  1. Clipart, the movie, with a mincing Bulk running around, comic sans credits, cars that are couches surrounded in cgi, random levels of animation, people running in place, things changing scale, inability to act from most of the cast, no sense of story telling, and just complete insanity that no one could've thought was acceptable.


  2. "Killian, it's the attorney general -- He just bought life insurance ..."

     

    "What kind of workout clothes should she be wearing?"

    "I don't know. How air just underwear. A teddy or something."

    "Can we put her in a bra?!?"

    "Wrong movie."

     

    They undoubtedly score the stalkers on their performance, so Captain Freedom must've been the highest scoring stalker in the nation, for the year, ten times. Maybe just most kills, or whatever, or highest killing percentage.


  3. 2. In speech class, when Mitchell is describing what stylin' is, he says it's like liquid Drano. Is there a non-liquid Drano? Seems redundant.

     

    The original is Crystal Drano, so, yes. Liquid Drano is specially called liquid Drano. There have also been aerosol and foamer variants.

  4. So, is this movie Hotdog: The Movie, except they replace all the fun stuff with tedious nonsense? It's summer instead of winter, skating instead of skiing and devil's backbone instead of the Chinese downhill. And Hotdog would even be a better fit for the name Airborne because of all the aerial skiing.

     

    Also, why does this movie have a 6.2 rating on imdb?!?

  5.  

    Christopher Lambert was only in the first episode of the tv series as far as I remember. But both of the Highlanders did team up for a later film I think.

     

    "Remember how the plot of the first film was all about The Gathering? Yeah, that never happened. It's sort of starting now, but will take forever and will be open ended until people just stop giving a shit." - C. MacLeod at the beginning of the series to D. MacLeod, paraphrased.

     

    Normal plot:

     

    Two adversaries must team up because they aren't powerful enough to defeat the villain on their own.

     

    Highlander version:

     

    Two friends must fight each other to the death because they aren't powerful enough to defeat the villain together.


  6. Highlander experts, please help me. Are all Highlanders male? Are they all infertile? Then how are Highlanders born? When does immortality kick in? Some highlanders are young, some are older.

     

    Highlanders are people from the Highlands of Scotland, which is where MacLeod just happens to be from. I can't recall any female Immortals depicted in the original movie, but there certainly were in the TV series. But they would all be infertile. Immortality kicks in when you first receive an injury that would kill a human. In the series there's at least one shown as being perpetually about 10 years old.

    Anyway, the original movie lays out a world and a set of rules, but Highlander 2 denies almost all of this and replaces the explanation of the world with a new, nonsense one. The recut of the movie then disavoys this new explanation, to a large extent. Highlander 3 completely denies the events of Highlander 2 and introduces a new reason to ignore the results of the original film instead. But don't get to used to that because the series disavoys both sequels and most of the original movie to create another version. The fourth movie maintains that continuity and uses it to largely trample on the original film. Any of the further this than that are just too complicated and stupid even for this explanation.

     

    Hope that clears this up for nobody. Enjoy.
