If you've never before understood why Star Wars was so groundbreaking and mind-blowing, note that Logan's Run, came out just 1 year before A New Hope. So in a year, audiences went from "guy in aluminum foil mask with dryer ventilation tubes for arms, named BOX" to C3PO, R2D2, X-wings, TIE fighters, Star Destroyers, Darth Vader, Tusken Raiders, Stormtroopers, Jawas, lightsabers, etc.

I agree, feels so weird knowing this film came out a year before Star Wars. I think its fair to say that Logan's Run is the last of the old sci-fi with Star Wars starting the new sci-fi era, note how the editing is more slower paced and action rather basic, which Star Wars and Blade Runner both changed.

Logan is the first Sandman to learn of Sanctuary The only Sandman to ever run The others who made it as far as Box were just normal civilians with no real weapons to defend themselves Logan has his Sandman gun, if he didn’t, he and Jessica would have been frozen by Box just like all the others It’s interesting that the Runner ‘key’ literally leads directly to Box - there seems to be an integrated system in place to catch all the runners - carousel, Sandmen, Box Is it possible that this ‘system’ was somehow set up eons ago with multiple checkpoints to prevent anyone from ever getting out? Hmmm 🤔 The mystery and unanswered questions are part of what still makes this movie so great after all this time - Classic! Love this film!!

Makes you wonder how much the city leaders knew about their food supply situation. Clearly they must have had gaps in their knowledge. Not only were they unaware that there was no sanctuary, but they had apparently not bothered to send out a team of technicians or sandmen to check out the outer paths from the city and stumble across Box to find out that the escapees were either in cold storage or coming back into the city in the form of foodstuffs. Kind of makes you wonder how that city had managed to survive so long with such stupid leadership.

In the LN novel, Box is a sex-obsessed manual laborer at a Government emergency marine life food storage station near Washington, D.C. Like the Tin Man in the Oz books, he becomes an essentially immortal cyborg when more and more of his body parts are replaced with machinery. Left alone at the station after society collapses, he goes steadily insane, mixing his original mission with self-aggrandizement. Fancying himself a great artist, he gets the Runners who find their way to the site -- which they mistakenly believe to be Sanctuary -- to disrobe and be captured by him in (ice) sculpture, before they are physically captured and stuffed in the bins formerly used for marine life. That's why Logan and his friend are shown naked at the very start of this clip.

The Box in the book was a child molester and murderer. He was mangled trying to escape capture for his crimes, and machinery replaced the parts of his body too damaged to be healed. He was sentenced to the prison Hell at the North Pole, which, with his cyborg parts, he finds to his liking. He doesn't become a harvester robot as in the film. He and Logan and Jessica have an... interaction that doesn't go so well for Box, ultimately. In a bargain with Logan and Jessica, they must pose for him as he carves an ice sculpture of the pair, in exchange for a way out of the prison Hell. That bargain was included in the original edit of the film, but for the final edit the scene was removed, both to shorten the film and to remove nude scenes as the couple pose.

If corpses get sent back, there must be an automated supply chain that does the food prep, because nobody knows about it. It really is easier to assume non-cannibalism.

No. The reason the fish, seagreens, etc... stopped coming was because they were being harvested by the city. Hence "they stopped coming". The people were the runners who thought they were traveling to Sanctuary. Boxes job was to freeze things, so he kept freezing things. Any transport mechanism for what he processed stopped a long time ago as all those people are still there.

I've always thought that Box was simply used as an explanation for how when Logan and Jessica got out of the Domed city that no previous Runners were already there. Box had caught and frozen them all - Logan being armed was presumably the difference maker. Some sources say he was a `guard' but that doesn't fit his own explanation.

I made a big effort to get a copy of the story, it was like three pages long, I think it was in a magazine? "Rollerball Murder" it might have been called. The Logan's Run world is very high tech and attractive in its way. They have teleportation, a pink fog as a drug, walk-in surgery.... real working artificial intelligence, little hovercraft as I recall, dashing outfits, rocket pistols, some stuff you can spray on a dead person to just dissolve them (don't get any ON you!).... And Jessica's legs are pretty amazing. Maybe they have special exercises in The FUTURE, or are they surgically enhanced?

All of the actresses in that scene all had decent shapes. Of course, it seemed as though that society had some guidelines on health and shape, at least in my observation and in the movie anyway. They make for good scenery anyway. I feel bad for them though, they had to stay perfectly still as they were actual actors with body paint and not mannequins in the movie.

The one thing I hate about watching old movies is knowing all of those actors are dead. 0:58 check out the reflection of a crew dude in the robot. 1:29 another reflection in the robot that shows the crew. In fact in every scene you can see reflections of the crew, lighting and cameras. That's nothing major of course, much newer sitcoms like fuckin' Friends are way worse. Showing mic's and crew, crew in reflections and actors laughing out of place.

BUT, the doesn't even see them as human -- just as "food" (for the city, which will however never be retrieved b/c all info about the cave, Box, and the post-nuke survival support system he's part of was lost long ago. He's also developed an artistic sensibility. Finally, note how he attempts to absolve himself of responsibility ("It's [just] my job"), and reconcile them to being frozen. Quite un-robotlike.

Eh, it's probably just a plot device for him to be like that. However, let's think about it from a different perspective, he may be doing that to people from possible programming corruption from operating for so long. Also, if he's a cyborg, some parts of him would be organic and may not be able to be programmed to obey the Three Laws of Robotics. Also, that may have never been an aspect of robotics in that fictional universe. Of course, being he's not exactly human, he may have not identified people as being off-limits if he wasn't told what humans are. He may have been programmed or created in the absence of people originally in the state of automation he existed in. There's so many possibilities that could work with a possible plot explanation. In the end, it was part of the script and doesn't need to make sense. It's just a reason for them to show naked people and see Jenny naked as well.

I just recently rewatched the movie, and I'm more convinced than ever that my theory about Box is right: at one time he was a key in one of the food supply chains of the City. Remember how their escape proceeded: Logan and Jessica (and the Runners before them) pass through a door into an area of deep pools, and Logan suspects they were used to breed sea creatures for food at one time, but now they are clearly abandoned, and have been sealed off behind a door that needs an ankh-key to open. But it _is_ a door, at one time people came and went through there. At the far end of the abandoned pools and dead infra-structure, they find what is quite clearly a cargo lift, the kind used for moving large loads, and it lifts them straight up into the Ice Cave, where they meet Box, who talks about storing seafood in ice. My guess is that once upon a time, somebody or something brought in seafood to the Ice Cave, where Box would freeze it until it was needed. Back when the system was working, the cargo lift would have brought the goods down into the under-City infrastructure for use. Some of the fish might be taken directly down the left and put into the pools without being frozen, and from there into the City system. Of course it probably was not the _only_ such food supply chain, because this was is clearly defunct and has been for a long time. But some of the tech still worked, the elevator would lift, creakily, and the refrigerators kept the Ice Cave cold. Who brought in the seafood? Who knows? Logan and Jessica find an old abandoned road, that might have been used at one time to bring the stuff in (maybe after they floated it up the Potomac?) What went wrong? Who knows? Though IIRC the Old Man did say that 'all the fish died' at some point, maybe that's when that particular supply chain broke. But it also supports my contention that the City of Domes is spiraling slowly down.
@shermanlee4037
Жыл бұрын
An addendum to my post above, it just occurred to me that there might be a connection between the Old Man and the Ice Cave. That is, as I noted above, at one time _somebody_ was bringing in seafood and sea greens and so forth from the ocean to Box. It stopped coming, as Box noted, so the cyborg (who is clearly out to lunch himself) started freezing Runners. Also, the Runners apparently started arriving not long after the supply flow from the ocean stopped. IIRC, the Old Man said that all the 'fish died' at one point. He was raised the normal way by his parents, who were apparently married. He knew about funerals, his father had told him some of the old children's stories about the Presidents. They clearly remembered quite a bit about the past before Whatever Happened. But the Old Man is the last one left of whatever community once lived in the ruins of D.C. It just hit me that maybe, at one time, the Old Man's parents and whoever else lived in the remains of the capitol might have been the ones who brought in the seafood to the City for Box to freeze. When something killed off the local sea life, that chain of supply broke, and the people in the ruined city had to depart, and the Old Man remained behind for whatever reason.
