Okay this
one is not safe for the weak hearted (it features a decapitation and a crucifixion).

| Jesus Christ Superstat (1973) |

| The omen (1976) |
Last Easter (naturally) I was watching Jesus Christ Superstar (1973). And I noticed a shot that looked a heck of a lot like one used in The Omen (1976).
Maybe I'm
reading too much into this comparison. But I do like the possible parody aspect
that the usage of repeat shots used for the crucifixion of the son of God was later repeated in
a movie about the son of Satan.
*Now the
original explanation of the decapitation scene was that people in the audience
tend to look away for two/three seconds before turning their eyes back to the
screen. So the trick was that by prolonging the decapitation/ showing it from
different angles, the scene could still get a fright out of those people who
originally looked away.
