Some things I learned from Logan's Run

Mega-cities of the future are constructed from old matchboxes and wobbly cigarette packets.

Mega-cities of the future look suspiciously like 1970s shopping centres.

An entire mega-city of thousands of people can be fed on a small number of its dead inhabitants.

If you are going to a lawless part of the city filled with violent gangs, make sure you take a scantily dressed female with you.

Fourteen year hoodlums of the future look and move like undersized 25 year old extras from West Side Story.

Computers explode if they receive information they don't like.

If you are trying to sneak into a mega city of the future, simply dive into a pool of water with no idea of where it might lead or if you can get back out.

People who live in post apocalyptic cities with nothing to do all day never bother to explore more than a few miles around their home.

Mega cities of the future where everywhere is patrolled by armed guards and omniscient computers will still have lots of unattended and abandoned areas where you can sneak out from.

Box's creators didn't have much imagination. Nor did the people who named him

Logan doesn't want to be a flasher

Jessica needn't have worried about her clothes freezing on her. She was hot enough to fry them to a crisp in seconds

The restitution of life is no great feat. A variety of deaths may well enter into your punishment

-Tell a girl in the 23rd century to take off her clothes, and she will do so without protest. Logan didn't even sneak a glance over at a naked Jessica...that's some real willpower, right there.

If you escape from a futuristic society, you can survive without food and water for a very long time.

Walking barefoot on ice does not make your feet cold.

AI that is trying to manipulate you into doing its dirty work will not entice you with anything positive so that you succeed. It will actually get other people to try to kill you instead.

Your best friend won't realize you are not supposed to be four years older, so he will not be confused and will try to kill you anyways.

The Old Man respects the U.S. flag - he did not incorporate it into his outfit - so it can still be used as a weapon.

Logan doesn't run very much. Or very well.

If you bring an old man with you from far far away, it's okay to tell him to just sit and wait there, while you dive into this pool of water that could lead anywhere.

No one related to the production of this movie didn't question the necessity of its existence - and no one was ashamed to be named in the credits.
