Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the Old Man is showing Logan some of the portraits that used to hang on the walls of the Capitol, a portrait of former President Richard Nixon was originally included, with the line "They used to call him tricky... something." According to Michael Anderson, the gag was considered too controversial at the time.
- GoofsJessica's panties keep changing from light to dark green. In one scene, they appear to be beige.
- Quotes
Box: Regular storage procedure. The same as the other food. The other food stopped coming. And they started.
Logan: What other food?
Box: Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...
- Alternate versionsScenes edited out:
- The Francis Hunt: The original opening scene had Francis 7 hunting a runner and shooting him backwards into a water fountain to applause from the onlookers. this was because it was deemed too violent for PG and would have got a R Rating in the US and either a AA (14 and over)/2021 15 or X (18 and over)/2021 18 in the UK
- Box carving an ice sculpture of Logan and Jessica. This was removed as they were fondling each other in a lovers' embrace and this would have meant an R rating in the USA and possibly a AA (14 and over)/ 2021 15 or even a X certificate/ 2021 18 ( Adults Only 18 and over) in the UK
- Francis and Logan meeting a woman on Lastday. They casually chat about it and this illustrates the society's indifference to death.
- Longer, racier version of sequence involving characters passing through an orgy shop. again this would have been R rated in the US and AA (14 and over)/2021 15 or X (Adults Only 18 and over)/2021 18 in the UK

Featured review
Science Fiction Classic
Logan (Michael York) is a Sandman, someone who kills all those who refuse to sacrifice themselves on their 30th birthday. But when his clock starts ticking, Logan and Jessica (Jenny Agutter) make a run for it.
I had seen this film in the mid-1990s for a class, and thought it was pretty good. Re-watching it now (2015), I can see why it is a science fiction classic, though some holes are now there. And I do not just mean plot holes (of which there are a few). The city exteriors are obviously a model, and it is almost humorous how easy it is to tell.
But the story is very good and now a part of pop culture. The two leads are great, and I wish Agutter had done more horror and sci-fi in the 70s/80s. Farrah Fawcett's role is small and sort of peculiar. Peter Ustinov is great, and nice comedic relief. Now sure what was up with all the nudity, but...
