Logan and Zed's Luddite Revolution (Zardoz vs. Logan's Run)

*Spoiler warning*. If you haven't seen Logan's Run or Zardoz, this will spoil it for you.

Cobbled together from those two movies, plus stills and an audio clip from a certain Chuck Heston movie. I couldn't quite get the "Bill & Ted" vibe to gel, even when I tried putting the wheedily-deedily guitar shredding sound over the Zardoz Eternals fluttering their jazz-hands.

How can I get Ulead Visual studio to save this %$&* thing widescreen? Damn.

nevermind.... just located it. I knew it was gerry goldsmiths straight away, and it should be obviously logans run, the thing is ive seen the film a million times and i dont remember hearing it in there anywhere.

I think I clipped that music from the first few minutes of Logan's Run, as they slowly pan over the model of the city.

SPOILER WARNING! Yes, two of my favorite sci fi films - good comparison here. I though the end was a little abrupt? (But it is in Logan's run film also, though the book series continues on into the rebuilding of a new outside world.) Zardoz continues into their luddite future, but it seems a shame all "the knowledge of time" was lost. The challenge for us in this century is to create an ETHICAL technological utopia that won't need to be destroyed in such a way! ;-)

both of these films are brilliant sci fi masterpieces i love them both but, i love zardoz more becuase of its use of psychological metaphoric imagery.

WTF!!! i cant believe this video exists i just bought both these films on dvd an watched them, didnt even notice how similar they are in that way. this is freaky man!

Whats the music from starting at 1:43 to 2:08?

Nice comparison.

Yup. It's not a good film unless STUFF BLOWS UP! ;-)

Actually, I like both films. Reflections on mortality and all that. I'd just like to know what John Boormann was on when he wrote the screenplay for Zardoz. And how he persuaded Sean Connery to play a scene wearing a wedding dress.

Two of my favorite films of the '70's.
