Logans Run was my first glimpse of a naked woman in a movie. I was 12, and saw it the theatre with my friend. This lady had a heart attack in the theatre, but we went back to the movie after they took her away.
Anyway, it’s an awesome script, great actors, and although they seemed to have had a small budget and clunky special effects, it’s actually not too bad, for a pre star wars Sci fi flick.
Farrah Fawcett is in it, too, I think her first movie.
The story grabs you because most people in this future kind of go along with the stupidity of being raised off the ground into some whirring blades in the ceiling, after their hand turns from glowing white to red when they turn 30…Presumably to keep the population the same. Noone can leave the domed city. Noone knows what’s out there. Information is tightly controlled, so it sounds like a communist country, but then again, you apparently don’t have to work, and just lay around having sex and fun.
What is out there is basically a blown up post wwiii earth, alot like Planet of the Apes, when Heston finds the statue of liberty. This couple who runs finds a fat Peter Ustinov, and his 300 cats.
Watch for the scene where Farrah gets sliced by the plastic surgery laser, the crystal snowcave nudity scene, and actually, I liked that Ustinov scene. (He lives in the Washington Monument or Library of congress, all covered in vines.)
