Zardoz Speaks
"ZARDOZ speaks to you his Chosen Ones.You have been raised up from Brutality
To kill the Brutals who multiply and are legion.
The gun is good.
The penis is evil.
The penis shoots seeds that brings new life
That has plaqued this planet for far too long.
Go forth and kill.
ZARDOZ has spoken."

Damn I have yet to see this Masterpiece, I guess I should get off my butt and try to track it down somewhere sometime? Very, very disturbing.....
Bill:
I was wondering when you were going to get around to promoting the most glorious, Zardoz Cult, oh, high priest. Sadly, I have not had much luck coverting anyone out here in the hinterland. Bloody Heathens! However, I did preach a little gospel on Saturday which may yet take root. My Janus head still maintains its place of honour in my home theatre experience.
It seems that you have freaked poor cinesonic out with that "out of context" quote which makes the movie out to be more extreme than it actually is.
"Cinesonic, the excerpt makes sense, in a comforting way, once you see the movie in its entirety," quoth this acolyte.

Consuella: What do you do in the Outlands?
Zed: I'm an exterminator.
Consuella: Who do you exterminate?
Zed: The Brutals.
Consuella: What do you do?
Zed: We hunt them down. We kill them. I love the moment of their death when I am one with Zardoz.
