What did the Kurgan do for a thousand years before he found MacLeod?
Sheev-posting
>>62703265
killed other immortals and stuff.
or hid a cave and focused his immortal powers. Seriously, they just came up with shit as they went along.
>>62703265
I think he raped and pillaged

he was a prison guard
Killed undersea immortals.
>>62703819
it's funny because he voices mr krabs
>>62703867
pretty sure he roadied for BOC in 78
Why didn't he wear some kind of collar to protect his neck?
>>62704042
You. I like you.
Chain smoking
>>62704042
HE WAS JUST TOO RAD A DUDE
YOU GOT A PROBLEM?
>>62704341
>You. I like you.
Well I hate you.
>McLeod, did I ever tell you about the time I raped your wife so hard that she ended up committing suicide just because she couldn't forget about how great it was? She was a good friend.
he was on the island for a lot longer than anyone realizes
Keeping Earth safe from the bugs.
>>62703265
The next mad max is "Mad Max: Res Default"
Where did the Immortals come from? Are they born?
He was fighting off aliens on another planet.
he went to juvenile prison for a couple years with sean penn
Keeping Korok out of this dimension.
>>62704712
That movie was pretty good.
>>62704639
literally actually the plot of highlander 2.
>>62704792
What film?
>>62704622
>not knowing the canon
From Zeist, the Immortal homeworld of course
>>62704851John dies at the end
>>62704042
the immortals are strong enough that no material could really make much of a difference.
>>62704801
It really was. But watch it again, at least the final fight scene, when everyone is huddling over Penn and Morales watching the fight, you can see a camera in between some inmates it's pretty funny they let such a fuck up go in an otherwise good movie.
>>62704851
John Dies at the End
>>62704851
John Dies at the End. I'd suggest checking it out.
The book is surprisingly great too.
>>62703265
Put out music that was real heavy. Heavy as a very heavy thing.
Then he started the Devin Townsend project.
>>62704905
>>62704933
>>62704940
Thanks lads.
>>62703265
What kind of hairline is that?
>>62704929
kek, I gotta keep that in mind. I just watched it a few months ago, though, so it'll need some time.
I liked how Penn didn't have a complete "I'm a gigantic asshole" face yet.
>>62705012
Cro Magnon
>>62703265
Fought dogs in pits for sport
killed other immortals
joyriding in cars, listening to Queen
learned some sweet zweihand sword moves
>>62703265
did heroine. everyday.
>>62705018
>I liked how Penn didn't have a complete "I'm a gigantic asshole" face yet.
Yeah I can only stand him in this and Fast Times'. For those who've did time in juvey everyone says this was a very accurate portrayal of juvenile detention/prison.
>>62705018
>I WENT TO IRAQ YOU KNOW!!
Why pin your neck shut?
Do Immortals not heal?
>>62705243
its looked cool. its fucking kurgan the destroyer for fuck sake.
>>62705180
I can't even imagine being in a place like this. Together with all that degenerated bottom of the filth of society.
I can't stand Penn's face either. His whole presence just begs to be punched.
>>62705208
Is that what he tells people when they criticize him?
>>62705284
Why don't immortals just wear gorgets?
>>62705362
because and this is canon mind you, they use magic to actually strike them down thats why the blade shatter on holy ground. the blade is really just a manifestation of thier will to cut the head off. so no metal or anything could stop the will of the user.
its like poetry.
>>62705243
The hot glue gun was broken.
>>62705406
>the blade is really just a manifestation of thier will to cut the head off
Just like Bleach
>>62705441
basically....its a kind of magic
>>62705478
>>62703265
Rape, arson, murder and rape.
>>62704535
His scottfu died of old age, obiwanfag.
>>62703265
presumably removing Slavs, Bulgars, Tartars, Mongols etc in eastern europe as well as killing tons of other immortals
>>62705622
KEK
>>62705406
But anon, what about Kell and the Guardian?
The former killed on holy ground and the latter used neck armour
The Kurgan always struck me as someone who would enjoy his immortality and just fuck around with mortals for eternity. I mean, what the Prize is is very vague but I assume becoming mortal is a part of it.
>>62705871
I thought the prize was having some general from an alien planet come to Earth and make you immortal again so you can decapitate more people.
>>62705871
the prize is basically you become GOD and then you can do anything
McLeod was so bad he chose to live a mortal life and die like everyone else because obviously thats what God would do.
>>62705716
>Sarmatian warrior
>played by an Anglo-American
baka desu senpai, they should have found one of the brilliant and handsome Armenian or Iranian actors out there

Highlander plot:
>The Prize for the Immortals is to be able to die
>to get The Prize, the other Immortals must die
wait... what?
>>62705827
>But anon, what about Kell and the Guardian?
>>62703265
He probably fucked around and abused the shit out of his Immortality. The car scene makes it pretty clear that he gets off on it.
Pre industrial age, he probably dared people to jump off cliffs after him
>>62704905
>YFW John didn't die at all
>>62705555
>quads
Also, iz dat sum cheddarbeanz??
He was too busy pounding Candy's ass.
>>62706243
>Candy's ass
She didn't have an ass
>>62703265
Killed immortals, raped, pillaged, joined different crazy fucking fights, fed kids to dogs for fun. All kinds of shit.
>>62704887
Of all the canon to destroy, JJ chose EU and not Highlander 2. Literally every other Highlander medium that followed retconned the whole Zeist bullshit.
EU still deserved to die, but goddamn.
>Watch one of the Spin-off sequels.
>Antagonist wears a giant neck guard that deflects blades.
>Throws it away after one fight.
>>62703265
Raped, pillaged, got a big ass sword somewhere. Yknow, the basics.
>>62705362
Kind of a depressing thought that they don't. Like they all kind of want to die.
Keeping immortals sterile was a brilliant move, actually. If they could have kids, they'd at least get to watch their family tree grow over the centuries. They don't even get that.
Clancy Brown is pretty based.
>>62707379
Where did he get a sword like that? I loved that it was sectioned off, at least aesthetically.
How useful would a sword like that even be, though? How likely would it be to fall apart?
>>62705018
>>62705180
I thought I was the only one who hated Sean Penn. Christ he's such a little shit. Only reason his career took off as well as it had was because he kissed DeNiro's ass until they were besties.
>>62707206
I'm almost tempted to watch it again, I think it's been about 20 years. The series was okay but the movies that followed ran the gamut from forgettable to, in this case, unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. It's interesting to hear the cast talk about it, especially Ironside. He doesn't lie about it beung just a paycheck and you actually get the feeling that he enjoyed being able to just go full retard with his character.
I've watched very, very few of the remakes and reboots of the past 15 years but I have a nervous excitement for this one. I just want a nice R-rated, violent as fuck action film without any shoe-horned PC nonsense or some bullshit stinger that leaves an otherwise stand alone story wide open(gotta do that in case this makes enough money to constitute a sequel right fuckers?)Cameos usually pull me out but pre deathbed Connery would be welcome in this case
>>62708091
He's totally senile, you don't want him in a movie. Does no one remember Sir Billie?
>>62708154
They wouldn't let him be that crazy. He had literally no restraint and was only involved because it was Scottish.
>>62708211
I guess you don't remember Sir Billie. He wasn't acting crazy, he was totally confused and disconnected. He is too senile to act anymore, let alone any kind of physical role.
>>62708154
>Sir Billi
Did I watch some bargain basement animation just because it had A-listers for voice talent? No I did not.
However, I suppose a Lambert or Adrian Paul cameo would be welcome if slightly less acceptable.
>>62709014
>he didn't watch youtube clips of Sir Billi for the memes

Ruled the underworld for a time
HERE WE ARE
>>62705871
chances are he just moved around from one warzone to another offering up his services to the highest bidder and killing any other immortals he came across.
Even with all the expanded movies and show bullshit over the years even other evil immortals had a good fear of him
>>62705243
>Do Immortals not heal?
Neck wounds do not, for some reason, no.
>>62709133
BOOORN TO BE KINGS
WE'RE THE PRINCES OF THE UNIIIIIVERSE
Why do Immortals bother forming friendships (like Ramirez and MacLeod or MacLeod and the black guy) when they know they'll have to kill each other one day? Why did Ramirez even train him instead of killing him?
why didn't all the immortals wear armor most of the time with titanium neck protection pieces?
>>62709896
you're dumb tbf
>>62709904
you dishonorable fool
>>62704962
>>62709896
They don't have to kill each other. The Game is not an spiritual-existential obsession, it's a tradition.
>>62710238
Whaaat?
There can be only one, they only exist to claim the prize, nobody sit on the fence
>>62710274
Connor and Ramirez left The Game for most of their lives. Only guys like The Kurgan spend all their centuries fighting and killing.
>>62709896
Fuck, what a top tier character
>>62709896
Why do people have kids when they know they'll just be a drain?
>>62710586
It usually doesn't come down to you and your kids trying to decapitate each other a century down the line
>>62710620
Ramirez didn't seem to care about The Game.
>>62709896
>Why do Immortals bother forming friendships (like Ramirez and MacLeod or MacLeod and the black guy) when they know they'll have to kill each other one day?
Because its nice to have someone to relate to when you want to talk to someone about the shit you've seen.
so... anyone else think this movie sucked?
the main character couldn't even speak English
>>62710835
because he wasn't English you Dingus
>>62711077
why would a scot sound like a frenchman?
>>62711139
why would someone from egypt sound like a scotsman?
>>62703265
I always wondered what appeal punk rock, or whatever that aesthetic is supposed to be, would have for an ancient warlord who basically invented violence. why would such a man, with his millennia of experience, acquired wisdom, and tens of thousands of heinous crimes adopt the aesthetic of a bunch of edgy 80s teenagers who thought they were sticking it to the man by doing drugs and listening to music?
>>62711152
Why would he use a Katana?
>>62711152
good point
shit movie
good OST tho
>>62711200
superior Japanese steel folded over 1000 times obviously
>>62711139
>>62711152
>>62711230
The idea is that because they constantly move from place to place their accents become a retarded mix of everything
>>62711286
that's still a really retarded reason to use someone that can't speak english in a movie meant for Americans and Brits
>>62711286
Except MacLeod had lived in scotland all his life up until his waifu died and still sounded like a retard
>>62704925
Then why didn't they break each other's swords every swing? Neck armor would have worked.
>>62711328
MacLeod was just an aspie
>>62710067
I bet he smells like farts, like all the time.
>>62709049
>watching shit YouTube clips of a shit cartoon so I can get the joke
What are you 12? At least most baneposters have actually seen the movie. Fuck off.
>>62710238
Is there some sort of source for this, like a clip from the movies or show and not some bullshit fanfuc or line in an interview with one of the writers?
I always assumed their ability to avoid each other was inverse to the number of immortals still alive. Like, if there were a lot of them it was easy to blend into the background and let them kill each other but as their numbers dwindled the sort of psychic subconscious compulsion or whatever to seek each other out would grow stronger and more irresistible as the number dwindled.
>>62704341
The reddit is real.
>>62711357
Immortals can be incapacitated by grievous head/torso injuries, they could just be run through and then the neck armor removed for the decap. It often happened that the "winning" blow in a fight would be a body shot that would leave the opponent on his knees gasping and bleeding, allowing for an easy clean neck finisher.
>>62703265
He jerked off, all day, every day.
>>62711196
He was being ironic.
>>62711196
>adop
He might have invented it as a way to pass time.
he was the usher
bonus points for also being russian
>>62706065
It's to die as in like get old and and die of causes other than your head being separated from the rest of your body.
He was also an abusive small town cop zombie.
>>62710238
>>62710274
>>62710323
Maybe they don't have to actively participate but Ramirez made it clear that someday they will have to fight. Macleod was definitely not at that arena to watch the wrestling, he was there because it was the Gathering and it was time to finish things by killing the other immortals. Since the Kurgan was still around he spent some time with his black buddy friend, but it was implied that they would fight if it was just the two of them left.
>>62706065
Connor got mortality because it was what he wanted. It wasn't just that he got to die, it was also that he got to have kids and grow old and die peacefully.
Also he got uber-science powers but that leads into Highlander 2 so lets not go there.
>>62713869
BUT HE GOT THE PRIZE DESPITE MARIO VAN PEEBLES AND 2 OTHER IMMORTALS BEING ALIVE IN A CAVE SOMEWHERE
>>62713109
he's canadian. he smells of bacon, beer and an average intelligence slightly higher than america's.
>>62711200
It was a gift from his japanese father in law, he expicitly says so when he tells Connor about the futility of loving a mortal.

>be chris brown
>beat rihanna
>everyone hates you
>be sean penn
>beat the shit out of madonna
>few remember
sean penn a shit.
So what exactly was the prize? Was it what the winner desired? If Kurgan won, he wouldn't have wanted to die and would have wanted unlimited power or something.
>>62706140
the last time he's going to end up taking soy sauce, he dies during the time traveling trip
i figured that was going to end up happening in the second book
>>62714437
It was what the winner desired. Ramirez said humanity would enter a dark age if the Kurgan won, so he probably would have become an evil god emperor.

I've only ever seen the first one. I know Highlander II is shit, but what about the others, are they worth watching at all?
>>62715871
Unless you like to ironically enjoy really terrible movies, then fuck no they're not worth watching at all. The Source is worse than The Quickening.
>>62715871
I liked 3, even if it's just a remake of 1.
>>62715871
Watch the anime, it's the only good Highlander anything after the first movie.
>>62709896
Ramirez wanted to train him to defeat the Kurgan. They would have to fight eventually, but better that they have as many chances as possible to kill that big faggot, because NO ONE wanted him to win and ruin the world.
>>62716011
Pretty fucking much.
>that nonfocus on the game itself
>those fucking fights the mains had throughout centuries
>that plane fight
>superior reason not to fight on holy ground
>that assassination attempt
The writer had great ideas and played with the immortality angle throughout. Fucking loved Search for Vengeance.
>>62715871
No no no no no. Highlander has become a joke because of it's increasingly awful movies. Eventually they became so shitty they could only be aired on Syfy.
What is the prize?
>>62716100
boipussy
Highlander: 8/10
The Quickening: 0/10
The Sorcerer: 3/10
Endgame: 2/10
The Source: 0/10
The Search for Vengeance: 6/10
>>62716100
Mortal + Omnipotence.
>>62716129
What about the TV series?
>>62716159
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIUS!!
DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
>>62716159
It's alright, I guess. 5/10
>>62716255
I'll check it out then, that's good enough for me honestly.
>>62715871
Spoony reviewed pretty much all of them, all of them basically shit, the third is pretty much just a remake of the first though
>>62716314
>Spoony
Who fucking cares
>>62716338
Dude's a highlander freak, same with a one Pat the NES punk, their The Source Review has so much like behind the scenes info in it
>>62716100
Basically whatever you want.
Connor wanted to be a normal human being who could have kids. Kurgan wanted a fourth Reich with himself in the forefront.
Basically the prize as a wish.
>>62716011
What about that weird French take on the Highlander with that cartoon?
>>62716392
>What about that weird French take on the Highlander
You know Highlander is based on a french comic right?
>>62716401
I do. I just remember watching this French cartoon on local TV and only later, when I grew up, I realized it was Highlander.
>>62705962
He used his power to become the smartest man on Earth and he built a giant solar shield around Earth
>>62709896
He was hedging his bets. He'd rather live, but he knew someone would have to kill the Kurgan is he didn't, and training more people and aiming them at the Kurgan made it more likely.
Besides, for all he knew he'd have a friend for centuries before he'd have to fight him.
