No "bad science fiction movie marathon" is complete without "Zardoz" (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zardoz ). Sean Connery with a pony tail and wearing red leather straps...I guess he must have needed the money at the time. :-)

OMG! That is the most hideous costume that Sean is wearing! I'd never even heard of "Zardoz" before. We didn't even have it on the sub--and OUR sub was where all stinkaroo movies went to die.

If he has a web site that contains stills from his movies, somehow I don't think *that* one is on it... :-) A friend of mine worked as a contractor at Thule Air Force Base in Greenland in 1967 - 69, and he said that their movie fare was also often rather "bottom of the barrel."

"Zardoz" was incomprehensible. My mother, father, and I watched it one night on TV during the 1980s (since Sean Connery was listed as the lead in the newspaper TV schedule, we thought it would be a good film). When it ended, we all looked at each other with puzzled expressions. I had to read the online IMDb (Internet Movie Database) synopsis many years later to understand what was going on!

funny how these Yorf threads always go off topic - now I'm going to have to borrow the Fifth Element dvd from my brother.....

Aw, c'mon, "The Fifth Element" is at least good for some laughs --- you just can't take it seriously. If you put it in for the humor value, there's some fun scenes. Heck, Chris Tucker as "Ruby Rhod" alone is priceless (and if anyone throws up a little every time a movie of theirs is shown, I'd be willing to bet it's Chris --- for this role alone!)

Besides, Mila J. is easy on the eyes!

Me too. The original MST3K with Joel Hodgson. I didn't much care for his replacement. I wish someone like SyFy would run those old shows again.

It's almost like MST3K divorced itself and split the kids into two families.

I watched "The Fifth Element" the other day.

The rocket in the hand held unit looked more like a BT-60 rocket. It didn't look like anything specific but it appeard to have a 4:1 ogive cone.
