IIRC in The Omega Man Heston is dying but still alive as the film ends. I think. (I saw it a long time ago)

I thought he sacrificed himself in the explosion at his lab to save the woman and child.

I haven't seen it since the 90s, maybe the 80s

But I seem to recall Heston is in the fountain holding the serum, when he drops it into the hand of the chemistry student. The others leave while he watches, Christ-like, knowing the world will be saved b/c he sacrificed himself.

FWIW he is alive at the end of the book as well. He says "I am legend." and that's the last sentence,

I can never think about this movie w/o remembering the Ramones' video:

"I don't wanna be buried
In a pet cemetery"

In my troll post above I thought about putting this one.

But Angier was a villain through and through. I understand losing his wife but he went pretty evil all the way through.
