Highlander/Awesome


Highlander

  • The original Highlander movie more or less codified the Crowning Moment of Awesome with the Quickening (No, not the awful movie). What could we do to make a swordfight more awesome? Oh, how about when one of the guys takes the other guy's head, EVERYTHING EXPLODES!
  • The church scene in the original film. Never before has two men sitting down and talking been more badass.
  • The Kurgan gets a Dying Moment of Awesome. After his fatal wound and before his head topples from his body, he smiles at Connor and raises his sword in a salute.
  • The duel between Ramirez and the Kurgan. When Sean Connery is demolishing brick walls due to the impact of his sword, you know that Awesome is occuring.
  • The gun nut who stumbles upon the end of a duel and opens fire on the Kurgan. No, it didn't work, but he still did better than just about anyone else who went up against the Kurgan.
