bytheway this also applies to
Superman (anti kryptonite shield)
SpiderDude - (anti love)
Hulk - (Soap Operas)
Xmen - the leader bald guy - anti him = marijuana / the chicj who cant touch anything = condomns
Batman should take a vacation -away from the stress of the city
etc
etc
He has an anti-kryptonite suit that he could wear.Quote:

Actually let's face it Christopher Lambert isn't the sharpest spoon in the drawer either, he'd probably put on one of those collars from Ruger Hauer film Wedlock. :1eye:Quote:

Highlanders a farce anyway.In the first film he was the last one and then got imortality,but in the third film there were three imortals trapped in that cave.
Please discuss. :1eye:
In Hollywood there is the unwritten rule that you must Always make massive Holes of consisntency in the story - so that if the movie sells you can make a sequal to try to fix the hole.Quote:

So whilst the steel-collar certainly doesn't make them completely safe the question is still there that why didn't they wear the collars to be safer?
a steel collar would make them look like dicks, it's like driving without your seat-belt on - you look hawt when you're flying through the windshield
Since they're aliens anyway and likely have considerable medical technology, it might be wise for them to consider a mutation to put them in line with the Traordian species from the Gownpread constellation.
Instead of a vulnerable head, the organs normally located on a head are set into their chest and their brain protected inside a reinforced ribcage along with the heart and lungs.
Obviously, this makes them formidable warriors. Just the ticket for Lambert and his bretheren.
They would be safer. However, Highlanders do feel pain and can be immobilized. They may be somewhat immortal but actually have no super powers.Quote:

For the best protection possible I recommend a metal helmet and Kevlar body armor (for mobility). The Highlander could also have a permanent skull and neck one piece made.
Keep in mind that a chop to the legs can immobilize him as well so he's still stoppable.

My solution > Busyman's solution.

They can be fuckheads....always touting that they are immortals when in fact they are not. We didn't have a Highlander problem in America until part 2 which was/is many years from now.Quote:

There can only be none!
Yet there was more than one movie and how many prize(s)? :blink:Quote:

Look on the bright side: they cut Lambert's head off in the last movie. The problem seems to be rsolving itself.
Something even more complicated is to work out how the films interact chronologically.Quote:
