Cruel and Unusual Death: A lot actually, but two that stick out the most is the death of the one priest who is mauled by bloodhounds during a hunt and another priest who burns to death whilst trapped in melting plastic sheets. And what makes it worse is that the latter doesn't die quickly.

comment
Possibly because "Omen" is something of an Artifact Title at this point; the first movie had Jennings' photos that foreshadowed how several characters died, the second movie had Yigael's Wall that showed the faces of the Antichrist - Damien's face - in various stages of his life. There are no real omens in this movie.

Bittersweet Ending: In contrast to the Downer Endings of the previous films, it ends with DeCarlo and Jesus killing Damien for good. However, Peter is dead and many infants were murdered by Damien, to say nothing about the numerous lives he has taken in the previous films.

Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Damien Thorn is this to his stepfather and uncle in the first two films. While brothers Robert and Richard were straightforward good guys, Damien Thorn is a Villain Protagonist. In terms of casting, while the previous leads were played by veteran Academy Award-winning screen legends Gregory Peck and William Holden, Sam Neill, Damien's actor, was a then-unknown when he was cast.

Idiot Ball: Damien kills all the babies to make sure he gets the reborn child of Jesus. But Damien should be well aware the prophecy is Jesus will return as a divine adult because Damien reads the actual Bible and has one heck of a powerful backer who should know this as well. This information is certainly not obscure.

comment
Retcon: The fashions, cars, et cetera make it quite clear The Omen (1976) 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 20 Minutes into the Future. 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.

Stopped Numbering Sequels: Originally released as The Final Conflict, without a number OR the franchise title! While modern home video releases have Omen III on the box, the original title card is still shown in the movie itself. Possibly because "Omen" is something of an Artifact Title at this point; the first movie had Jennings' photos that foreshadowed how several characters died, the second movie had Yigael's Wall that showed the faces of the Antichrist - Damien's face - in various stages of his life.

Prophecy Twist
 Omen III: The Final Conflict / int_bb5126ec
comment
Prophecy Twist: Damien attempts to stop the second coming of Christ by killing any male children born in the U.K. during the sign of his imminent return. This is to prevent "the beast's" defeat by "the lamb" as predicted in Revelation before he's even had a chance to face him. Unfortunately for the forces of darkness, Jesus returns not as a mortal child but rather in his all-powerful divine form and proceeds to strike Damien down personally-which is what the Book of Revelation said would happen.

Nice Job Breaking It, Herod: Damien tries to prevent the second coming of Christ by killing all male British children born during the herald of his return. Not only is this pointless, since Jesus is reborn in his powerful adult form, but also the murderous strike convinces Kate of his real identity, which leads to her stabbing him with the only weapon that could kill him.
