From IMDB:
In the distant future Earth is divided into two camps, the barely civilized group and the overly civilized one with mental powers. A plague is attacking the second group after which it's members cease to have any interest in life and become nearly catatonic. When Sean Connery one of the barbarians, crosses over, the tenuous balance in their world is threatened.
Brutals are told that when they die they will go to the vortex, where the Eternals live immortally. Zed, an Exterminator-class brutal who worships the stone head Zardoz, comes upon an old library where a mysterious stranger teaches him how to read. When he finds a copy of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, he sets out to learn the secret of the god he worships, and disrupts life in the vortex.
C'mon - how could this possibly be
bad?

Did you click on the link, man?
Did you click on the link, man?
Yeah, but I got light-headed for a bit and forgot what the link was.
All that is bad in this world may very well spring from that crotch.
Staggeringly bad dialogue and endless acid-trip visuals that evoke more of the pukey feeling than the 'preeehty colors' aspect of tripping.
Coherent story? Nah.
In the future, men will wear diapers with suspenders.
For some reason, all the women will be gay.
I can't believe Beej and I are the only ones who've seen Zardoz. It's a classic! If I were writing a book about great bad movies, "From The Apple to Zardoz" would be its tagline!
The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!
In the future, men will wear diapers with suspenders.
Not just diapers, but ORANGE diapers. And, frighteningly, that outfit is the best thing about the movie.

Shhh. The Religious Right might hear you and start using pictures from that movie in conversion therapy.
I've seen it, Jessica. Many years ago, and I was . . . . influenced . . . . but I saw it.
