Highlander, again

I’ve made no secret of my love of the movie Highlander (as well as the TV show, but not Highlander 2 or ‘The Source’, which somehow outdid H2 as one of the worst movies I attempted to watch more than once) but even I had to laugh at the music video for Princes of the Universe I just saw:

A great song, yes, one of the best movie score songs, but cannot get past the bad lip-synching, and the ‘cameo’ by Connor MacLeod.  Pure cheese.

One other tidbit I didn’t know before:

The opening scene was intended to take place during an NHL hockey match, but the NHL refused to allow the crew to film there because, by the crew’s own admission, they were intending to emphasize the violence of the hockey match.

That’s odd, I had a hard time telling the dark, gray parking lot apart from Nassau Coliseum…
