    It's been several years since I've seen ZARDOZ @Revelator and @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. While not a *great* film (per say), it is visually striking. And that is what made such an impression on me.

    As for Connery's wardrobe; to quote my late mother: "Dear Lord .......!" :))

    It amuses me that everyone talks about the red nappy, but no one ever mentions this:

    Miles o Keeffe stellar acting probably distracts from Sir Sean's Green Knight costume ;))

    Could've been worse. Imagine Sean painted green.

    I actually have ZARDOZ on DVR. Seems like the perfect time to finally give it a watch.

    Please do. It's a crazy film, but somehow guarantees compelling viewing from start to finish.

    Just watched Untouchables for millionth time. Brilliant film. Connery steals it. Just seeing him in brief scene with De Niro is pure gold. What charisma he had.

    I used to have Zardoz on VHS and an acquaintance borrowed it and loved it. That's long gone, but I'd love to own it again, but the DVD/Blu-ray copies go for extravagant prices. Always been more intrigued by Zardoz than a lot of the other things he'd done during that time.

    Zardoz is a cult movie. It needs a TV series like Westworld.
