Everything Wrong With Highlander In 16 Minutes Or Less

[@NoneOfYerBidniz]

Actually, using a coat / cloak as an off-hand parrying weapon is a historically accurate fencing technique. The idea is to trap your opponents blade long enough to stab him with yours. Ironically that may be the most accurate part of the first fight.

[@Realkeepa]

an coat was made like a blanket.... to dish,to poo,to....you know....likea towel but the fight point is real too

[@Olkv3D]

You are completely correct. A walking stick is used. - An walking stick is a prized piece of one's bag

You can also wrap a piece of your plaid around your off hand arm to parry...

[@martinwakefield8138]

Thank you. However, if these guys were so hopelessly ignorant, the channel would die

[@ibeenthere]

A little clarification about the rules (according to the first movie at least): The immortal powers start after your first death. That is why the villain stabbed him in the belly, to awaken his powers thus allowing him to try and take it afterward via decapitation. That is also why the first belly stab was painful, he wasn't an immortal yet. Also, stabs will still hurt. They'd just heal faster but not Wolverine fast. Also also, since the immortality starts from the first death, that is why Sean Connery is older than Connor. He died the first time at an older "age" (see what I did there?).

1:17 Actually, the sword and cloak technique is a fencing style detailed in Ragione di adoprar sicuramente l'Arme written by Italian fencing master Giacomo di Grassi in 1570. It was used to protect the off hand, to distract the opponent, and to bind his blade. It also matches the style of rapier the actor was using, so it was likely a deliberate choice. Of course none of that makes this sword fight any less ridiculous so you go ahead and sin that fight. Sin the ever living crap out of it.

Had Ramirez pushed his attack after he nearly cut off Kergan's head it would have been an easy win, and a short movie. Plus, Ramirez had the high ground. The only reason he lost was because it was necessary to move the story forward...lazy writing.

@3:21 Question: The Kurgan knows the only way to kill an immoral is to chop off his head. So why is he wasting so much time with this stab?

Answer: In this scene, they were both inside the church. There is a rule that immortals are forbidden to fight in a holy ground since this serves as a sanctuary.

[@ukmediawarrior]

According to the rules of the Game you can't ambush someone, you have to declare yourself to them before the fight. Only really, REALLY evil immortals that we see in the TV show ever try to behead someone from hiding. And holding the coat is a classic defence when in a sword or knife fight. Coat, cape, scarf, anything that you could use to absorb a blow or tangle up the sword hand so you get a free attack. As for the age of Ramirez, you become immortal when you suffer a sudden death, like being shot, stabbed, run over or whatever. You could, technically, be able to become immortal but still die of old age if you never suffer such an incident.

[@Rob_Thorsman]

According to Endgame it requires "the shock of a violent death," which basically means someone has to murder you.

Requiem for a Dream!!!! That film messed me up. Love it.

[@joenesvick7043]

Great film, I didn’t like the sequels at all. Christopher Lambert did Highlander sequels, but he wouldn’t even do that Mortal Combat sequel. When a guy who does bad sequels won’t do a bad sequel, it must be really bad Left out Connor shooting a Nazi. I imagine that’ll take a sin or two off. If that got a sin, well I did Nazi that coming. “Whatever you say Jack, you’re the master race.”

[@alanmoss3603]

One of my favorite scenes in any movie, ever!

[@Shiirow]

it didnt need sequels, it was a self contained story but the power of money is stronger than the need to leave things alone.

[@JustAskMeTV101]

That Nazi scene isn't even in some editions

[@mapesdhs597]

Btw, watch closely the scene where Connor gets kicked out of the village, the villager extras really are kicking him up the arse; friend of mine knew one of the extras, Lambert apparently turned up late for shooting, kept them waiting for hours (he was by all accounts a bit of an arrogant prick, whereas Connery hung out with the extras and chatted, etc.) The director said make it look like they meant it, so they... did. :)

[@dzrbbooks2086]

I'm pretty sure the crappy Highlander sequels is why he suddenly decided doing sequels was a bad idea. He'd already done 2 and 3 by the time MK came out.

Such a guilty pleasure film, absolutely terrible but ya gotta love it. Clancy Brown did a terrific job playing a completely off-the-rails maniac. Hahaha at calling Clancy "Hadley" at 3:38 too - He was incredible in Shawshank as well.

Highlander did nothing wrong

[@tessabakker662]

There was a whole lot wrong... But it was a fun time, and that's what counts. Not every franchise needs to be deep! We need completely bat-shit films too! I'd rather watch this than any of Disney's "Realistic re-makes", even if I can't bring myself to give half a shit about Macleod. Go Kurgan!

[@carpenoctem234]

First: I want Highlander 2 to break the Sin meter. Second: you should Sin Frailty

that "Hold it right there! Come back here!" from the helicopter cops made me laugh harder than it should've. It just embodies everything wrong with movie cops. Who has actually heard "come back here" and went 'well, crap, I guess we're caught. Better stop and wait for them to catch up'.

I disagree. THIS is the kind of movie that SHOULD be rebooted. Awesome premise, shit special effects and questionable casting. Give it a decent budget and a Scottish actor and reboot the shit out of it. (Only please change the highlander to a black, non-binary little person with autism. K thx.)

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

You do know horses can go on boats right?

[@mr.hitchens]

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 I fear you've missed the point. Mr Connery said it was almost impossible to say the line without laughing. If you look you can see he is. Ridden from denotes riding. This is not the same as saying "I've just ridden from spain" which is of course impossible. Saying "I've just traveled from spain" would naturally include a boat and would have made sense as you obviously cannot ride a horse across the English channel. I suppose you could ride it through the eurotunnel, although I'm not sure the timeliness fits. Anyway, its a silly fun film and it has a Queen soundtrack, so it's a fun through back to better times. Pleasure chatting with you 98th, must ride off now...... tally ho.
