I was born there and came to the US in 1970. I'm glad my parents brought me here. The thought of being raised in Eurotrash land makes me sick.

The question was rhetorical.

One more German nut upset that "Highlander" is not carried by his local cable company.

I know people were killed...but the whole thing seems like a B-movie plot

I love those "Bliind Swordsman" movies.
The whole idea is of course ridiculous and the fighting is even more fake than B grade westerns. There is something about them tho which is intriguing. For one thing Ichi is a good character and they usually have just the right amount of humor.
