My stepdad was director Michael Anderson. Thanks for the love for his movie Logan’s Run.
Then your step-brother was the guy who played 'Doc', right?
@@patricktilton5377 yes Michael Anderson Jr. Is my stepbrother who played Doc.
That's something!
I wish you could thank him for me - this is one of my favorite movies. ❤️
One of my all time favourites. Superb
As a hormonal teenager I had a difficult time following the story because of the costumes.
So did every teen boy at that time! 😂 Great time to be alive!
@@ML98837bob I was like NO! Don't kill all those goalies!
@@proto-geek248 yeah, I can see that. That’s a pretty fun observation.
Jenny Agutter... man oh man oh man.
And she's been a nun for 13 seasons now.
I never thought that the sandmen were bad shots, I always thought that they aimed to miss to have more fun.
Indeed.
In the novel, there was different ammunition for different circumstances. For dispatching "runners", there was the "homer", which was a heat-seeking charge. It didn't tend to miss, so there wouldn't have been much shooting; just "BANG", then the runner dying. Not good for sci-fi action, so they changed the guns. (The guns' charges were an interesting study in the callousness of that society..."Tangler", "Ripper", "Nitro", "Needler", "Vapor", and "Homer"...)
Jenny Agutter is still a beautiful lady.
You are correct about that!
ABSOLUTELY😍
A lot of Francis' missing seemed to be deliberate as he was playing with the person he was chasing.
I thought exactly the same thing at that point in the video. When the sandmen missed, they were just being cruel. They did it on purpose like a cat playing with a mouse.
The thought that I came up with to explain the Sandmen's bad aim was that they were playing a sadistic cat and mouse game with the runners.
the Sandman were not bad shots, they were sadistically torturing the runner.
Yeah, I was just going for more of a comedic statement on that one.
1) To this day, I have a total *thing* for Jenny Agutter! When she popped up in the Captain America movie I cheered!
2) I was so-so on the book. The fact that no one raised the kids made it impossible for them to suddenly become all "peace and love" at 14.
3) I will pay for that deleted scene! :)
Haha :-) me too. My wife and I are in London quite a bit and I keep trying to locate her. One of these days I'm going to get her :-) cheers, Dan
Jenny Agutter was the hottest woman alive in 1976
I remember seeing Jenny Agutter in Walkabout when I was in Elementary School. Sure made an impression on me.
Ooh!
No way Lynda Carter easily…..
Jenny Agutter should have gotten an Oscar just for her lack of costume.
Jenny Agutter, 'nuff said!
Beat me to it!!!
I have always interpreted the early chase scene with the Sandmen and the runner as the Sandmen playing with the runner. They were not missing they were toying. I think you might agree if you watch the scene with that idea.
Quite ingenious on Jerry Goldsmith’s part to have the score shift from a synthesizer laden score to a traditional orchestral based one as the action leaves the Dome city for the natural world outside it.
Ahhh, Jessica. Drool.
In the novelization, Box is a human sex offender/serial killer turned into a cyborg as punishment, whose memory wipe doesn't quite change his personality entirely.
Never knew that! Cool!
Great film! I got to meet Farrah when I was 5 in Indian Wells, CA. 1977. She had been playing tennis there and I went up to her and asked if I could give her a hug. She said, "I'll come back after my match." She did and she picked me up and hugged me. Pretty cool!
Mmmm, sweaty Farrah.
@@CraftAeroPossibly, but I don't remember that being the case.
@@CreativeWarrior- That's ok.
In my "memory" she was. 🤩
@@CraftAeroYour version sounds more fun.
I always thought the sandmen were toying with the runners when shooting at them, giving them false hope of escape.
that was exactly it
Yup 100%
You didn't see the same movie if you think Sandmen were bad shots...they were playing with their prey...
This gave them even more character as it showed their sadistic behavior, that they enjoyed it, before killing them
!!!...RUN...RUNNER...!!! From the first encounter, they made a sick game of it!
Another great Hero's Journey of a movie
10:39 - Damn indeed. Jessica was pretty spectacular. She kind of defines that "eyes you can get lost in" thing.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
You're in the wrong century
You repeat everything and learn nothing.
Jenny Agutter... all I need.
I had such a crush on Jenny Agutter. Still do.
I was 12 in 76 when saw this and Jenny Agutter was just so gorgeous. Love the film.
Hers were my first movie boobs.
I had the impression that the sandmen were missing on purpose to toy with their victims.
Yeah you're probably right. I was just being sarcastic :-)
God, sandmen!
You got me on the kolchak episode.
When the sandmen were shooting at the runner they were missing on purpose. They were toying with him.
I remember seeing this in the theaters as a kid. I loved it.
A long time ago, I thought a remake would be cool but not anymore with today's Hollywood and politics. I wouldn't watch a remake. I love Logan's Run.
I think they were missing on purpose. They were toying with the runner and it showed the sadistic side of the Sandmen.
This is exactly how I saw it.
Same. Agreed 💯
I never knew cats have 3 different names until I saw this movie.
When I saw this movie for the first time as a young teen (13 or 14) 30 sounded like a pretty long time.
at 54, it seems incredibly young.
Funny how our conception of time changes as we get older, huh? 56 here.
Jessica (Jenny Agutter) was my first love as a teenager watching this film. Today, at 60, I would still marry her. Farrah was really appealing but, the sex appeal goes to Jenny/Jessica.
I remember seeing this as a kid on a sunday afternoon when they'd just have movies on randomly, it was surprising as it wasn't censored at all and this was the early 1980s.
Ah,those were the days…
Excellent presentation! I saw this movie in 1976 in the theater during its opening run - with my girlfriend. Just loved it. A fond memory. The deeply saturated colors, the costumes, the flame pistols, and the amazing set pieces and FX - really made an impression on my pre _Star Wars_ brain. Dialog a little creaky here and there - and that is especially true when watching today. I think Box the Robot had the most memorable and quotable line in the whole movie: "Fish, and plankton, sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here - fresh as harvest day!" Sometimes I say this when I'm at the grocery store with my wife - and she asks me what's on the shopping list. I make sure to wave my arm out as though I'm saying "Behold" when I get to the "It's all here / harvest day" part. 🙂
To be honest, the Sandmen were missing their targets on purpose as they had a bit of sadistic fun making the Runners jump about, punctuated by laughter.
There's a lot of truth to that. Lines that would be considered "throwaway" indicate that the sandmen looked at it as a sport rather than a job, and wanted a challenge (to some extent).
"Fish! And plankton! And sea-greens! And protein from the sea!
...They stopped coming, and the others started...
...It's my job...to FREEZE YOU!"
“OVERWHELMING!! AM I NOT?!!”
@@stephanielaurenbounds4958 "MY BIRDS! MY BIRDS!!!"
Has Jenny Agutter ever not looked beautiful?🤔❤️
Tell me about it! As a nurse in American Werewolf!
I was 12 years old when I saw Logan's Run in a theater and Jenny Agutter triggered something special in me.
Yeah, I have no doubt LOL
In defense of Francis 7, he was toying with the runner, shooting near him to taunt him. He was missing on purpose.
Back in '76, when I was 17, I must've watched Logan's Run three times in a row, mainly because of Jenny Agutter. I didn't find the movie itself all that entertaining, but Jenny had me totally captivated, way more than Sarah. Later on, Linda Carter made me reconsider that poster on my bedroom wall, but that's a whole other story.
So in 1977, when I was 4, I saw the first release of Star Wars at a drive-in. It was a double feature with Logan's Run as the second showing. And while I would love to say that my mind was blown by Star Wars (this would happen a year later when Star Wars was re-released in 1978 and I watched it in a theater), I'm afraid seeing a nekkid Jenny Agutter was. at that formative moment, much more important than anything else I had experienced in my first 4 years. I carried that memory for 46 years until about 2 weeks ago when I purchased Logan's Run and rewatched. I had good taste, even at 4 years old. 😆😆😆
She was also in Captain America: Winter Soldier playing one of Robert Redford's national security advisors.
I loved Logan's Run when it first came out, and I own it this many years later. I love it just as much. Maybe even more.
One of my favorite sci-fi movies. I particularly liked the old man character played by Mr. Ustinov. I liked the movie's references to the T. S. Elliot book Old Possum's Book...
When my wife and me were dating in early 1980's we frequently lunched at a coffee shop on 44th Street near 6th Ave in NYC. Just down the street from the Algonquin Hotel. Once after lunch, we walked down the street and saw Mr. Ustinov exiting the hotel and tryin' to hail a cab, I asked if he needed help and he said yes. I ran out in the street and stopped a cab, screechin' brake's-n-all. As I open the taxi door for him he shook my hand and said thank you. I met Peter Ustinov!
Saw it at an outdoor theater that unfortunately, no longer exists. Man I miss the Drive In.
This movie was massive fun. Even Box.
The scene where they meet Peter Ustinov and his cats.....Classic, and a nice contrast to the movies overall darker theme. One of my favorites.
Oh, yeah, the costumes....whew!!!!
Oh ****. The Omega Man! The 70's was a great time to be a teenager.
FYI: Lindsay Wagner "Bionic Woman" was going to play Jessica until Jenny Agutter auditioned.
Thank you for this great video on one of my all time favorite movies. The escapism of this movie and the surreal effect it had on 10 or 11 year old me is hard to describe. It really just overwhelmed my senses and took me out of my drab world into one of color and excitement. I'm not sure any film is capable of that anymore since we all have so many colorful and engaging sensory distractions now. But in that time we still had a lot of long and slow and quiet child hood days and seeing a movie like Logan's Run could stay with you for months!
When this was on I actually thought 30 was old lol. Lord what I wouldn't give to be 30 again.
LOL always stay young at heart
Only the gorgeous Jenny Agutter could upstage the gorgeous Farrah Fawcett-Majors (as credited in the film).
Very true :-)
She still looks good! Loved it when she showed up in the MCU Avengers and Captain America:The Winter Soldier.
@@MoviesMusicMonstersI like the video, but you say 'cool' way too much.
Very, very true.
Oh? Ever see a movie called One Million Years B.C.?
Logan's run is one of my favorites.
@9.35 They shot to miss on purpose, hunting runners was a game to them. Run Runner, RUN!
I'm from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Our community was always so proud of this film. I kissed my 1st boy and got high at the Fort Worth Water Gardens. 😁
Lifetime Logan's Run fan. The day I finally was going to see the fountain, somebody from Chicago had drown in it. I wanted to stand on the edge and shout: "You can live...LIVE!!!" but my girlfriend wouldn't let me.
Nice :-)
Jenny Agutter was soooo YUMMY!!
See "Walkabout".....
I love Logan's Run.
As a 9 year old...this film blew my mind...saw the film 6 times at my local movie theater...yes... At 9 and 10 yrs old I sometimes had to con my way into buying a ticket to a rated R movie...it was the 70's...what can I say...😁👍😜
Logan's Run was rated PG. You could definitely get away with a lot more in a PG rated movie in the 70s, particularly nudity.
1:41 I think you mean "Where dystopian societies masquerade as some weird utopia" as opposed to the other way around.
There is no sanctuary
In the mid 80s i had the opportunity to purchase one of the guns.
They used calcium carbide and water to make acetylene gas. And a battery heated wire for combustion.
I miss the days when movie props could be found at Sci-fi conventions.
so you’re the one who got there ahead of me 😂
@@kevink9938 I'd bought collectables from him before and after that. He wanted $250-300 for it. My limit for the weekend was half that. There were several pieces I had to pass on over the years.
Found out over a decade later, my husband worked for him in highschool and college.
Small world.
Loved this movie. I remember going to the theater when it was released, saw it half a dozen times. Still love the movie and have my own DVD. All I have to say is Jenny!
Jessica was the entire reason I watched the movie... those legs! All these years later, still works for me!
Absolute classic. One of my fav pre-80s movies. And Jessica, whooooo-weee 😘😘👌
And who can forget her in An American Werewolf In London! 😀
As a lifelong Logans Run fan, I appreciate any video that brings the property back into the spotlight, so thanks for this Dan! Aside from the groan at the end about a potential female lead for a decades-long talked about remake (like why?), my only real quibble is you credit the book as having been written by William F Nolan only, when the copy of the book you have on your desk, and staring us in the face through the whole video, clearly states it was cowritten by George Clayton Johnson. They both had great careers, but this book launched a phenomenon, and has a passionate fanbase, that, as you correctly noted, exists to this day. Having said all that, I look forward to your video on the Logans Run TV series!
Saw it in the theater. Logans Run was about a year before Star Wars. Had to write a review of it for my high school English class. Still have the comic books!
Haha that's so cool :-) do you still have your report?
I do!! For the class, we had to watch a movie every week and do a review. At the end of the term, the teacher had put them into a pee-chee (remember those?) and returned them to us. I put it in a closet and it was still in my Mom's house!
Jenny Agutter is a classic beauty.Thrilled to have found your channel.
She could make a shower curtain look like high fashion. A whole lotta people went on to be in Babylon 5.
The main reason I wanted to see Logan's Run was I had a crush on Jenny Agutter ever since I saw her in the 1971 movie Walkabout, it remains one of my favourite SCi-Fi movies. It is, in my opinion, a little dated by today's standards and even in 1976 I found the acting a bit off but there was enough action and Jenny Agutter to keep my attention. Peter Ustinov brought much-needed light relief to the movie through his dialogue and acting, especially when his character recites a shortened version of the poem "The Naming of Cats" by T. S. Eliot.
Jenny is and still is gorgeous.
Are you serious? I fell in love with her in Walkabout too!
Watch "China 9, Liberty 37." You get to see a LOT of Jenny, ifyaknowwhatimean.
Nothing happened to Logan's Run. It's beloved by Gen X. Hollywood wants to reboot this. I call for mutiny.
The extra in the ending scene doing the Vulcan salute is one of my best friends. His mother was owner of Wyse Talent Agency in Dallas and got him the part. That scene was filmed at the Forth Worth water gardens.
Thank you for another great video. Also, thank you for pointing out the dystopian nature of a lot of sci-fi in the seventies. I remember catching the negativity of many TV shows and movies when I was a kid. I enjoyed the reruns of the original Star Trek, because they were the most positive sci-fi stories at the time.
The Sandmen were not "missing", they were toying with terrified Runners. Nothing quite like a near miss to get the ol' heart pumping and urine flowing, eh? RUNNER!!!
And later, Jenny would appear fully naked in Equus.
I did read somewhere that the death age of 21 was changed to 30 because of the difficulty of getting the right actors to play the parts of such young leads.
He said that
@@markmiller6402 Yes, he said it was changed, but he didn't give the reason.
One of my all-time favorites! Especially compared to what we get now-a-days masquerading as science fiction! I have and will always love this movie!
"Last Day. Capricorn 15's. Year of the City....2274. Carousel begins!"
Three brilliant British actors.
Thank you Mr. Pal for some of my favorite movies...'War of the Worlds', and 'The Time Machine'. I could watch those until my eyeballs fell out
Loved "Logan's Run". Hollyweird would mess it up if they decided to 'Remake' it. Really enjoy your 'Behind the Scenes' Videos - please keep them coming. If you are looking for ideas, how about "The Wild, Wild, West" Starring Robert Conrad & Ross Martin??? Your Title could be - "Whatever Happened to that Amazing Train?!" I always wanted to see James West teamed-up with the Lone Ranger & Zorro, but that never materialized - TV Executives had NO IMAGINATION back then, lol!!! Stay Motivated.
I had such a crush on Jenny Agutter.
get in line
I downloaded the nudes 😄
I also liked her in American Werewolf In London.
@@bhodili-3396 Same.
heck, yeah, I had that poster - but, I fell in love with Jenny Agutter
I think Jenny Agutter had it written into her contract that she had to get naked in every movie she was in. She also got naked in Equus and Walkabout. I suspect Nastassja Kinski had a similar clause in her contract.
@@graemesmith6721
You forgot An American Werewolf in London, where she played the nurse.
@@ooneybird27 Oh yes, I had forgotten that!
Jenny Agutter was my young fantasy for a long time. I loved her. When I saw her again in Marvel's Captain America : Winter Soldier I just couldn't believe it. She's still stunning.
I was a floor covering installer in 1983. The crew I was with spent several months in the Dallas Apparel Mart in the World Trade Center recovering the floors, about 20,000 yards of carpet. That's when I learned about parts of Logan's Run having been filmed there. The Great Hall was really impressive. I say "was" because the Apparel Mart was torn down in 2004(?) to make room for a larger building. The Fort Worth Water Gardens was also mentioned. I've visited it. Still there and still impressive.
How cool would it be if when and if they make a remake they cast Michael York as the old man ?
I was ten when this movie came out and living with my cousin Doug that year who was also ten. I remember seeing the movie and we did have that poster of Farrah on the wall.
When I was a child and watched this (or was it the TV show....??? I can't remember. LOL!) I was amazed at the guns! I loved how they would shoot the flash out the muzzle. It looked so cool. I am glad you mentioned them here.
I've just found your channel, i'm 54 and love all sci fi, gonna binge watch your fine work sir thank you so much, much love from the UK
The actress was smoking hot!!
Another scene cut from the final print was near the beginning of the movie, as Francis pursues and terminates a Runner in Arcade. The crowd applauds as Francis makes the kill, and the camera zooms in to the Runner's lifeclock as it goes black. The scene then dissolves into a closeup of a clear lifeclock as the camera pans back out to show one of the new babies in Nursery.
I would love to see a remake of Logan's Run. Especially if Mike York was cast as the old man.
That's brilliant! Or, how about mixing up the cast and find an old Jenny Agutter! They changed Starbuck to a female, why not make a little change to a Logan's Run remake?
Yes, we had the Farrah poster,
Loni Anderson too.
I'm 54 and saw Logans Run on VHS is the mid 80s. Oddly, the older I grow, the more accurate it feels. Thank you US healthcare.
I'm a big fan of Logan's Run. It's one of those films that you can watch over and over again!
I totally agree :-) it never gets old, unlike us LOL
I loved the show Logans Run as a kid! Was such a cool tv show!
Being a blonde vision of delight helps you anywhere.
I heard the Vulcan salute guy did it so his family would be able to spot him when the saw the film in the theatre.
The Deep Sleep guns we're fueled by calcium carbide and water which produces acetylene gas not butane.
Box said that he was "More than machine or man, more that a fusion of the two." So who knows, he could have been a robocop cyborg type thing.
Farrah and I share a great grandmother, so we were second cousins, but I didn't know that when this movie came out. I was 16 and in love with her like all my friends were. Yes, we ALL had the poster! As far as me and my friends were concerned, If you didn't have that poster, there was just something wrong with you. Great times.
I never got the Farah thing. Then again, the dumb blond schtick was never my jam either. Now, Jenny A, whoa, what a looker.
dear netflix,........... please DO NOT make a remake!
Loved this movie. Jennie Agutter naked was a childhood favorite!!
I loved the film, being an impressionable teenager back then, and it's definitely a classic in my eyes. Unlike Dan, I quite liked Box, even if it did seem a bit on the flimsy side, probably due to the weirdness of the body shape and head, not to mention the voice. In this respect, the robot just felt 'different', as did the film itself. As for Jenny Agutter, well, what a fine, very attractive actress she was. Michael York was simply perfect for his role, too. This was an ambitious, star-studded film that fully deserves this excellent review, and it certainly brings back some wonderful memories. Thanks a lot, Dan, and greetings from England.
loved the movie AND your review. The 70s was a awesome decade for Sci-Fi
Don’t forget that novel’s second author, George Clayton Johnson, who also gave us “Ocean’s 11”, and the first aired episode of Star Trek.
Logans Run is a classic. I wish for a 4K version with a lot of bonus material..
