Trivia for Logan's Run (1976)

* The costuming was originally intended to be relatively scanty for all the actors in the film, but it was decided the resulting demands on makeup were prohibitive.

* The first choices for the roles of Logan and Jessica were Jon Voight and Lindsay Wagner. The role of Peter Ustinov's character, the Old Man, was offered to James Cagney.

* The character of Francis was originally to be played by William Devane, but he pulled out of the film.

* According to Michael Anderson, the old man's buttons are United States pennies. He made makeshift buttons out of them because he couldn't find any real buttons.

* An extra makes the Star Trek Vulcan salute when waving to the old man after everyone escapes the exploding city.

* The shots of the pistons that controlled the elevator leading to the scene in the ice cave were taken directly from director Michael Anderson's previous film, The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959)

* The life clocks on everyone's hands all start out clear (at birth), turn yellow at age 8, green at 16, and red at 23. Everyone wears clothes the same color as their life clocks (except Sandmen, who wear black uniforms). As Lastday - age 30 - approaches, the life clocks flash red and black, then, at 30 turn totally black.

* During the encounter between the old man and the runners Logan and Jessica, the old man often quotes poems out of "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by T.S. Eliot.

* The waterfalls and steps that Logan jumps into to get back into the dome are real. They are located in Ft. Worth, Texas.

* Michael York, Richard Jordan and Michael Anderson Jr. were all over 30 when they made the film.

* This was originally going to be produced by George Pal, but by this time, Pal had already left the studio.
