I really liked Highlander (1986) : movies

Wasn’t certain what to anticipate when first watching it since whereas it has an enormous cult fanbase there are additionally lots of people who say the movie is tacky and outdated, however depend me as a fan.

I like the way in which this film appears to be like within the metropolis scenes. Jogs my memory of Terminator 1

film was extra emotional than I anticipated. The “Who Needs to Reside Without end” scene and the demise of Connor’s spouse actually obtained to me. One thing concerning the coaching scene and the enjoyment Connor feels when he discovers his powers and the ultimate scene with the closing speech by Connery additionally simply nicely me up

The Queen songs are all the time talked concerning the rating by Michael Kamen does not get sufficient credit score. It is majestic and simply listening to it makes you’re feeling such as you’re occurring an epic journey ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49AySiJkiw0 ​ ​

additionally Christopher Lambert is not actually as unhealthy folks say IMO. He brings a pleasant naivete and nearly innocence to his previous self and appropriate depth and weariness to his current day character. Certain one other actor might need made Connor extra charismatic however Lambert is exclusive and makes the character is personal

Clancy Brown is only a standout. He’s all the time an actor that may make a film higher by simply his presence. He makes the Kurgan a memorable villain

the film undoubtedly has some unhealthy struggle choreography and plot holes relating to the Immortals. Little question about that. I put a few of that down extra to budgetary points although so I can forgive it

I do know a remake is coming and whereas that is undoubtedly not some masterpiece and even when there are issues they’ll undoubtedly enhance (higher lead actor, going deeper into the mythology, higher struggle choreography) it should simply lack a number of issues that make this film work (Sean Connery, Clancy Brown, Queen, Michael Kamen, the gritty 80s search for the town scenes and so forth). We’ll see I suppose ​
