New Highlander movie

[Desdichado]

What's in a name?

Oh right...letters.

Indeed. And I said that not as a big Highlander fan -- I never really watched the show, and I thought the movie was pretty cheesy but forgettable. I say that as a big Scottish fan with a fair amount of scottish heritage meself.

I beg to differ!

Here I go:

PLEASE PLEASE may I differ? Pretty please?

Or why not do the whole thing in chronological order with a whole bunch of immortals so you can't know for sure who's gonna win the end game.

They can even call it imMortal Kombat!

Okay seriously I only ever watched the series. From that vantage point I found the movies to be pukingly bad. They had a lot of inconsistency and dull stories. The historic flashbacks are indeed what really made the series fly. It gave a sense of epicness to their everyday struggles.

It can never be the same without Freddie Mercury and Queen, anyway.

Indeed, what cult sci-fi film of the 80s is worth anything without a Queen song?

Flash! Ah-ah!

I liked the first movie, disliked the second, thought the third was ok, and never saw the last one. Honestly, the first one the only one that was really worth anything. I doubt that this one will be any better, but I hope it will be. I always liked the Highlander series even though the continuity was totally messed up.

Not to mention Iron Eagle! Where would we be without a 16-year-old flying a fighter jet against trained MIG pilots to rescue his dad from a Middle East dictator?

I had forgotten Queen did a song in that movie. I typically just remember that Twisted Sister song, which was a remake anyway.

A song? *A* song? Queen did the entire soundtrack for Highlander- It's a Kind of Magic, One Year of Love, Princes of the Universe, Don't Lose Your Head, One Vision, Gimme the Prize, Who Wants to Live Forever... there might have been one or two non-Queen songs in the movie, but I don't recall any offhand.

[EDIT] This is why I should read the entire slew of new posts- you meant Queen had a song in Iron Eagle, not Highlander. D'oh!!!!

BTW, which Twisted Sister song is in Iron Eagle?
