Movie Review - Highlander

OK, I dug out my free DVD of this for a more in depth review. Conner is born in 1518, He "dies" in 1536, his 1st meeting with The Kurgan. During the battle Kurgan had ample time to cut off Conners head but he waited. Mind you, if he hadn't it would have been a real short movie. I'm a bit annoyed that Conner doesn't get read Miranda when the cops arrest him outside Maddison Square Gardens.

I spotted that Kurgan's sword is constructed of several segments, the way it was made would make it break very easily. It later goes on to cut through thick metal poles with no problem - Nice Goof! Conner meets Ramirez in 1541, I still don't get why neither tried to kill the other if "There can be only one"? Ramirez says he was born 2437 years ago. His sword was made in 593 BC. I never got why the female cop bothered with the tape recorder in the box, it would have picked up nothing in the room - Another Nice Goof! Why didn't the Kurgan steal the Vigilante's empty car? Plus he cut the roof off the car he stole but when he's next seen in that car it suddenly has a roof again - Another Nice Goof!

Big continuity boob when they are fighting on the roof top. One minute they are up to their waists in water (which came from a collapsed water tower) then they break a skylight and fall to the floor of the warehouse below. And zero water falls as they are falling to the ground of the warehouse. Surely there would a torrent flowing from the hole, pouring to the ground of the warehouse. Really Huge Goof! I also spotted Kurgans safety cable as he fell. How did the female cop get to the warehouse floor? She never fell with them and was trapped on the ledge, if she'd gone in the water she'd be electrocuted.

During The Quickening you can see Conner's support cable holding him. I also wondered why neither him or the female cop were cut by the millions of shards of razor sharp flying glass from the windows? So if there can be only one, why bother with a sequel? That is truly a good question.
