"Highlander was a good movie ...." Starring a Swiss as a Scot and a Scot as a Spaniard?
And a battle scene featuring Clan MacLeod (whose seat is Dunvegan castle, on nearby Isle of Skye) on the front lawn of Eilean Donan castle, seat of Clan Mackenzie?
Ach, sgudal!

It always seemed very odd to me too, except that it made sense casting-wise.
Connery never would have worked as the naive young castoff. He is 007. Ramirez was a much better role for him, even though he is a Scot and he played a spanish egyptian.
Also, I always wondered if there was a strange reason for casting Lambert in this roll, which is that he actually resembles the actor Ian Charleson who played the Scot Eric Liddell 5 years previous in the movie Chariots of Fire.
Came here to say that but Lambert is French.
Some messed up casting all around.
…except for Clancy, who also lost his head to the Horseman in the tv series Sleepy Hollow.
Sometimes I suspect he was on that show as an inside joke.
