Outland was not so great, either, although I like it when sci-fi movies can keep their wardrobe and weaponry down-to-earth.  So many of them seem to say, "But it's space!  We have to dress in jumpsuits and carry phaser-blasters!"

I agree, the mundane weaponry and wardrobe allowed one to concentrate on the movie & not the props.

This is one of the reasons I liked Firefly.

well, the women's costumes were... um... interesting...

 At least, they would have been, if the women had been worth looking at...

Where's Strings? He needs to describe Zardoz for everyone.

You could just read the Agony Booth recap -> http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Zardoz_1974.aspx
