WTF Happened to Highlander?

Highlander may have stumbled at the box office in 1986, but its road to becoming a cult phenomenon is one of the wildest stories in ‘80s genre filmmaking. From a screenplay written by a 20-year-old UCLA firefighter, to Russell Mulcahy bringing music-video energy to centuries of swordfights, to Christopher Lambert learning English for the role, to Sean Connery shooting all his scenes in a week, the production was as chaotic as it was ambitious. SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie? Wanna support us and look good doing it?
