I found the film kinda weird, the sword fighting looked kinda lame...but the film was fun to watch, just out of the blue!
who else has watched this movie? what do you think about it?
The sword fights look especially lame after we've all seen the lightsaber fights on the Star Wars prequels.
However, I have to say that I always found particularly touching how McLeod had to live as an immortal and see his wife get old and die.
That scene where 'Who Wants To Live Forever' is played almost got me into tears, especially after watching the scene where McLeod is on his wife's deathbed and he promises that he will always light up a candle on her birthday.
Then when I watched the video for 'Who Wants To Live Forever' I found it very meaningful to see hundreds of candles. Before then, I thought they were only there to make the video look "prettier".

Wow, I never caught onto that. Somebody has to watch Highlander again. I'll put it on my to do list. That's actually pretty cool.

My 60 year old aunt LOVES THAT SHOW...as a kid I always heard the theme music, but never knew it was Queen...I seriously only found out about a year ago!
humming to myself:
Here we are...
born to be kings...

i got mine free with the paper (cnt remember which) a few months ago, lol.
I must confess, even as a youngen, I watched the T.V. series, however, it wasn't terrible...
We watched the movie recently on the bus at 6 in the morining. We were heading to a fencing tournament, so the coach felt it proper. Everyone was asleep except the coach and I, but they'd wake to the occasional screams, thus the confusion. It was pretty funny though, good memories...
Apparently it is going to be a new trilogy:
This new adventure to be, starring Adrian Paul is the first feature in the Trilogy. The Source will tell the story of Immortals as they quest to locate the Holy Grail of their world. The entire series of films will chronicle the origins of the Immortals.
Director Brett Leonard commented "This is a tremendous opportunity for a storyteller of this genre to take part in the mythology of 20 years." He continues that "Highlander is an amazing ongoing story that I can bring my visual style to... Everything I have done has led me to this kind of mythical fantasy."
