Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The "Love Shop" sequence originally ran much longer, but had to be cut down under pressure from the MGM censors. Other cut scenes include Box making a nude ice sculpture of Logan and Jessica, and several characters visiting the "Hallucimill" shop in Arcade (the latter was cut for its depiction of drug use). All of the additional footage and its background music score were subsequently lost in what is now known as "the great MGM purge", when studio owner Kirk Kerkorian sold off what he could of the studio's extensive archives and simply threw out the rest. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When the dome city is destroyed and the Old Man sees the people emerging, he is standing by a small campfire. When the people surround him, several people are standing where the camp fire was originally burning. more
Quotes:

Logan: [tapping on a glass window of maternity room] Wake up.
Francis 7: Logan, you are here. I couldn't believe it when they told me. What are you doing?
Logan: [indicates baby] Logan 6. Well it's not everyday that they authorize a new sandman. I tell you Francis,
[indicating baby]
Logan: that's him.
Francis 7: Well maybe, maybe not. What does it matter? Anyway, he isn't yours anymore.
Logan: [continues tapping lightly on the glass]
Francis 7: All right, you want me to wake him?

lots of good qualities in this one.., 18 July 2007
8/10
Author: witster18 from United States

First, the plot is interesting. It draws from Albert Huxley's 'A Brave New World' and goes where few films had gone before. If you take the 70's production with a grain of salt what you have is an excellent sci-fi thriller. The movie flies by. It builds and builds and even when we approach the end of the film we only wish it would keep going...keep answering all those questions that go unanswered...which really is the appeal of the film. This is a timeless sci-fi cult-classic. I am very much looking forward to the pending remake, but will be surprised if it is more effective than the original here. 'Logan's Run' delivers with constant thrills and intrigue, but still never gives us all we want... we want more. Films like this one use the unknown of the future to hold the audience in suspense(Much Like Planet of the Apes). We want to know how society evolved, but we are only privy to so much. Such is the intrigue of 'Logan's Run'.
