Trivia:
The scene where Zed (Sean Connery) and Consuella (Charlotte Rampling) turn into skeletons had to be shot three times. The first time, the film was damaged, and the second time, a studio helper accidentally exposed the negatives. Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling were extremely annoyed, because of the time they had to spend having make-up done.

Saw this when it first came out.. simply loved Sean Connery in heels, the the Egypt-Brit village, the fem-men, butchy yet gorgeous women...a flying, gun spewing head....weird beyond belief....and yet universally panned by all as a lousy film. How wrong they were!
This film was the father of Memento, and sister of Vanilla Sky, cousin to Lathe of Heaven [1980]
No matter who laughed at me I continued to love this film, and when I finally bought a video play it was the first film I ever purchased.
as a note, the end music on Zardoz is also the same track as in Waterland with Eric Stoltz.
