Sean Connery in "Zardoz". WTH?

Connery did ZARDOZ to pay the bills. He hit a post-007 slump and needed the work. IIRC his salary was $70k.

The movie with the giant flying head and you're worried about casting?

I suspect the film makers were less concerned with acting and more interested in getting Connery into that suspendered jock-strap costume.

Zardoz was one of the strangest films I have ever seen. Why Sean Connery ever took the part is a mystery to me, he must have had bills to pay.
