Thorn EMI released Highlander to theaters on March 7, 1986. Russell Mulcahy directed the film starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown. Highlander Movie Summary The year is 1986, and the immortal Connor MacLeod fights another immortal, Iman Fasil in New York City. MacLeod slices his head off…the only way you can kill an immortal, so I guess they aren’t as immortal as advertised…especially since there can only be one. For some reason, cops show up, and MacLeod tries to flee. Also for some reason though, the cops are in full force, so the catch and arrest MacLeod…and you all thought that when you get caught between the moon and New York city the best that you can do is fall in love! We flash back to the 16th century where MacLeod is a Scottish Highlander. He and his clansmen will soon go to war, but MacLeod will be okay if you’re worried. We return to 1986 for some stereotypical cop douchebaggery before they release MacLeod, but Detective Brenda Wyatt, a metallurgy expert, recognizes Fasil’s sword as an extremely rare Toledo Salamanca broadsword. This peaks her interest. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Disclaimer This podcast is for entertainment and information purposes only.
