Two Words: Highlander. Remake.

Since I started writing for Screen Rant I have no idea how many movie remake stories I’ve covered, but every week seems to bring a new one. This week: Highlander.

If you don’t know, Highlander tells the tale of a 16th Century Scotsman - a highlander who happens to be immortal. He and other “immortals” fight through the ages in order to win “The Prize.” The only way that they can die is to be decapitated. Ouch!

The cast included Frenchman Christopher Lambert as the titular Highlander - Connor Macleod, Scotsman Sean Connery as a Spaniard and American Clancy Brown as the Germanic Kurgan.

It’s an outstanding movie… if a tad dated. It was released in 1986 and the soundtrack was composed by the band Queen.

The tag-line for the movie was: “There can be only one.”

We have now had four sequels, two television series, an animated series and now here comes a remake…
