Nice to see a little Zardoz love around here. Part of the problem is most people have likely seen the version that used to air on tv. It was pretty hacked up for broadcast standards, and important plot points were lost. I had no idea what happens to Sean's character at the end until I saw it uncut on home video years later.
And I'll take Connery in a pigtail and red undies over Connery in a bear costume any day of the week. I heard there were some brutals prowling around Dragoncon recently.
It makes a great double feature with THX 1138.
