  • Clancy Brown waxes lyrical about his seminal film Highlander, the secrets of sword fighting, and killing Sean Connery. Not in real life, of course.

    His older Kurgen sounds even better than the younger one. All the sequels suffered because no-one was ever going to come close to him as a villain.

      Best part is Red Death from Venture Bros is almost perfectly built like Kurgen, and naturally, he comes back to reprise the old role in his yellow eyes phase.

      True--before I actually watched the film, I once watched a review about one of the crappy sequels, and the review kept leaping back and forth between the Kurgan and subsequent villains and I just thought, "Wow those sequels never stood a chance."

    I especially like what Clancy Brown had to say about Kurgan taking the traditions of the immortals seriously despite showing scorn for orthodox religion.
    In the lost scene with Yung Dol Kim, he tells him that tradition “is all we have.”
    It hints at a certain hidden depth to his character which I’ve always found intriguing.

      Nobody owes the fans shit. It's cool to have fans, but it's not as if they made their career. Of course doing public appearances and talking to fans is a nice thing to do, but there shouldn't be any obligation to spend your time with them. If you appear at these sorts of things, it should be because you want to. Because you appreciate the fans. Fans can be way too entitled.

      Perhaps, but on the other side of the coin Clancy would likely be viewed as secondary if Lambert showed up. Without him, Clancy is the main attraction and getting the most attention and biggest applause. Then again, he doesn't act like he wants the big spotlight.

    Its a shame Clancy's character wasn't explored more considering he was one of the oldest immortals. Clancy carried the part really well. There has been a lot of highlander films and a TV series, in my opinion the Kurgan was by far the best. I don't think the Kurgan was evil at all he simply wanted the prize and thought he deserved it. What he would of done with it is another film....
