This film would have stunk to high heaven, were it not for Clancy Brown's portrayal of The Kurgan. He not only made the film worth watching, he stole the show completely!! Fuck all the other Highlander bad guys (& good guys, come to think of it) - They'd ALL get their asses butchered by The Kurgan. (still say he should have won that fight w/Connor.)
If Davis/Panzer had ANY brains, they'd re-do the whole series - with Kurgan as the main protagonist!!
@dhice69 Kane was a weak imitation of Kurgan as was Katana in 2, both were clone copies by voice and action, same K in name yes? Both were weak and pale next to Clancy Brown. As far as Immortal Villians go, there truly can be only one, and thats Clancy Brown as the Kurgan.
They are planning a Highlander remake. If it's done well, and that's a BIG if, I think the Kurgan should be played by True Bloods Alexander Skarsgard. He definitely has the physical presence and I think he has more than the acting ability to bring a new take on the character.
When you read the character background for Kurgan from Highlander 1, it says that he was born in the Russian Steppes and learned how to fight as soon as he learned how to walk. Kurgan is actually a Russian word, which means "Burial Mound", such as "Mamayev Kurgan". The real Kurgan really did wear armor made of skulls and bones. It seems even this fantasy movie was stuck in a Cold War -- the villain must be an "evil Russian" *laughs*. Ironically, Kurgan became more popular than Highlander. :-)
He also is the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants!
He had star roles on series such as Earth 2, The Outer Limits, Carnivale...
Movies besides Highlander: Pet Sematary 2, Starship Troopers, Bad Boys (with Sean Penn), Past Midnight, The Express, The Shawshank Redemption (Die Verurteilten -> Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman), Blue Steel, The Burrowers a.m.m...
couldn't blame him lol I didnt like it either, although I did enjoy the base of where the immortals originated but it was too sci-fi like to fit the other films such as endgame and final dimension
I'll have to agree with belsizeg. I think that Clancy Brown really stole the show in "Higlander".
Also...is it just me...or is it a strange coincidence that Peter Steele from the goth-metal band "Type-O-Negative" has a striking resemblance to The Kurgan?? I think Peter would've made a great Kurgan!!
Yep....and yet.....Connor still seperated his head from hs body..with ease........great film and such an overlooked classic..i say to young guys in my platoon (im a British Royal Marine Commando) "have u seent eh highlander" adn they are like....nahh...is such n such in it?? im like....shit havent lived
Kurgan is the man. He is the strongest out of all of them. If it was not for the chick, he would have killed connor in the end. See, luck prevails sometimes. You knwo that is the truth cause Ramirez said he ie " The Black Knight" and he is the Strongest of them all. I trully disslike the Kell{ he sucks, i just dont like Bruce Pain, shitie actor} the guardian was ok/
I don't like long hair on guy's head. Just like in other places of his bod ;)))) The zero option, that's the perfect solution ;P Anyway, if Kurgan is ever silly enough to try to ask me for a date I'll send him straight to you ;)))))
lemmy Behold the King The King of Kings On your knees dog All hail Bow down to the Bow down to the King Bow down to the Bow down to the King The King grinned red As he walked from the blaze Where the traitor lost both his name and his face Through the halls and the corridors Stinking in blood He tasted his grin and it tasted good
Darkness is familiar.. friendly smooth and handsome... and HONEST! Warriors all ot there on the run, bow DOWN to the KING!
