You beat me by a minute - LOL
Clancy Brown stole the show as the Kurgan.
Highlander was a good movie although also very sad (and you have to pretend all the sequels don’t exist). The only uplifting parts of the movie for the protagonist, Connor, were when he met and fell in love with Heather, even though it’s rather depressing how he was banished from his clan’s village, also when he met Ramirez and learned he had a chance to survive, even though Ramirez dies soon after, and then you have to watch his love Heather grow old and die, and his tryst with Brenda, although the Kurgan is hunting him down. I suppose the ending was supposed to be a happy one when he won “the prize”, but all of the historical flashbacks were slightly mystical but very sullen and depressing, and all of the NewYork cuts were rock and roll (Queen soundtrack) and anxious.
I never saw the movie in ‘86 but got a chance to catch it in a campus theater years later during a reshowing. Everyone was cheering for the kurgan, and the theater was loud when he had his scenes.
Oh.... this thread was about actual Kurgans. Heh
“Of course they were….”
