I was an extra when they filmed in Dallas; was 16 and was cast as a "green." The experience was great but the costume was awful. Very thin cheap polyester. It was summer, but air-conditioning was cranked so high that all women were freezing. Men had more substantial outfits, and didn't have the "no underwear" requirement for some reason. We were allowed to bring a sweater to wear in-between scenes. I had a one-shoulder toga design with gold belt and gold bracelet on my upper arm. The hardest part was walking in those slippers. They didn't have any traction on bottom--literally just polyester fabric with elastic. Made if difficult to run in the panic scenes as floors were slick. Talk about a fun summer job!
Thank you so much for sharing that Rene!
Lololo I bet it was!!
I went to High school with Rene Mars, but we were in Victoria, not Dallas.
There wouldn't be any reason for men to have a "no underwear" requirement when wearing pants. Many women, even during restrictive times, go to clubs in dresses or skirt without any underwear. Today many Hollywood women are once again prancing around in little outfits with nothing underneath. It is not to difficult to imagine a time, probably in the not-too-distant future, where society restrictions lessen and women will be wearing some toga like outfit without underwear. What women wear usually has no relation to what men are or aren't doing.
@@stickman1742 My friends and I went to clubs a lot back in the day and never went without underwear. I have young nieces now who also have no desire to go sans undergarments when out with friends. Celebrities are rarely representative of the general public. Believe it or not, many guys didn't wear underwear in the late 60s and throughout 70s--in keeping with the sexual revolution as well as a more laid-back attitude. So Logan's Run wasn't actually conforming to the times by costuming men more modestly than women. That was just the Hollywood double standard, but in real life it was different.
Jennifer Agutter wa heartstoppingly beautiful, and yet somehow still carried off that "girl next door" look.
You hit the nail on the head sir
She and Olivia Newton-John - a pair of angels.
Jenny Agutter is too beautiful . She is always the stuff that dreams are made of .
My first thought exactly. Although York didn't want to do the movie initially, her inclusion in the cast was a stroke of inspiration. Any red-blooded human male...or female for that matter...over the age of 50 would agree. Farrah notwithstanding, Agutter was the preeminent starlet of the film. Loved her in that unexpected role in the episode of HBO's Dream On as Martin's weekly love interest, and in An American Werewolf In London---both tongue-in-cheek roles which were not usually a part of her repertoire.
Indeed she was. Jenny Agutter was also stunning in "The Eagle Has Landed," which was the first time I saw her.
Farrah Fawcett wasn't bad either...
@@fluff1353 Good actress. she often had a decency and a sense of urgency in her roles, certainly here and in American Werewolf.
You know it's funny, any video about Logans Run that you look in the comments section without a doubt the majority of the comments are about Jenny Agutter, don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's undeserving, quite the contrary, that woman certainly did cast a spell on men all across the world back in the day that's for sure.
I was 10 when this film came out.All I could remember was Jenny Agutter in that mini skirt.She was an absolute doll.
Same here. *sigh*
@@lessmith5285 IKR.What can you do,young boys and raging hormones😁😁😁😁😁.
Me too!
@@LouieLouie3 haha,I would say there was a big fan club of adolescent boys back in the day for the glorious Jenny.
Wot are you walking about?
It's 2022 and I'm firmly on my way to 70 - but Jenny Agutter still my makes heart throb!
I'm 63, and for me, something else is throbbing . . .
@@misterwhipple2870
Beat me to it!😂😂
totally agree. still my dream girl
I'll watch anything with Jenny Agutter in it...ANYTHING.
Well have you seen her in An American Werewolf in London?
@@Costume_CO I have! Delicious.
"Walkabout" was one of her early films, was streaming recently on one of my Roku apps. Story line, she and her little brother get abandoned/lost in the Australian outback.
@@pete49327 She was so very young in that, although she was also in a BBC production of _The Railway Children_ (three different times!) as an even younger girl. _Walkabout_ is an interesting movie on a number of levels, but likely not to everyone's tastes.
But you must see her cameo on _Red Dwarf._ She's such a class act.
@mark jagger lady I love what you are wearing
I really liked Jenny Agutters costume in the ice cave scenes!!
same😄
Oh yeah!🎉
Right!
@@harrylime8077 The birthday suit!
Logan’s DS gun was an actual working prop. The flame that comes out of the barrel is real. So is the sound it makes. It is basically a blowtorch in it’s function. The tube at the rear of the gun holds a piece of calcium carbide and a couple of CC’s of water which combined form acetylene gas. The trigger opens a valve which releases the gas that hits a red hot glow plug in the barrel igniting the gas making the flame and sound. A few shavings of magnesium gave the flame its greenish colour
Thanks for sharing Truck.
I got to fire that gun. Surprised by the kick of the gun. Michael York was a very nice man who arranged my opportunity to fire the gun at a convention.
@@RealMechDruid That is awesome! I would love to get my hands on one. Every time Michael York fires it on screen you can see him flinch a little bit. I read somewhere that the actor who played Francis got a nasty burn on his leg from it. Apparently when he was drawing the gun in a scene he accidentally hit the trigger.
So awesome!
Now that was a cool practical effect. I miss those days.
One of my favorite scifi movies. Highly underrated, imo. Saw it in the theater and loved everything about it. The costumes were so right for the film I'm glad to see he made the Hall of Fame.✌🏻🐱
Thanks for commenting Phoenix.
I saw it the theater too as a teenager, they had such good movies back then!
I was scrolling down anticipating the annoying UNDERRATED comment(s) and it didn't take long. The film was NOT Underrated at all fool.
One of the most memorable scenes in the movie for myself was when Logan was "reviewing" his "entertainment choices" for the evening and another guy got transported in and gave Logan the eye. He chuckles to himself and sends the guy on his way like it was no big deal. It was one of the very few overt homosexual references in 70's genre media that didn't have a tragic outcome for the character. WAY ahead of its time! Interestingly enough I don't think I've ever seen a cut of the film here in the States that excised it even back in 70's & 80's.
I've seen that cut here in Canada in the past. I can't remember if it was in every tv version I've seen or not. I do remember it though.
They predicted Tinder and Grinder!
Age 11 when I saw it when it came out. I remember that scene,lol.
The Sandman uniform is iconic. Even now it is instantly identifiable. I had not realized before this video how well it served to separate the sandmen from the other characters.
Thank you so much for commenting Charlotte!
I liked that design so much that as a high school student in the early 80s, I made myself a pullover shirt like the Sandman tunic. However, I switched grey for red with the accent stripe. Even all these years later, I'd like to have a Sandman costume to wear.
I don't know about ya'll, but I came here just for Jessica's costume.
Bingo!
I have watched this DVD over and over again just for Jenny Agutter's costumes. Farah Fawcett's appearance in the movie was a bonus. I didn't realize until this video that the citizens' costumes were color coordinated to their age group. Kudos to Bill Thomas.
I had no idea either! I even saw this when it came out, in a movie theater.
Are you sure it was Ms Agutter's costumes you were interested in?😊
@@gedofgont1006 I'll admit, Ms. Agutter is very easy on the eyes.
That "skimpy revealing outfit", Jennifer, has immortalized you on-screen.....not many can say the same of their own career....
Very true!
@norman smithers and was also to be seen fully unclothed in “Walkabout”, an absolutely wonderful film showcasing Australia’s picturesque outback.
@norman smithers the shower scene.And her co-star - the lucky dude.
Equus, as well.
It made me think of what Jerri Ryan said recently about playing Seven-of-Nine in Star Trek Voyager. She complained about being objectified. Except, she certainly had no issue cashing the checks and even going to Star Trek conventions. And people act like that was the 20th century and things are different now. Err, no. There are just as many movies/shows now with skimpy outfits and even nudity. If anything, the amount of female nudity is going back up. All shows have to do is have a guy show his ass, and they can put all the female nudity in it they want because of equality. (Not complaining).
It took me an hour before I realized that Jessica was Sister Julienne from “Call the Midwife.” She is still a beautiful and skilled actor.
I still cannot believe how gorgeous Jenny Agutter was in this movie. I know that I am not alone, when I say that I had the biggest crush on her! Great movie, Cult classic!
Check her out in the movie, "The Eagle Has Landed."
@@joebombero1 - And don't forget, "An American Werewolf in London." Stunning performance.
Not quite as sexy in "Call the Midwife" today...but much better acting.
I thought her performance in Spooks (MI5) and American Werwolf were some of her best work.
Definitely a babe by any standards.
Forget her...I so had it bad for Basil...Michael York and that voice...OMG!
Who doesn’t remember Jenny Agguter in Logan’s Run, she was and is absolutely gorgeous.
Little Jenny Agutter looked fantastic in her little green dress.
Jenny Agutter was a dream come true.
The Australian film "Walkabout" and "Logan's Run" absolute crush material for guys back in the day.
She was feminine perfection.
Check out Jenny in An American Werewolf In London..
So right, I was and still am in love with her, she is still stunning
Equus. Nuff Said!
Logan's Run, Soylent Green, Westworld, Planet of the Apes were movies I watched as a kid, Incredible times in cinema
Yes, I loved them all!
Same here. These films and the Logan's Run series were iconic films for me.
Dystopian sci fi... really love them .
Films that never really have a happy ending...!
I think the only one there I haven't seen is Silent Running but I know it's a cult classic.
Yeah, loved Clockwork Orange, The Exorcist and The Omen as well
It's rare these days but every now and again the algorithm delivers a gems. This is one. Great channel.
Awe, thank you so much Zig uncut!
In algorithms we trust
Jenny makes this movie .. One of the best sci-fi films ever made.
No she doesn't. She's good, but in no way MADE this film. This film was great because of everything.
Have you read the comments?
@@larryparks1520 Most people who saw this video in their feed didn't think "Ooh Logan's Run, that fantastic sci-fi classic", they thought "Ooh Logan's Run, that film where Jenny Agutter wears little to nothing."
@@larryparks1520 You seem somewhat oversensitive to someone who clearly is a fan of Jenny Agutter. To Agutter fans, and there are a lot, she makes the movie. Why does that bother you so much?
@@stickman1742 No, not at all. Just saying, everything about this film was great. As a kid, it was the Sandmen's guns that made it. But like any great film, it's a perfect storm of talents coming together.
One of my all time favorite movies. Excellent cast and story.
There is a fantastic swimming centre by me with chutes and waves etc. You only get 45 minutes to stay there, and they give you a colour-coded wristband in exchange for your locker key to indicate when you got in. Then, when your time is up, a display at the front flashes to show that you have to leave the pool then, get your locker key back and get changed. It always made me think of the coloured jewels in Logan's Run to show how much time you had left to live!
I saw the movie when I was nine and not ashamed to admit that I was so mesmerized by Jenny Agutters hemline that by the end, I totally forgot what the movie was about.
😂 I was like that with Harrison Ford. 😊
Well...Wow.
I have a soft spot for Logan's Run because I saw it in its original theatrical run when I was 12 y/o and into StarLog and model-building...So I was more obsessed with the special effects and focused on the miniatures than what the actors were wearing.
I thought I knew enough details about Logan's Run by now...But you bring up all of these wonderful wardrobe facts and history that I never knew about before.
The next time I watch Logan's Run...I'm going to remember your video and release my inner Tim Gunn on on all of those costumes and appreciate them all the more.
Thank you so much Kendrick. Well, I'm a bog fan of the movie myself. I have always loved it since I was a kid and I really enjoyed learning all of these details as well. Your Tim Gunn comment is hilarious btw. :)
Yep...same here! For awhile, my "dream job" was to be a SFX model builder... :)
The female lead in that movie, in that dress, WOW😍
Yes, she looks amazing.
@@Costume_CO *the outfit looked better on her than it would have on the male lead that's a given*
I loved watching this movie and the series that followed. As a kid in the 70's , I was thrilled to get to watch shows like this, along with Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica.
Thanks Johnny, I loved both of those shows as well. Biddy, biddy, biddy, hiya Buck!
I was 7 when Logan's Run hit the theatre. My friends and I were impressed. Then we all know what happened a year later- it was like Plato's Cave Allegory. Jenny Agutter was a stunner! 🤩
I was 17, but I have to agree . . .
This is one of the most beautifully created documentary I've seen! Thank You for a job well done!
Ah, thank you so much for your kind words.
I think Logan's Run is *the* iconic 1970s sci-fi movie. I mean the domed city is basically a giant shopping mall! ;-)
Yeah, even then I recognized that it looked like a shopping mall. But malls were everything back then and it made sense that they might expand to become living spaces.
@@aliannarodriguez1581 It still makes sense even now to turn abandoned shopping malls into post-apocalyptic living quarters--I want the B. Dalton's spot!
@@aliannarodriguez1581 I wished that as a kid in the 70's
Jenny Agutter could make any costume look good.
A caftan like he wore for loungewear is one of the easiest clothing items to make with the right pattern and material. Mostly straight seam sewing. I feel like making one:-)

An old favorite of mine! Made a bigger impact on me than Star Wars in 1977!
Thanks for commenting Bill. One of my favourites too.
Me too
I named my son after Logan’s Run.Still one of my favourite films in my heart
It was on my list too! Thank you for commenting!
How is Little Run doing these days? ;)
One tiny issue with the name is that many people would think you named him after one of the Xmen.
@@jaymesguy239 I believe he was named LOGAN..
His 30th birthday might be a little rough.
Fantastic video. I collect Logan's Run memorabilia, and among my items, I have a screen worn Sandman tunic displayed in my home under glass. Love the costume commentary and analysis in this video, very informative! Thanks!
Thank you very much! I'd love to see some of your memorabilia! Would you mind emailing me heidi@costumeco.ca?
The ultimate collectible in the collection? Jenny Agutter! ❤️
Man that's really cool, do you know which Sandman wore it?
I first saw Logan's Run when I was 17, and Michael York's costume confused me. Since it was almost all black, I didn't notice that the tunic was separate from the shirt and wondered where the gray quilted patch went after it got torn up. This is an interesting video, informative and well-narrated. (Looking at Jenny Agutter's sleek, bare side certainly isn't dull, either.)
Thank you so much for your comment. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
Same here.
The Carousel scene always reminds me of something that would happen at the Olympics opening ceremonies.
Hopefully without the mass murder!
Maybe they will make it an Olympic sport.
The Carousel costumes were used in the old Battlestar Gaalactia series.
I remember staying up late one night as a kid and seeing this movie, it kind of seemed like a warning for the future!
Interesting, thanks. This is one of the few movies I recalled the costumes from, even though they were not overtly 'design-heavy. The simplicity is what made them memorable. I was 20 when it came out - I remember liking the sandman shirts - would have worn one! FYI: According to IMDB, the colour-coding according to age is from the original novel.
It's quite possible that they took the color-coding from the books but adjusted the ages, maybe the colours. Thank you for commenting!
In the book has the age limit is lower (21) and the age marker is a tattoo on their hand that changes colour as they age. In the highest age (14-21) bracket it's red, turning black on your 21st birthday.

I quite liked Jenny's "birthday suit " !
Great clip and film. The other iconic/distinct props were the Sandman's Flame Gun/Pistol with it's overdubbed sound, the 'crystals'/'Life clocks' that flashed red (in the hand), and the computer with it's female voice. I had the pleasure of seeing the film in the Cinema on the big screen with the accompanying sound quality. Every now and then a supposed remake is announced but it falls through, do we really need one at all now.
Wow! Tons of great info, including a lot of details I hadn't heard before, with no filler and good pacing. You know how to make a great presentation. I immediately subscribed.
I thought it was excellent that you gave us some background by showing what designers were doing in the real world at that time, because it clearly, as you demonstrated, influenced the costume design in the movies. I also liked the little background tidbits about the actors as well. Movie-making is fascinating, especially back then, and you have piqued my enthusiam with your video about this classic movie. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Rick. I'm a huge fan as well and I always try to think about what I would want to know. I really appreciate your kind comment.
Thanks for the detailed look at the costumes of one of my favourite films! The Sandman costumes always stood out to me: Simple, yet made dynamic and memorable with the grey stripe on the shirt.
Thanks Zardoz, it's in my top ten for sure. I also love the Sandmen costumes. Very simple and elegant.
@@Costume_CO You also made me aware, for the first time after all these years (first time I saw it was in the theatre in 1976), about the subtle shade differences in the reds and greens. So many viewings and I never picked up on that.
Nice selection of images in the the video too, some of which I've never seen before.
Thank you!
I love Logan's Run so much that I watch it once a year. I don't really understand you Michael York being stubborn could bring down an entire computer system that runs a entire city but overall it was an amazing film. Loved the fashion statements.
This movie was one that I didn't get to see right away, but definitely one of my favorites! Jenny was so fetching in that outfit, I never knew she felt awkward in it until I watched this video. Nowadays it probably wouldn't be considered so risque!
As an employee at a children's theatre, making props and painting sets, I am fascinated by the production work of some of my favourite films.
Thanks for commenting LouLou
Really? Do they need help? I used to make props and looking for work. Seriously.
@@bohem5568 Do you live in southern Ontario, Canada?
@@jlouutube65 Unfortunately no. I live in the U.S,. Northern Ohio area. But I am an artist who sometimes does freelance work.
Its not surprising that there was lots for “free love” as the authors also had written for Playboy. I was 12 when it came out. They re-released the book for the movie. Weird thing is there was a Catholic book club for parochial schools that listed the book to buy. That’s where I bought and read it. It was much more graphics than the movie. My guess is someone at the book club had no idea what was in it.
Catholic scholars are no joke. You can bet they knew that kids would like the titillation but get the message that such societies are doomed.
The Screenplay for Logan's Run was written by the late David Zelag Goodman (he also co-wrote Straw Dogs with Sam Peckinpah).
It's hard not to see a movie about aimless pretty people, who indulge in free love until they hit 30 and then everything's all over for them as a kind of cultural commentary given it's a 70's movie.
The movie was a childhood fave, but it is full of logical problems and the screenwriter's hack-job introduced still more issues, in addition to him having plagarised Arthur C. Clarke to a certain extent. It's now hard for me to forgive the many flaws in the movie.
I read the book some time after the movie came out and I much preferred the more glamorous settings in the movie. The book was just plain depressing.
Thanks for a wonderful video. It was much more interesting than I thought it would be. The costumes were great, and Jenny Agutter was so sensual the in way she was dressed WOW!!!
The movie came out in 1976, the I graduated from high school. Coincidentally, in my senior year, I was taking a film art class and was doing movie making. Back then there was no such thing as digital photography, and working from Super8 film was a nightmare.
This movie had one innovative feature that is often overlooked. I think this was THE VERY FIRST movie to use holograms in it. They were the "multiplex" type. However, the difficulty in making them and the limits of their applications made them impractical.
GREAT COSTUMES!!!😁
Thank you for your comment kab kab.
Yes, holograms were going to be future of imaging. Heard that for many years. Guess they did wind up having a niche use though.
I remember them saying on the dvd extras that originally the girls were all supposed to be like Jenny’s costume but given the ages they didn’t think it would fly with the censors.
Thank you for making this channel, seriously is the only channel that I know that talks heavily about this stuff is amazing. You deserve more views.
Thank you so much Billy!
I remember reading a article in a 2002-‘03 that they were going to do a remake of Logan’s run, they did, but after several rewrites it became “The Island” with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, right down to their names, Lincoln Six Echo and Jordan Two Delta. When you watch the two, you can see the similarities and of course the differences.
Thanks so much Cryptid, I recall that they were visually similar, but I forgot about the names.
The Carousel scene worked so well because of those amazing costumes and set. I remember seeing stills when I was a kid, and had to the film. Loved it
Thanks callen!
I made a Logan costume for my husband. Great movie! Great costumes!
So cool! Can you send me a picture?
@@Costume_CO sure, where can I get the photo to you?
Can you email me heidi@costumeco.ca? Do you mind if I share it on social media?
This is in-depth. Very good. Cheers for uploading. One of my favourite films. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved this episode! Very well done Costume Co. A wonderful, detailed, behind-the-scenes look at the costumes of one of my fave science fiction movies. I agree with you that "Logan's Run" does feel a bit "cheesy" today, but I first saw it in the movies when it came out in '76 and still love it. Excellent work on this. One of the best things I've seen on YT in ages. Subscribed :)
Thank you so much! What a lovely comment!
Love this film.I have always loved sci-fi ,and durning a con in the late 70,s ,i met the man who desisned & built the pistols from this film.he was showing one off.I got to hold it.Man ,to be 13 ,& meet these guys,so cool.

I love Jessica's skimpy outfit. But am surprised this movie came up because it's a long lost classic. Also it would be nice if one could place a picture to the voice behind the video. And what is your favorite costume of all time ?
@@Matlockization The narrator has other videos showing herself while interviewing others. They are quite good, check them out!😃
Great video! I watched the movie recently for the first time and I loved the whole thing, especially the look of the people! Great job putting it all together.
Thanks Annette. What did you think of the movie watching it through a 2022 perspective?
Only Jenny Agutter could make Farrah Fawcett look common.
Indeed!
Surprised there was no mention that you can see the entire film crew in Box's mirrors.
I saw it at the Cinerama Dome, when I lived in Hollywood. I had a crush on Michael York when I was younger.
Very cool terese. Thank you for commenting.
@@Costume_CO 😁
I love videos like this. I do semi-professional theatrical costuming so finding out how other costumers came up with their ideas and executed them is fascinating to me. I am not a designer but rather a technician. I have to work with a designer because I honestly can't come up with the ideas that a true designer does. I do work with a designer locally for our regional theater groups, thankfully. She creates the designs and the looks for our characters in whatever show we're doing together and I make them happen. Once I get a template, I'm good. Seeing how others achieve this always interests me so, yeah, I love that you posted this video for us.
This movie is one of the top movies filled with nothing but attractive, fit actors/actresses.
I don't think Logan's Run is cheesy. I think it's a great film.
I love the movie. Just meant compared to all of the special effects and CGI we have now.
@@Costume_CO Yea of course but even then the film sill has a certain indi quality to it. The reason is I believe is that audiences are more sophisticated and much more unforgiving of visual effects then they once were. At least you'd be forgiven for thinking that. Then you watch the latest Star Wars movies where they've brought back some really poor looking costume based alien creations into the franchise purely because it was what fans wanted. having said that they were a niche audience and this doesn't really speak to movies on the whole. If this film were released today with the same cast as they were then of course, I don't think they'd need to do a whole lot to it as the story is great and it's not really an effects based extravaganza like say a Star Wars or Star Trek type move where people go to be visually amazed. I'd put this in the same category as Planet of the Apes or Soilent Green.
And I love Soilent Green and Planet of the Apes. 😊
@@Costume_CO They're all pretty cool dystopian futuristic flicks.

Now that's a classic old movie! Wow, brings back the memories! 😇
Excellent analysis. I saw the movie when it opened at Northpark mall in Dallas - for me the best thing about the movie was the soundtrack. I bought it on an 8-track cassette and played it until it fell apart.
Thank you so much for commenting hardtfelt!
Came across this quite unexpectedly. Enjoyable 20 minutes.
Thanks. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Mmmmm....Jenny Agutter...my first crush because of her costume
On TCM they had 10 min segment on the movie from 1976. A promo that had David Hasselhoff dressed as a Sandman.
In the book the age ranges were in groups of seven, not ten. People died on their 21st birthday not their 30th. They changed this for the movie because they couldn't find a leading man anyone had heard of who could pass for 20.
It just occurred to me that Jenny Agutter would've been a good choice to play Princess Leia instead of Carrie Fisher.
Interesting thought….
I've seen the movie dozens of times (including the theater when new) and never noticed many things pointed out. And to say, Jenny is still a doll. Try to see past the effects of age.
Thank you so much for commenting!
i'm not a costume enthusiast but I really enjoyed this video and stepping through all of the scenes and costumes for Logan's Run - this is a very well produced and interesting video.
Thank you so much Nelson. I really appreciate your kind words.
Always good to have some cultural context, and others as well.
*At the **0:25** mark, I suddenly realized that with the scale model city that they used, Logan's Run could have been re-imagined as a Godzilla movie... Damn... What could have been...*
Fascinating :). And not just because of Farrah and Jenny :chuckles:. You have inspired me to watch the film again :thumbs up:. Maybe I shall see if the series is findable online too - I never got to see it when I was young so, even if it is terrible, I won't be bursting any golden memory bubbles :D.
Ohhhhh my gosh, I just realized that Jennifer Agutter would later play Sister Julienne in Call a Midwife! :O Shock to the system. What an amazing actress!
It was an entertaining series I enjoyed . ❤️
This was WAY ahead of its time and those who created it had vision !
Thank you so much for commenting!
Just my opinion but Jenny made Fara look like a dog.
And believe me that wasn’t easy :)
Well i wouldn't say that. But she definitely gave Farrah a run for her money.
The glammed up gorgeous babe vs the natural beauty with a girl-next-door look.
I saw Farrah in person, 2 feet away. She looked burned out.
I think Jenny is more classic looking and Fara's style is more of her time. Had she been born 30 years later, Jenny would have been offered every "elf" role going.
Farah's best features were her fantastic figure and hair.. without those she probably wouldn't have been considered any great beauty. Also, Jenny Agutter's voice contributed to her level of attractiveness.
@@craigclemens986 how long ago?
She died of a particularly horrible form of cancer.
They could have financed the movie by selling "Leg Make Up Technician " apprenticeships.
That would have been a fun job for someone haha!
Years ago I bought a Sandmans blaster movie prop. It still had some scoring on the barrel from the charges placed there. Still one of my favorite things to look at, and indispensable if you go costumed.
Thank you so much for sharing Charles. Do you still have it?
Sorry to say no. I was a club DJ back in the 80s and 90s, and I did a lot of dances at Sci Fi and Fantasy conventions. I left some personal effects along with a ton of Vinyl under the table that held my equipment, complerely out of sight because of the table cloth. In one night someone snuck into the ballroom and stole everythig. The blaster, my Sandman tunic, and over 100 records. Broke my heart.
I read the book, & when I watched the movie I have zero memory of the movie. I only remember the girl's dress. This TH-cam video is a cool refreshing retro, but it's also beautifully tongue-in-cheek...
Thank you!
Masks in the carousel too. Perfect to go shopping in 2020/21
After viewing your video, I now know where the idea for Victoria's Secret came from. After seeing this movie at a local theater, I had a delightful dream. I was a member of the Removal Squad. Our mission was to remove lady's bras, put them in a pile, and destroy them with our laser pistols. Shucks' I never had that dream again.
Set designs are mind-blowing....Art Direction at its best!
yaay Heidi, you are killing it this quarantine!, your videos are better than ever
Farrah Fawcett was so gorgeous...
Thanks so much Vanessa. I will get back to our series this week. Agree about Farrah Fawcett. 😊
Think about this. How beautiful was Jenny Agutter? Farrah Fawcett was in this movie and she was the second prettiest woman in the film. That is how much of a beauty Jenny Agutter was.
Yeah, Farrah Fawcett just looks so OTT cheesily American next to the rather more demure and vulnerable Jenny!
Amazing! Eye opening! Thank you for all your fantastic work on this great film!
Thanks John!
The scene where Jessica joins a group of fellow potential runners to plot Logan’s demise was filmed in the lobby of the World Trade Center in Dallas. I used to work in the building next door and would walk over to the Trade Center for lunch. It was quite a lark eating in the same spot where that infamous gathering took place. I even thought about dressing as a Sandman on Halloween, but chickened out.
Thanks so much for sharing Neal. Very cool story.
Jenny Agutter ranks up with Debbie Harry, Agnetha from ABBA and Louise Jameson (Leela from Dr Who) as my childhood crushes. I remember watching Walkabout at school in the early 80's because we was reading it and trust me for once the boys behaved.
Thanks for commenting Paul.
She was only 16 at the time of that movie.
One of the scenes in the movie was in Fort Worth, Texas. (Water Gardens)
Thanks for sharing. :)
I visited Ft Worth two years ago and made it a point to visit the water gardens. Sadly, there were homeless all around.
@@CryptidWalks I started to think that the homeless would be most likely to get COVID19. I hope they are wearing masks, too.
What an incredible channel. I love how objective, yet informative your commentary is.
I've watched and read just about everything about the production of Logan's Run, but you present information I'd never heard of before.
Wow, thank you so much. I am pretty biased though, I loved this movie. 😍
I remember when this came out and dreaming about dressing like the characters in the movie. I had a thing about colors that either matched or complemented each other, my only change was going to be boots that matched the color of the tights/leggings for the men and sandals for the women.
I still think that this is a wonderful carefree movie.
Thanks for commenting Michael.
The voice in my boyfriend's car radio/bluetooth screen sounds EXACTLY like the computer in the sandman's station.
Calm and sultry? 😋
