The sword fights look especially lame after we've all seen the lightsaber fights on the Star Wars prequels.
However, I have to say that I always found particularly touching how McLeod had to live as an immortal and see his wife get old and die.
That scene where 'Who Wants To Live Forever' is played almost got me into tears, especially after watching the scene where McLeod is on his wife's deathbed and he promises that he will always light up a candle on her birthday.
Then when I watched the video for 'Who Wants To Live Forever' I found it very meaningful to see hundreds of candles. Before then, I thought they were only there to make the video look "prettier".

I saw it once on tv two, maybe three years ago. I liked it.

Wow, I never caught onto that. Somebody has to watch Highlander again. I'll put it on my to do list. That's actually pretty cool.

My 60 year old aunt LOVES THAT SHOW...as a kid I always heard the theme music, but never knew it was Queen...I seriously only found out about a year ago!
humming to myself:
Here we are...
born to be kings...
with the princes of the universe!!!

I like it, it was kinda confusing for the first 30 mins of the movie, then i catched up and i like it.
I love the first movie. The sequels and tv show suck though. I can't believe that they are going to make another 2 movies.....

Well...considering the two sequels were already a disaster, maybe another two movies is a good thing...some redeeming value, perhaps?
