Highlander

He was good for the role and mood of the film IMO, same as Arnold is good in many of his roles despite not being a great thespian of the screen. Seems Connor was seeking to be "the one" primarily out of a sense of duty--keeping Kurgan from winning the "prize," and perhaps knowing he was the only one who could achieve that goal. A man driven by the burden of that duty despite the fact that he didn't particularly enjoy life makes for good drama IMO.

That's a great point. He always seen Immortality as a curse and the Kurgan looked at it as a blessing since he could torture and kill for all eternity. Makes me wonder what the Prize would of been if he had won. I wonder if it differs from person to person.

Yea same goes for the TV & Cartoon series.

Highlander was never meant to have a sequel, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just a franchise that has been so royal ****ed up and cannot even come close to the original with it's sequels.

God the cartoon series

My 1st pick would be this guy to play The Highlander and he is from Scotland, He did 300 as King Leonidas convincingly



Gerard Butler

 

[Snake Plissken]

I wouldn't mind that, I mean he is from there so it would only be natural. It's a shame his career didn't really pick up after 300.

 

[Colossus]

In his defense there are some notable mentions not in any order Timeline, Laura Croft/Cradle of Life, Law Abiding Citizen, these are the ones off the top of my head but most of all 300

Well, aint Kurgan gonna be dissapointed if he found out what the Prize actually is...

Becoming a mortal again and being able to have children.

Vinnie Jones was speculated to be the Kurgan in the remake, I don't know whatever came of that. That's an interesting choice, he's a good character actor.

Googled him, he has those cold look rather than those wild look the original Kurgan has.

Remember you don't need a baldy to be a Kurgan.

Well that was part of the plot to make him bald. Hair doesn't matter with the character as long as he conveys the intimidating unstoppable menace Clancy Brown portrayed.

yea but from the looks they are casting Kurgan based on who looks good bald.

We all know the wild & intimidating Kurgan shouldn't be some bad@ss that looks cold & calm.

I don't know why they insist on sticking with Macleod & Kurgan. They could have created new characters instead of a reboot.

Anything that hasn't had the same formula of the first film has been a complete and utter failure.

My choice for the Kurgen; Ray Stevenson

 

[Snake Plissken]

He was great in Warzone and Dexter.

 

[karamazov80]

I'm actually getting more of a Connor vibe here.

Agreed and he also played Flagstaff in Thor

I'm actually getting more of a Connor vibe here.

Now that you mention it, I could see that

 

[karamazov80]

Of course, Kurgan should be played by Fassbender.

AH! I had not thought of him, I was going for Big and Tall, that said Fassbender could pull it off

 

[karamazov80]

Fassbender should play everyone.
