According to the movie\u2019s director and writer, John Boorman, Connery badly needed money and agreed to do the movie on that basis. He must\u2019ve been <em>really<\/em> broke.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is 23rd-century romp in which all of humanity is divided up into the lusty and animalistic \u201cBrutals\u201d and the psychic and ethereal \u201cEternals\u201d at the \u201cVortex\u201d who have no need to procreate, while a huge flying stone head distributes armaments across the countryside. Sean Connery plays \u201cZed,\u201d an \u201cExterminator\u201d who manages to infiltrate the \u201cVortex,\u201d where he discombobulates the Eternals\u2019 barren notions of sex and violence\u2014or something. Along the way the huge stone head\u2014\u201cZardoz\u201d to you\u2014memorably bellows the mottos \u201cThe gun is good!\u201d and \u201cThe penis is evil!\u201d The movie is heady and trashy in a way that only the cinema of the 1970s could possibly muster.<\/p>\n<p>Boorman made several straightforwardly excellent movies, including <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/6305558167\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=boxoffbof-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=6305558167&amp;linkId=a4525c7cd00614c73104032711c4352c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Excalibur<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004LBMN0E\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=boxoffbof-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B004LBMN0E&amp;linkId=4d02107de1b5eb81b7abc7240235e406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hope and Glory<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00IY1T8T6\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=boxoffbof-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00IY1T8T6&amp;linkId=2a95be426fcd8337e1030852402b6fb4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Point Blank<\/a><\/em>, and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000RTB0R6\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=boxoffbof-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B000RTB0R6&amp;linkId=5a5deed003b337a28fd097835f642148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deliverance<\/a><\/em>, which makes the eternal peculiarities of <em>Zardoz<\/em> all the more astonishing.<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/dangerousminds.net\/comments\/the_penis_is_evil_sean_connery_charlotte_rampling_in_zardoz_the_playboy_spr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click to continue reading at Dangerous Minds<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from Dangerous Minds \u2018THE PENIS IS EVIL!\u2019: SEAN CONNERY &amp; CHARLOTTE RAMPLING IN \u2018ZARDOZ,\u2019 THE PLAYBOY SPREAD (NSFW) Zardoz might be the only movie that can fairly be compared to D-Day, in that if you haven\u2019t endured it yourself, you really haven\u2019t the slightest notion what it\u2019s like.
