R Rating Ep2 - Highlander Franchise
Manage episode 507893972 series 3691103
In this episode of R Rating, we’re tackling the Highlander franchise — a cult saga that spans movies, TV shows, and even spin-offs. Starting with Highlander (1986), starring Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and the legendary Sean Connery, the franchise gave us the immortal Connor MacLeod and the unforgettable line: “There can be only one.” From there, the series grew into a mix of sequels, a long-running TV show, and a fandom that refuses to let it die.
We’ll break down the original film, Highlander II, Highlander III, Endgame, The Source, and the Highlander TV series, looking at what worked, what didn’t, and why the franchise still has such a dedicated following despite its ups and downs. Is Highlander a cult classic that deserves more recognition, or a series that lost its way after the first film?
If you’re a fan of fantasy, action-adventure, sword fights, immortals, and cult 80s/90s franchises, this is the deep dive for you. Expect honest takes, nostalgia, and plenty of love for the franchise that gave us immortals battling across centuries.
