Nah, I got O.D.'d on Highlander a long time ago. The producers and writers do too many spinoffs (the series is a spinoff of Highlander's first movie, and then Highlander: Endgame is a spinoff of the series, bypassing Highlander 2 and Highlander 3 -- which itself bypasses Highlander 2. And now a new animated movie by the guys who animated Ninja Scroll shows promise, but it brings a new "Colin MacLeod" so I guess this is a re-imangin-eering of Highlander that bypasses everything that has been done before.
It's getting old.
But if you have a good prop (not the mass produced stuff) it would be nice to see them.
Ol' Mac has considered making a prop replica though... but first the Vader stuff!
I try to see Highlander the same way as Matrix - only the first movie
exists for me ... all the others I have "erased" from my memory -
yeah, the first movie is by far the best. Well, I do have some original screen-used swords such as a Clan MacLeod broadsword with almuminum blade (the one Connor uses during his sword lessons with Ramirez), a Highlander 2 Connor/Ramirez hero katana, a Highlander 4 hero Connor katana, Highlander 5 stunt Duncan katana and stunt Guardian's sword (haven't ven seen that movie yet) and a production made Kurgan sword with a prototype blade.
I had the hero Toledo Salamanca once, but I traded it...I better should have kept it
I'd love to complete my screen-used Highlander katana collection with a Connor katana from Highlander 1 and Highlander 3. In 2003 I had to pass on a screen-used H1 katana at Christie's. I have a nice reproduction which is called "The Mentor's Katana" - that was a collaboration with a friend who re-sculpted the H1 dragonhead and the tsuba based on the images and measurements that I took from originals.
