Logan's Run
IMDB ^ | 1976 | IMDB

Posted on 09/30/2023 3:02:46 PM PDT by DallasBiff

It's 2274, and on the surface, it all seems to be an idyllic society. Living in a city within an enclosed dome, there is little or no work for humans to perform, and inhabitants are free to pursue all of the pleasures of life. There is one catch however: your life is limited and when you reach thirty, it is terminated in a quasi-religious ceremony known as "carrousel". Some, known as "runners", try to escape their fate when the time comes, and it's the job of Sandmen to track them down and kill them. Logan (Michael York) is such a man, and with several years before his own termination date, thinks nothing of the job he does. Soon after meeting a young woman, Jessica-6 (Jenny Agutter), he is ordered to become a runner and infiltrate a community outside the dome known as "Sanctuary" and to destroy it.

“That and the one where people in vehicles ran over others. Some were worth more than others. Can’t remember all of it....”

That was Death Race 2000 with David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone and others.
Simone Griffeth, Roberta Collins and Joyce Jameson were the eye candy.

The race was to determine the new President of the US. The object was to run over as many people as possible, there by accumulating points. Young and healthy were worth more points than old people.

Nothing like staggering half-cut down the street after closing time with some friends shouting, “Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It’s all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day!”

Are you conflating "Logan's Run" with "Soylent Green?"

One black guy in the entire cast and they painted him silver.

You are right! The nuts think only they will survive.

Well, you're correct... but also it was a quote from the film.

Which I saw in the theater.

Thanks Dad!

They had a movie of the future called ‘Logan’s Run’. There ain’t no n___ers in it.

I said, “Well, white folks ain’t planning for us to be here.”
