Here we are,

Born to be kings,

We're the princes of the universe.

 

Here we belong,

Fighting for survival,

We've come to be the rulers of your world!

 

I am immortal,

I have inside me blood of kings,

I have no rival,

No man can be my equal.

I'm gonna be the ruler of your world!

 

 

There can be only one.

It's been jipped in AFI's Top 100, Every Critic's poll, and The Oscars. but now it's getting the recognition it deserves.

So you're saying three posters on a wrestling message board talking about Highlander is getting its deserved recognition?

No, but when Loenard Maltin sees this thread, he will reconsider his ** 1/2 star rating of Highlander and that will begin the long road to it being considered a modern day classic.

 

Oh and TNT says it's a "New Classic" That's gotta mean something.

Yes, Highlander is a good movie. It's a shame the studio saw too many dollar signs, because they ruined what was a nifty little self-contained story by making the sequels. None of them are particularly good, though I did think the TV series was well-done.

 

But the song... come on, get the lyrics right if you're such a fan.

 

Here we are,

Born to be kings,

We're the princes of the universe.

Ok, you got the opening lines right. Of course, they played them at the beginning of every episode of the TV show, but they are three pretty good lines.

 

Here we belong,

Fighting for survival,

We've come to be the rulers of your world!

The first two are right; the third is "In a world with the darkest powers." At least, that's the way it is when the song opens. In the clipped TV show version, your order is correct, but I don't remember now if the lines appear in that order later in the original song or not. Hey, it's late; sue me.

 

I am immortal,

I have inside me blood of kings,

I have no rival,

No man can be my equal.

I'm gonna be the ruler of your world!

You're good until the last line there, which is "Take me to the future of your world."

 

Speaking as both a Queen fan and a Highlander fan...

Please, everything on TNT is a "new classic"

Golf isn't, that's just "Drama"

Is this the stupidest poll ever?

 

1. Yes

2. Hell Yes

Sadly, your poll has NO votes, while mine has many.

 

 

I think the other posters are telling you something.

i myself haven't seen it.

Go to a place where films are rented and see it. It is like seeing God's face and having him say: "You are my greatest creation."

That's cuz mine wasn't a real poll, it was sarcasm.

EDIT: This whole thread is a joke, DUH! :P

I liked Highlander:Endgame as a sequel, bridging the Old school with the New School.

There should never be another Highlander movie. I loved the first one but the second one lost me.... in the first 10 minutes. All of a sudden they're on a new planet and Connor's all old. Then Ramierez comes back to life after being killed I don't get it.

 

OOOPS ^_^

Carry on with the sarcasm.

I actually did like the first HIGHLANDER a lot, but not as much as I said here.

 

3 was the best sequel. And that's not saying too much.
