My favorite Zardoz reference is in D&D's Forgotten Realms.
There's a character named Jarlaxle Baenre, who uses illusions to adopt a bunch of identities. One of those identities is a man named Captain Zardoz Zord. Zord's outfit is basically the same as Connery's in Zardoz.
Bonus points: Jarlaxle has a submarine (accessible from Captain Zardoz's ship) named the Scarlet Marpenoth. "Marpenoth" is the name of the 10th month of the year in the Forgotten Realms, and of course "Scarlet" is a shade of red.
In 2010 or so, I watched Outland on streaming. It's High Noon in space, with Sean Connery. It's not movie of the year and it's not ground breaking, but it was a good, gritty sci fi movie that I enjoyed. I gave it a good rating and then Netflix proceeded to show something like "If you enjoy Sean Connery in Outland, check out Zardoz."
On the Rubicon 3 planet the edo according to Tasha yar make love on a drop of the hat so they get down in public anywhere and accidental bones are the least of their worries lol
Zardoz is a gol' durn classic and I'll go to my grave with that belief. It absolutely swings for the fences. It doesn't always succeed, but I love a film with ambition and big ideas. Then again, I enjoyed the heck out of Megalopolis for the same reasons, so take that into account.
“You have been raised up from Brutality, to kill the Brutals who multiply, and are legion. To this end, Zardoz your God gave you the gift of the Gun. The Gun is good!
“The Penis is evil! The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the Gun shoots Death and purifies the Earth of the filth of Brutals. Go forth, and kill! Zardoz has spoken.”

I always remember this episode and thinking how uncomfortable that costume must have been. His genitals are cleft in twain.

It was the same crotch sewer that did Troi’s costume here too. Sometimes she moves like she’s trying to hide it.

Captain Zardoz owns the Red October.

ANOTHER Sean Connery sci fi movie? Fuck yeah!
Damn it Netflix...

God I love Sean Connery in his "Anything to distance myself from James Bond" phase. Meteor, Zardoz, Highlander, Outland.
Then he turns down Gandalf, Dumbledore, and the Architect.
He must have given his representation a nervous breakdown.

Outland, with Nurse Chapel! High Noon in space

It’s kind of funny how similar that planet is to Zardoz

And to think, he turned down the Lord of the Rings but said yes to Zardoz.🤦♀️

He probably wasn't enthralled with having to go to New Zealand and make a years long commitment. Especially as he was getting older by the late 90s.

Weird that they edited the revolver out of Sean Connery's right hand.

Denise Crosby looks like she's asking someone off-stage if it's sexual harassment just making her stand next to this guy.

I can't help notice that Mr. Connery [ahem] fills out his costume much better.

The guy in TNG was probably wearing one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_belt ("to present a smooth and inexplicit contour to onlookers...")
