Discuss and post anything you like about the film Highlander such as favourite Characters; scenes or you may dislike this film.

Here's some basic information about the film:

Quote:
Directed by Russell Mulcahy; Story by Gregory Widen. Starring Christopher Lambert ; Sean Connery; Clancy Brown;Roxanne Hart

Connor Macleod was born in 1518 in the Highlands of Scotland. In 1536, after facing a mysterious, evil opponent, he survives a fatal stab wound and is banished from his village, for they believe his survival is the work of the Devil. Five years later, Macleod is met by Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, a swordsman who teaches Macleod the awful truth; he is immortal, one of a race of many who can only die when the head is cut from the body.

When one immortal takes the head of another, the loser's power is absorbed into the winner. Ramirez teaches Macleod the ways of the sword, until Ramirez is tragically killed by Connor's ultimate opponent, the evil Kurgan, a murderous immortal brute who lusts for the ultimate power of the immortals, "The Prize"; enough power to rule the earth forever. Connor fights his way through the centuries, until the time of the Gathering, when the few immortals who have survived the endless battles come together to fight until only one remains, and that winner will receive The Prize. The time: 1985. The place: New York City. The final fight is about to begin, and in the end, there can be only one.

Also one of my all time favourite movie, the best in the film series in my opinion and the music soundtrack by Queen is great mate!.

Yeah I remember this film it was awhile ago, can still hear the Queen song 'Princes of the Universe' bloody good song.

I thought Sean Connery was fantastic in this film, it was a shame he was killed off in this film. Was there a TV Series of Highlander?


Original 7 single which I have in my record collection - Go Queen!

Yeah love the Queen Soundtrack to this film and 'Princess of the Universe' is the best!. There was a TV series of Highlander based on events from the first film about 6 series and a spinoff TV Series.

I'll probably make a post thread for the TV Series in the Paradsie TV thread. I thought that Sean Connery was marvellous in this film and the guy who played the bad guy.
