* BrainlessBeauty: Holly 13 can't remember events that happened ''just minutes ago'' even if said events were something as traumatic as seeing your doctor get sliced up by surgical lasers.
** Possibly justified, as Holly may have never experienced trauma before. Also, for many people, an especially traumatic event can be partially or completely blocked out by a person's mind to protect them from an event which is too much for them to emotionally or intellectually process.

* InsistentTerminology: Logan insists to Jessica that he doesn't kill people. No, he terminates Runners. Probably the Sandmen are trained to think of this way.

* InsistentTerminology: Logan insists to Jessica Logan, and other Sandmen, are so deeply indoctrinated that he doesn't kill people. No, he terminates Runners. Probably they insist they've never killed anyone in their lives. They ''terminate'' Runners, and it's so separated from the Sandmen are trained to think act of this way.killing in their minds that they make a sport of it.



* NoBodyLeftBehind: The victims of Carrousel explode in a shower of sparks, all the better to sell the illusion that they've been "renewed".

* TragicVillain: Poor Francis 7 thinks Logan is going through a hard time at first and tries to protect him from the rest of the Sandmen by not reporting him, offering to help Logan come back to the city. Unfortunately, it's conditional on Logan terminating Jessica as a Runner.

Multiple attempts to remake the film (and to adapt it more closely to the novel) from notable directors like Creator/BryanSinger and Creator/NicolasWindingRefn, have all been unsuccessful. In 2013, Warner Bros. hired ''VideoGame/BioShock'' lead designer [[http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/bioshock-creator-ken-levine-takes-on-logans-run-script-for-warner-bros/ Ken Levine]] to write the script for yet another try at a remake.

While the movie was successful for its time, and is often mentioned in the same breath as other classic, dystopian, late-1960's to pre-''Star Wars'' sci-fi films like ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'', ''Film/SoylentGreen'', and ''Film/SilentRunning'', it bears very little resemblance to its source material. A short-lived [[Series/LogansRun TV adaptation]] followed a year later.

There is life outside of the domes (although whether or not Runners could be able to survive there without knowledge of how to is a different question) and the Old Man is living proof that Renewal does not needs to be set in stone, but [[spoiler:every single one of the two-thousand-plus Runners that have searched for Sanctuary and were not killed by the Sandmen were annihilated by [[AIIsACrapshoot Box]] and turned into [[HumanResources feed]].]]

* BrokenSystemDogmatist: Logan 5 is an ardent supporter of the life-clock and Carrousel "renewal" system, which, unknown to him at first is actually a euthanization program to curb overpopulation within the domed city. Others who are non-believers and do not want to renew are branded "Runners", to be killed on-sight by the Sandmen. It isn't until Logan becomes one of them (his life-clock forced to age 30) that he realizes what is at stake here.
