Trailer Of The Day #1 - THE OMEGA MAN

Boris Segal (the real-life father of Peg Bundy and The Double Mint Twins) directs my all-time favorite version of the classic Richard Matheson novel I AM LEGEND. No one has gotten it 100% right (yet), but this slab of funky cinema goodness walks the line between horror, action, and even blaxsploitation, like no other.
Charleton Heston was a bona fide genre star at this time, with PLANET OF THE APES and SOYLENT GREEN making a kind of holy triumvirate of bad assness. Factor in Anthony Zerbe (KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK, PAPPILON, and too many others to name check here!) as the mutated and insane Matthias, a crazy vampiric cult leader, and Rosalind Cash (KLUTE, UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT) with her bad ass attitude in a proto "Ripley" role, plus her even more bad ass afro, and you have what I will defend with a straight face as a major classic of 70's goodness. It also features one of the hardest hitting soundtracks ever, by Ron Grainer (DR. WHO).

If you've seen it, watch it again sucka. if you 'aint seen it yet, get to it jive turkey!
