Sword fighting on Mt. Vesuvius while it blows Pompeii to Hell, huge Braveheart-like battles with tubby Scottish dudes waving swords the size of a large child, beheading the crap out of feudal Japan, having fierce melee combat in rooms full of hanging stuff (chains, beef carcasses, electrical wiring)… The Highlander franchise continues to be awesome for people who hated I <3 Huckabees.
It shouldn’t be hard getting the franchise staples involved in this – Adrian Paul hasn’t eaten in three weeks, and Christopher Lambert cries himself to sleep every night ever since he found out that he settled for Rhona Mitra when he could’ve had Angelina Jolie in his Beowulf movie. What would probably move about fifty thousand more copies of this game? Sean. Filking. Connery. The old man is retired, but he put in a weekend doing voice work for From Russia With Love about two years ago, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind resurrecting Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez one last time if he could buy a nice big bottle of very old Scotch with the paycheck.
And come on, he can’t go out on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
