    This is the 3rd time I've seen Zardoz, and this is the first time that I was able to follow the plot. It's stupid and it doesn't really make sense in any conventional sort of way, True I was intoxicated in every viewing (how else could you sit through this movie). But I'm rather proud that I could decode all of the psycho babel of dialog into a "plot".

     

    The ending, I think is the fucking craziest, because they just flash forward until they're skeletons (with hair) standing up? Why not just say "We lived happily ever after" or something?

     

    Also, if you wanted to buy the Exterminator mask you can find it here for the low low low low price of $250.00 ! http://www.hauntedst...prod=ZMG&cat=15

     

     

    apparently the first AC on the film accidently destroyed the film 3 times during that scene where sean connery is in the wedding dress. He hated that scene and chased the cameraman out of town after having to refilm it so many times

    If you buy Zardoz off iTunes (never bought a movie there before) does it come with the director's commentary?

     

    Here's something a little wacky: Zardoz miniatures. These are unlicensed and done as a joke, basically. Unfortunately, the Sean Connery/Zed figure is sold out.

    (the first 2 shown are non-Zardoz, just scroll down)

     

     

    Here is a link to the directors commentary track. Enjoy! http://www.eggcityradio.com/sharity/dvd_zardoz.mp3

    People often cite Sean Connery quitting acting as a sign how bad Extrodinary Gentlemen was so bad. If badness of movies was a readon for quitting, ZARD OZ was a far more compelling argument for his retirement

     

    He says on the commentary that sean connery did zardoz because he couldn't find work after playing bond. He agreed to do this film for basically no pay just to be out there acting again.

    Holy crap, has anyone here ever listened to the directors commentary from "zardoz" if not YOU NEED TO DO THIS IMMEDIATELY. He tried to explain the movie, but at the same time tells amazing stories about how sean connery accidently shot him in the head with a blank when a bullet exploded and when sean connery chased the camera man out of town because he kept destroying the film by accident. Anyways, this is a must see if you've already seen zardoz and want to be even more confused about it or just want to know WTF john boorman was thinking as he made this movie.
