I know - it was a shame he died trying to save that boozy loudmouth. I felt bad for Denise - I could feel her pain. I was glad her son opened his eyes at the end and was going to be ok. Why anybody would WANT to die in a film is beyond me.

I think it's an amazing ending for the exact same reasons. Besides women would have hated the idea that he could leave his wife for a much younger woman -AND- the wife would die leaving him free and clear to start fresh with a new family and likely inherit the remnants of his wife's family business.
Instead we get a shocking ending of the hero trying to salvage some of his morality to save his estranged wife and gasp fail.
Excellent ending in my humble opinion.

VERY excellent. Because when you think of the other 70s disaster movies, Towering Inferno or Poseidon Adventure, if any of those men could've died trying to saving their wive/girlfriends, if they had that opportunity to try to save them, you know they would without any regard to their own lives either.

I think Omega Man, was different, because you expected him to win. Honestly, when Mathias threw the spear, I was expecting him to throw it at Lisa, because he was calling her and she appeared to be walking towards him. Lots of people I've showed the film too also thought the same thing, like he was going to kill Lisa because she took off with Neville.
In Poseidon Adventure, you got a sense of what Hackman was going to do before he did it. In Earthquake, it never actually showed Heston dying, but it was implied. Never saw Von Ryan's Express.
