Triggerfinger

The Swords of Highlander...

I confess that I love this movie, even as hideously bad as it is in some ways.  The television series has much better swordwork, which makes complete sense when you understand that Adrian Paul (aka Duncan McLeod) is a martial artist with a 7-year series to learn the sword, while Christopher Lambert (aka Conner McLeod) had a few months and is reportedly blind as a bat without glasses.

Make sure you get the directors cut

There is a whole extra scene where you see how/when Conner meets his secretary (as a young girl) in WWII France.

Director's cut, schmecktor's cut...

I have every cut of the movie ever produced, including the ones that shouldn't exist ("There should have been only one"). In addition to the Rachel introduction scene, there's another Rachel scene added ("It's a kind of magic", extended), a great scene where the Kurgan stalks them in a zoo, and a number of smaller bits and pieces.

Yeah, it's an obsession. But I recognize it as unhealthy. ;)
