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.

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!“

Best part of Logan's Run? Two words: Jenny Agutter!

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.

LOVE this movie. And Jenny Agutter was one of my first childhood crushes.

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.

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

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!

This is one of the great Sci-Fi films I grew up with.

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.

"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".

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!

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.

Jenny Agutter should have been a Bond girl. Someone at the Bond camp was asleep at the wheel. How did she go unnoticed.

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!

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.

Great movie, lots of childhood memories. THERE IS NO SANCTUARY is probably one of the most dramatic scenes ever in a sci-fi flick.

So glad they never remade this movie.

I've always been a big fan of Logan's Run. Thanks Jonny!

MY DAD NAMED ME LOGAN AFTER LOGANS RUN !

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. 😆

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.

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?"

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 had no idea this movie was so technically difficult to make. Now I love it even more. Thanks!!

I talk about Logan's Run a lot! It's nice to know I'm not the only one

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.

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.

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

Jenny was my teenage fantasy after this and American werewolves in London. ....

I always remembered..."Logan's Run starring Farah Fawcett". She was in it for something like a minute.

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.

Thanks for doing these. Logan's Run is one of my favorite all time movies.

Everything you need to know about Logan's run in one word - Jenny.

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

Jenny Agutter the ultimate posh totty 💕

You sure pick the best ones to do, and do them so well. Thanks man!

Growing up, I had a friend so nerdy, his version of "Cowboys & Indians"/"Cops & Robbers" was "Sandmen & Runners"...

I was at the Fort Worth water garden the day they filmed. It was a big deal then!

My first reaction to seeing this in my feed was OH YEA! You did a great job highlighting my favorite movie.

Loved the Sandman gun design..and Jenny Agutter..

Was 15 when I walked into the theater to watch and was blown away and today own DVD and watch time to time.

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 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.

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.

Always loved the miniature city created. Great stuff.

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.

The old man had a name, but he had been alone so long he'd forgotten it.

"Jenny Agutter" End

Great video on one of my favorite movies. So much information I was unaware of. Thank you for making this!!

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!

21 is the age in the Logans Run novel, as stated in the beginning of the video!

Meat..greens...and protein from the sea! 🤖

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.

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 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 remember seeing Logan's Run at the drive in as part of a double feature with Rollerball.

saw it in the theater when i was 16. still one of my favorites!

Well done on a fantastically researched & put together video. This is a favourite of mine for years. Keep up the good work

Long overdue. Thank you!

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.

Been waiting for you to do LR . One of my all time favorites and your videos are always informative

That horizontal bar across the pecs of Sandmen even got incorporated into casual wear well into the early 1980s.

Soylent Green was based on Harry Harrison's novel 'Make Room! Make Room!'

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

What a well done video sir. 1st time here and I loved your in depth look at a film I loved. Thumbs up :)

Well done! I saw this a few times during the first run, and then many times on VHS, DVD, etc.

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)

I watched Logan’s Run this very evening on TCM.

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!

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.

The city model was also used in the first season of the 80's Buck Rogers television show...

Ah, yes....Seeing this in the late 70's was the source of my life-long crush on Jenny Agutter

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.

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. 🤗

31 years is the death point,,the entire cast is obviously over 21..

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.

One of my favourite movies, great video!

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.

Fun Fact: The masks worn by the people "renewing" were Mylec Tony Esposito street hockey goalie masks.

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!!!

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.

This is the first vid I seen of your channel. If other vids are of this quality and topic, I’ll sub

One of my favorite films, love the music and sound effects.

The narrator sounds like he's been having a very happy Happy Hour.

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.

One thing I like about this movie was how it predicted Tinder.

It's funny how the future in Logans Run looks suspiciously like a shopping mall.

Oh Jenny❤😍 Oh Farrah❤😍

oneof my favorite movies!!!saw it on a double feature with rollerball in '76.what a time!!!!

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.

Love this film. The books are a typical 60s scifi fest. The graphic novels are good too. And I love Jenny. Run, runner, run

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!

Great vlog - thank you!

Wow! So many cool details I didn't know about. I love this movie too. Thanks.

I remember seeing this a long time ago and what stuck with me was the female lead's fantastic legs.

Still a masterpiece.

That was really good and thorough. Thank you for your work!

Thank you for this wonderful video! I have always liked the movie Logan’s Run.
