[...] character played by Charlton Heston is flying in a helicopter over a city [...]

Your memory is playing tricks with you. There are, of course, "long" establishing shots of overpopulated NYC, but no helicopters, and CH doesn't fly in one.

Regards,

The death scene with Edward G. Robinson was actually real. He had cancer at the time and died shortly after filming it.

The Duke there are scenes in Omega Man of Charlton Heston flying over NYC in a helicopter. You might be mixing the movies in your head. I do that kind of thing all the time. But hey, at least I still know where the bathroom is.

He is thinking of The Omega Man which starred Heston.
A take-off of the old sci-fi classic, I Am Legend.

Mixing in the Omega Man? It’s been decades since I have seen either.

The scene you are talking about is in the Arnold movie “The Running Man”.

You're correct, of course. I re-watched SG today, and no helo!

I'm blaming COVID! Now, where's my drool cup?
