Immortal people want to kill each other for some reason.
2.5/4 (Okay).
Most of the concept is just a lot of arbitrary "this is how this works because I said so." But I kind of like that sort of thing. The plot, though, of "these people need to kill each other, and then they do, the end," is just... why? Why is that all that happens in a two hour movie?

Yes, this is the film that captured my imagination for all time. Connor MacLeod, (Christopher Lambert) an immortal, who learns what that entails from his mentor, Juan Sanchez Via Lobos Ramirez, played by Sean Connery. Great scenery, great costumes (particularly Sean's), great story, and music by Queen done specifically for this film that has become classic in so many other films. Lots of questions, lots of layers of history. Life, love, war, and for how many generations? What would it be show more like to be an immortal? And who could play the canny wolflike, yet vulnerable Connor better than Christoph? show less
Oh, dear. Forget the planet Zeist, and only watch the Renegade version from the producers. Other than that large bobble, enjoyable and Sean is such a scene stealer!
There are two reasons to see this movie. Sean Connery- who makes a rather funny part as the hero's mentor, and Clancy Brown's villain. He plays the Kurgan with gleeful humour. Unfortunately, Lambert is a wooden and rather unsympatethic her. With one facial expression only. Then one can wonder why he plays a Scot, and the real Scot plays an Egyptian...
