Comments on: KAMN Show #27: Highlander http://www.kickassmysticninjas.com/2007/03/05/kamn-show-27/ The Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas are here to bring you a new perspective on old school science fiction and fantasy.

I also agree with Wiz's comment. After all between WWII and the time of the movie we can imagine that all immortals have moved to the US for the big final battle and that there has been a lot of fighting in the last decades of Connor life. No so fun anymore to be an immortal. As for the prize, I always thought that the prize was becoming a mortal... Like "now you've won the right to live a normal life". Hello,

As for the prize, I always thought that the prize was becoming a mortal… Like “now you’ve won the right to live a normal life”.

One of his scathing comments was "If there is a far-off land where natives worship bad movies, this film must have a place of honor." I have never made it past the subway fight scene-the movie is just too heinous. The original film and the tv series, however, are both fun, escapist fare.

Still it was no where near the first movie. So, are we going to see Zardoz added to the potential future topic list? Dave & Brian,

By the way, there are two Highlander movies coming this year. Highlander: The Source and an animated movie called Highlander: Vengeance I loved the show, I particularly like Highlander, the first one I watched was Endgame.

Summer, the show was left in great hands. I agree with Wiz's comments on Connor. With the coming of the Gathering Connor is coming to a major turning point in his life. Either he will die or claim the prize. connor has lived a long time and the idea of dying probably isn't easy to accept and even if he does win he has no idea what it will mean. Another thing to remember is that the last few months probably haven't been easy. With every immortal on the planet grabbing his sword and hightailing it to New York he's taken quite a few head recently and the constant conflict is weighing heavily on him.

This is actually one of my favorite aspects of the movie, becuase I think it told of the arc of MacLeod's life. At first he's confused, and still learning about his immortality. Eventually, he's excited about it, and having fun exploring its potential. (one of my favorite lines: "I apologize for calling your wife a 'bloated warthog,' and I bid you good day!") Eventually, he's done playing, and he's just tired. Hey, David and Brian (and Summer and Joe, too!)-
