Highlander: The Source is a 2007 action/sci-fi/fantasy film--the fifth (and final coffin nail) one in the Highlander film series.

It is notable for somehow being worse than Highlander II, making less sense than Alone in the Dark, and being poorly written even for Syfy standards. (Well, that's three signs of the Apocalypse...)

Plot[]

A bunch of immortals traipse around post-apocalyptic Europe looking for a MacGuffin that completely negates the very basis for the entire Highlander mythos.

Notable Characters[]

The Episode[]

  • This is the second Highlander movie covered on the show

Scores[]

James - Euthanasia

Damien - Pluznar

Highlights[]

  • Damien's psychotic Monopoly game analogy
  • The hosts declare that orbital wobble will be the next fireball
  • The Squawkening!!!
  • Duncan is attacked by a Disturbed album cover
  • James' many names for the Elder
  • Who the fuck is the Guardian? What the fuck is the Source?! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?!?
  • "THIS IS HOLY GROUND!"
  • The stupid things Damien would make James do if he was killed and became a ghost
  • Also, Damien's spying on people if he became a ghost
  • Guy Banter: The Source, the source of all douchebaggery
  • Damien imitates the horrific cover of "Princes of the Universe" on his bass guitar on air
  • Duncan and the Guardian have a 4-Square match

References[]

Tiradesverse Tropes[]

Ending Song[]
