THE WOMEN OF LOGAN'S RUN: PART THREE



PART THREE OF THREE

If there was ever a woman that deserved to be described as angelically-beautiful, it was Jenny Agutter. And yes, I know that every person on earth has a different definition of beauty.

While watching LOGAN'S RUN, my youthful mind ran wild with unwholesome thoughts. I loved the way she looked in that transparent mini-dress. All the female cast members wore them.



During the "ice cave" scene she took off that little dress, and I was mesmerized, and I stayed that way for the rest of the week.

When I was younger, it was normal for PG rated flicks to have nudity in them.



FYI: I'm almost positive she was wearing a "modesty patch" during that scene.


Jenny Agutter in SWEET WILLIAM ( top ), and THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS ( bottom )

Ms. Agutter dosen't spend a lot of time in THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS.

I think she did a great job in SWEET WILLIAM, and she looks incredibly cute.



I thought EQUUS was a memorable film.



I also liked watching her in THE EAGLE HAS LANDED, DOMINIQUE, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, THE SURVIVOR, CHILD'S PLAY 2, and a rare movie called DARK TOWER.

I think she's appeared in at least two comic book based flicks. THE AVENGERS and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, but I can NOT confirm this, since I've never seen those movies ( and not everything on the IMDB is true ).



CHINA 9, LIBERTY 37 - Is one of my favorite Jenny Agutter films, and I think it's really underrated.

It's been butchered countless times, and in countless ways.

What happened to this movie, is a cinematic crime!

Good luck trying to find an uncut version of this movie on region one DVD!

I've only seen it uncut twice. Once on cable tv ( a long time ago ), and once online.

I'm NOT going to get my hopes up, waiting for a restored version to hit DVD.


Jenny Agutter in MAGNUM P.I. ( episode: LITTLE GAMES )

Ms. Agutter has done a lot of television work.


Jenny Agutter in MAGNUM P.I. ( episode: LITTLE GAMES )

I still remember her episode of MAGNUM. I couldn't get my eyes off of her as she rode a horse like Lady Godiva - unfortunately for me, she was clothed... ha-ha-ha.



It was fun to watch her play an astronaut on THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.

As I write this, she's still working. I saw her in an English show called CALL THE MIDWIFE ( it airs on PBS ).



Ms. Agutter has had a long career. She even performed on BROADWAY.

Most of Ms. Agutter's work has been released on legit VHS, and region one DVD. However, there still might be a few that are not for sale, or only available in "cut" form.

As you know, LOGAN'S RUN has a dark storyline, and in my opinion, it should have been even darker - more nudity, more violence, and more paranoia.

Maybe it was darker... I've been told repeatedly, that LOGAN'S RUN had much more violence and nudity in it. It was allegedly CUT, and that footage is now "lost".

I've also been told that it was originally going to be rated R. Can anyone out there confirm this with facts?

So who cut it?... The studio?... The filmmakers?

LOGAN'S RUN was released on legit VHS by MGM.

It was also released on region one DVD countless times by WARNER BORS. The old "snapper" case with poster art, is my favorite.

THE WOMEN OF LOGAN'S RUN: PART TWO



PART TWO OF THREE

If I remember correctly, Ms. Fawcett appears twice in LOGAN'S RUN.

I'm NOT going to lie, and say she was one of my favorite actresses, because she wasn't. I thought she was ok.

It's NOT her fault that the idiots in the so-called "mainstream" media saturated the airwaves with any bit of minutia they could dig up about her. All the non-stop hype seemed to have a negative effect on her career.


Farrah Fawcett in LOGAN'S RUN

Understand this, I did NOT dislike her. As I said before, the fucking "mainstream" media didn't know when to stop talking about Ms. Fawcett. Because of that, most of the public became sick of hearing about her.

I remember when she died, a lot of mentally unstable internet-trolls, started posting some incredibly VILE things about her on message boards ( mostly horror websites ). What does that tell you about their mentality? Karma truly is a bitch, and it will all come back to them.

Just for the record, I think she became a better actress as time went on.



I was a little bored by SATURN 3, but I did not hate it.



Unless you've been living under a rock, you know Ms. Fawcett was one of the stars of CHARLIE'S ANGELS.

She appeared in a lot of other tv shows. Such as, I DREAM OF JEANNIE, THE FLYING NUN, McCLOUD, MARCUS WELBY M.D., HARRY O, and THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.

Ms. Fawcett was also in made-for-tv-movies. Such as, MURDER IN TEXAS, and DALVA.


Region one DVD covers for DALVA. It was released at least two times by ECHO BRIDGE.

During one scene in DALVA, Farrah comes out of the water, and she is soaking wet. As a result, her clothes become transparent. I've got to admit, I thought she looked really great in that scene. DALVA is pure "chick-flick", but I kept watching anyway.


Farrah Fawcett on the DATING GAME


Farrah Fawcett in MURDER ON FLIGHT 502

MURDER ON FLIGHT 502 is one of the most popular made-for-tv-movies ever made, and it's extremely easy to find on home video.

Some of her theatrical flicks include, EXTREMITIES, THE CANNONBALL RUN, and DR. T AND THE WOMEN.

I don't know how much of Ms. Fawcett's work has been released on VHS and region one DVD.

THE WOMEN OF LOGAN'S RUN: PART ONE



PART ONE OF THREE

MODIFIED ON JANUARY 18, 2015.....

I loved watching this movie in the theater, then on cable, then on CBS, and then on VHS... And now, on DVD.

I had the LOGAN'S RUN novel. I also had a pressbook, 8x10 stills, and one version of the theatrical poster. All of those items have long disappeared.


A negative newspaper review of LOGAN'S RUN.

This movie was shown all over the world, and it also had countless home video releases ( on almost all formats ).

After all this time, I think it's safe to say, that LOGAN'S RUN had the LAST LAUGH.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, who the hell remembers the critics?!

Just for the record, this movie always had a following. These days, LOGAN'S RUN is more popular than ever.

I'm going to focus my attention on three actresses, Jenny Agutter, Farrah Fawcett ( 1947 – 2009 ), and Candice Rialson ( 1951 – 2006 ). All of them appeared in LOGAN'S RUN.

I'm also going to focus on the MOVIE version of LOGAN'S RUN... NOT the television series.


Candice Rialson in LOGAN'S RUN

Ms. Rialson's appearance in LOGAN'S RUN is extremely brief.

FYI: You can get a better view of her in the FULLscreen version.


Candice Rialson in LOGAN'S RUN

I still remember her appearance on MAUDE. She was only on screen for a few minutes, but that was better than nothing.


Candice Rialson in MAUDE ( episode: CONSENTING ADULTS )



HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD is one of Ms. Rialson's better known films. It's also one of my personal favorites. She gets A LOT of screen time in this flick.



Some of her other movies are... PETS, CANDY STRIPE NURSES, MAMA'S DIRTY GIRLS, SUMMER SCHOOL TEACHERS, CHATTERBOX!, STUNTS, and MOONSHINE COUNTY EXPRESS.

At least half of Ms. Rialson's movies have been released on legit VHS, and region one DVD. Some are harder to find than others. There are also gray-market discs of her rare movies. You may also be able to find some of her films online.

MOVIE ADS: THE MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS



I loved watching this - and THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK - when I was young.

MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS was one of many alleged documentaries that were released during the seventies.

Just appreciate it as entertainment, and enjoy yourself. Far too many idiots over analyze everything!

I saw MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS at one of my local theaters. I almost choked on my popcorn when a woman seated in front of me, yelled ( out of fear ). What a wimp!



I'm not sure, but I think MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS was also shown on local tv channels across the United States.

Peter Graves ( 1926 – 2010 ) is the narrator of this film. He had such an authoritative voice.

I don't know if MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS ever had a legit VHS release, but I do remember bootleg tapes being sold at local "swap-meets".

The only region one DVD that I know of, is sold by CHEEZY FLICKS. I do NOT own this disc, so I can't tell you if it's worth buying. I've read a lot of bad things about them. I've also read many good things about this company, so... caveat emptor!

You can also watch it online for free ( from different sources ).
