This thread is for discussing the Highlander movies and television series.
There can be only one!

Stout said:TV shows? Sequels? Um, NO! The Highlander was one of the all-time great sci-fi/fantasy classics, and will remain as such. Everything else is wasteful fluff, at best.
SunCardfan said:Hey what's wrong with Highlander?! Ever watch the television series?! and no not with the fake blond hair chick...Raven I think it was even though her hair wasn't black anymore I think she was a miss universe or something like that..really hot when she was younger with long hair...great rack...
SunCardfan said:I thought Raven was ok but I liked the original highlander tv series better.. I thought it had a certain sophistication to it that the movies lacked.. I know that's silly to say that any of it has that but..that's how I felt.
WaywardFan said:The series was great until the storyline where Duncan killed Ritchie off (an unforgiveable offense). It went downhill from there and Duncan became so self-righteous and dull. It was pretty intolerable after that.
But, the series gave many great things! Amanda, Hugh Fitzcairn, the Four Horsemen and Methos!
SunCardfan said:I kind of liked that, and it wasn't his fault it was..what's his name, arimis? can't remember..that god
SunCardfan said:There were a lot of discrepencies in the shows though..even how Duncan got his sword I think had two stories
...also where did they put their swords? They weren't always wearing big jackets..
and how did they keep their existance secret for so long?
They even had a ******** guy as an immortal and they know nothing about being immortal when they first become that way?
Also they only become immortal when they die...
Why are most of them in their 20's through 40's then?
It didn't seem that way..especially with Methos who was so out of practice he was just going to give Duncan his head..even though he had killed more than anyone..
Wouldn't the young ones just get killed off then?!?!?! etc...etc...etc...etc...etc..!!!! Love the story but it should have been a little more "tight" I think...
Yeah Conner gave him a sword when Conner pass the torch to him. Highlander is one of my fav shows.SunCardfan said:As for the sword... I think Conner gave him one in the beginning too beside that oriental guy..or maybe it was another story. I'm almost sure he got it two different ways though.. Just have no memory..it was a looong time ago when I watched that series..think I saw them all though
I LOVED THE HIGHLANDER TV SHOW!!!!!!!!!! I totally agree that it went downhill after Duncan killed Richie. This series was the first sci-fi thing that I ever liked! It was just the beginning! Aaahhhhhh, Duncan McLeod!!!!WaywardFan said:The series was great until the storyline where Duncan killed Ritchie off (an unforgiveable offense).

In anticipation of the 2010 remake, I just watched the original. Decent flick I guess. Pretty cheesy, but that's to be expected from an '86 fantasy movie.
Loved the line "tonight you sleep in hell!"
I also enjoy seeing the product placement in these old films. I hadn't seen the old version of Nacho Cheese Doritos in a looong time.
Old version of Nacho Cheese Doritos? Vastly superior to the current, over-cheesed Doritos. We need the original chips back, daggonit!
you are over-cheesed.Wow, there is soooo much wrong with this post! lol
2010 remake? Um, ******** idea!
Only decent? Blasphemy! (cheesy, yes. classic and brilliant, yes).
