The Last-Minute Scene That Changed Zardoz (1974) Forever

Here is the strange, true story of how a last-minute studio edit ruined the ending of a sci-fi masterpiece. In 1974, director John Boorman released Zardoz, a film famous for putting Sean Connery in a red diaper immediately after he left James Bond. But the real tragedy isn't the costume—it's the prologue. Panicked by test audiences who didn't understand the film, the studio forced a "Floating Head" intro that literally explains the entire plot before the movie starts. In this episode of Golden Flicker, we fix the timeline. We explore the "Lost Lord of the Rings" that inspired it, the "Wizard of Oz" twist that was spoiled, and how this box office bomb predicted the future of AI and depression. The Gun is Good.
