Never let Clancy Brown in a church As the Kurgan he'll creep you out As Lex Luthor he'll probably buy it As Mr. Krabs he'd probably steal the offering xD What an actor though! He was probably one of the scariest and funniest villains ever.
Read the letter of the Scythians to the Pharoah of Egypt. "Why did you demand tribute of us, when we only own our flocks and fields, and the gravehills of our kings and fathers in COMMON? When you have so much, and we so little to give? Before the gods of war are such matters reckoned, on our snowy steppes. So shall it be then, till our wives demand us, king of the Endless River."
He is probably the oldest. His tribe technically defeated Alexander at the banks of the Oxus river. Skyluros of Scythia, whose bow few other men could bend, and whose sword was revered with smoke and chants long into midnight.
He probably see it as cheating himself out of a good fight to take advantage of his enemies letting their guard down. He's a lot of nasty things but a coward isn't one of them. He's a ballsy monster if anything.
I still think hollywood needs to do a stand alone "The Kurgan" movie? Show his story, how he was born on the steps of Russia, for amusement he grew up in pits with hungry dogs fighting for meat, how after defeating Ramirez he gave Heather something Conner never could and secretly she yearned for his return. Something original like that hollywood.
Not likely. Sabretooth was a minor Marvel villain character up to and including the year in which Highlander was made. He wasn't even brought into X-Men stories until 1986. I don't see any major similarities. Mutants aren't all immortal, and aren't fighting until one remains in order to get The Prize. The Kurgan doesn't even have an especially strong rivalry with MacLeod; he hated Ramirez far more. And MacLeod was alive for less than 20% of the Kurgan's life. (The Kurgan is 2500 years older.)
That always struck me as a sign that Kurgan wasn't just a run of he mill bad guy, because he gave consideration for things that were bigger than him, religion and/or tradition. It gave him depth that he wouldn't otherwise have. And his speech to the priest (its not in this clip unfortunately) talks about how Jesus dying for humanity's sins will be his undoing. It was a good touch from he scriptwriter.
It’s too bad Clancy Brown aged out. He would have made an excellent Venom/Eddie Brock. He’s already got the ghastly grin, voice, physical presence and ability to pull off the character the way he was originally written. Talk about a huge missed opportunity.
I have always thought that this movie was like a deliberate rip off of the Wolverine comic book. The Highlander and Kurgan are so much like Wolverine and Sabertooth-the story takes place in Europe instead of Asia but I think the similarities are a little obvious if you think about it. Shoot...he's way too old now but Clancy Brown would've been an awesome Sabertooth.
Unlike Connor, who was born into a Roman Catholic society in the early 16th century, the Kurgan was born more than a thousand years before the coming of Christianity. As such, he would consider Christianity as just another glorified cult created by mortals fearful of death. Nonetheless, though he doesn't take Christianity seriously as such, even he still recognizes churches as holy ground and won't fight in them.
apparenrly from what i remember reading on the highlander wiki the kurgan was either sent from zeist by the highlander 2 villain to win the game. or that would mean that originally he sided with connor and ramirez and the rebels
@DrinkToIreland Why is your name DrinkToIreland when you have a Scottish saltire as your image? Hmm, I guess you can drink to one country while displaying the emblem of another. Everyone in Scotland hates the Campbells, as you'll probably know.
Never let Clancy Brown in a church
As the Kurgan he'll creep you out
As Lex Luthor he'll probably buy it
As Mr. Krabs he'd probably steal the offering xD
What an actor though! He was probably one of the scariest and funniest villains ever.
Clancy Brown, one of the gentlest well-mannered guys out there, becoming pure menace for this role
Yea Clancy Brown was having the time of his life in this film
Jake Bryant apparently he didn’t like that he wasn’t given much direction and so had to create a lot of the character himself
@@jackhamilton9604 it was a good call on the director's part, why mess with perfection?
And 20 years later he became Mr Crabs on Spongebob
+burtonrules123 "Har har! Nice to see ya again McCloud, now give me a big hug before I kill yer woman and take yer head!"
Daniel Ryan 14 years later
Don't forget byron Hadley in shawshank redemption
@burtonrules123 oh it's mister krabs...for sure
13 years later
holyshit.. his voice was EPIC
Fuck off with that overused and played out word.
@ClandestineOstrich Yeah, that's true.
Read the letter of the Scythians to the Pharoah of Egypt. "Why did you demand tribute of us, when we only own our flocks and fields, and the gravehills of our kings and fathers in COMMON? When you have so much, and we so little to give? Before the gods of war are such matters reckoned, on our snowy steppes. So shall it be then, till our wives demand us, king of the Endless River."
*Oh yeah mr. Krabs. AAAAAAA*
Lambert looks so much like Thomas Jane.
The other wat Jane is younger than Lambert.
Its that Gallo-Roman-Norman fusion.
little did we know clancy brown the kurgan would one day be the voice of mr krabs from spongebob lol hilaious
WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THAT!
Weird! In every version I've seen until right now, McCloud's line is, "Nice to see you, Kurgan. Who cut your hair?"
The greatest villain ever.
He is probably the oldest. His tribe technically defeated Alexander at the banks of the Oxus river. Skyluros of Scythia, whose bow few other men could bend, and whose sword was revered with smoke and chants long into midnight.
I love the idea that MacLeod would wish his old adversary a happy birthday. The Kurgan seems very pleased with the birthday greeting.
Yes, but less with MacLeod's comment on his hairdo.
"After Rome fell, I stopped counting. But I'm glad you remembered. You are a.... Civilized man. I shall send my horse to thy pyre, Scot."
The sexiest scene ever: The Kurgan seen from behind walking towards McLeod. Very nice to look at! 😊
So glad I'm not the only one that has a thing for him😂
@@stephaniedeklerk5754 he's very cool to say the least.
@@stephaniedeklerk5754 Definitely not! 😉
There can be only one , me boy.
Yes, Clancy Brown is great no matter what part he's playing, but the Kurgan is definitely a classic!
He DOES know a touch of Icelandic Norsk, and can ride as well as any cowboy. Unique guy, loved him in Pathfinder.
Anyone else surprised that the Kurgan actually obeyed the "Holy Ground" rule?
He cares nothing for the Christian god, yet he is, in his way, noble. Like your own namesake, chief of the Goths.
It's been said there's at least one line even the evillest of immortals won't cross, Holy Ground being that line.
He probably see it as cheating himself out of a good fight to take advantage of his enemies letting their guard down. He's a lot of nasty things but a coward isn't one of them. He's a ballsy monster if anything.
If memory serves, on Highlander 3 Kane tries to fight Mccloud inside a church, and as a result their swords shatter, I don't think they have a choice.
@@neoryu25pompei disaster was caused by 2 immortals who broke this rule
I wish he would have showed up in a Joel Olstein seminar, then I could watch it and not be bored.
Take notes Square Enix, this is how you do a fantasy.
Thanks for the kind words, dude! Glad you enjoyed it.
Whoa! Calm down, Mr. Krabs!
Relax.......have a crabby pattie.
Kurgans brother was one of the toughest screws to work at shawshank prison

It'd be hard finding someone as perfect in the role as Brown was here
Rawhead Rex that's a great idea, I'd definitely go see a movie like that.
The Kurgan recognises Ramires, so they have an encounter too? In the end, there can be only one. 😍
@@andrewthorne3570
When they do, Clancy should make a cameo as a grizzled old guy managing a bar trying and failing to kick the new Kurgan out.
I wish this movie existed, but I don't see anybody other than Clancy as the Kurgan
I am in disguise.
You're just a machine, Connor.
nICE TO SEE U KURGAN!!
0.25 secs - nice to see you Kurgan.

Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?
I'd say Clancy Brown is best known as either Captain Byron Hadley in The Shawshank Redemption or as Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants.
And sargeant Zim in starship troopers
charismatic Kurgan
I'm telling you Kurgan was the inspirations for Ryuk from deathnote
Even Kurgan has respect for Holy Ground
That always struck me as a sign that Kurgan wasn't just a run of he mill bad guy, because he gave consideration for things that were bigger than him, religion and/or tradition.

Name your kid Clancy... this happens.
Never realized it before but the tattoo on his head looks like Jormungandr.
It's better to burn out than fade away!
That's better.
You don't like the Kurgan getting angry when MacLeod insinuates that he has a bad haircut?
There's just no pleasing some people...
His people brought Buddhism to Asia from the Steppes. Perhaps its fitting he's shorn like a warrior-ascetic.
highlander was awesome back then.
@superkurgan
Russel Mulcahy told me personally that this was his preferred edit. The studio made him do the one that was in the movie.
Ah. I was wondering about the editing choice.
Happy Halloween ladies 😜😜😜
Kurgan looks like Aleksandr Usyk
my mind was blown when i found out this guy now voiced is mr krabs
Man, the things you learn! I had no idea he was Mr. Krabs!
cut to hell... "happy haloween ladies" indeed! ;)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN LADIES!
woooler wooooooooooooo
LOOOOOOOOOOl Happy birthday xD
Hahahaha "Happy birthday..."
gr8 haircut and studded leather coat. I think Brando could've pulled this off!!
It’s too bad Clancy Brown aged out. He would have made an excellent Venom/Eddie Brock. He’s already got the ghastly grin, voice, physical presence and ability to pull off the character the way he was originally written. Talk about a huge missed opportunity.
That clip has been cut to shit.
William Jeremiah I can't sneak anything past you.
whodathunkit Right?
There is no holy ground in Ba Sing Se
this was butched, and they left out when he bends down to kiss the priest ring but then licks his hand all the way up his arm.
And now a teacher in Schooled
@Psykel
Yep there's that too.
Yeah, but we still recognize you, Kurgan. 😐
Also, yeah, it's Hallowed Ground.
After the Synagogue shooting...Kurgan Seems more Honorable..WTH
100% AGREED!
love hurts.
THERE CA. bE oNLY ONE ! plankton 😂
0:35 fkn LOL
@balrog13571 As Alexei or Brother Justin????¿??
The lines are mixed up. I don't get it.
Why censor the Nun bit and the rape?
is it just me or down clancy brown look like a screwed up version of andy samberg?
I got this from the start, why's everyone getting so pissed off, it's pretty funny.
You can watch the full scene elsewhere.
Very likely it is Clancy Brown
And he was the one to issue the king of pop Micheal Jackson a "no dancing" fine :P

This is from the director's cut.
This has been heavily edited

"Happy birthday"?
remember what ramirez thaught YOU!
who would have thought clancy would be Hades in God of war 3. lol
anyone wanna to venture a guess on what Kurgans crime was on the planet zeist...
apparenrly from what i remember reading on the highlander wiki the kurgan was either sent from zeist by the highlander 2 villain to win the game. or that would mean that originally he sided with connor and ramirez and the rebels
@Bhoysingreen8493
He did say 'Jersus', though, not 'Jesus'. Maybe Jersus was Jesus' gay cousin?
Is that why he got to be the voice of Lex Luthor in DCAU? Because he was bald as Kurgan?
General Heavy because he is Mr krabs
Cyo because he’s a good actor

Hank?
Young Hank.
Out of curiosity is he the first Immortal ?
GHOST No. He was trained by a much older desert Bedouin, whom he killed subsequently.
KingKaitain interesting do you know who si the first immortal?
GHOST I believe it is one of the Ancient Egyptians. Cant remember who though.
wasent methos the oldest ????? ill research it and post it here
hAha ur cut-scene doesnt make any sense xD
Connor asks him Who cuts Kurgans hair then Kurgan yells: HOLY GROUND!
hahaha wtf
hmmmmm
Can't understand a word at the end
He says "Holy sh!t, don't you remember - All the barbers are closed in 2020 so I had to do it myself" or words to that effect.
Oh, come now, SECOND-rate at least, surely...?
your botched
afgelikte boterham.
WTF!?
Bad cut
HORRIBLE EDITING, THUMBED DOWN
love hurts.
