I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but this year also sees the 30th anniversary of Highlander, released on the 7th March 1986 (US).
I must admit to loving this movie. Great concept, great characters, great locations, great soundtrack by Queen. There are some truly bizarre things about it that shouldn't really work, like:
- A French guy playing a Scot
- The only Scottish star (Sean Connery) playing a Spanish prince
- Spanish prince has a Scottish accent
- The fact that the main character does not age, apparently with nobody noticing.
Still, you can think too hard about these things, and I still love it. However, I think its legacy has been weakened by the terrible sequels and mediocre TV series that followed. They should have left well alone!
There can (and should have been) only one!!
