the ending reminded a bit of stories you've heard about how the makers would want to end the episode of a tv series (twilight zone for example) in one way and the network wouldn't agree on it and made them change it, in the way that you're not sure if they killed off the main star or not. seems every movie where prisoners are outside working the guard gets killed, there was something off with the railway sequence, first it looked like a prop then the men looked too big in proportion to the train, also some strange cutaways throughout the movie. i didn't expect much of this because it seems like hestons movies started to decline after the mid 1970's, i read a review of this calling it repellently violent and tasteless, that's true in many moments and will keep me from watching it again, but it really got intense, and some of the villains acted more like animals than persons and i just had to sit through to see heston blow them away, and it really looked like hell by the end. there are two actors in this, one barely noticeable, who later became standard villains in many chuck norris movies. my favorite line was when the kid had pistol whipped him twice to keep him from striking at the wrong moment and heston replies "you're some tougher than i figured you for."
diamonds filled sky.
in the silent deep woods snowy sights,
stood your house of lights,
ive wandered around,
refuse conjuring,
turned on your charm and dragged it out of me,
some times a hint of the secret you got behind,
comes mystique eyes that i dont recognise,
and i know there's no way out,
above is a diamond sky,
and feel like with you a space station party time.
