Trailer for Zardoz (1974)

[Zeanu]

This movie is awesome. It's like a trippy science-fantasy comic book, people who think it's random or bad are either lack the intelligence, age or creativity to see it. 

[AcesHighProd]

1:10 awwsome special effects

[morzansreddragon]

What a great way to market randomness

[WeebleWarbler]

What was Connery thinking?

[frostbitestudios]

Jason Steele brought me here.

[Raybi3z]

The guns are good.

[EdSigma]

Did they really not have a spare Fish-Eye lens; that one's got a really obvious smudge on it!

[SkidMunro]

First R-rated flick I ever snuck into! Sean Connery has made a few bad films in his career (League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen being THE worst); Zardoz is probably his zaniest. For something utterly different, check it out on DVD.

[mortman200]

I Have Seen The Future. And It. Doesn't. Make. SENSE!

[aperpetualdream]

Funny... My house used to have a lit up waterfall in the living room that we refered to as "The Head" -speak to the head, we'd say

[sirlagged]

Most amazing movie ever made?

[facetiousbadger]

WTF is this? Sean Connery, how could you do this to us?!

[TEE3TT]

ive seen this movie when i was 8 or 9

now im 25 and want to see it again

[Tripo1iSamson]

the 70's- gay sex and blow.

[nailon323]

this is the most WTF movie you'll ever see

[KingCharltonHeston]

One of the strangest films I've ever seen...

[cityhermitus]

The penis is evil!

[Cecilff2]

@cityhermitus

no no, that talking head assured me it was good.

[fani5000]

godamn! gotta see this hehe, love the voice: "ZARDOS" monotone robotic something haha

[wolfengheist]

Sean Connery in a Red Diaper? A must see!

[wrightmt01]

im here because of shitcasecinema

[hmpcon]

+1 if your watching this to get the functional programming references at Cornell

[donniedarkodevotte]

It's the Shitcase Cinema!

[klepetar]

i seen this movie one..and that was enough.. sean connery is actually ashamed to have played in this turkey

[FelixCFortune]

I watched this youtube video in the name of Zardoz.

[VincentGnawl]

i wonder how sean connery feels about this..

[Anacondas101]

i'll admit until 0:43 it actually looks like a normal film,

[xlla]

AWESOME!!!

[DakireProductions]

what is this I don't even..

[Anacondas101]

Best movie ever?

i think so

[Sashy42]

@Anacondas101 Have you seen She? I must say its better then Zardoz, although it was awesome:)

[michiman57]

im gonna watch this right now cause im stoned

[meland210]

I'm not sure about what i just saw...

[Fpagh]

@1.08, "dum di dum... WHIIIIIIii"



[ZemplinTemplar]

I wonder if John Boorman did the voice for the floating head. I read he and the whole crew were seriously high when they made this fine piece of nonsence.

[GreensleevesAxolotl]

ZARDZOZ

[Quinnoco]

just how i like my Sean Connery

[MrN1NJASTYLE]

ive seen this movie 2 times...

im proud of it cuz im not dead

[JibbyJedi]

RedLetterMedia... Please do a review for this film!

[bojanks15]

penis is evil

[1925141428224]

this looks wack as fuck. i still want to watch it though

[pierlorenzoorione]

Sean Connery was very sexy in that film,vary good man!

[pewehot13]

i kind of liked it

[chupchupchupnanny]

1:33

Stanley Goodspeed "It's a 'grunge thing.'"

John Patrick Mason "Grunge thing????"

[nootrak123]

ZARDOZZZ bwombwombwombwombwom bwombwom

[GamleErik100]

Stuff like this is best viewed drunk or stoned.

[underdogmilitia]

@GamleErik100 yes, I saw it many years ago, the Trailer doesn't due it justice.

[Explosivo57]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

[Arman88]

Zed? Zed's dead, baby... Zed's dead.

[metallicaner]

its actually not that bad

[xaralamb1]

stop it's giving me a headache.

[persevere67]

This is a great movie, in fact i am watching it right now, i first saw it in the theater when i was 7 years old, my parents were hippies so it was all good.

[mmartini50]

An excellenty movie from the days when directors weren't pussies afraid to experiment. The title, from the Wizard of Oz, was because the feeble ruling classes in the film ruled the savages through smoke and mirrors, like Oz did.

Or, Politics and Religion are shit, man. *takes another toke*

[asubjectiveopinion]

My father really, really looks like the Zardoz head.

I've always toyed with editing this trailer so that a cut-out of his head replaces the head of Zardoz.

[phobophob]

looks funnier than it is in the end.

[GeneralThornton]

I can't wait for the remake with Hugh Jackman, slow motion action sequences, the tie in-soundtrack and the Happy Meal!

[MrWiLDAPEMAN]

I loved this film it was wierd and quite interesting i also understood the storyline without the influence of drugs. There is many themes that come up in it like the master race,God,imortality,death AND SEAN CONNERY!

[DWSimmy]

Drugs? Yeah, I've tried them...

[coolrog7564]

I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE AND IT DOESN'T WORK !

[TriviaFreak]

The most bizarre trailer that I have ever seen.

[Bootyhunterzx]

I've seen this like 5 times. I still don't get it.

[MikeWhiskyTango]

Gotta love it!  An entire tribe wearing red mankinis.

[ajonetto]

Thumbs up if Cracked.com brought you here

[SamhainTheDark]

... Yeah, looks like a blockbuster to me too.

[tfman31]

It's amazing how [John] Boorman went from the highly successful thriller Deliverance, to a bizarre film style like this. Zardoz is only enjoyable if you are high, which i was not when watching this so it wasn't enjoyable. 2 stars outta 5.

[DanEddyCinema]

I....I think I just got high for a few seconds o_o

[rexhead]

Its like Boorman watched Alejandro Jodorowsky,s The Holy Mountain. then decided to go and take some acid in the Scottish highlands.

[drexelboi1991]

thumbs up if "Brows Held High" brought you here

[wwwwhhhhaaaattttful]

sean connery just invented swag years before anyone else.

[FutileExistence]

This shit made me LOOOOOOOL

[slangshotstudios]

Most of the idiots bashing this film don't understand the allegory behind it. It has enormous truth to it, disguised behind a overly colorful B-movie-esque surface.

[BiggerThinking1]

@slangshotstudios allegory to what?

[109WINSTON]

Sean, must have been on L.S.D when he made this shite!!! Connery best Bond by far.

[Friedkin01]

John Boorman. What an intellectual genius eh?

[kermitthetoad]

Zardoz is a really excellent bad movie, but this trailer would not make me want to watch it.

[almightyseancore]

tabernacle is an awesome word.

[morreale94]

ok.... acid trip is nothing compare to this ... thing

[STNKbone]

They don't make trailers like this anymore.

[linkin1995]

BEAST!!!!!!! hahahahaha best movie ever. Oh Sean Connery, you had James Bond, you obviously just did this to prove how much of a bad ass you are

[linkin1995]

BEAST!!!!!!! hahahahaha best movie ever. Oh Sean Connery, you had James Bond, you obviously just did this to prove how much of a bad ass you are

[yogapradag]

this one is definitely going on my friday night film fest list!

[MrEpicusMaximus]

at 1:09.... BEST.... EFFECTS...... EVER!!!!

[e7whu]

what the hell just happened



[leucomaofthecornea]

@e7whu Zardoz.

[rabbit605]

0:55 - Nice Wilhelm scream there Sir Connery.

[DahakTzimisce]

"I am the sum of all these people, and all their knowledge. I am all-seeing. I am everywhere and nowhere. That has often served as a definition of God... There is no escape."

[MRGENERATIONADD]

i felt like my penis was trying to fuck my brain while i was watching this movie, of course it was late at night and like most the people who have watched this, i was high as shit. 0_o

[punkxforever]

Somehow it reminds me of Jodorowski's works.

[weslake898]

ZARDOS -ZARDOS!!

[Leemac1997]

mad as an acid trip!

[gerardito91262]

Esta peliculita nos muestra que la gente  se empeña tanto en la destruccion de ellos mismos,* y les dije a los directores que antiguamente habian gentes que apoyaban a el dios marte de la guerra y despreciaban a el dios eros del amor,*y esa idea les gusto a los cineastas porque vieron que yo les habia dado una pequeña reseña de la mitologia griega y de mas culturas que han caido en la equivocacion de creer que el diablo y la muerte les daran la felicidad,*solo dios nos da la vida eterna y feliz

[SANDVlCH]

GUN IS GOOD!

PENIS IS BAD!

[scubielouie]

Did I just have sex?

[devildogLS]

.........what just happened?

[SecularNumanist]

this was an actual thing?

[DKshad0w]

@SecularNumanist Better than most movies we have today.

[GxRATE]

i find this strangely appealing to masterbate to.

[jdlund]

I was disappointed. I thought this movie would be at least be funny bad. It's just bad and insanely borring.

[morbidchid]

@jdlund You shouldn't over strain yourself. Try watching movies that think for you. Anything currently in theaters seems like a good choice.

[jdlund]

@morbidchid, seriously? This movie is ridiculously stupid, insipid and a total waste of time . There is nothing intelligent or intellectually challenging or even interesting about this epic piece of shit. Stop acting like you have some mental superiority, because if you think this film is smarter than even something like Big Mama's House your intelligence is highly suspect. As a side note, films that "think for you" are still better than a film that is utterly devoid of any kind of thinking.

[DullardGuy]

@jdlund Look, despite the movie being made in the 70's and lacks any sort of hi tech theatrical effects or dramatization you get from watching your gay porn, the movie depicts the subjucation of mankind held under the superiorty of another civilization. Read about history for once, the manifest destinys, or even current events. There is a message in this movie. You either didnt watch the movie, or are just too stupid to read between the lines!,

[jdlund]

@DullardGuy, there's nothing difficult about deciphering the movie's "messages." It's pretty goddamn heavy handed and obvious. There's nothing to read between the lines, it is rather straight forward. Unfortunately, its points are hopelessly trite, shallow and completely uninteresting. Yeah I get that manifest destiny shit, I have studied history, and it would blow my mind if maybe I were in third grade but I am a tad older than that and a tad more read.

[morbidchid]

@jdlund Just because you think 70's cinema is filled with crappy shit doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you that Zardoz is overrated.

[jdlund]

@DullardGuy, I'm a lot older than you think. I grew up on 70s cinema, so I get where this is coming from. It was an age of art films and heavy symbolism. This movie is just an extremely stupid (and ultimately really borring) example of that time period of film. My guess is that you are someone who sees an incomprehensible film and assumes it is genius just because you don't understand it. Well let me save you time on Zardoz, it's just a shitty film, nothing more.

[jdlund]

You may want to read more or watch more films or something. If you think Zardoz's depiction of human subjugation is interesting or intelligent then you really need to be exposed to something that tackles such subjects with actual intelligence. Zardoz is the film equivalent of the wannabe philosopher who articulates an exceedingly simple concept by trying to use "big, complex words" that he thinks make him sound smart. Break this movie down and there just isn't anything noteworthy there.

[DullardGuy]

@jdlund Your not kidding anyone!

[OroborusFMA]

It's like "Barbarella" only worse lol ...

[lezvarthok]

this makes the 200th piece of wtflol in my playlist "wtflol". it suits perfectly. thanks for sharing this... atrocity.

[tomcook03]

I personally feel violated

[Thewonkandfriends]

The single greatest film to get stoned to ever.

[Ziikolai]

...What just happened?

[Beastkingzetta]

THE GUN IS GOOD!! THINKING FOR YOUR SELF IS EVIL!!

[PunchSydeiron]

ZARDOZ!

[FBFTheRagingWarrior]

Old hollywood films were so MUCH MORE BETTER than todays crap hw comes up with.Old movies were constructed with character development,they were artistic,mind fucking, scary for your Psyche.Now ...

[cspeeder]

Why did i take that acid before i watched this...WHY!?

[jksonny]

Why is there a shortage of clothing in the future?

[PROFILESophiaYates]

@jksonny hehe

[toxicMDR2]

Is this recommended while on drugs?

[sevenbegore]

@toxicMDR2 No. Well, maybe pot. No hallucinogens.

[MerlinsJester]

Wow. People around me have been mindraped. I stand alone.

Okay, how sad is that?

[MultiDevio]

This movie raped my mind when I watched it. O.O

[mudstompaz]

0:09

[Sugamari]

these "people" should never have been allowed to make movies!

[foufoufun0]

1:38 wut?

[jimmyjimbo72]

Anyone here because of Shitcase Cinema? If not, search for them.

[JackWProductions]

This is the absolute best worst movie ever! fuck Troll 2, Silent night deadly night 2, The Room etc this movie is a cult classic.

[Egglesplork]

_____Wanna know how the writer came up with the title for this acid-trip of a story? Easy! Just stuff marbles up your nose, and try to say the word STARDUST... Uh-huh. See what I mean? Now as for how the writer came up with the title, after the surgeons remove the marbles from yon nostrils, snort some cocaine laced with PCP. YOW! NOW THE STORY MAKES PERFECT SENSE! And NOW ya know why coherence in sci-fi went to Hell after the 1980s.

[ratchpick2]

@Egglesplork Or, you know... Wizard of Oz... wiZARD of OZ... ZARDOZ.

[morbidchid]

@Egglesplork Zardoz wiZARD ofOZ. God is a lie. God is a magician. It's symbolism you brutish oaf.

[JMPrudomTube]

@Egglesplork Legendary!!! and it works too for alchemy cuz I sneeze diamonds now :)

[MrUgglybabee]

@Egglesplork Those who actually SAW Zardoz know that the name came from The Wizard of Oz.

[Egglesplork]

@MrUgglybabee

_____Ya know, now I REALLY know where the title came from. The dudes who came up with the script were all like, "Hey man! We're gonna make a GROOVY movie title that'll leave 'em arguing, like...FOREVER! And, like, NOBODY will be right because the title...HAS no origin! It's from NOWHERE. Far out, eh? Pass the grass." Puff... They deliberately, actually, and totally made a title that has NO ORIGIN. So you're right. I'm right to. Or, like, NOBODY'S right.

[MrUgglybabee]

@MrUgglybabee It's in the movie, man! Sean Connery holds a copy of the Wizard of Oz, covers the letters wiof with his fingers and says something like "This is where they got the name!"

[tgggs]

@Egglesplork

good comment. Truly great artists do not need any kind of artificial brain enhancement to create great works of art.

[HotBroodish]

So this is what Lady Gaga's thoughts look like..

[pcuimac]

One of my favorite movies. How can anybody see a work of conspiracy in it?

The message and plot is clear as a crystal. With nice red outfits. lol Other times other clothing. I love it.

[kmp3000]

Peter Kay sent me. "What were that mad one where he got his cock out?" lol

[Kjameson75]

just added to my "crazy shit" playlist

[MitchZer0II]

Looks like a creative porno

[TheHolySpirit]

Breaking news! Search for "ZARDOZ = radiation"

[bieberberberberber]

@TheHolySpirit haha read the comments on the torrent file on thepiratebay, i debunked it but dutchsinse banned my ass, deleted my comments, like he has done to sooooo many people (just check the thread on abovetopsecret about dutchsinse, put his name into google and its the 4th result or so). also, you're a sheep, a contrarian one, but a sheep nonetheless. but your sn is funny.

[TheHolySpirit]

@bieberberberberber Who is dutchsinse? And who are you? Why don't you just make a video response with your findings instead of leading people on a goose chase? Have you got a geiger counter? You have no idea who I am, so please don't make assumptions. I'm glad you think my "sn" is funny. Also, why is your channel unavailable? I'd love to see what else you've contributed to this community (apart from the one copypasta concerning a Finnish ecologist) that has had few views from your 0 subscribers

[dutchsencee]

@TheHolySpirit I am dutchsinse!

[jgbloyd]

@dutchsencee Right, and I'm jesus fucking christ. Or, maybe you're just some crazy.

[jgbloyd]

@bieberberberberber only sheep still go around calling others sheep tho i suspect you're of the broken record type

[apk1215]

I liked the part where he was riding the horse.

[lawngnomesrhot]

This movie rules. It has a really interesting vision of the future. Yeah it's totally 70s, but that adds to the charm rather than detracting from it.

[63overkill]

wow i watched this and thought i had an acid flashback..

[dfectedRO]

oO the fuck did i just watched?

[TheBosox5]

I've seen the ZARDOZ future and it ZARDOZ doesn ZAEDOZ wor ZARDOZ STFU!

[lakshmimittal]

This couldn't get more 70s. I must find it.

[thedavidleebooth]

@lakshmimittal I used to have the dvd with the dirctors commentary, its an epic 70's flick.

[skateweb]

what is the name o f the song at 2:43

please??

i remember this song when the head is flying through the vortex

[yellowsign13]

@skateweb  From 2:27 to the end, it's Beethoven's 7th Symphony, second movement (if I'm getting my classical music terms correct).

[casualtybeats]

wasnt that woman in james bond as well

People gain immortality, and they use it ... to become bored.

Somehow that seems so... British.

Evelyn Waugh meets George Orwell meets Monty Python.

What... the poop.

[akselKH88]

Sean Connery's magnum opus..
