Dev, I don't know if you've got it on you, but watch the opening fight.

The fuck is with the backflips?
I know. It would be quicker for him to run.

He's an immortal. They do things differently. You shouldn't laugh at people for being different.

Highlander is one of my all time faves. It's like eating a kilo of chocolate raisins.

Oh yeah - and a Frenchman plays a Scotsman who thinks that a Scotsman playing an Egyptian is actually Spanish.

I'm not making this up.
