Well, great--this frees up DPP to find brand new blindingly stupid ways to
screw up a Highlander film. "The suits, the suits!" WAS getting a bit old.

You DO remember the part in Highlander about swords, & taking heads to
survive, & sexy Quickenings? Endgame & the other films had MANY flaws, but
I don't recall rolling heads causing much dissent among HL fans.
Now--if you mean MORPHING & TALKING rolling heads a la Connor at the end of
Endgame, then I agree totally--a lopped head should drop, roll, & then cease
to do anything at all. And if Dimension forced DPP to commit THAT crappy
part of Endgame, then good riddence. But--I doubt it very much. And, gore
really wasn't Endgame's problem.
Nina (wondering how to make HL less gory) (instead of heads, maybe Immortals
die only when they lose their ... ear? left foot? pinkie?) (or, ditch the
whole sword thing & have Immies keep going & going until they lose ... sense
of humor? virtue? at checkers?) (it would be sad to screw w/ Freddie's
nice song, though, so I think the swords & the gore should stay)
