These are two different movies.
Hahaha. Oh, DUH.
I still have three left over and the score board says I got 48/50! Weirdness.
eta: OK, got the clover one. Still scratching my head about the other two despite the clues.
eta2: done! Got the eagle. The game let me finish despite the pack that I didn't get the row of the cars clue! Huh.
Criminy! I haven't tried my hand at that seemingly impossible game. Um, anyone mind if I talk about a movie now?
I just saw
Highlander.
It was...totally eighties. And Christopher Lambert's silly made-up accent was annoying. And the villain was ridiculously over-the-top. And the mythology was poorly explained and didn't make a lot of sense. It was not that great a movie and didn't really stand out among all the other cheesy eighties fantasy movies.
So why the hell is it so popular? With like fifty sequels and a television series and all that? Also, how can there be a sequel after that? THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. There is one. THE END. I guess more Immortals can arise after someone gets The Prize? Also, until I saw the movie, I thought the Immortals were called Highlanders.
(I will admit, the idea of having swordfights in New York WAS cool and effectively strange.)

The producers of the sequels had no idea either.

You've just described my reaction to Labyrinth.
Ah ha ha! I was just introduced to the term Spock-blocked, which describes what happened to Kirk in the movie.
And this was termed Spockkake.
You've just described my reaction to Labyrinth.
Ha!! I haven't seen that movie in years, but I'm pretty sure I liked it.
Labyrinth,
Legend,
Willow,
Krull,
those are cheesy eighties fantasy movies I loved. Although I have not seen them since I was in the eighties (or possibly nineties), so I don't know whether I'd have the
Highlander
reaction to them now.
(Did all cheesy eighties fantasy movies have one-word titles? Damn.)
For the record, I love (and own)
Highlander.
Everyone I know who likes Highlander are big stoners.
Well, now you know one who's not.
