I had already seen Michael York as D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers (1973) and I was immediately hooked on him as an actor. When Logan's Run came out in 1976 I was 10 years old and absolutely obsessed with this movie. Between Michael York and Farrah Faucett, who was a #1 poster model among other things during that era, and the cool '70s era (pre Star Wars) sci-fi world-building, and even the television show that was derived from the movie offered a lot to a young sci-fi fan.

"For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky" comes closest for me.

Logan’s Run! I’m glad you are covering this.

27:47 they mostly come at night, mostly. 😂

Thanks for doing this sadly underappreciated movie. 1. In the book the death clock goes at 21, but they couldn't find enough actors. 2. "Genesis II" has awesome miniature effects.

I feel like ur the only KZreadr that gives us both parts in under 10 minutes🌟 Only luv here💟💟

In the original edit, after the viewer sees the city interior, the POV changes to a man in red as he nervously exits a mazecar, takes an elevator down, and walks through a crowded plaza in the city. He is confronted by Francis, who calls him a Runner, and quickly shoots and kills him. A crowd of onlookers applauds Francis as he approaches the body. Francis turns the hand of the man to the camera and we see the crystal in the man's hand is black. The camera pushes into the black crystal, and the scene then dissolves to the white crystal in the palm of the baby. This cut was among 20 minutes of footage removed from the film to remove violence, nudity and depictions of drug use to secure a PG rating instead of an R rating. RE the people cheering, originally the people on Carrousel are trying to fly to the top and touch the white crystal (an analog to catching the ring on a pony carousel, I suppose) in order to earn Renewal, but the Carrousel scene was also shortened quite a lot and that part of the explanation was lost.

Oh wow. I really hate that these scenes were cut. That first one sounds like a really great transition from death to life. Thanks for letting me know about this!

Part 1 had to be a little more chopped up than usual, due to the copyright bots. 😊 Part 2: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4CDlsxylbTJj9o.html

After seeing this as a kid I immediately went and made a tree branch into a Sandman gun, painted black and all. Oh, and developed a lifelong crush on Jenny Agutter ;)...

When this was new that computer voice and debriefing chamber scared the crap out of me. It felt... too plausible. For some reason I was able to let myself live within the story more than a lot of films. Not as Logan, but as some sort of invisible witness to his experiences.

The computer room is my fav part - I love that calm voice and the machine intelligence ambience

Omg the main woman character in this movie really affected me as a late teen when I first saw this far more than Farrah did I must say lol

Jenny Agutter. She is still acting. She has been playing Sister Julienne since 2012 in the BBC series Call The Midwife.

Sandman toys with runners

Nice vid. Luv this movie, there was a tv series after. Also there is 2 books i know off. And sorry if i thought you were a woman cause of the hair, until i heard your voice

The population's acceptance of the lie that they will be re-born is the writers not so subtle jab at Religion generally, and Christianity specifically 😊
