History YMMV / DamienOmenII

* {{Adorkable}}: Charles Warren. His speech and mannerisms as well as his oblivious to everything until he finds out 2/3's into the film. His clumsiness on the frozen lake, and on top of that, being a Museum Curator. Picture him with a bow tie and you just wanna hug him.

** When Joan gets hit by a truck, she (or rather a [[SpecialEffectsFailure very obvious dummy with her red frock and a wig]]) somehow leaps over the speeding vehicle in defiance of physics. It's a shame because it spoils the previous scene where she is attacked by the raven, which is really effective and harrowing to watch.

** Joan's dogged insistence of warning the Thorns of the threat of Damien, then suddenly deciding to shut up because she needs to go hit by a truck.

* CompleteMonster: Damien Thorn revealed to his cousin Mark that he was [[TheAntichrist the son of the Devil]], and asked him [[WeCanRuleTogether to join him in his attempt at world conquest]]. When Mark refused his offer, Damien murders him by introducing an aneurysm into his brain.

* MoralEventHorizon: Whilst Damien is seen by many as inherently and knowingly evil, thus crossing the horizon the instant he drew breath, the moment he kills his best friend Mark is pretty much the death of what little shred of humanity he possessed.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Damien's ProtagonistJourneyToVillain is sorely underutilized. Damien is horrified at discovering who he is, yet is over it a scene later. Likewise, his cousin Mark learns the truth which results in Damien murdering him, while a very strong scene, could have compellingly worked for half a feature. But before Damien murders Mark he is shown to have some signs of empathy and a genuine affection for Mark. The entire movie could have been about Damien's internal conflict, his doomed fight against his destiny, with Mark as the metaphorical angel on his shoulder, or possibly an antagonist that Damien is reluctant to kill.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sgt. Neff, [[spoiler:despite being key in Damien's discovery of his true nature as the Antichrist, disappears after the second act with no mention as to what happened to him.]]
** Technically, he does appear late in the film at the dance. But it is so slight it might as well be a mouse situation.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** Damien is horrified at discovering who he is, yet is over it a scene later.
** Likewise, his cousin Mark learning the truth which results in Damien murdering him, while a very strong scene, could have compellingly worked for half a feature. This murder is the most heartbreaking and character defining moment of the series.

* HilariousInHindsight: This and ''[[Film/{{Airport}} Airport '77]]'' would not be the [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague only times Robert Foxworth would play a]] BitchInSheepsClothing FalseFriend for the protagonist.

* MomentOfAwesome: Damien may be Satan incarnate, but him marching out at the end in his uniform and nice coat, fully aware of what he is, is quite an impressive sight.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Mark and Bugenhagen's deaths, while they do affect the plot, may not have been necessary and their survival to be involved in ''Film/OmenThreeTheFinalConflict'' might have been interesting.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sgt. Neff, [[spoiler:despite being key in Damien's discovery of his true nature as the Antichrist, disappears after the second act with no mention as to what happened to him.]]

* SpecialEffectsFailure: As mentioned in Narm, Joan's death is so ridiculous it could honestly be described as this woman hitting an 18 wheeler. It's astonishing this tiny irrelevant clip wasn't cut from a mostly handsome production.

* {{Narm}}: When Joan gets hit by a truck, she (or rather a [[SpecialEffectsFailure very obvious dummy with her red frock and a wig]]) somehow leaps over the speeding vehicle in defiance of physics. It's a shame because it spoils the previous scene where she is attacked by the raven, which is really effective and harrowing to watch.

* {{Narm}}: When Joan gets hit by a truck, the impact defies physics by somehow making her leap over it.
** Well, it's not really her. It's a dummy. [[SpecialEffectsFailure Which is totally obvious.]]
