Since the original Kurgan is too busy doing Home Depot commercials, and sideshow has that tranny lookin' fig, I thought I would post what the new Kurgan will be up to in the years ahead.

Boonch pulls a strange CURVED SWORD from the man’s sheath --
a SHASHKA SABRE: weapon of choice for warriors of the
Southern Russian steppes. We will come to know this
particular warrior as THE KURGAN.
BOONCH
(off shashka sabre)
Where do you hail from, stranger?
CLAN MEMBER #1
[Can’t you see, Boonch? He’s so
scared he swallowed his tongue --]
More laughs, but we catch a FLICKER in the Kurgan’s eye that
makes us wonder if he understood the slight. Boonch returns
the sabre to its sheath and turns to his men but:
We STAY ON the Kurgan who seems more alert by the second, his
pulse quickening now, his gaze on:
MACLEOD
Approaching with his men, joining Boonch and the others.
But something comes over MacLeod -- an odd feeling. All
earthly sounds DROP AWAY save for MacLeod’s heart now
POUNDING in his ears, faster and faster as he turns to:
The Kurgan who seems to share the feeling, MacLeod knowing
but not understanding that there is some kind of BOND between
them and:
The Kurgan smirks maliciously at MacLeod, the sounds of the
world coming back now and:
MacLeod, eyes darting to the DEAD all around him, suddenly
understands who massacred these people:
MACLEOD
[Take that man’s weapon!]
5.
CLAN MEMBER #1
[Him? He’s nothing, Conner --]
MACLEOD
[Do it now!]
Clan Members #1 and #2 move to obey but it’s much too late
for that because:
In one terrifyingly fast motion the Kurgan stands, draws and
swings, his curved blade slashing #1 and slicing #2 -- both
men toppling over...
...the Kurgan plunging and withdrawing the sabre, a violent
poetry to the lightning quick motions -- amazingly he swings
the sabre back over his shoulder, the curved blade appearing
under his arm and sticking into his fifth victim’s gut --
MacLeod drawing and pushing BOONCH to safety and:
A CLANGING of steel on steel as MacLeod and the Kurgan
engage, the Kurgan a whirlwind of gleaming metal -- MacLeod
on the retreat and getting hammered and he steps back and:
The Kurgan’s sword strikes the ground and MacLeod goes on the
attack, not skilled so much as adrenalized and in a rage --
he smashes the Kurgan back and back and delivers a CUT across
the Kurgan’s torso and:
The Kurgan backs away. Sees his own blood. Can’t believe
he’s been touched at all. He swings violently --
Their swords LOCK and in the blink of an eye the Kurgan
slides his blade down MacLeod’s blade, into the quillion and
suddenly MacLeod’s sword is out of his hand, flipping through
the air and then, incredibly, it’s in the Kurgan’s hand and:
The Kurgan plunges MacLeod’s own sword all the way through
MacLeod’s chest, MacLeod dropping to his knees -- the
LUCKENBOOTH -- Heather’s charm -- falling to the ground.
The Kurgan speaks gently into MacLeod’s ear [Gaelic subtitled
English]:
KURGAN
[Too bad, MacLeod. With time you
might have been great.]
The Kurgan withdraws the blade. MacLeod falls onto his face.
 
So I guess this is the 1st meeting between the two when the Kurgan kills Connor for the 1st time?

Sounds okay, seems they have given Connor more of a leadership role in his clan. He is more experienced, since he actually manages to get off an attack on the Kurgan, and it sounds like the Kurgan (Boonch :monkey4) didnt go to the fight looking for Connor, but more stumbles onto him?


I dont think anything I read I will really like, since Highlander is a complete work of art for me, but it doesnt sound horrible either. :dunno

I much prefer the idea of the Kurgan hunting down Immortals, even before they have died and risen again as true Immortals. It makes the Kurgan a more cunning and dangerous villian.

The Kurgan just stumbling onto Connor doesnt feel as dramatic as him coming into the fight solely to kill Connor.

yeah, it is from the new script

Cool beans... =)
 
Watching Highlander for the first time, I cant really imagine how a remake would be better...:dunno


(Havent finished it yet...but will do so tomorrow)
 
UNLESS they get him back.


I think he is to old at this point, and I doubt he could recreate the awesomeness twice. Plus it might end up being EXTREMELY bad watching him try to match or out shine his previous performance.
 
All I can say is that, that film is way ahead of its time when it was made, imo :rock
 
Also, I'm looking forward to this "re-make". I'm always open for new take on things. Maybe the new Kurgan will be more bad^^^ than the original. Maybe not. We'll see. If not, i hope that Clancy kicks his @$$.
 
I have to agree with Dave, a remake would be better. Only if, in the end, the Kurgan was the one. Don't know how they got that so wrong in the first one either Dave.
