Seems cheesy now, but when this came out in the seventies it was unique in it's plot and both eerie and enchanting in it's character. I'm nostalgic for it more than most seventies movies, I think because in spite of it's futuristic theme it captured the feel of the late seventies more than most. Another example of that is the movie Car Wash - you can almost FEEL the era in that film.
I saw it for the first time just last year and kinda fell in love with the aesthetic. I mean, I always liked 70's stuff, but Logan's Run is like a crown jewel of them all. It's still relevant today, in the times of of eternal TikTok youth that tries to discard all elderly wisdom and knowledge to remodel the world anew.
I actually protected Farah Fawcett in 1977 after leaving U.S. Secret Service to get back to San Diego. She was very nice and such a lady. I will never forget her. It was at a Tennis Tournament in Del Mar/Solana Beach and later as well.
I first met her back in the 80's when I did a tour as a door gunner on the space shuttle. She was quite fond of visiting the Mars colony. Only A-List celebrities received invites back in those days. She always tipped the crew very generously.

There’s a Logan’s Run book and the movie kinda follows it. Except in the book, no one lives past 21. And there is no carousel and Logan and Jessica get on a rocket to the moon. 😊😊😊
Of all the crappy movies that get remade, I think Logan's Run would be excellent. A real budget for special effects. No need for a mall with Auntie Anne's pretzel to pass for the future.
Who and who? Wow, I have no idea that the names of those actors ever are. I really don't care what their names are. (Except for about 1: Sean Connery. But he's gone now.)
In the Logan's run book you are terminated at 21. This film was made in 1976 and Michael York was born in 1942, making him 34 when he played the part. Jenny Agutter was 24 and Farrah Fawcett was 29.
Iggy's Friend Made in 1976, but have you read some of the comments about the store Auntie Anne’s being in the escalator scene? That store didn’t exist until 1988.
@@taoist32 Auntie Anne's could be a coincidence of perhaps someone like the name so much they named their store after the film. It doesn't prove time travel as some people are saying.

@@czos9239 Hi CZ, you're correct, the film is 30, I was thinking of the book by William F. Nolan. In the book it's 21. You are correct, in the Hollywood 1976 version with Michael York and Jenny Aguter. I guess Hollywood wanted/needed older actors.
Obviously it was the best the production crew could manage, the real robot would probably have action fast reflexes and speed, and was probably caught of guard cause he gave the game away. Instead of a confused runner being caught of guard by the killbot, this is the one time the killbot had to react to an enforcer, and it just happens to be the best enforcer thats ever been Least that's how I see it
0:40 Auntie Anne's Pretzel company was not started until 1988 according to Wiki. Odd that in this movie Auntie Anne's is still around in 2274 and in this assumed real mall location the movie was filmed in, Auntie Anne's appears to be operating 12 years before that company even started.
I was born around the time this movie came out in the mid 70s. I have no more memory of this then I do of Star Wars or Jaws, but I sure feel old watching this.
The only reason I care about Logan's run is Jenny Agutter. She made a deep impression on my young pubescent mind that has lasted decades. (and that nude girl in Life Force)
It helped that Michael York ordered her like a cheeseburger at a drive-thru, an adolescent fantasy par-sexcelence. I was 11 when this movie came out and she primed the pump for me, too. Her sexuality in Logan's Run was strong enough that she upstaged Farrah Fawcett's allure, and as I'm sure you remember FF was super-hot stuff at the time.
The most impressive special effect in this movie is Jenny Agutter's mini dress that seems to get shorter and shorter as the film progresses. CGI animation could never accomplish what her amazing legs do in that dress!
This is a bit like my mental edit of the Lord of the Rings series. "See those owls we flew back from after throwing the ring into that big red pit thingy, let's just fly straight there after the party at Bell-End, job done". Of course, Bilbo's party would not be valid currently under covid regultions, and I'd expect Bilbo to be getting a stern talking to by some tiny doorstepping Sky TV/BBC wraiths.

Did anyone notice that they inserted a clip of Auntie Anne’s pretzel 🥨 shop into the video?? I rewinded it several times and it’s a modern clip of a shopping mall.
Logan's Run is not a dumb movie. It has ideas lots of them and it really hates the boomers free love attitude of the 70s. But its very dated looking and quite a few moments are silly. Even by the standards of the time.
i read this book before I saw the movie because I used to order a lot of books from Scholastic in elementary school. the movie seemed cheesy to me even back when I first saw it.
Basil and Austin Powers swapped places. Farrah Fawcett-Majors looked good at the time. She played a real-life "pond scum woman" in the 1989 TV movie Small Sacrifices.
To be fair, the Baby Boomers were so aggressive towards older people I do imagine that some older people would fear that the Baby Boomers would systematically blow them up, but they gave them a fate worse than death, they placed their parents in retirement homes.
A cautionary tale of the inevitable fate of the American mall
or of losing the wisdom of old people, as the world's population beomes more and more young folk, and the old put in homes, and later, disregarded as the only ones really vulnerable to pandemics.
And also of the danger of hedonistic lifestyle.

Love this movie, I was 9 when me and my friend went see it at Westwood theatre in 76. Oh the world was great back then in Mesa Az
I was 12 in 1976. Loved this movie then and love it now. And yes I miss those days too
Wow, you're so old. What happened to the carousel?
Lol, like I said the world was way better back then, ppl too. Not so uptight.

@DW11111nah, if an indie studio with a good budget does it, it could be great!
Great visual effects, the 1970s were innovative.
Auntie Anne’s
Why was that in there? I’m so confused
I assume because that's in every Mall in the 1970s. They shot all the city scenes inside a Dallas mall. Maybe auntie Anne paid for the advertisement.
That's hilarious. Well at least we'll enjoy some pretzels in this dystopian future.
This movie was made in 1976, but the Auntie Annie's pretzel company didn't start till 1988, so that bit could not really have been in the movie
@@EquusIV If you pause it, you'll see everyone is wearing modern clothes. It wasn't in the movie. They just inserted it.
At least they had an Auntie Anne’s.
As a kid I remember being excited because I read Farrah Fawcett was in it, and then falling hard for Jenny Agutter when I saw it.

Wow, I have no idea that the names of those actors ever are. I really don't care what their names are. (Except for about 1: Sean Connery. But he's gone now.)
And I remember seeing people with the Farrah Fawcett beach towels from this movie...
Farrah's beauty wasn't all plasticized, polymer filled, tattooed or manually applied. So, of course this generation wouldn't know who she was.
As a very young kid born mid 70s this like one of my favorites.

Coincidence? I think NOT.
Klaus wants to be the evil robot
Box was played by Roscoe Lee Browne
I don't know how this stiff Box managed to kill and freeze all the runners before.

Instead of a confused runner being caught of guard by the killbot, this is the one time the killbot had to react to an enforcer, and it just happens to be the best enforcer thats ever been
Least that's how I see it
None of the previous runners had guns
Maybe it came from the same production line as the Daleks...
I think he had help from the Sleestaks.
See: The Island (2005)
"Let's have sex"
The best line in the movie in my view. More associated these days with Quagmire from Family Guy.
Tinder in the 22nd century.
The only part that made me genuinely laugh
well she was on the circuit
Typical 70s lol
Another allegory of the cave type movie.
I always knew Otto Warmbier looked familiar. He looked just like Michael Anderson Jr. there, who was the plastic surgeon.
