Highlander

"'Highlander' is certainly pure 1980s juice. The script presents Connor MacLeod, a man cursed with eternal life and the pain of losing everyone he loves - all while being forced to play a sick game against other immortals to find out who will be the last one standing. A journey that starts in the 16th century Scottish Highlands, crosses Europe and arrives in a gritty 1980s New York. It has something for fans of action movies and those looking for historical references. The direction is by Australian Russell Mulcahy, who brings a music video language at a time when MTV was beginning to dictate the aesthetics of pop culture. American Christopher Lambert of French descent plays the Irish protagonist, while Scottish Sean Connery plays an Egyptian with a Spanish name called Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez. The salad gets its tastiest seasoning with the great original soundtrack of Queen, with hits like 'Princes of the Universe' and the ballad 'Who Wants to Live Forever'. It had all the ingredients to go wrong, but the result is so delicious that it broke the mold: no sequel comes close to the first movie (the TV series has its good moments, at least)."
