- Hiking up Briar Summit Drive in the Hollywood Hills (June 2008) to visit Dutch's Hideout from the 1971 movie "The Omega Man" starring Charlton Heston. The 20-30 minute hike takes you to the summit and building used in the movie. The vegetation has overtaken the location but you can still see most of the landmarks used in the film. This hike is a must for all fans of "The Omega Man." Please visit: www.theomegamanmovie.com for the best fansite devoted to the film. Please rate and subscribe.

What's cool is that in the 1971 photo you can see a small tree, and in 2008 that tree has grown to hide most of the building.
And now even this video is FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.
That’s enough time to wonder if the building is even still there.
It’s unbelievable how time passes.
One of the 20 greatest film scores ever!!!
Agreed, very soothing and easy listening unlike the scores of today.
Yep, one of the "stars" of the film in my humble opinion, especially since so much had to be conveyed without dialogue.
Dark of the Sun (aka The Mercenaries) also has a great soundtrack to compliment a fantastic movie.
It has a great soundtrack, this is one of Charlton Heston’s best films.
What a great movie.
Rest in Peace Paul Koslo, the actor who played Dutch. Died January 9, 2019 (age 74) of pancreatic cancer.
Paul Koslo also was the bad guy in the 1971 classic Vanishing Point.
@@Zebred2001 He was the bad guy in quite a few movies and TV shows. I met him once when I was 12 years old. He was actually a very nice person. Its sad to hear that he has passed away.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know he had died. Sorry to hear that. I guess that Eric Laneuville. Ritchie. Is about the only one left now.
Mitch Salawine life is short
Vince Klortho Did he play the bad guy in Mr Majestic? Clarles Bronson movie?
You know what I would like to see? Neville's Penthouse estate, then and now. In fact, a grand tour of the place from the past to now.
Your move, Imperator
Watch the opening of the TV show Friends.
Filmed in front of the fountain and townhouse.
All on a studio lot.
It never existed. It's a facade in Warner Bros.' property ranch in Burbank, its interior a hollywood film set. You can see the facade in the opening of 'Friends'.
It looked more like a utility sub station to me in the 70's when I first saw the film - brick and block structures in the Hollywood Hills smacks of industrial construction. Looks more so with the passage of time.
One of my all time favorites.
Best movie ever!
Very cool.
Sad news, thanks for the video by the way, today I found out that Robert Neville‘s apartment building in the movie is going to be knocked down, at Warner Ranch in Burbank, along with a bunch of movie houses. Today.
Still visible in 2023 on Google Earth. But even if it is gone, it was just a facade. The interior was a movie set.
"The mad bomber himself"...And I see you got the mad scientist...
Excellent video. I love these Then and Now comparisons.
Was Tommy still manning the machine gun nest when you made the hike?
No way The Family, on foot, could march there at nightfall
and be back at City Hall by daybreak.
Awesome... glad you posted this it was awesome movie
AWESOME...TY
The Mad Bomber himself.......
What kind of a building was it? Phone company or radio station? Something else?
great
Anyone know what's on the back of Dutchs jacket? Saw the film for the first time but it was blured out.
I thought that was the coolest movie. Then
Is this structure a house or what?
Looks like some kind of utility building.
@robertmark34 yes ! Nevilles penthouse apt looks like Warner Bros back lot...!!!
It's part of a group of buildings intended to resemble an upscale Manhattan apartment block. It's only facades, with workrooms and offices behind. Neville's apartment interior was a movie set, undoubtedly dismantled not long after filming.
AndyKofHB, in reality today and back in 1971 was/is that a ulitity power company structure er uh Dutch's hangout ? Or, is it a real house ?
/What was the place really used for in 1971 and why is it abandonded. Great vid
idak12 It reminds me in the way it is laid out like one of the old Army Nike missile radar control sites or an old Airforce DEW line radar site no towers or radar though. But the building and gates are similer to infrastructure I've seen like this before.Or it could be as mudane as a municipal pump station for water or natural gas or a phone or electrical switch station.Typical late 60s early seventies building style. Check out pictures of the Mullholand Nike radar site and the Nike launch site mueseum in San Francisco you might see similarities Doesn't look private screams government or state or municipality.
lol the kids woud have kids...notice the cell phone towers ..

What.a.scary.movie.what.if.it.happened.😤.
It just did..
@@davidjacobs3275 It still is. Wait for more mutations.
In the movie the killer virus came from a war between China and Russia.
In real life the virus was unleashed by a joint effort between the United States government and Big Pharma. The second onslaught are the gene manipulating experimental vaccines.
