Review of High Spirits (1988) by Timone — 21 Aug 2018

''From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now.''

Say, remember that I told you about that I hate box office failures? Well, here I am going to tell you about the cult classic Highlander. Now the sword fights really sure reminds me of the King Arthur stories. Christopher Lambert really does fit for the role although he's French. The movie was filmed at Scotland and New York City. I actually thought from Christopher Lambert's character's past was filmed at Cornwall but it's not, it's actually filmed in Scotland. The first fight scene where Macleod fights the immortal, that scene is awesome. I think the beheading scenes really does the sword fight scenes where the characters fight the enemies and then cut their heads after saying the only line ''There can be only one.'' The only best thing about the movie that really impressed me is Kurgan played by Mr Krabs. (Chuckles) Now don't let that bother you. I said Mr Krabs because Mr Krabs is played by Clancy Brown. I think he always plays bad guy roles like Uka Uka from the Crash Bandicoot series, Baron Praxis from Jak 2 and the others. But in Spongebob Squarepants, the only villian who is in it is got to be Plankton, so I'm just putting it out there. So Kurgan is got to be one of my favorite baddies if not the best villian. He really does get a line that I really like are ''There can be only one.'', ''Hello, pretty.'' ''Another time, Macleod!'' and the famous line ''I have something to say! It's better to burn out than to fade away!'' Now this is the line that I have to show my teacher Simon and my friends from Drama Club where I have to say the line by turning around. It is awesome! Sean Connery has a small role in it though cause his character dies because of Kruger the Kurgan after Ramirez helps Conner Macleod out with the sword skills so he can defeat the Kurgan. The songs are by Queen. Queen is one of the greatful music band that ever exist in music history. Their songs are Princes of the Universe, Who Wants To Live Forever and Kind Of Magic. I even heard Christopher Lambert saying the tagline. ''Hey, It's a kind of magic.'' This is a very good film despite the box office bomb but it spawn the sequals and TV series. I'm not sure if I wanted to check out the sequals because I heard pretty bad things about them so I'm gonna end it there. So anyways, if anyone's a fan of Queen I would definitely listen to the songs, the soundtrack from Highlander and watch the film. Go watch it! It is a very underrated and really awesome cult classic! But if you lose your head, it's over.

''Patience, Highlander You have done well. But it'll take time. You are generations being born and dying. You are at one with all living things. Each man's thoughts and dreams are yours to know. You have power beyond imagination. Use it well, my friend.
