"The Omen III" is a deliriously trashy movie, cashing in on Christian fears about the End Times and the Second Coming and all that other fun Apocalypse stuff. Sam Neill plays a grown-up Damien Thorn, now some kind of Machiavellian corporate titan with heavy political connections—oh, he sells soya products among other things, so you KNOW he's evil.

The movie is never funnier than when it gives Damien a chance to rant about Jesus and Satan at length—as he does here, before a huge crowd of followers, demanding their loyalty and threatening them with "the flaccid bosom of Christ" if they fail. Sam Neill puts a lot of enthusiasm into Damien's pseudo-Satanic claptrap (I mean...I can't imagine any real-life Satanist actually talks like this, but I could be wrong.)
