    That wasn’t an attempt at sexiness, that was an attempt at making a movie while doing all the drugs.

        Hey, I love Zardoz. I have an original Zardoz poster what was (until I recently swapped it for a The Human Duplicators poster) on my wall in a frame.

        But seriously, it was a drug-fueled mess. John Boorman admitted as much:

        Um, it was The '70s, and I was doing a lot of drugs. Frankly, even I’m not entirely sure what parts of the movie are about.

        The insanity of Zardoz is exactly why I love it. Does it make sense? Not much. But I love a lot of movies that don’t make much sense.

          Lol it’s not my style at all (I’m more a Barbarella cheese fan), but I do appreciate the spectacle it achieved, even if it looks outrageously silly today. It’s definitely a product of its time. Seriously though, you could take the movie and all it’s wild production stories, claim it was made in the 80s, and everybody would believe you. I’m not unconvinced Boorman wasn’t a time traveler
