This Sean Connery Sci-Fi Box Office Flop Is a So-Bad-It’s-Good Gem

Beloved actor of the silver screen, made iconic for his performances as James Bond, Ramirez in Highlander, and John Patrick Mason in 1996’s The Rock, Sean Connery created an impressive body of work before his passing on October 31, 2020. Still, some of his work did not withstand the test of time, and others were complete flops from the get-go. One can look at the 1974 flop Zardoz as an example of both, a movie that some say was ahead of its time, while others call it a self-indulgent passion project that should never have been released to theaters.
