* RetCon: The fashions, cars, et cetera make it quite clear ''The Omen'' was supposed to be set around the time of its release in the mid-70s. When ''Damien: Omen II'' came out two years later with Damien seven or so years older, it seemed like a case of TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture. But ''The Final Conflict'' is explicitly set in 1982 with a 32-year-old Damien, retroactively pushing the events of the original film back to the mid-1950s and ''Damien'' to the early 1960s, neither of which fits the evidence in the earlier films at all.
