Episode 20: Highlander (Director's Cut)

Who wants to live forever? I think it was Woody Allen who said something like "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying." This time we set records again with how many of us there were. Joining me this time: Dave (our Highlander expert), Joe (our Highlander virgin), Jaime (our commentary virgin), Jen (quiet, but cute), Zo (the boundary breaker) and Mark (mumbly guy). Making quick cameos, we had Rhett and Regan. Freakin' love this movie. In my opinion "there can only be one" Highlander movie. Too good of a story to spread out over a half dozen other movies and TV shows.

So few people understand this movie that it needs a title card explaining what Sean Connery will eventually explain anyway.

This little girl actually made this tongue gesture to the greasy '80s wrestler.

Christopher Lambert. Is it Lambert or Lam-bear?

First rule of sword fighting. Don't ever hit the overhead steam pipe.

"Don't lose your head!" "Stay ahead of the game!" "Head-on, don't apply directly to the forehead!" Zo could go on and on.

The Rocky III training montage.

Introducing Beatie Edney as Heather, the movie's hot chick!

The production designer really loved bowls of apples.

Is your Highlander sense tingling? That's Venom right behind you!

Lambert is of course fighting Clancy Brown as The Kurgan. He's freakin' awesome. You realize he also played Kelvin in Lost? Yeah! Blows my mind.

The quickening in effect... the quickening sure hates glass.
