It is neither Horror nor Sci-fi. It is unique in its LSD awesomeness.
I give it a 10!

Way back, someone (Brigade Games?) offered Zardoz miniatures. I bought 6 for my Sedan Chair Races project.

The flying head at the start is beyond fantastic – cinema should be able to offer fantastical images and challenging stories. I'm not asking for a remake, what a hollow waste of time that would be, but I'll be happy to see the "next zardoz-like' film.

X) I have not drunk the Flavor-Aid.

On a whim, I googled "28mm Zardoz", and I found a few options. Etsy among others.
Even a conversion for "Zardork". Whet your X-acto knives!

It was The Warstore (RIP) that offered the Zardoz figures- totally forgot I ordered 3 until I came across them recently looking for other figures…

Ah, yes. The Warstore. Thanks.

Only seen it once.

6?

Lots of competition.

A Xanadu crossover may be worth it.

10! TEN! Loud and clear. I was one of the original ringleaders of the silly Zardoz movement here on TMP. The film is… indescribable!

And so you either revel in its weirdness or shun it entirely as a waste of your time, and I get that. But let the DVD commentary from the director speak for itself. ZARDOZ definitely had a method behind its madness, even if it didn't quite stick.

Besides, it's a glorious period piece and even Sean Connery couldn't get all the copies recalled and burned.

I still have four or five unpainted Zeds from that defunct production, I was going to paint them in different colored diapers and make some kind of game scenario around them all, Zed Prime, Zed Blue, Zed Yellow, etc.

ZERO waste of celluloid
