Synopsis
Russell Mulcahy's original saga of immortal Scotsman Connor Macleod, one of a race of immortals who can only be killed when beheaded with a sword. After living in peace for four centuries, he is challenged by an old enemy named Kurgan. During a fierce sword battle in the 1500s, Connor MacLeod, a simple Scotsman known as a poor fighter, is mortally wounded -- but he does not die. MacLeod learns from the mysterious Ramirez that he is of a race of immortals. These rare knights never age and never reproduce, they can only meet death by the blade of another of their kind. Leaping back and forth through the centuries, MacLeod once again meets the evil Kurgan who nearly killed him 500 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic movie, 31 Dec 2007
By LXIX (scotland) - See all my reviews
Highlander is a classic tale of an ordinary Highland warrior with superhuman powers who gets caught up in a supernatural battle spanning centuries.

The Kurgan is a great villain and Sean Connery also puts in a fine performance (ironically not as a Scotsman, but as a swashbuckling Spaniard).

Set in rural Scotland and modern day New York, Highlander is just great science fiction. Sadly, the follow ups didn't quite match the high standards of this original.

The film also has great musical moments from Queen.

4.0 out of 5 stars In the end, this is the only one worth watching..., 9 Jun 2007
Highlander hasn't aged particularly well, but it's story and themes stand up pretty well after 20 years.

It does suffer from some low budget special effects and questionable acting, but if you can set that aside, it's a very enjoyable fantasy movie.

Christopher Lambert is an American born Frenchman, and it's easy to tell that he's not comfortable speaking English, especially with a Scottish accent.

The strongest parts are the flashbacks to the Scottish highlands and Connor's meeting with Ramiraz and the Kurgan.

This is a movie that would benefit from a remake.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highlander I'm Conner Mac Cloud of the Clan Mac Cloud, 3 Feb 2007
HIGHLANDER


Highlander a unique film . A Highland warrior Connor Mac Cloud of the Clan Mac Cloud who cannot die. Highly evocative the Scottish scenes. Of camaraderie before going into battle, and the ironic cold banishment of Connor by his same kinsmen; after being mortally wounded in battle. Who cannot believe Connor surviving the wound. A Clansman saves him from a brutal beating, "Can you walk Connor". - "Aye I can bloody well walk out of here!-I will not forget thee", Connor utters to Angus, as he saves him from being burned. Then into modern day conflict battles, but now one on one till the end can only be one.
Inside this film is a gem! I wonder if the writer or the director at the time new; they would be creating a scene so powerful - and moving. That even Stanley Kubic and Shakespeare could not have bettered . A scene so moving that will probably never be surpassed. Of Conner's and Heather's love and farewell in death to heather his blossom. Conner's call to heather - their life and love together, then near her death. Words that are spoken poignant and deeply moving. The scene starts to the unique vocal range of Freddie Mercury and the queen track "who wants to live forever". Penned by Brian May after seeing a rough cut of the film. If you not moved by this then your heart is of granite.

What a film - makes me want to buy a great Claymore Sword and swing it about.

Moving fantastic Stuff

1.0 out of 5 stars "There can only be one"
"There can only be one." And that is one too many in my opinion. This dated movie was a major hit in 1986 for some bizarre reason. Read more

I remember going to see "Highlander" when it came out (1986 ?). It was, and is, enjoyable nonsense - good sword fight scenes, with little more than pop videos and tedious padding... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Top sci-fi
This is the type of movie you can't help but enjoy. It's daft but a great spectacle, plus it has Sean Connery, good one liners and the action rocks. What more can you want?
