Logans Run was my first feature film that I worked on. I was one of the cubs. Bill Couch was the stunt coodinator. He came to CSUN looking for young gymnasts for tumbling and mini tramp. He found me, Mitch Gaylord, his brother Chuck and a few others for the cub scene. It was a fun time in my life and the beginning of my stunt career.
That is wonderful! LOGAN'S RUN is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time! I watched it in the theaters and I continue to rewatch it often on blu-ray and digital! Thanks for being one of the cubs! That's a great scene!
Useless trivia: Jenny Agutter is in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. She's the World Security Councilperson that Black Widow impersonates. You also see her briefly in The Avengers.
I remember Hartman's character telling another that he had once tried to impress a woman by telling her his favorite movie was Ingmar Bergman's Persona. When asked what his actual favorite was, he answered Logan's Run. I think it was supposed to sound low brow.
Jenny Agutter's costume when we are introduced to her was something to behold as it was essentially a very thin light poncho held together by 2 light chains on the side worn without underwear.
I was a boy when I first saw that scene showing abandoned buildings like the capital in ruins. For some reason that had quite an affect on me. It stirred my post apocalyptic imagination.
I work for Congress and whenever I see the Capitol building or drive by the reflecting pool I'm reminded of the scenes from Logan's Run. If one considers the direction from which they come, the domed city would have been located south of DC.
I really don't care what many say of this movie, and the fact it deviates from the book, it is still one of my favorite movies, and I love watching it from time to time! Just plain great fun, and wonderfully made!
I agree with you 100%. There was . . . something . . . about the movie that captivated me. I could name a number of things, but yet, the sum of them don't total to the "why"; the "why" defies logic. There only thing I can say is that it's everything about the movie. Also, I do as you do . . . I pull the movie out of my collection and watch it every so often.
@Linda Niemkiewicz The screenplay is an adaptation of the book of the same name, by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. It's science fiction dealing with population stabilization. (In the book it's 21 but the movie it was changed to 30.) Also, added in is the belief of "renewal" (reincarnation) via Carousel. The mega-cities are not all underground, as such, but domed, so much is also above ground, but not "Outside". About Box: he's not a robot, but a cyborg. His story is in the book: he stores and preserves food . . . and what he was doing with the runners was in following his prime directive. Hope this helps. 🐱
@Linda Niemkiewicz Hi, Linda. Logan 5 was given that mission to find Sanctuary (that the unseen superiors do believe exist -- the Ankh is the identification to Sanctuary . . .) and to give him credibility they (somehow) advance his Lifeclock so he appears to be on Lastday. (Note that the voice never did answer his question about re-setting his Lifeclock . . . good catch by you, Linda. I wondered about that too. . . .) And, it was an undercover mission; the other Sandmen were unawares. He picked Jessica 6 go with him because she wore an Ankh too and therefore knew of Sanctuary. Regarding their meeting up with Box in the movie: that was not planned by the superiors of the Domed Cities. They knew nothing about what Box was doing to the runners on their way to Sanctuary. ("Prime Directive" was my term, for want of a better one. He said he would freeze/preserve what was sent to him. Then the fish, Plankton, and protein from the Sea stopped coming. Then, later, the runners started coming. So he stored them. Hopefully I answered your questions about the movie as well as you wanted me to. I was glad to. Regarding the book, if you're interested, maybe it's available at your library or if not they could get it through interlibrary loan program. The screenplay deviates radically from the book, but the book is stupendous for being a short little science fiction book: the authors have great imaginations! I don't want to give a lot of the story of the book away, but there isn't the "Domed City" concept as such, or "Outside", and Logan and Jessica travel far and wide. There are more backstories and different things happen. If you like the movie, I think you will like the book. I read the book after I saw the movie and I did. I like both.
@@raybod1775 Hello, Ray. I do see your point. And, while I don't disagree with you, I don't agree with you completely either. I look at the book and the movie as being about as different as Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and "Blade Runner". Both are good. In the book "Logan's Run", I loved the poetry, the songs, the description of the DS Corps, the Pleasure Gypsies . . . and, of course, Ballard. (Ballard's lived a double lifetime, why can't we do the same? / Think of Ballard. . . . Think of Ballard. . . . Think of Ballard's name.) The movie had the great storyline, a great adaptation from the book. "Carousel" was marvellous! So, Ray, I think the movie is great, but the book is good too.
"Jenny Agutter should have been a Bond girl." Yes, and she may have taken her clothes off, too. Unlike all the other Bond girls, who haven't - except in other films. Isn't that the irony of modern Bond films? The girls still keep their clothes on while appearing naked in other film parts! Ian Fleming must be sucking his cigarettes in rage!
@@sjdrifter72 the shower scene in AAWIL,the American actor,David Naughton, playing her love interest referred to it as the highlight of his acting career.
@gunther giesl Try "The Eagle Has Landed" and "An American Werewolf in London". She plays a teen in "Walkabout" but was 20 when she filmed it so it's okay to ogle her.
@@michaelmcguire7687 Disregard my last....going to hell. edited to add: IMDb says she was 16 during filming...going to hell even faster. I looked it up cause I was really hoping you were wrong.
One of my fav Sci-Fi movies, yes as the commentators say Agutter is "smokin' hot" well maybe "melt to the center of the Earth" hot. Love the high-concept Sci-Fi story & fantastic visuals which won a special Academy Award. Often overlooked, the TV series does have a good cast & some great stories. By the end I was sad they didn't make more episodes.
I saw this in the theater as a kid and to this day, Jessica is the most alluring female character in any movie I have ever seen. And I did not have a Farah poster. Not a single one. Jessica was vulnerable but determined. She was sad, but yearning. She just really struck a vibe with me that has resonated through the years.
Sir Peter played the F out of that role..his scene when they met him in awe was so sweet and adorable. All in all this was cast perfectly..and has held up remarkably well.
SPOILER: I love at the end when Peter comes back to the City and all the young hot girls fawn over him. I'm probably older now than he was when he made the film!
I bought a copy of T.S. Eliot's *Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats* because of how well Peter Ustinov played the old man... lol T. S. Eliot and 1 more Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
"All in all this was cast perfectly..and has held up remarkably well." Bollocks! It's a crap film ruined by corporate paranoia, especially here in the UK. Every time Film 4 shows it they cut out Jenny's toppless scene - the best moment in the film!
Look, if you're not going to show that bit with Jenny Agutter getting her kit off briefly in an ice cave or wherever it was, then I'm pulling my trousers back up and going home!
"Identify ....." There's nothing else like this movie; some other dystopian sci-fi films come close, but Logan's Run has a unique look, mood, and sound. And even though Logan's Run was a big budget spectacle from a major Hollywood studio, today it is often viewed with disdain or mockery ... which is actually understandable if we put ourselves behind the eyes of people who did not grow up in the 70's/80's; this movie has to seem a bit cheesy to younger viewers. And yet at the same time, it is held with such deep esteem and affection by many fans-- even some fans who aren't from the generation that discovered LR during its youth. Interesting to recall that critic Roger Ebert enjoyed this film, and called it "a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously".
The Truth Channel, I saw the movie several times at the theatre (that’s what we did back then as kids, saw movies over and over again because it would be years before it would come out on network tv). I still think this movie and The Warriors are the epitome of cheesy, wonderful ‘70s movies.
I love Logan’s Run, it’s a good sci-fi movie, made before Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica. A lot of 1970’s Dystopian movies were done well at the time like Omega Man, Soilent Green, Silent Running and Omega Man. I’ve heard for a long time they were going to remake this movie but I’m glad they haven’t, Hollywood would screw it up.
Cristinita Corazon it’s a movie that came out in 1971 starring Bruce Dern. It’s about the end of botanical life on Earth and Bruce plays a botanist that maintains a green house in space in order to preserve various plants for future generations with help from robots. It’s really good, you should check it out.
It was a great era for sci-fi and particularly dystopian flicks, as you well pointed out, even if the cast is mostly now dead or decrepit and the production values are well "dated".
I will never forget watching Logan's Run in the cinema, I was about 12 and suddenly I could no longer pretend that women were yuck! Jenny Aguter you will always be the one that got away!
PatrolOfficer161 Hey, me too! My family and I were visiting my aunt and uncle and we went to the water gardens without knowing they were shooting a movie. Then it turned out to be Logan’s Run, which was pretty cool because my name is Logan and at that time I had never heard of another Logan. But from then on whenever I would meet someone they would say, “oh, like Logan’s Run, huh?” Lol... Glad to hear about someone else who was there that day. How did you happen to be there?
One of my kidhood memories. I've seen it in a drive-in theater and later in a "sit-in" theater. The dome city looked cool, as well as the cars that drive through the tubes. I even remember seeing frozen naked bodies (in a PG-rated movie!), as well as Box turning out to be a bad robot. I recently saw it on Blu-ray a couple of times. It was one of the first sci-fi movies I enjoyed outside of the original "Star Trek" series, some years before I was a teenager... and before "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Star Wars"!
It always shocks me that people believe that Logan became a runner because his palm blinked red. It's made very clear in the movie that the supercomputer needed him to infiltrate sanctuary and he needed to be believed so the computer turned on his palm light so the runners would accept him as a runner. That's why Logan goes to the computer at the end to tell it that Sanctuary doesn't exist
That part is unique to the movie. Because they needed to "wrap it up" in a nice bow. In the book there WAS a sanctuary. He never goes back. Also the "gun" was vastly simplified for the movie since they wanted more action/pew-pew. The book it was a revolver with different effects/projectiles for each cylinder. In particular one round is a "homing missile." One is a net, ect... When Logan ran he had the rounds in his gun and that was it.
well he wasnt sure whether the life clock would be reset to the correct time after, so he was uneased about the infiltration and he decides to run for real halfway through. He only went back to the computer for interrogation after being captured
@@thehylian6984 yes..he had 4 years left when his life clock was set at 30..to him it was upsetting..the computer never answer him when he asked if will get his 4 years back..yeah I seen in some places on internet that says Logan ran because he time was up..in actuality he was not 30 but 26..still I loved this movie when 1st came out when I was a kid..back then this type of movie was hi-tech!😎
I read the novel about 10 years ago, and it is very different from the film. There was a fear in the 60's of a youth revolt, and the novel played out that scenario. The film, on the other hand, never bothered explaining why people were killed at age 30, other than the computer said so. I'd like to see a more faithful film, but can't help but think instead of tackling the themes from the 60's original it would be modernized and turned into a commentary on social justice and diversity.
Thanks for posting this. My father took me to see this in the theater in 1976 I was blown away by it, it was shown with Chariots of the Gods and a French animation called Fantastic Planet. We spent half the day at the theater taking breaks.
One of my favorite sci-fi movies! I must have watched this movie 30 times in my life. Just a unique story, interesting characters, and great 70s view of the future.
I saw the movie when I was 10 so I was concentrating so much on Jenny Agutters hemline to even know what the movie was about. I actually had to see it again.
"I saw the movie when I was 10 so I was concentrating so much on Jenny Agutters hemline to even know what the movie was about." It's not about anything but JA's hemline, especially when she doesn't even have one!
Thank you for covering this movie. I watched this several times when I was a kid in the 80’s along with other classics. I discovered the tv series in the 90’s when Sci fi channel launched.
Apparently they didn't want to restrict the cast to teenage actors and set the age at 31 in the film. But even so, they could have made something closer to the novel. I was disappointed with the film.
@@theo9952 It would have been too expensive. Sure you could do it *now,* devilsticks and all. And maybe they should. Make it now I mean. There are a lot of action scenes audiences would love which never made it into the 76 movie. I think they need Ballard back, too. The "double lifetime" guy who hunts tigers with a bow and arrow is much cooler than the Old Man with dozens of cats.
I think it's China 9, Liberty 37 that Jenny spends a lot of time naked. Kind of a must see for someone with an Agutter crush. Kind of an English Bo Derek. The late 70's/early 80's/early days of cable TV.
@@craigdavidson2278 It's actually one title. There are some funny lines in it. American Werewolf in London, Equus and Logan's Run are more entertaining IMO. It was fun spotting Jenny in the Avengers and Winter Soldier in recent years. I just wish she was highlighted more in terms of her screen time and in the credits.
I always thought that the model city looked like a model anyway . Blade Runner did a far more effective job. However many of the films sets were reused in two late 1970s TV series, Battlestar Galactic and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. The ruined city is very prominently featured in the Buck Rogers movie that ended up becoming the pilot for the TV series.
For those of you who have not read the book: 1) The "Old man" had a name. He was 42, not 100 and quite a warrior and a hunter. He nearly killed Logan when they finally met. 2) The women did wear undergarments but they were transparent. 3) The Weapon of the Sandman was a six shooter, but each one of the six cartridges had a different effect. 4) The drug "Muscle" was a super-stimulent that gave the cubs super-speed. Older people could not use it because it would cause their heart to burst under the added strain.
I was 13 when Logan’s Run hit the cinema. I saw it three times...once first run and two more times a couple of months later at the dollar movie (it was actually $0.50-it was 1976 after I all. Most of my buddies had the Farrah Fawcett pinup on their bedroom wall. I had Jenny Agutter from the scene where she put herself on the Circuit and that’s where Logan met her. The still was artfully cropped to exclude Michael York. She had essentially a poncho held loosely by two metallic cords on each side. Oh, she also had gone commando...no undergarments; that poncho was one mild gust of wind away from an R rating, at a minimum. Jenny over Farrah any day in my book. I also read the novel Logan’s Run that same summer. If they ever get serious about the remake, I hope they follow the novel faithfully. With a little creative screen play writing and a good director minding the camera angles, it’s possible to be faithful to the novel and avoid the NC-17 rating. If one has not read the novel, understand that there are parts that are descriptively pornographic, even by today’s standards. 😆
Thanks for this Jonathan..I'm in my late 40's(dont tell the Sandman)and loved Logun's since the 70's.But you told me a bunch of facts that I never knew about..Hasslehoff was going to be in it?.,The Backround City was used in Star Trek and Mork & Mindy?!.Thank you!
I remember this movie when I went to see it with my best friend in 1976. We were 16 at the time and we were both awestruck by Jenny Agutter. The movie was good and really kept you on the edge of your seat when Logan and Jenny were on the run. A year later, the production of this film was blown away by Star Wars. Standards changed quickly back in the day!
One of my many “Growing Up” movie. Love the male top attire, wore a similar design and color in campus later, cool. This movie also described to me for the first time what beauty is in a woman and sort of generalized the picture of perfect women, Jenny and Farrah. Of course the earlier perspective of everything changed, evolved and mature later as I grew, but it was the first catalyst.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Outstanding job! This is one of my all time favorite movies. I am still looking forward for a remake just so todays youth can enjoy this story. I do own Free Enterprise and it is also a good movie that captures a moment of an actors perspective.
One of my all time favorite sci-fi movies and still holds up well to this day. Showed it to my teenage son about 6 months ago and he loved it too. I was a big fan of the TV series as well.
Thank you for the in-depth, informative, and entertaining episode about Logan's Run. It made an impression on me as a young man and further enhanced my love for the sci-fi genre. I was looking at some other clips after viewing your episode - it was funny to see the production crew clearly reflected on Box's mirrored panels in some of the scenes!
Wow. This channel along with Good Bad Flicks I think go hand in hand. They give so much backstory info on some of the most well known movies (and some that aren't well known) that more than once I've been left with a genuine new found appreciation on these movies.
The building where very first scene in this video (and many others) was shot is still standing next to Stemmons Freeway. Unfortunately, the main retailer where the scenes were shot closed a few years ago. If you still want to see where it took place, it's in the west atrium where Apparel Mart used to be. Other scenes were shot at the Hall of Nations. The address is 2050 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas. The scene where they stood at steps of a small water fall is at the corner of Houston and West Lancaster in Fort Worth.
Thanks for the video, Jonathan. I was fortunate enough to see the movie in the theatres when it was first released. I was 12 years old and never forgot it, especially Farrah's scene where she gets killed.
Producer: "The studio called, they're over budget, again." Banker: "How much is this thing costing NOW?" Producer: "Going on...$9 Million Dollars" Banker: "Damn Hollywood, what do they think, we're made of money?"
Fawcetts aunt used to live in my home town and would take pics of her and Lee Majors. They would develop them at a local grocery store and I guess people would make copies or the lady gave them away. I remember seeing Majors drinking a quart of Miller High Life and he looked like he was on his third one.
As this video started, I had this funny feeling I had reached orbit altitude and it's time to deploy my solar panels. Ahh yes, music by Kevin MacLeod. That makes sense. Well done Video!
I saw this movie on TV in the late 70s. I was like 8 years old and it blew my absolute mind. I'm now 52 and it's still one of my most favorite movies ever. I wear ankhs constantly, and now you know why. 🤗
Thank you for the video. I grew up in D.C. in the 80-90s. I still remember being sick as a kid and my mom turning on the Late Late Movie, which happened to be a TV cut of Logan’s Run. We were both fascinated, looking at our nearby landmarks in ruin. Sadly, we didn’t see if from the beginning and I only recently found it a few years ago. I love the concepts in the movie. I also love that their city looks just like Crystal City, VA, with its underground shops, tunnels to surrounding buildings and metro.
Always loved this movie and I own the Blu ray release. Groundbreaking SFX at the time and terrific cast using the much under rated Richard Jordan sadly no longer with us. But Jenny Agutter was simply stunning in this film and has remained a fantasy since my childhood. she was gorgeous in the role!
Disclaimer: I enjoyed the "Logan's Run" movie greatly, but... I've read the novel. Everything you need to know about "Logan's Run" that the movie doesn't tell you: - Logan's post-apocalypse world resulted from a civil war inside of America, between the young people and the old. The older folks used the nukes on the cities, and the young people built the domed cities in order to survive in the post-nuclear apocalypse wasteland. This civil war is referred to as the "Little War". - The above is why no one in the domed cities is permitted to live beyond 30; Not only is it a matter of limited supplies, it's also a matter of social cleansing, as they consider anything over 30 as being OLD. - Carousel is a cult religion invented by the councils that run the domed cities, in order to get those who turn thirty to willingly die, believing that they will be "renewed". Renewal is true, in a warped sense, as each person is cloned, again and again. There is no natural reproduction inside the domed cities. - The councils of the domed cities are people who were young when the Little War happened - they are in stasis tanks that preserve their bodies, allowing their minds to remain active, linked to the central computers of the cities they oversee. - The people of the domed cities live only for pleasure - they have jobs, so to speak, but drug houses, brothels, public orgies, and more, are quite common in the domed cities. Logan meets Jessica in one such brothel. - The Sandmen are the council's enforcers; Their job is to terminate anyone who attempts to escape Carousel and become a Runner. Needless to say, the citizens of the domed cities fear the Sandmen, as they are the only ones with weapons, and their weapons do horrific things to people. They are stormtroopers in every sense of the word. - The Council of Logan's domed city did, indeed send him on a secret mission, posing as a Runner, to find and destroy Sanctuary. In the movie, there is no Sanctuary. In the novel, Sanctuary is quite real; Sanctuary is the colony on Mars, and it requires a trek across the wasteland of America to reach Cape Canaveral, in order to take a shuttle up to the orbital station, then take an interplanetary shuttle to Mars. Why is Cape Canaveral still in one piece? They never explained that. - Vox was merely one of the menaces that Logan & Jessica meet along their trek to Canaveral. They are pursued by Francis, Logan's friend and fellow Sandman - that much is accurate - and it freaks Francis out badly when they get outside the confines of the domed city, as their life clocks wink out, and Francis can't understand why. There are raiders and slavers out in the Wasteland, and one tribe that Logan & Jessica run afoul of literally want a pound of flesh - taken from Logan's thigh - in order that Logan & Jessica be allowed to pass. - Logan & Jessica do make it to Canaveral, in the end, and escape to Sanctuary, much to their amazement.
Great. It'll turn into reality when the war between millenials and boomers gets escalated. Also Canaveral survived because the boomers were going to nuke it, but they needed an out, and Mars was it.
I saw Logan's Run in theater. At the time it was mind blowing and was very much an adult film even though there was no nudity. As side note, this story was written in the days when everyone was talking about the expected world-wide population explosion. Much Thanks!
@@bruceblackerby3742 I met Michael York. He bought me a coffee in the Dallas location. The Dallas Times Herald (before the morning news bought bought it out) ran an article about the filming and said they were looking for extras. I was a member of Third Coast Stunt teams so I applied and got hired.
Did the props department keep the skull masks and flame leotards? Did anyone end up with them? I'm guessing it's as cool as having a DEVO suit in terms of great all time costumes. You were so lucky.
This was an awesome video! i rad the book several times. Watch the movie every time it's on and i even watched the series. never even knew there were sequels
Great Johnathon! Loved your research! Logan's Run is part of my teen years. I had read the book and had seen the movie at the local theatre. Stylish for sure.
That's awesome I didn't know it was the same person. That is just incredible. So she was Authors Keeper in the remake? She put on the Darth Vader masque. And she was the Assassin in red. She is off the hook incredible.
OMG, I feel old. I remember seeing Logan's Run in the theater when I was a kid. It really was a great movie. My friends and I would run around a play Logan's Run in the Galleria mall in Houston. Great times!

My favorite Logan’s run quote is from Phil Hartman's character on News Radio. He said “I’m so old if I was in Logan’s Run I would be Soylent Green!“
I remember Hartman's character telling another that he had once tried to impress a woman by telling her his favorite movie was Ingmar Bergman's Persona. When asked what his actual favorite was, he answered Logan's Run. I think it was supposed to sound low brow.

Jenny Agutter should have been a Bond girl. Someone at the Bond camp was asleep at the wheel. How did she go unnoticed.
"Jenny Agutter should have been a Bond girl."
Yes, and she may have taken her clothes off, too. Unlike all the other Bond girls, who haven't - except in other films. Isn't that the irony of modern Bond films? The girls still keep their clothes on while appearing naked in other film parts! Ian Fleming must be sucking his cigarettes in rage!
@@sjdrifter72 the shower scene in AAWIL,the American actor,David Naughton, playing her love interest referred to it as the highlight of his acting career.
I think this was the first time I saw a naked girl in a movie.. Never forgot
"I Drink Dr. Pepper Don't You Know"
She was also great in American werewolf in London
Ive lost count how many times I have watched this movie, i just love it 💜
Best part of Logan's Run? Two words: Jenny Agutter!
@gunther giesl Try "The Eagle Has Landed" and "An American Werewolf in London". She plays a teen in "Walkabout" but was 20 when she filmed it so it's okay to ogle her.
Farah was nothing to sneeze at either.
@@lib556 actually she was 17..it was filmed in 1969
@@michaelmcguire7687 Disregard my last....going to hell.
edited to add: IMDb says she was 16 during filming...going to hell even faster. I looked it up cause I was really hoping you were wrong.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Jenny Agutter.
Thanks for doing these. Logan's Run is one of my favorite all time movies.
I had no idea this movie was so technically difficult to make. Now I love it even more. Thanks!!
Great movie, lots of childhood memories. THERE IS NO SANCTUARY is probably one of the most dramatic scenes ever in a sci-fi flick.
One of my fav Sci-Fi movies, yes as the commentators say Agutter is "smokin' hot" well maybe "melt to the center of the Earth" hot. Love the high-concept Sci-Fi story & fantastic visuals which won a special Academy Award. Often overlooked, the TV series does have a good cast & some great stories. By the end I was sad they didn't make more episodes.
I saw this in the theater as a kid and to this day, Jessica is the most alluring female character in any movie I have ever seen. And I did not have a Farah poster. Not a single one. Jessica was vulnerable but determined. She was sad, but yearning. She just really struck a vibe with me that has resonated through the years.
And she looked so beautiful too
Sir Peter played the F out of that role..his scene when they met him in awe was so sweet and adorable. All in all this was cast perfectly..and has held up remarkably well.
SPOILER:
I love at the end when Peter comes back to the City and all the young hot girls fawn over him. I'm probably older now than he was when he made the film!
I bought a copy of T.S. Eliot's *Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats* because of how well Peter Ustinov played the old man... lol
T. S. Eliot and 1 more
Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
"All in all this was cast perfectly..and has held up remarkably well."
Bollocks! It's a crap film ruined by corporate paranoia, especially here in the UK. Every time Film 4 shows it they cut out Jenny's toppless scene - the best moment in the film!
Sam Samoa - if it’s crap, why do you keep watching it?
Still love this movie...and I saw it first run too!
Look, if you're not going to show that bit with Jenny Agutter getting her kit off briefly in an ice cave or wherever it was, then I'm pulling my trousers back up and going home!
I remember wanting to own this movie and for years went to many video stores to find it and finally did on my 30 th birthday. I was renewed.
I was in two fan clubs. Logan's Run Organization of Fans and United Sandman. I had a Sandman uniform made and wore it to high school occasionally
You sure pick the best ones to do, and do them so well. Thanks man!
"Identify ....."
There's nothing else like this movie; some other dystopian sci-fi films come close, but Logan's Run has a unique look, mood, and sound. And even though Logan's Run was a big budget spectacle from a major Hollywood studio, today it is often viewed with disdain or mockery ... which is actually understandable if we put ourselves behind the eyes of people who did not grow up in the 70's/80's; this movie has to seem a bit cheesy to younger viewers. And yet at the same time, it is held with such deep esteem and affection by many fans-- even some fans who aren't from the generation that discovered LR during its youth. Interesting to recall that critic Roger Ebert enjoyed this film, and called it "a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously".
Very well written & said.
There are elements of it in the movie In time starring Justin Timberface
I wasnt born when it came out but I love the film. 70s film and music was the absolute best.
@@thetruthchannel349 Yes, nothing else like that period. Such a great decade for music and movies.
The Truth Channel, I saw the movie several times at the theatre (that’s what we did back then as kids, saw movies over and over again because it would be years before it would come out on network tv).
I still think this movie and The Warriors are the epitome of cheesy, wonderful ‘70s movies.
I love Logan’s Run, it’s a good sci-fi movie, made before Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica. A lot of 1970’s Dystopian movies were done well at the time like Omega Man, Soilent Green, Silent Running and Omega Man. I’ve heard for a long time they were going to remake this movie but I’m glad they haven’t, Hollywood would screw it up.
I don't know Silent Running. What is it?
Cristinita Corazon it’s a movie that came out in 1971 starring Bruce Dern. It’s about the end of botanical life on Earth and Bruce plays a botanist that maintains a green house in space in order to preserve various plants for future generations with help from robots. It’s really good, you should check it out.
"but I’m glad they haven’t, Hollywood would screw it up."
They couldn't make it any worse.
...3 of my Favorite movies, if you had included Phantom of the Paradise 4/4
It was a great era for sci-fi and particularly dystopian flicks, as you well pointed out, even if the cast is mostly now dead or decrepit and the production values are well "dated".
I will never forget watching Logan's Run in the cinema, I was about 12 and suddenly I could no longer pretend that women were yuck! Jenny Aguter you will always be the one that got away!
So your balls dropped during the movie?
Always loved the miniature city created. Great stuff.
I was at the Fort Worth water garden the day they filmed. It was a big deal then!
PatrolOfficer161 Hey, me too! My family and I were visiting my aunt and uncle and we went to the water gardens without knowing they were shooting a movie. Then it turned out to be Logan’s Run, which was pretty cool because my name is Logan and at that time I had never heard of another Logan.
But from then on whenever I would meet someone they would say, “oh, like Logan’s Run, huh?” Lol...
Glad to hear about someone else who was there that day. How did you happen to be there?
I want to know how they were in the pool and did not get sucked under like everybody else.
So glad they never remade this movie.
MY DAD NAMED ME LOGAN AFTER LOGANS RUN !
Same here mate
thank God, he could have named you Francis
TWO - FIVE you are 2-5.
Not logan.
@@svenfigueroa312 really. Wow. I never noticed. Thanks for pointing that out for me really appreciate it.👍
TWO - FIVE hehe
One of my kidhood memories. I've seen it in a drive-in theater and later in a "sit-in" theater. The dome city looked cool, as well as the cars that drive through the tubes. I even remember seeing frozen naked bodies (in a PG-rated movie!), as well as Box turning out to be a bad robot. I recently saw it on Blu-ray a couple of times. It was one of the first sci-fi movies I enjoyed outside of the original "Star Trek" series, some years before I was a teenager... and before "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Star Wars"!
I talk about Logan's Run a lot! It's nice to know I'm not the only one
It always shocks me that people believe that Logan became a runner because his palm blinked red. It's made very clear in the movie that the supercomputer needed him to infiltrate sanctuary and he needed to be believed so the computer turned on his palm light so the runners would accept him as a runner. That's why Logan goes to the computer at the end to tell it that Sanctuary doesn't exist
That part is unique to the movie. Because they needed to "wrap it up" in a nice bow.
In the book there WAS a sanctuary. He never goes back.
Also the "gun" was vastly simplified for the movie since they wanted more action/pew-pew. The book it was a revolver with different effects/projectiles for each cylinder. In particular one round is a "homing missile." One is a net, ect... When Logan ran he had the rounds in his gun and that was it.
YES!!!! I'm glad someone brought that up.
well he wasnt sure whether the life clock would be reset to the correct time after, so he was uneased about the infiltration and he decides to run for real halfway through. He only went back to the computer for interrogation after being captured
@@thehylian6984 yes..he had 4 years left when his life clock was set at 30..to him it was upsetting..the computer never answer him when he asked if will get his 4 years back..yeah I seen in some places on internet that says Logan ran because he time was up..in actuality he was not 30 but 26..still I loved this movie when 1st came out when I was a kid..back then this type of movie was hi-tech!😎
Loved the Sandman gun design..and Jenny Agutter..
I read the novel about 10 years ago, and it is very different from the film. There was a fear in the 60's of a youth revolt, and the novel played out that scenario. The film, on the other hand, never bothered explaining why people were killed at age 30, other than the computer said so. I'd like to see a more faithful film, but can't help but think instead of tackling the themes from the 60's original it would be modernized and turned into a commentary on social justice and diversity.
Thanks for posting this. My father took me to see this in the theater in 1976 I was blown away by it, it was shown with Chariots of the Gods and a French animation called Fantastic Planet. We spent half the day at the theater taking breaks.
One of my favorite sci-fi movies! I must have watched this movie 30 times in my life. Just a unique story, interesting characters, and great 70s view of the future.
Was 15 when I walked into the theater to watch and was blown away and today own DVD and watch time to time.
I saw the movie when I was 10 so I was concentrating so much on Jenny Agutters hemline to even know what the movie was about.
I actually had to see it again.
"I saw the movie when I was 10 so I was concentrating so much on Jenny Agutters hemline to even know what the movie was about."
It's not about anything but JA's hemline, especially when she doesn't even have one!
@@nossasenhoradoo871 its all about JA, the female outfits were lovely, shame it isnt like that now lol
Thank you for covering this movie. I watched this several times when I was a kid in the 80’s along with other classics. I discovered the tv series in the 90’s when Sci fi channel launched.
21 is the age in the Logans Run novel, as stated in the beginning of the video!
Apparently they didn't want to restrict the cast to teenage actors and set the age at 31 in the film. But even so, they could have made something closer to the novel. I was disappointed with the film.
@@theo9952
It would have been too expensive. Sure you could do it *now,* devilsticks and all. And maybe they should. Make it now I mean. There are a lot of action scenes audiences would love which never made it into the 76 movie. I think they need Ballard back, too. The "double lifetime" guy who hunts tigers with a bow and arrow is much cooler than the Old Man with dozens of cats.
@@SailorBarsoom Indeed so.
Jenny was my teenage fantasy after this and American werewolves in London. ....
Absolutely,
A, An American Werewolf in London - a true classic!, all done "old school" without CGI messing things up.
Excellent movie, glad to have it on DVD.
I think it's China 9, Liberty 37 that Jenny spends a lot of time naked. Kind of a must see for someone with an Agutter crush. Kind of an English Bo Derek. The late 70's/early 80's/early days of cable TV.
@@seaninness334 never heard of those two films....think I might have to do a search.....
@@craigdavidson2278 It's actually one title. There are some funny lines in it. American Werewolf in London, Equus and Logan's Run are more entertaining IMO. It was fun spotting Jenny in the Avengers and Winter Soldier in recent years. I just wish she was highlighted more in terms of her screen time and in the credits.
Long overdue. Thank you!
I always thought that the model city looked like a model anyway . Blade Runner did a far more effective job.
However many of the films sets were reused in two late 1970s TV series, Battlestar Galactic and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. The ruined city is very prominently featured in the Buck Rogers movie that ended up becoming the pilot for the TV series.
The ships from "Silent Running" became the agro-ships in the original Battlestar Galactica.
For those of you who have not read the book:
1) The "Old man" had a name. He was 42, not 100 and quite a warrior and a hunter. He nearly killed Logan when they finally met.
2) The women did wear undergarments but they were transparent.
3) The Weapon of the Sandman was a six shooter, but each one of the six cartridges had a different effect.
4) The drug "Muscle" was a super-stimulent that gave the cubs super-speed. Older people could not use it because it would cause their heart to burst under the added strain.
I was 13 when Logan’s Run hit the cinema. I saw it three times...once first run and two more times a couple of months later at the dollar movie (it was actually $0.50-it was 1976 after I all. Most of my buddies had the Farrah Fawcett pinup on their bedroom wall. I had Jenny Agutter from the scene where she put herself on the Circuit and that’s where Logan met her. The still was artfully cropped to exclude Michael York.
She had essentially a poncho held loosely by two metallic cords on each side. Oh, she also had gone commando...no undergarments; that poncho was one mild gust of wind away from an R rating, at a minimum. Jenny over Farrah any day in my book.
I also read the novel Logan’s Run that same summer. If they ever get serious about the remake, I hope they follow the novel faithfully. With a little creative screen play writing and a good director minding the camera angles, it’s possible to be faithful to the novel and avoid the NC-17 rating. If one has not read the novel, understand that there are parts that are descriptively pornographic, even by today’s standards. 😆
Thanks for this Jonathan..I'm in my late 40's(dont tell the Sandman)and loved Logun's since the 70's.But you told me a bunch of facts that I never knew about..Hasslehoff was going to be in it?.,The Backround City was used in Star Trek and Mork & Mindy?!.Thank you!
I remember this movie when I went to see it with my best friend in 1976. We were 16 at the time and we were both awestruck by Jenny Agutter. The movie was good and really kept you on the edge of your seat when Logan and Jenny were on the run. A year later, the production of this film was blown away by Star Wars. Standards changed quickly back in the day!
One of my many “Growing Up” movie. Love the male top attire, wore a similar design and color in campus later, cool. This movie also described to me for the first time what beauty is in a woman and sort of generalized the picture of perfect women, Jenny and Farrah. Of course the earlier perspective of everything changed, evolved and mature later as I grew, but it was the first catalyst.
Well done! I saw this a few times during the first run, and then many times on VHS, DVD, etc.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Outstanding job! This is one of my all time favorite movies. I am still looking forward for a remake just so todays youth can enjoy this story. I do own Free Enterprise and it is also a good movie that captures a moment of an actors perspective.
That horizontal bar across the pecs of Sandmen even got incorporated into casual wear well into the early 1980s.
My first reaction to seeing this in my feed was OH YEA! You did a great job highlighting my favorite movie.
Great video on one of my favorite movies. So much information I was unaware of. Thank you for making this!!
One of my favorite films, love the music and sound effects.
One of my all time favorite sci-fi movies and still holds up well to this day. Showed it to my teenage son about 6 months ago and he loved it too. I was a big fan of the TV series as well.
The city model was also used in the first season of the 80's Buck Rogers television show...
@Charles Yuditsky yeah, they maybe moved some of the models around, but we KNEW lol
saw it in the theater when i was 16. still one of my favorites!
I remember seeing Logan's Run at the drive in as part of a double feature with Rollerball.
Thank you for the in-depth, informative, and entertaining episode about Logan's Run. It made an impression on me as a young man and further enhanced my love for the sci-fi genre. I was looking at some other clips after viewing your episode - it was funny to see the production crew clearly reflected on Box's mirrored panels in some of the scenes!
I always remembered..."Logan's Run starring Farah Fawcett". She was in it for something like a minute.
An amazing memory from a childhood filled with the best movies. Also Jenny!
Growing up, I had a friend so nerdy, his version of "Cowboys & Indians"/"Cops & Robbers" was "Sandmen & Runners"...
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Just ahead of his time.
:D
And today kids are playing Chinese & Indians ... it's China vs. India in the race to becoming the next economic super power.
Nerdy was if he claimed to shoot a "homer" at you. :)
@@adamgoodword7888 Selling what?
Wow. This channel along with Good Bad Flicks I think go hand in hand. They give so much backstory info on some of the most well known movies (and some that aren't well known) that more than once I've been left with a genuine new found appreciation on these movies.
Jenny Agutter the ultimate posh totty 💕
I love the Augutter in this..........So fine.
liked her in a american werewolf in london
Schwiiiiing!!!!
@dave4248 lol
Sister Julienne ???
The building where very first scene in this video (and many others) was shot is still standing next to Stemmons Freeway. Unfortunately, the main retailer where the scenes were shot closed a few years ago. If you still want to see where it took place, it's in the west atrium where Apparel Mart used to be. Other scenes were shot at the Hall of Nations. The address is 2050 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas.
The scene where they stood at steps of a small water fall is at the corner of Houston and West Lancaster in Fort Worth.
That's random, I certainly didn't expect to see a pre-fame David Hasselhoff modeling costumes from the film for visitors to the set
Thanks for the video, Jonathan. I was fortunate enough to see the movie in the theatres when it was first released. I was 12 years old and never forgot it, especially Farrah's scene where she gets killed.
Producer: "The studio called, they're over budget, again." Banker: "How much is this thing costing NOW?" Producer: "Going on...$9 Million Dollars" Banker: "Damn Hollywood, what do they think, we're made of money?"
oneof my favorite movies!!!saw it on a double feature with rollerball in '76.what a time!!!!
Soylent Green was based on Harry Harrison's novel 'Make Room! Make Room!'
Fawcetts aunt used to live in my home town and would take pics of her and Lee Majors. They would develop them at a local grocery store and I guess people would make copies or the lady gave them away. I remember seeing Majors drinking a quart of Miller High Life and he looked like he was on his third one.
Watched the other day again on Netflix now. Grew up this and was 1 of my first sci-fi s and still a favorite. Hope the series will show up soon!!!
Well done on a fantastically researched & put together video. This is a favourite of mine for years. Keep up the good work
Thanks 😊
Everything you need to know about Logan's run in one word - Jenny.
As this video started, I had this funny feeling I had reached orbit altitude and it's time to deploy my solar panels.
Ahh yes, music by Kevin MacLeod. That makes sense. Well done Video!
i was 12 years old when Logan's Run hit theaters, and it always had me dazzled. I'm surprised I haven't worn out my DVD copy of it yet!
I was 12 too! I gave my DVD to my daughter she loves it too. I have the digital!
@S C LOL! so my son tells me constantly... were that I was 8 years old again!
@S C if you're lucky you'll get there too. Don't be a d bag
I've had to get a few replacements myself. Thank goodness for Vintage Stock.
Gives "enter sandman" a whole new meaning (unless that was the original intent!)...
"Jenny Agutter" End
I saw this movie on TV in the late 70s. I was like 8 years old and it blew my absolute mind. I'm now 52 and it's still one of my most favorite movies ever. I wear ankhs constantly, and now you know why. 🤗
I watched Logan’s Run this very evening on TCM.
Thank you for the video. I grew up in D.C. in the 80-90s. I still remember being sick as a kid and my mom turning on the Late Late Movie, which happened to be a TV cut of Logan’s Run. We were both fascinated, looking at our nearby landmarks in ruin. Sadly, we didn’t see if from the beginning and I only recently found it a few years ago. I love the concepts in the movie. I also love that their city looks just like Crystal City, VA, with its underground shops, tunnels to surrounding buildings and metro.
Always loved this movie and I own the Blu ray release. Groundbreaking SFX at the time and terrific cast using the much under rated Richard Jordan sadly no longer with us. But Jenny Agutter was simply stunning in this film and has remained a fantasy since my childhood. she was gorgeous in the role!
What a well done video sir. 1st time here and I loved your in depth look at a film I loved. Thumbs up :)
Thank you so much 😊
Fun Fact: The masks worn by the people "renewing" were Mylec Tony Esposito street hockey goalie masks.
That was really good and thorough. Thank you for your work!

I came here to say how awesome Jenny Agutter was but it looks like you guys have got it covered.
Disclaimer: I enjoyed the "Logan's Run" movie greatly, but... I've read the novel.
Everything you need to know about "Logan's Run" that the movie doesn't tell you:
- Logan's post-apocalypse world resulted from a civil war inside of America, between the young people and the old. The older folks used the nukes on the cities, and the young people built the domed cities in order to survive in the post-nuclear apocalypse wasteland. This civil war is referred to as the "Little War".
- The above is why no one in the domed cities is permitted to live beyond 30; Not only is it a matter of limited supplies, it's also a matter of social cleansing, as they consider anything over 30 as being OLD.
- Carousel is a cult religion invented by the councils that run the domed cities, in order to get those who turn thirty to willingly die, believing that they will be "renewed". Renewal is true, in a warped sense, as each person is cloned, again and again. There is no natural reproduction inside the domed cities.
- The councils of the domed cities are people who were young when the Little War happened - they are in stasis tanks that preserve their bodies, allowing their minds to remain active, linked to the central computers of the cities they oversee.
- The people of the domed cities live only for pleasure - they have jobs, so to speak, but drug houses, brothels, public orgies, and more, are quite common in the domed cities. Logan meets Jessica in one such brothel.
- The Sandmen are the council's enforcers; Their job is to terminate anyone who attempts to escape Carousel and become a Runner. Needless to say, the citizens of the domed cities fear the Sandmen, as they are the only ones with weapons, and their weapons do horrific things to people. They are stormtroopers in every sense of the word.
- The Council of Logan's domed city did, indeed send him on a secret mission, posing as a Runner, to find and destroy Sanctuary. In the movie, there is no Sanctuary. In the novel, Sanctuary is quite real; Sanctuary is the colony on Mars, and it requires a trek across the wasteland of America to reach Cape Canaveral, in order to take a shuttle up to the orbital station, then take an interplanetary shuttle to Mars. Why is Cape Canaveral still in one piece? They never explained that.
- Vox was merely one of the menaces that Logan & Jessica meet along their trek to Canaveral. They are pursued by Francis, Logan's friend and fellow Sandman - that much is accurate - and it freaks Francis out badly when they get outside the confines of the domed city, as their life clocks wink out, and Francis can't understand why. There are raiders and slavers out in the Wasteland, and one tribe that Logan & Jessica run afoul of literally want a pound of flesh - taken from Logan's thigh - in order that Logan & Jessica be allowed to pass.
- Logan & Jessica do make it to Canaveral, in the end, and escape to Sanctuary, much to their amazement.
"drug houses, brothels, public orgies, and more" sounds like a wonderful book.
Thanks for the book review!
Great. It'll turn into reality when the war between millenials and boomers gets escalated.
Also Canaveral survived because the boomers were going to nuke it, but they needed an out, and Mars was it.
Thank you very much, I found thrilling to know all this as I'm a fan of the movie.
@@warrenny Give "Brave new world" a read!
21. The movie came up with 30.
I saw Logan's Run in theater. At the time it was mind blowing and was very much an adult film even though there was no nudity. As side note, this story was written in the days when everyone was talking about the expected world-wide population explosion. Much Thanks!
Meat..greens...and protein from the sea! 🤖
Worst robot ever but kinda endearing at the same time lol not knocking it though, it's a total classic..
I was in this movie as an extra. On the Carousel and in the crowds. Pulling us down off the tangled wires was really scary.
Pretty cool. Picked yourself out in the scenes?
@@bruceblackerby3742 In the crowd scenes, no. But on the Carousel, I'm the smallest one. When it starts to turn, look for the first smallest person.
@@LadyNirakina That's cool! So how did one get to be an extra on the film? Did you get to meet the leads?
@@bruceblackerby3742 I met Michael York. He bought me a coffee in the Dallas location. The Dallas Times Herald (before the morning news bought bought it out) ran an article about the filming and said they were looking for extras. I was a member of Third Coast Stunt teams so I applied and got hired.
Did the props department keep the skull masks and flame leotards? Did anyone end up with them? I'm guessing it's as cool as having a DEVO suit in terms of great all time costumes. You were so lucky.
Love the film and waych it whenever I find it = Jenny Agutter was a teenage crush as was Farrah!
She was also attractive in An American Werewolf in London
A re-make, a re-make, my kingdom for a re-make!!!😀
This was an awesome video! i rad the book several times. Watch the movie every time it's on and i even watched the series. never even knew there were sequels
Great Johnathon! Loved your research! Logan's Run is part of my teen years.
I had read the book and had seen the movie at the local theatre. Stylish for sure.
The E on the end of Devane is silent, the name is properly pronounced De-vain.
Great video about one of my favorite movies.
Thanks for the rememberence. And yes, Jenny was hot. Actually she still looks great in Winter Soldier (she's the one Widow impersonates at the end)
Also in Call the Midwife.
That's awesome I didn't know it was the same person. That is just incredible. So she was Authors Keeper in the remake? She put on the Darth Vader masque. And she was the Assassin in red. She is off the hook incredible.
OMG, I feel old. I remember seeing Logan's Run in the theater when I was a kid. It really was a great movie. My friends and I would run around a play Logan's Run in the Galleria mall in Houston. Great times!
Jenny Agutter is why I watched Logan's Run multiple times.
Thank you, great job. One of my favourite movie ever, was a strange and futuristic, full of anticipation, design and strange vision of the near future
