and finally watched it for the first time.
It's a good watch. Really interesting mythology.
Christopher Lambert's accent is a bit annoying, since it's supposed to resemble a Scottish accent.
But other than that, the film is enjoyable.
I GREW UP LOVING THIS MOVIE...TO THIS DAY I WILL WATCH ANYTHING WITH LAMBERT...SHAME HE MAKES MOSTLY TURDS...EVERY 5 OR 10 YEARS I ATTEMPT TO ENJOY THE SECOND ONE...THUS FAR IT HASNT HAPPENED.🤔
sharei found out about one he made in 85 called subway the other day.
tried watching it, but its in french
But it will have English subtitles, so what's the problem?
It's a good little movie, one of Luc Bessons earlier movies. It has a nice, understated sense of humour, is beautifully shot and has a great score by Eric Serra.
Give it a chance.
Lambert's accent was meant to resemble a person who has a mixture of multiple accents over a long period of time, supposedly.
shareIt's explained in the blu ray BTS stuff. They wanted him for the role because they thought he was great in Greystoke... in which he virtually never spoke. By the time they found out he didn't speak English and would have to learn over like a weekend and then speak it through his bizarre French/Swiss accent, they didn't mind.
shareI agree, a good watch
shareIt’s from...lots of different places.
shareAmazing film !
shareNot only places... but times... wasn't MacLeod born like in the 1500s?
shareYeah I watched for the first time the other night and understand the following it has. I had no idea it had so many sequels even though I'm sure they do little justice for this one.
shareThe series was pretty good as long as you can overlook how it ignored the ending of this movie altogether.
shareHighlander II is horrible - less so in the "Renegade Edition" but it stays a polished turd.
Keep the first one in good memory, avoid all sequels.
It's such a shame because I really loved Adrian Paul as a Highlander. He had some awesome fight sequences because he's a legitimate martial artists and swordsman in real life, so there was always an authenticity to his fight scenes, which helps a ton in a series about immortal swordsmen who decapitate people to gain their power.
The problem is that Highlander: Endgame and Highlander: The Source are just outright awful movies, and it's impossible to enjoy them due to horrible writing and stories. Even Donnie Yen couldn't save Highlander: Endgame, and he obviously had the best fight scenes throughout the entire film.
At least Endgame still felt like a Highlander movie, The Source on the other hand.....ugh, I don't know what the hell that was.
