Ed Zorax of the Future City

About This Movie

So, 'Ed Zorax of the Future City' is this quirky blend of comedy and science fiction from 1979 that has its own charm. The whole vibe is a mix of absurdity and satire, with Zorax, the undercover agent, navigating a dystopian world while posing as a painter—pretty wild, right? The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to the film's offbeat humor. The practical effects, while not top-notch, have this vintage feel that really captures the spirit of the era. The performances are a bit campy, but in a way that makes it all the more enjoyable. It’s one of those films that you either get or you don’t, but if you appreciate the oddities of late 70s cinema, it’s definitely worth a look.

This film is somewhat of a rarity and has seen limited release formats over the years, mainly existing on VHS and a few obscure DVD runs. Collector interest tends to fluctuate, but its unique premise and distinctive aesthetic have garnered a niche following. If you enjoy obscure 70s sci-fi comedies, keeping an eye out for it in thrift stores or online may yield some interesting finds.
