mumble mumble cool, mumble, act drunk, mimble...eh, so this is Tim Burton. i love his movies, maybe he was having a migraine or a stroke or something.
I understood him.
when he accuses the vampires of being the IRS was hiliarious
Yep! LOL
The vampire characters are played by real people which is really nice?
He’s meaning they actually were characters that interacted with Neville particularly Matthias the former Network anchor who survived albeit transformed, I Am Legend they were nothing but feral CGI creations
Omega Man is one of my favorite movies. I reject any claim that it is a “bad” film.
The remake "I Am Legend" seemed hollow and focused on CGI. Like Tim Burton said, "The Omega Man" had characters on the dark side, not CGI monsters without a soul. High budgets don't necessarily mean better movies IMHO
I love the Omega man too, but the last Man on earth with Vincent Price was no slouch either, and actually closer to the source material.
Smith is such a bitch if he's the last man on earth it's over. Red Table MF
Absolutely love Charlton Heston. The talking to himself great. Obviously love Planet of the apes. The vibe of the film gets me. I guess the fact Heston was older was he a bit hard up for movies? I mean Ben Hur to Omega man epic
Smoke another joint Tim!
he waffles a lot aye.
"Ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know"
Beware this could happen in real life
He’s referring to Charleston Heston….
Is he high?
Tim, take a bath sometime.
We may soon die now 2nd wave of the pandemic. 4k a day in America die as of 1-31-21. Omega Man was great (and slowly becoming realty) except the end, the alternate ending is better..
Actually, the ending was Heston's idea. He didn't want to get sucked into a potential sequel if the movie was a hit and the studios started beating his door down like they did with Planet of the Apes.
he would been loaded with money
@@rickyj5547 he already was loaded from the success of Ben Hur many years before and even moreso from Planet of The Apes
Doesn't Tim Burton ever give his hands a rest when he's being interviewed. The continous waving of his hands indicates uneasiness, anxiety, nervousness, discomfort, irritation, and wishing he were somewhere else. He struggles a lot to find answers too. He's a fine director, but seems to deliver a lousy interview.
Listen to his statements not his hands
Jews talk with their hands.
He's trying to mimic David Lynch, except he doesn't have the talent.
better than his movies
rather watch the movie and planet of the apes 1968 instead
Most of Tim's movies suck.
The omega man is definitely in my top five sci fi movies of all time.
