Logan's Run: Water Gardens (split screen)

The Fort Worth Water Gardens on July 18th 1975.

[@rossjones5741]

The Water Gardens were just completed when this film is made. It's still here in Ft. Worth, 45 years ago. I pass by it on my way to work.

[@thunderbolt2145]

I'll never forget the next line York delivered to Ustinov- "I'm sorry, I don't think you'll be able to make it." I was 7 years of age and reality hit me that one day I too would grow old. It made me appreciate my youth, and I had as much fun doing physical activity as I could while still a kid. All of that inspired from a kitchy Sci-fi classic.

[@richelliott9320]

She is one of the hottest actresses of the 70’s those outfits in the movie were perfect for her

[@FranktheDachshund]

And for a very brief instance her boobs were flashed. I probably wore a hole in the VHS tape on that scene.

[@scvandy3129]

"richelliott9320," And what Jenny Agutter had in 1975 -- ultra feminine figure, including luscious 'legs up to here' and blessedly no droop 'up there' -- and clearly fetching prettiness and 'way about herself' -- made HER perfect for the sexy, tastefully-revealing outfits adorning 'Jessica.' . . .. . . If Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer had marketed a poster of their "Logan's Run" female lead in one of 'those outfits' a la Farrah Fawcett's iconic 'red one piece bathing suit with nipple impression' Ms. Fawcett would have had some healthy competition. And 'boys from 8 to 80' worldwide would have been the beneficiaries in addition to, monetarily with a piece of the sales*, Jenny. *$400,000 is the cut Ms. Fawcett received from the estimated 12 million posters sold. Thank you, "Great Hall 75."

A true classic from 1976, and after 47 years still holds strong. It holds a very special place in my heart ❤️😊

[@wolfbringer]

I grew up in Fort Worth, when I saw this movie when it first came out, I freaked out my mom was like big deal , you been there a hundred times. Before I moved from Fort Worth, I saw it hundred times more. My own kids know this place as well. Man i miss climbing the "mountain" and the sound of the water coming down those walls.

[@taviscraigie3705]

I was there yesterday. I grew up in Dallas and am back on vacation from California. My Mom and Dad took us there many times and then to Angelos for awesome BBQ!

[@garycole2976]

My wife and I went there Fort Worth it was our anniversary trip from the UK

[@kevinluschak5241]

I fell in love with her when I first saw the movie!

[@bikebudha01]

That is hysterical, with all the cars in the parking lot behind the shot...

[@Mindsi]

Gotta look at this film in context of the time -Genius in it time and still genius today. And it’s prequel Soylent green!

[@timsimpson9367]

Damn, I think I was 8 years old when I saw this. My mum took me and my brother and sister to see it. Still one of the best of the 70's movies.

[@twebster9498]

We used to go there all the time when I was young. I used to be so scared to walk down those steps. There are no railings or anything to hold on to.

[@Guairdean]

My girlfriend and I went to the Water Gardens about a year before the movie came out, it was right after they opened. We walked down the same way as the characters in the movie, but we didn't dive in. It was really neat seeing them in the movie. We went back the day and walked down again. The relationship didn't last, but the memories did.

[@Armis71]

Good thing you didn't dive in. It was 9 feet deep with a pump on the bottom. You could have drowned.

[@afriend9428]

*Jenny Agutter is so pretty!* ❤ 💋 ❤️ 💋 ❤️

[@BalBurgh]

I got to make a pilgrimage there in about 2004. It was a very cool thing to experience. I think the Water Gardens were also featured in the original adaptation of The Lathe of Heaven.

[@markzappasodi]

Some rare, unseen footage for me! Any new Jenny footage from Logan's Run is a wonderful surprise for me. ❤️

[@Riverrockphotos]

Someone got the hots for Jenny? I don't blame you.

[@fiver-hoo]

[@stephenw4285]

I was visiting my Aunt in Dallas, she took my mom and me to the Water Gardens. This was just a year or so after this movie came out. I remember standing on the steps and having a major mind freak. My brain told me I’d been here before, but it was my first time in Dallas. Then the light bulb went off.....it was like nirvana. 🤓

[@fw1421]

I’ve lived in Fort Worth for 24 years and have never visited the water gardens. I’ll have to make an effort to see them.

[@peacebrother6432]

That was the Fort Worth Water Gardens. Great movie.

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

Fantastic job editing this with the scene from the film vs. the bts footage. Really nice

[@CoreyChambersLA]

Awesome. The mall and the water gardens were perfect.

[@sagittarianfirerat7657]

Thank you for acknowledging that this scene took place in Fort Worth. I walked down those steps, they were wet and slippery. My parents, my cousin, and sister went all the way down.

[@wingitprod]

Excellent:-) I love to think about how many times my feet have walked the same ground as Jenny Agutter

[@traceyjones607]

Love her in an American werewolf in London.

[@jetcarddude]

[@StudlyStudmuffin]

[@aboutface7961]

if you take a trip to the UK - Cornwall coast, around the Lizard peninsula area. The trails there have been walked on by Jenny Agutter 1000s of times. And its a unique place to visit also. You can see some youtube vids on her in the area.

[@TXTigresa]

I remember this film AND I remember the water gardens back in the day. The trees have grown up a bit and the Hilton hotel in some of these shots is long gone. What comes to mind here is them walking barefoot. I don't know when they shot this but it wasn't in summer or they'd be dancing on scorching concrete.

"TXTigresa," " . . . it wasn't in summer . . . " How did you not see, AT THE VERY BEGINNING, 0:00 - 0:02, the nearly IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS date of filming, July 18, 1975, as designated on the director of photography's clapper board? That of course refutes " . . . it wasn't in summer . . . ". . . . . . . . Certainly interesting that a Hilton Hotel disappeared, i.e., "long gone." Thank you, "Great Hall 75."

[@kpmac1]

I went to the water gardens in May. I'm very impressed that Ustinov was able to get down those steps by himself. They're surprisingly treacherous. My wife and I stood and watched people going down and were kinda worried about some of the older folks.

[@DavidHeizer]

People have fallen and drowned.

[@wordsofcheresie936]

He had that staff. All good wizard know to use a staff on treacherous ground.

[@vornamenachname5589]

he was born in 1921. so he was only 54 when this was filmed.

[@douggraham5082]

Always wanted to go there. I was once in the DFW area and only had about an hour to spare but my cab driver said the Water Gardens were too far from where I was.

[@jamesbernsen3516]

It probably was. Everything in Dallas is an hour from Dallas. Fort Worth is only an hour on the map, but two hours any day during the week.

[@QuarrellaDeVil]

Had the pleasure yesterday of having this whole pool to myself for a few minutes, thanks to cooler temperatures sending folks indoors. For those familiar with the term "Hell's Half Acre", if you're walking around here, you're walking on the site of where that was. Take a little walk a few blocks north to Houston and 9th, and you can see an interesting sculpture of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid with the other members of the Wild Bunch, all of whom did more than a little partying here.

[@Greathall75]

We're so lucky to have the Water Gardens still with us. Glad you were able to have it all to yourself for awhile.

[@greghuffman3061]

id love to see more spots in film where ive seen in person.

[@joegetz1695]

That’s awesome. I could see my apartment when they cut to the cameraman

[@xman577]

Brings back memories. I just graduated from high school. What is this movie out in the theaters 1976?

[@itsnotme07]

What's really funny to me is, I knew this place was in Fort Worth...and I've been in the Dallas area since 1996 mostly. Never been there to see it myself. It's actually pretty dangerous...if you slip/fall in. But of course someone who's "30" shouldn't have those issues. haha. Great job "covering up the 70's" around it. I hope things never get to something like that....and yet, some in the Ukraine would tell you it's already here. Anyways....great movie....and lots of "cool" sub plot stuff.

[@MelancoliaI]

Not too often you see a science fiction film take place of on-location shooting, but I thought Logan's Run did it to great effect

@@Greathall75 I tried to get be in as many scenes as I could but they didn't make the cut, I was in a few crowd scenes. I just bought the Blu-ray of Logan's Run and I'm gonna try to spot myself on my 55 in Big Screen hopefully in a couple large crown scenes. Oh, you know when Peter Ustinov is first being seen by all the young people and the blond girl touches his face, I'm literally standing next to the camera man when he shoots this scene in the Water Gardens. I got to hang out with the crew that whole night, I wasn't working as an extra that night but what I experienced was even better!

[@gowithdoug]

1:44:00 scene of the feature film.

[@myleftthumb2294]

So how did they edit the background out without having any green or blue screen set up? This was years before CGI.

[@Hibernicus1968]

It's called a matte painting. An artist paints the fictional backdrop on a pane of glass, and it's optically composited with the live-action footage. They've been doing that since the silent film era, and it's still done today for some shots.

[@myleftthumb2294]

@@Hibernicus1968 Yeah, but how to they get the actors in the foreground and the matte between them and the real background?

[@Hibernicus1968]

@@myleftthumb2294 I'm sure there is something on the internet that would explain it. I don't know the details of _how_ it is done, only that it is, and this scene is an example of it.

Show in Downtown Dallas, TX. Notice the people on their lunch hour. I would have thought they would have shot it on a Sunday? This looks like in the middle of a work day.

[@hreodbeort7947]

There would probably be more people on a weekend.

[@Oddball5.0]

It’s Fort Worth, not Dallas.

[@scvandy3129]

With the matte painting(s), glass plate(s) in front of the lens and other optical maneuvers by the director of photography and post production departmentlk that place the performers in this fictitious place, the number of people observing there is irrelevant. So, no need to blow all that money shooting on a Sunday and its higher, weekend pay rates. Once again, "Thank You, 'Great Hall 75.'"

[@robertwalsh5461]

Such an underrated film. Today’s Hollywood wouldn’t be able to even equal it, unless they had a very special writer…someone who is completely unique. They know he exists! He made them $tens of billions for f*^k sake! Are they capable of getting him to work again after the way they f^*ked him over? Would their making $500 million compute if they had to pay him $100 million and respect due?

Ever wonder why the concrete was so clean? hundreds of years would have stained it you would think

[@Armis71]

If you see it now, there are stains everywhere as you have imagined. They have modified the center pool which was deep and had a big pump that circulates the water. In 2004, four people (3 kids and an adult) drowned in that pool where Logan and Jessica dove in. A little girl 8 years old fell in, her father and 13 year old brother jumped in to try to save her. Another girl age 11 tried to grab and help and she fell in also. All four of them drowned due to the strong current.
