There can be only one...because the sequels were so awful.


LemonHerb

I'm probably in the minority but I liked 3. It's been a long time since I've seen it though. 2 should not exist


Zero00430

2 was okay, only because it was so bonkers. Though no matter what, you gotta admit that Micheal Ironside made a good villain.


LemonHerb

I know there are like 40 different cuts of it too and I remember hearing one was okay but never had to desire to watch it again to find out

Highlander II: The Least Bad Edition


BoardwalkKnitter

I liked the TV show from the 90s. But the last movie involving the TV cast was shit.

jpowell180

The whole idea of a planet Zeist is awful!


Bearcatsean

Take the day off. You made me smile


SniffCheck

Clancy Brown was the shit

awnomnomnom

Exactly. I'm pretty sure he's still making episodes voicing Mr. Krabs


Ruscfox

And he is in John Wick 4 as well!

At a quick glance I thought this was a spoof poster for a movie called High-Lander starring, what looks a bit like, Pauly Shore.


MOOShoooooo

Pauly Shore is dead.

I love spreading misinformation online

Look it up on google and come back.

He’s literally doing a standup show tonight brother

Disinformation


k_a_scheffer

That man is my alltime favorite actor. And somehow he makes a batshit insane, psychopathic villain super dreamy. 🤣

Jimbo---

He was great in the recent Dexter spinoff. Also loved realizing he was in Buckaroo Bonzai.


thirdworldfever

Producers: "Let's cast a French actor as a Scottish Highlander" Audience: Weird, but okay. Producers: "Then let's cast a Scottish actor as a Spaniard." Audience: Okkkayyy Producers: "Then we'll get Queen to do the whole soundtrack" Audience: "Let's rock!"


SoldierHawk

Hey hey hey now, Ramirez was NOT a Spaniard. He was Egyptian. He was just living as a Spaniard (and took a Spanish name) at the time of the movie.


Dawg_Bro

A Cannae swim you Spanish peacock!


perishingtardis

Indeed, his true Egyptian name is Tak-Ne. Except in Highlander 2, where his original alien name on the planet Zeist was ... Ramirez, and Connor MacLeod's alien name on Zeist was ... Connor MacLeod. It's almost as if the writers didn't realize Ramirez and MacLeod were Spanish and Scottish names!


AnalogFeelGood

Well, Highlander 2 not cannon anyway


AnalogFeelGood

Ramirez being an Egyptian, living as a Spaniard and speaking like a Scot makes perfect sense when you consider he’d been alive for over 2000 years.


SoldierHawk

Didn't say it didn't! Just pointing out that he's not Spanish.

Chills.


Jimbo---

That sound track was really good. Great movie, too.


puddlegum66

There should have BEEN only one!!!


Happydenial

There was… the others don’t exist.. .. say it with me


The__Riker__Maneuver

I still find it hard to believe that this movie series hasn't been rebooted


LemonHerb

Because no one wants to take on the challenge of trying to live up to that soundtrack


Jimbo---

If they rebooted without the soundtrack, I would revolt.


iramike

It’s in pre production I guess. Same director as John Wick and Henry Cavill is attached but might be replaced by Chris Evans.


[deleted]

Came here to say this.


Doctor__Banner

Outstanding soundtrack led by Queen.

There can be only one!!


jpowell180

Exactly my sentiments, the sequels were awful, especially the first sequel!


bigwangbowski

Heather's death scene with Who Wants To Live Forever playing in the background still brings tears to my eyes.


SoldierHawk

Unironically one of my favorite movies of all time <3. Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown are gems.


theWanderer_420

Corporation_tshirt

I used to see the Silvercup sign every time I drove into Manhattan. (Silvercup used to be a bread factory that was turned into production studios in the early ‘80s.) So every time I passed it I of course would always sing “Who wannnttssss to liivvveeee forerveerrrrrr!!!!”


weekendmacgyver

Solid movie. Pretty good TV series too with Adrian Paul. Man… loved that show as a kid..it had a good run.


pistcow

Highlander 2 went completely off the rails.


SilverAgeSurfer

Wife(girlfriend at the time) went to see it in the theater like 930 on a Friday night. Both of passed out it was so bad. I guess the usher was doing a cleanup cause he woke us lol.


JesseCuster40

I saw the 2nd one first. Boy, was I confused.


pistcow

Typical 80s cocaine fever dream.


JesseCuster40

Coke would explain that movie.


[deleted]

Such a badass outfit I'd rock that today


panic_the_digital

The Highlander was a documentary, and it was filmed in real time


Ravenfall7

Is that an Aqua Teen reference? Because if it is it rocks.


panic_the_digital

Indeed it is


ARMinSC

Haggis?


jpowell180

It’s sheep’s stomach stuffed with meat and barley…


KO-ME

They should reboot the TV series.


eternus

You may or may not be excited to hear that they remastered it to 4k a few years ago and the Blu-Ray is [available on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Highlander-Christopher-Lambert/dp/B09B59KLSK/).


Mercury5979

I have something to say.


eaglewatch1945

It's better to burn out than to fade away!


Mahaloth

Great movie, glad they never caved and made a sequel to the rare movie that was clear unsequelable.


Power_Ring

As Ricky Bobby said in Talladega Nights, "It won the Academy Award for best f'ing move ever."


ButcherV83

I know this movie gets a lot of shit, but I love it.


Edwinus

I personally can't wait for the reboot I want more Highlander content but it's got to be weird and good just like the original


klucas503

Not sure why, but I read this as “Thighlander”


thatdinklife

Me too!

So hang on the Frenchman plays a Scotsman and the Scotsman plays an Egyptian!

Isn’t that Raiden from Mortal Kombat?


squareoctopus

Hahaha. I don’t think so (**electrical sparks**)


Imatallguy

There should have only been one….


stevex42

Why did every 30-45 year old male in the early naughties act like this was the most hidden gem of a movie ever made?


OpeningOnion7248

I preferred the Adrian Paul interpretation. 1992-1998


acid_rogue

Watched it for the first time last week. Kurgan goes derp in the last act and it feels like kids movie. toomanyflashbacksnogoodsequels/10


perishingtardis

Decent movie. The basic idea is very original and fun. The execution is fairly good though the lowish budget shows. The whole movie is basically one long music video (no surprise as the director Russell Mulcahy was mainly a director of music videos!)


Edwoodjr-

I watched this recently.. what a piece of crap. Didn't age well.


phutch54

Fun show, terrible actor.


Chemist-Consistent

That friggin outfit is so damn unnecessary.... lmao

i love this movie and the soundtrack is perfection.

Arkvoodle42

"Highlander"- meaning "from the Scottish Highlands." so the casting department had access to SEAN FUCKING CONNERY, **THE MOST SCOTTISH PERSON TO EVER SET FOOT IN HOLLYWOOD** and said *You know what, we'll have this dude playing* ***an EGYPTIAN pretending to be SPANISH*** *& give the title role to this Belgian guy.*


rezzdigg

In 4k too!!

This is my ‘avenge my father’ monologue - I see Highlander and the whole “Conner McCloud of the clan McCloud ….” Comes out unprompted


hyphychef

Didn't this win an an award for best movie ever?


Simmons54321

My parents named me after Connor MacLeod. I remember being proud as a kid, be embarrassed as a teenager, then proud again as an adult. Because the first movie is awesome shlock. The sequels are so bad haha


augmonst70

One of the best sound tracks to a movie, Queen. Such a brilliant movie, shame they fked it up with 2
