Mulcahy's direction is the film's best asset, but tonally there is no roadmap. And ultimately, this comes down to a final confrontation quickly, so the film struggles to fill two hours while we wait. Connery is in this for five minutes. Lambert has a weird stare and we're supposed to relate to him most. Why would any highlanders be friends anyway? Clancy Brown has the best motivation, maybe the only motivation. Holy shit this movie is boring.

This movie is so over the top that it pushes itself firmly into the "so bad it's awesome" type of category. A lot of fun throughout, some 80s cheese but undeniably some cool action in here as well as a pretty unique story.

I am literally in awe of what I’ve just seen. There’s nothing this movie didn’t have. Sword fights. Sean Connery. Medieval Scottish highlands warfare. Queen songs. Michael Kamen score. Training montages. Growing old montages. Boobs. Old ladies on cars. WWII. Generic 80s movie cops. Wrestling. The Quickening. Clancy Brown going nuts to a degree that would make Ledger Joker go “what the fuck bro?!” How did Russell Mulcahy go from this virtuoso filmmaking to decades of unwatchable shit?

Bombastic hokum that kicked off many bad visual trends. The mix of noir elements within a faux epic register was rather original, and the concept of immortals chasing each other across time is decent, as was the time shifting narrative which was unusual for a genre piece, but Widen's plotting is messy and he touches on many related themes (e.g the isolation and burden of mortality) without developing any of them. Lambert is a wooden plank as MacLeod, and Mulcahy's flashy style is dated.

From a personal note, this is probably my favorite cult movie of all time. Because of that the review can't help but be a little biased. Without being blind to the obvious production flaws. The story is very powerful and the acting is good enough to keep it afloat. Especially from the main two leads. And Russell Mulcahy's camerawork mixed with truly thrilling sword fights make for a terrific time with this 80s flick. Above all else the original music from Queen, no other soundtrack some close.

Any movie that gives the hero the ability to say his name to a woman, tell her he cannot die, and she automatically sleeps with him, has to be a good flick. Add in the bad guy's name is "The Kurgan", and Sean Connery is slicing people up with an s-word like they're Alex Trebek's control over Celebrity Jeopardy, and you have a WINNER!
