Bloodier and Gorier: The death scenes, including an immolation, a bisection, and an eye gouging, are much more drawn out and detailed than they were in the original film.

Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome
 Damien: Omen II / int_4cb7f0d8
comment
Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Carl Bugenhagen, the last guy from the first movie (played by Leo McKern) who knew Damien's secret is killed off in the opening minutes, tying up a remaining loose end. McKern is the only cast member to appear in more than one movie of the series. Because there was no remake of this film, the 2006 remake of the first film leaves this thread dangling.

The Omnipotent: Satan himself, who seems to know everything and can kill anyone he chooses who threatens to prevent Damien's rise to power, even when there are other alternatives. All while making the deaths look like an accident. Satan kills Dr. Kane moments after Kane has learned that Damien has the DNA of a jackal, when even Kane isn't sure if the DNA report is accurate. Satan could choose to erase the computer report, but instead opts to painfully kill Kane, who read the report.

Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts
 Damien: Omen II / int_eefce6c6
comment
Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts: Particularly in Warren's death, instead of just killing Warren, Satan sets a train in motion, reroutes it to a different track, and plows it coupling-first into Warren so that it can kill him when the coupling slams into the freight car connector. Joan Hart's death is equally pointlessly complex: Satan makes her car engine stop, then sends a raven to peck out her eyes, and then somehow engineers a truck to come along and run her over while she stumbles blindly along the highway. In most cases, Satan could just make them die of brain aneurysms like Damien inflicts upon Mark, but goes for a more pointlessly complicated scheme. Only Marion, who dies of a heart attack, seems to die without the complicated machinations.

Sequel Reset
 Damien: Omen II / int_f06cdd2d
comment
Sequel Reset: The original film was made without the intention of a sequel, and thus ended with Damien having successfully killing his family and adopting himself in the President's family, with the implication that this would be the position from which he would begin his rise to power. Furthermore, his Breaking the Fourth Wall grin implies he was Evil All Along, and thus fully aware of his true nature and his destiny. Come the sequel, Damien is now the adopted son of his uncle, and has no idea of his Satanic heritage or his nature as the Antichrist.
