Zardoz!

"Stay behind my aura."


The gun is good.
The penis is evil.
The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was.
But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals.

Go forth... and KILL!

Before the DaVinci Code, there was Zardoz!

2. It was just on the other night.....
I made Mrs. WCGreen watch....

She didn't like it....

And it has lost a bit....

But still, a decent Sci Fi movie....

3. A kick for Connery's loincloth!
What the hell was he thinking?

4. Ah Seventies Costume Design....
A great, yet deeply flawed film, and not simply because of the red loincloth and matching bandoleer.

5. One of my favorites. Own the DVD
The DVD of Zardoz is great. An excellent print and commentary track from Boorman.

One good story from the commentary is how Connery wrangled a per diem for a driver and then drove himself every day and pocketed it. A true scotsman!!

I know the movie has detractors but I found it to be interesting and an attempt at something greater in SF movies than Buck Rogers and bug-eyed-monsters.

Because they simply don't make acid this good anymore.
