Continuity mistake: Connor decapitates Fasil holding his sword with one hand, but the close-up shows that he's using both hands. (00:09:25)
Highlander (1986)
1 picture
Directed by: Russell Mulcahy
Starring: Sean Connery, Clancy Brown, Christopher Lambert, Roxanne Hart
Visible crew/equipment: There is no invisible magic power lifting Christopher Lambert in air at the end - there are two wires clearly fixed on his shoulders.
Connor MacLeod: I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.
Trivia: In the video versions, the scene where MacLeod rescues Rachel, the text the German SS officer speaks has not been subtitled or otherwise translated, so it may not be obvious why MacLeod eventually kills the German (I don't know whether that was rectified in the DVDs). Here the translation of the German text: MacLeod trips up the officer and seizes his weapon. The German calls: "You should be dead." When MacLeod orders him to move, the German says: "No. First you will have to shoot me." Then MacLeod gives off his opinion about the 'master race', and then shoots him.

Answer: You can lock your opponent's blade in there. It's good for disabling, disarming, and if you've got the leverage, breaking their blade.
