Trimming The Movie Fat

“There can be only one” ☝️

Ah, if only the producers of the original Highlander movie had followed these words of wisdom from the character of Connor MacLeod and not made any inferior sequels 🍿 🏴

Podcast hosts Stephen & Paul are big fans of the original Highlander movie (1986) having rented the video back in the eighties. Stephen seen its sequel (The Quickening) at the cinema in 1991 and gave up on the series after that. Paul has seen all five films.

The boys decided to rewatch and reassess the films to decide which they think are worthy of the Highlander name, and which should be cut from the franchise ✂️ So, popcorn in hand, the following were viewed:

- Highlander (1986)

- Highlander II The Quickening (1991)

- Highlander III The Sorcerer (1994)

- Highlander Endgame (2000)

- Highlander The Source (2007)

Is The Quickening as bad as Stephen remembers? Does Paul have a soft spot for any of the sequels? What does Stephen think of the films he’s not seen before?

So, listen out for discussions about plot holes, bad special FX, different versions, overacting, bad acting, missed opportunities, and how great the first film is 🎧

Also, we provide relevant movie information like box office grosses, critical and audience reception, budgets, facts and more.
