Discussion Any thoughts on Zardoz?

I saw this movie when I was in a vacation when me and my brother stayed up and we were 10 and 12. It’s super bizarro with ultra violence, and lots of nudity, and Sean Connery flying around in a stone triangle. So much to unpack it ha to be one of the strangest big celebrity movies I have ever seen.

Watch Outland instead. It's a much more interesting, lesser-known, Sean Connery genre movie. Or The Hill. Or The Offence...

Outland is one of those movies where I’m surprised it never got immortalized in the same way as something like Blade Runner.

It is a visual feast, and atmospheric as hell. And the cat and mouse games in the climax are pretty thrilling with some surprisingly gnarly violence. It’s a damned good ride.

In my opinion, Outland feels like a spin-off to Alien, set in the same universe.

The set was made by the same team that made the alien sets if I remember correctly
