[edit] Less duplication, more film-focused

Changes I just checked in to this article eliminated some of the overlap left over from the original spinoff of this article from Logan's Run the novel. The copy editing I did included making the plot summary stand alone from the book. This article is definitely the place for the summary of how the film differs from the book, but the various other adaptations that were described in both articles are now only in the one for the novel. 72.244.207.253 02:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Plot summary is missing some bits

Some mention of the scenes with the cathedral cubs, at the "new you" center (with Farrah Fawcett-Majors) and in the "love shop" are needed. 72.244.206.112 12:14, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Race

What, nothing about here being hundereds of people in the movies, and not one of them black?

Thanks for the hint. I've seen the movie several times but have never realized, that all folks are caucasian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.180.112.11 (talk) 14:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

The Urban Legend referred to is correct.

In the April 30, 1975 draft of the script Francis' death scene concludes with this line:

FRANCIS Logan! You renewed!

And he is dead. DIRECT CUT TO:

The question was whether Jordan said this on his actual deathbed in 1993. Mcflytrap 15:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Not sure how to add it, but the scene were Francis fights Logan in the outside world was in the United States Senate chamber. Also two of the old pictures were Franklin Pierce and Abraham Lincoln. Can't find a source though. GoodDay 21:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The DS Gun

While the workings of the movie/TV series DS Gun are not explained directly, it is clearly a beam weapon. The duration of the flame in the movie varies by as much as one second, which only a beam weapon would do. In the pilot of the TV series, Logan burns an opening to escape with the DS Gun, by holding the trigger and aiming the gun where the line was burned. 64.122.31.130 02:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

You are mistaken. The flash/pop sound the gun makes shows it to be a projectile weapon. As for the TV series, that is a different matter -- the TV show established it as a beam weapon, so that they could use a stun setting. But no, the operational mechanics in the film clearly show it to be a projectile firing weapon. --Jason Palpatine 03:50, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
