I remember watching this as a teenager, and loving this scene because of the music and of course the little conversation they have at the end of the scene before going to bed together... I was immensely pleased and surprised when the TV series used this same song during the montage of scenes at the end of the series finale. I saw the first film when I was about 10 years old, I'm 42 now, and Highlander (the franchise as a whole) is still one of my top 3 favorite fictional universes.
The finale montage gets me...
Definitely top favorite
Forging a powerful steel sword up in the Scottish Highlands during an early Spring day then training rigorously & gracefully with it would be nothing less than a dream come true......
Imagine living so long your old home is classified as historic ruins
Nothing like walking down to memory lane
If I don't get a new roof I'm headed in that direction.
Being over 600 yrs old I know what you mean
Like houses in Detroit?
@@steventirado6127 That would be a long walk, better take a cut lunch.
My best friends mom love this franchise, she had all the series and movies. She died a few years ago and he gave me all her highlander stuff so when i see anything highlander i always think of her
Same with me and my father, my father died a few years ago himself, loved watching the highlander movies and tv shows himself, loved the music of queen too, got all the highlander movies and shows myself, even all the queen albums as well, they are such classic shows and music you will never get or hear again
@Adam fcuk yuo
@Adam look at the little bitch can't come up with anything original so he liked his own comment. What a little bitch. Must be upset his Daddy didn't pull out. What a little bitch.
Michael Rodgers Was she on the HLBB Fan forum too?
Want to sell them?
As a blacksmith, this is like watching a plumber perform open heart surgery.
Then how can you explain that he forged that übersword from a little block of Japanese iron? Too bad if you can't make more that screwup nails...
@@xjuhox One doesn't need Japanese iron to create an übersword... Just a few kinds of steels, a heap of skill and common sense will suffice... In any case no Toyota fender ever made a more then half descent a sword...
That rowing technique was pretty bad too...
Josh 😂😂😂 you killed me man 🤣🤣

French dude making a Japanese sword in the Scottish Higlands. If this ain't Celtic, I don't what is. Still I love these movies.
With an Irish song in the background.
It's all good
Macleod is Scottish. Was born in the Highlands in or around the 1500 or 1600's, I think. Been awhile since I saw the original movie.
Ahh, whatever. I just care about the characters they portray. That's all.
Much of the mix-ups in this movie hint at the lives these characters live through hundreds of years of experience and travel. I have always wondered about Sean Connery's character. He was called The Spaniard, spoke with a Welsh accent, dressed like a French fop, and carried a Japanese katana with a carved ivory dragon handle. What did that man live through to gather those vastly different elements into a single life?
An American born French dude at that. Lol
Such a great scene! Love the subtle tribute to Rameriz! You can almost feel his spirit training with his best friend
As someone who shares last names with Connery's character, it's spelled Ramirez. But I agree with you.
The question remains. How on gods earth did he get the role? The second question remains. How on gods earth did someone so wrong for the role put in such an incredible performance? Genius casting. Genius film.
Fecking epic mate so so true
I remember hearing that it was because his accent was so 'confused' and made it sound like he had lived everywhere.
@@andrewcowan9066 Detective: "Where you from, Nash?"
MacLeod: "Lots of places." (Highlander 1)
Well it was the 80s
A time when a bunch of guys with funny accents and weird backgrounds became movie stars.
Actually if I were to rank Christopher Lambert among his peers like Arnold, Stallonne, Van Damme etc.
He’d probably be the most normal one.
Because he was young and had the right age, played Tarzan before (strange accents) and won the Cesar prize a year before (1985) for the movie Subway.
I love this setting. The ruins of a tower. The forging of a new blade.
I love scenes of castles and blacksmiths. Kingdom of Heaven is the best, but I do love this old tower scene.
I LOVE "Kingdom of Heaven!" Now THAT'S a film (especially the director's cut) but I digress....
Directors cut is the way to go w/ Kingdom of Heaven
I once managed to forge my own sword using a throw away BBQ and tent peg mallet. It’s no Hattori Hanzo but it can still hold up to an attack from a Cordless Dyson.
silly rabbit....
And the Dyson would be cut!
Lol
The Dysons are an ancient race from the steps of Russian who threw dustbusters into trash compactors for fun.
Masemune more like it. Hattori Hanzo was a ninja of some achievement.
Dude Lambert is the Highlander, as much as I love Paul, Lambert is the one that started it all.
That he is he will always be the original highlander
@R & C Outdoors! the fact that his accent is so bizarre just adds to his mystique... He is a really convincing actor in every way, especially at being The Highlander
Nearly blind actor swings hammer wildly around forge as Scottish locals look on in dismay.
Glasses are for geeks.
Stefano Pavone because he's not suppose to have any ailments, including bad sight.
Music took these movies from just "great" to EPIC!!
Why then was Queen's "Princes Of The Universe" not included in THAT film's score?
One of the best films ever made .. A very deep deep mysterious meaning , behind this film .. incredible , to the soul ..
Lambert , is majestic
I had the same leather jacket... The 90's were the best of times...
eblgraphics you mean the 70's were the best times
Ron Miller Hi Ron well nope I think the late 80s and the entire decade of the 90s was the best of times... Worse year ever 2016... What a disaster lol...
The tale of two centuries
@@eblgraphics did you lose your food stamps?
@@ComplexGinger Totally random comment. What are you a Russian bot lol better yet a Trump supporter... Not much difference in IQ... I know you got offended by the 2016 comment hahaha... You people are so transparent...
They cut the part where he said “ Don’t sit there. That’s where I buried Ramirez!”
Bonny Portmore, i love that music
After the master piece that was the first one nothing could beat it. But the 3rd is worth watching for this scene alone. Just perfect! Deborah Unger is beautiful!
Six minutes of the worst blacksmithing and swordsmanship ever filmed, and yet I still like it.
SinsationalMike I agree. Lol. Haven’t watched this scene since I was like 14. I knew nothing about forging a sword then but even then I was like he is awful when using the sword. He just swings it around. Lol. At least with Adrian Paul and the series they attempted to make him look like he knew what he was doing, though he rarely wielded it like you would a Samurai sword. Watching this scene now makes me cringe.
AP is one of the most accomplished swordsman in all of acting, the dude is legit as fuck
To be fair, Christopher Lambert is legally blind without glasses so it's actually pretty amazing he was able to do what he did.
You mean you don't watch Highlander for historical accuracy!?! LOL
You'd struggle to after living 400yrs.
Still a better love story than twighlight
Unfortunately, unless you are 14, ANYTHING is a better love story than twilight, However, especially with Bonnie Portmore in the background, this is a great start for a love story,
Yeh none of these immortals sparkled in the light!!
And we didnt even get to see what happens next here
@@tacworx2 Well, they kind of do, when they lose their heads...
@@KiltedNomadd 🤣🤣🤣🤣
After watching a single Kenshin movie, he moves like a slow motion, but still I melted after watching this short video. In the first few minutes I also did not understand now, how did he get the role, especially with this funny voice (I watched the movie as kid on a different language), but in the second half I said to myself: nah, that is why he IS THE Macleod.
This was my mom's all time favorite movie series, she'd watch it everytime. She had a crush on both men Adrian and Christopher 😍
4:50 everytime I run, I have this soundtrack playing everywhere I go. The look on other peoples face is priceless because they don't know where it's coming from.
Awesome scene!!! When I was about 8 years old I watched this, went to the basement of my house, made a fireplace, took a piece of metal and believed I would forge my own sword! I was a very faithful child. :)
Maybe you should try it again now? :)
Very familiar man
Try again.
When I was a child, I went to the spot where connor macleod climbed the hill above eilean donan castle in the first highlander film, but then again, I am a highlander myself.
I envy you ,Highlander.I just love Scotland,altough i'm a Serb.Actually i love both countries equally.
This French guy is a good actor but underrated.
He's criminally underrated.
Hes not french.....hes the son of an american diplomat, grew up in switzerland
@@michschep7601 " son of an american diplomat" He's the son of a FRENCH diplomat, posted at the United Nations in New York, which is why he was born in the US. Neither his father or mother were Americans. Why do people like you make comments like this without even bothering to fact check yourself first. It's public information. "Although born in the USA, Lambert is French. His father was a French diplomat stationed in the US at the United Nations at the time of Lambert's birth. "
Your sword, Mr. McCleod, will KEEEEEL
Worse,
Mr. Macleod, your sword didn't make the cut...
@@lonewolf379th ....and the Kurgan is going to tell you why
Best scene of the movie. When the music starts, I always feel like choking up.
I think they used this song also in Highlander TV series when Duncan goes back to Scotland.
A beautiful episode.
That tv seria was so stupid and big failure ""
Serbian Alien no it wasn't, I just didn't like the final season. Really started going down hill win they eliminated Richie.
+Serbian Alien
Season 4 was the last good season. I don't know wtf happened during Season 5, but I stopped watching at Season 6 I think.
I'll have to rewatch it and just.. force myself through the last two seasons..
But Season 1-4 are great and some episodes are true solid golds.
Zeithri Adrian Paul took half of season 6 off 2 do 1 of the movies. Major miscalculation. Once they killed Richey off at the end of season 5, I had no interest in it. Bad enof they killed off Darius in the 1st season, which I liked that character & woulda like 2 c more of that 1 played out, but then killed off Tessa. I almost quit then. Richey's death meant there wouldn't b a spinoff with him in it, whole time it first aired, I was expecting that til his death, & meant all the original characters but Macs was gone. Wasn't the same anymore.
But wait, how did Richy come back in the final tv movie( which was horrible and Richy was played by another actor and a older one at that!!!) that put a closer on the TV series???
He had a chance to forge a new sword in the highlands of Scotland. He could've made a new claymore for himself, yet he went with a new katana.
I guess lighter and not as clunky.
@@RaikenXion that and that blade seen him through near 450 years of life and was his teachers. His first sword was one of many Claymore designs. They all didn't have the quatrefoil design on the hilt or even the great leaf overall design we've all seen on the two handed Claymore. The basket hilt single and double edged design came much later.
He spent over 400 years learning how to fight with a katana. It could be argued that he'd be a master of many weapons by then. But the katana holds special, personal meaning for him, so he would have even greater skill because of that focus.
His sword master, Ramirez, used a Katana. His Cousin Duncan uses one. He’s learned to master one over 400 years….
@@RaikenXion A katana has seen him through many years and battles.
It's way of showing that even though you're immortal life goes on and life finds a way
The song made it perfect for this scene. Really enjoyed the soothingness, comfortd the soul in a way
Would you happen to know the name of the song?
@@paulsheffield4729 Hi Paul, it’s this,

@@Cr4igpeterson
Thankyou so much Craig. That meant a lot to me
Well shit! i have to rewatch the movies now.. Highlander was my favorite movie when i was a little kid.
This really was a beautiful part of the film. Between the music and what was happening on screen, it really gets into the soul.
The most powerful moment of any of the movies. Right at the and of the clip. She knew who he is. Se knows. She figured it out despite centuries of obfuscation. She KNEW who he was. He did not reveal it, neither did he leave any particular clues. She knew, she knew him and she had some inkling of what she was getting into with him. This is not perfect, but it is more than we can say about many female protagonists.
A remake of the Highlander would be much more welcome than these never ending super hero movies they churn out every year.
one of the biggest reasons they haven't remade it, according to the cast, is "how do you replace/redo the soundtrack?"
@mrmegarock58, Agreed, everything in the last 5 years, other than John Wick and Deadpool has been woke trash
@mrmegarock58 This. They should just stop remaking movies tbh. At least the good ones. Redo something that sucked instead.
Henry Cavill agreed with this
You beat me to it.
Sometimes when I feel depressed, I come back to this video to ease the anxiety and frustration.
As a tax auditor, this is like watching an architect perform on the trapeze.
I love this music. Feel as if it’s calling me home!!!
As a man with a lot of Gaelic blood and a Japanese fiancé, this scene just hits right. This was the true sequel to Highlander. Song of the Gaels with Bonnie Portmore and Japanese katanas
What I like about it is, is that it reaches out back to highlander 1 where after Ramerez was killed by the Kurgan and Heather died, he went to Japan to train more on how to use a katana.
My favorite and the most underrated actor up to this day! The Prize for the Only One turned out to become Lord Raiden in the following year of 1995.
The soundtrack, so hauntingly beautiful
Always loved the use of Lorenna McKennitt's music in this film. Perfect Highlander vibe
Absolutely love the Highlander concept. They should of done so much more with the movies.
I won't lie, when Ramirez's original sword shattered, it was heartbreaking to see. It was like the last bit of his existence was lost forever. They did well in creating a sword that had a personal history with Macleod, but still, it will never be the same.
I won't lie either; I died laughing. The way the sword snaps then explodes just had me in tears. In story, it was heartbreaking. But like most things in this movie it was executed very poorly.
gutz1981. Whatever the weapon, it becomes a part of you. I dicovered it with my Kukury.
gutz1981 don't worry. This is a shit movie written by shit writers. Just ignore it. I do.
You mean the same sword that was basically falling apart in the first movie
CowabungaWo101 to be fair, MacLeod and Kanevwere committing a severe immortal no-no: fighting on Holy Ground. Under normal circumstances, nothing would shatter that blade, but the powers that be over the Game was letting know that it was Holy Ground and what they were doing was wrong.
I am from Bosnia ,and love this film and Scotland.Scotland and my Bosnia is two most beautiful lands on world.
Prior to filming Batman Begins, it is crystal clear Nolan did his homework with the first Highlander & this one. Makes me wish Lambert was Ra's al Ghul.
Watching this scene again makes me appreciate Highlander 3, Especially compared to the awful Star Wars sequel trilogy, In my Opinion, Highlander 3 had its storytelling together compared to the Star Wars sequel movies, In this particular scene that I loved - I must thank the RUclipsr Tomas Tree for posting this - We have the story of Macleod forging his new sword, Chris Lambert & Deborah Kara Unger tell this part of the story wonderfully, With the help of a good screen play by Brad Mirman, William Panzer, And Gregory Widen, This "Story within a Story" here Is shown In an entertaining way, The music was excellent also, It was by Lorena Mckennitt and Her band, I know one song was Bonny Portmore, And the other song was Instrumental music parts of the song "The Two Trees" If memory serves me correctly.
Anyway, I love Highlander 3, I love Lorena Mckennitt, And I particularly love this part of the film, I wish the writers Mirman, Panzer, And Widen were writing the Star Wars sequel trilogy, I think that they would have done a better job.
Here are links to the aforementioned songs by Mckennitt and her band:

ruclips.net/video/pLtVxQpXQtY/видео.html Bonny Portmore
I would say Connor wasn't paying too much attention when Mako was teaching him how to make his own Katana 👍
Well he was very frustrated on his first attempt. It was only when he saw Mako's mark on the ingot, that he got himself calmed down enough to properly remember what he was doing. He didn't want is friend's gift to go to waste in a fit of frustration.
The metals he'd been using were inferior, and resulted in inferior swords which Connor threw away in frustration. When he got the special metal bar, originally made by Mako, he knew he had the right metal, forged and folded all those centuries before. That's when he made a worthy successor to the original katana.
@@donaldstinnett5630You are correct. Going back and rewatching the movie I saw what you ere talking about. Good eye.
This man must of invested all of his skill points into blacksmithing to be able to forge a sword that fast.
He also forged wonderful relationships with pretty women too.
This movie was a much worthy sequel than number 2
We don't talk about number 2. Number 2 never happened.
There was no Highlander 2. They went straight to 3 due to some weird superstition.
chewie211171 highlander the quickening needs to be wiped off the face of existence it's the worst Highlander movie ever
Highlander 2 was absolute shit
Jason Garcia yep they completely destroyed Connor's history.
Its odd 2, they chose a Frenchman 2 play a Scot, but looking back, I can not imagine any1 else playing that role.
its his accent and the look, he looks and sounds like he has lived for 400 years all over the world
highjim couldn't agree more.
Alot of frenchmen are scots since before paris was ruled by the romans the gaelics had it and the normans of frankia and vikings head into scotland ireland and parts of north england all of europe shares one common ancestry warriors and explorers
darkmster 6 your going back to a whole other culture and time that's not even related in what I'm depicting, but I guess ur looking to pick a debate stemming from my comment, which a debate isn't even what I was or am interested in, only a passing thought.
Funnily enough I was just thinking the same thing and then i read your comment.
The Irish Song "Bonnie Portmon "Almost Makes Me Cry Every Time I Hear It "😔 ☘️ It's So Beautiful Yet So Sad
Outstanding movie and this is one of the best scenes.
Loreena McKennit's song fits this movie and the series very well.
It was also heard in Highlander 4: Endgame.
I love Lambert and how he made the role totally iconic. But seriously, the man did not pass at all for a Scotsman.
Yeah i think he's French. Still cool tho.
@@QoQabai658 Yes, Christopher Lambert (or as Brian May calls him - Christophe Lambert) is french, but he is "french-american", however he lived in different places like Geneva, Switzerland etc as a child since his father was the french ambassador to the United Nations
@@GenGamesUniversethat would actually make him well suited for someone like Connor, who has been in many different places and times.
I can't say much for this movie, but I can say this. It sparked my interest in approaching professional sword smiths, and asking them if they could forge me a metal ingot with their stamp emblazoned on it.
It’s amazing the tools and metals he left behind haven’t rusted away after all these centuries. Also, why didn’t she just bring him the sword blade as well?
Almost as amazing as how his sword never broke, chipped, or grew dull during all of its use until that one fight?
@@Asertix357 truth!
This scene gets the emotions going inside of me. It can't be helped.
Macleod: "I can't let people in"
Also Macleod: kissing a woman 2 seconds after saying this :D
He did say he can't let people in.
That doesn't mean he can't get in people.
Hey, he never said he didn't want in
any women (that was brutish...doesn't make it any less true).
@@sreckom92 Just read you beat me to the 👊.👌
That’s how we roll
@@alecmacleod9147 Connor's thoughts: shit. She's using a practical battering ram to get in. Doing her is going to happen any damn way, none of the standard push-away techniques are working. Might as well say the "line" enjoy it, and get it over with.
This is still one of my favourite scenes from the movie and very powerful, when she tells him I know who you are, even now still it gives me goosebumps.
I like how the film wen to a straight x rated scene right after this.
Lol
Yes the 80s and 90s were awesome. No action movie is complete without nudity.
The year after, she was in Crash. Highlander was just a practice run.....the entertainment biz has been pushing the porn envelope for 50 years. Gratuitous and unnecessary.
I like how the costume designer was like "Chunky puffer vest, YES. Ratty gray sweatshirt, YES."
Oh wait, there probably was no costume designer.
It amazes me who so many are willing to critique a movie that is fictional, as if any part of it was based on actual life history itself. Relax people it's a movie.
You mean it’s not real? No no no……I’ll bet you also think Santa is fake…..
The Highlands of Scotland and the music are both breathtaking!!!!
The message of this song; the destruction of old growth forests (those of Ireland in the song) really resonates in today's world.
Love this movie. Beautiful scenery plus Sean Connery... Christopher Lambert... beautiful Scotland. Queen soundtrack what else do you need.? RIP Sean 😎
I think this scene is awesome.
The smithing and swordplay might be poor, but it builds slowly while telling such a good story, without hardly a spoken word.
It does everything right that film making should do.
You have to remember, Lambert actually hurt himself a few times whilst doing the sword training scene as he has profound myopia.
LEGENDARY awesome movie...we all in heart some were deeply want to live forever...
" Trust me, You have no idea "
The sights in this sequence are overwhelmingly beautiful!
highlander 3.....the appology for 2
This is a pretty good 'Visit Scotland' commercial
This movie should be retitled Highlander 2 and Highlander endgame should be Highlander 3 endgame
Agreed!
Thinking back to this movie so many years ago, It is easy to forget what a great story concept this was. The individual movies after the first one went haywire but there were some great scenes throughout.
It stops at the best part!

You would think that Hollywood could do a little research into Blacksmithing!
They don't have time in a movie to cover everything and they know 99% of the audience doesn't know or care about the particulars of making a sword. Plus he's 500 years old, maybe he knows tricks to shorten the work.
@@davenoneya1092
Exactly so.
@@davenoneya1092 Or … montage!
Great movie, great song.
There will come a time when the bullets will run out when gun's will become nothing more than club's...the magic of the sword will return it's the only weapon that never needs reloading
If there came a time that bullets ever ran out, then people would simply revert to crossbows and bows for use as long range weapons.
Throwing sword's
If you can't kill your target, or at least put someone down long enough to get a closer & cleaner shot, shouldn't be wasting your bullets. Can't use it as a club if you can't put them down with the bullets.
One of the best scenes from all of the movies ... i love it ;) Thx for uploading
Still Legendary no matter what ppl says .i Agree its too cheesy . Only if thay had more better producer with little more seriouse story and details .This thema could be one of the best ever made on Film cinema . Actor is born for this rolle Cristopher Lambert was so intresting actor . he had something in the eyes and the voice also . He carry on the Rolle and brought something spetial with his character .But unfortunatly never had luck to work with seriouse producents . And still no matter what i grown up on this movie and the Highlander is movie of my youth .. :)
Id they make this movie now. The effects will be more better. But this has something
Ok, stand on top of that mountain and swing the sword around. Cool. Now row like a madman across the channel. Groovy. How about you run down the beach for a few miles? Or, let’s run up the mountain. This is GOLD!
Oh Scotsland calls to me!
Highlander end game has a cracking sound track and Scotland has fantastic scenery
He swings a hammer like my wife.
The true and best sequel to Highlander. Just needed Queen in it :)
He will always be the sexist Macleod ever!! Loved the series.
He started it all!!
Sexist?!?!!!?!!!? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Bonny portmore is such a beautiful song. Along with Two Trees
this is epic the best part of Highlander 3 music is fantastic
greetings from POLAND
Same to you from Spain.
She is fascinated watching Connor pounding on the anvil 😁!
Lambert didn't pay much attention during sword wielding classes. Putting his left leg in front all the time while striking with a right handed double grip lol
We use a variety of sources for our longsword and backsword training. Tend to favour right foot forward when striking from the right.
Nice to see an homogenous piece of steel used but a little hand and arm protection wouldn't have gone amiss.
Awesome scene, soundtrack, and Deborah Unger has been locked in my spank bank for years!
Give a few minutes....he'll have and Iron Man suit knocked up in no time.
I agree, takes more than a few hours to create a blade like that, more like weeks. She must have been bored watching him though!
I hear the elegance of the universe, as well as explore bodies of knowledge
Are you high?
I watch this for motivation and adrenalin rush
Recently started watching the series all over again.
I'm from the MacLovin clan , born on the hills of Rodeo drive.
Love how the tools are rust free after sitting in a cloth bag in a wet environment for decades.
Didn't you know the Scottish Highlands were world renowned for their stainless stell in the 1500's? 😅
They were rusted... not as much as they should have been, but people back then would wax or oil the canvas storage bags to protect the steel tools. They weren't as dumb as people may think....
Bonnie Portmore grips me in the feels every time I hear it.
The song? Yes! I didn't know the name of it. It's so poignant, I love it. Thank You.
Such a beautiful, haunting melody, so appropriate for these movies/TV series even though the words have no relevance whatsoever.
Yeah so beautyfull it almost better than the one that queen sing in the firts one "who want to live forever"
I've that on a disc along with 5 other short songs...to be played at my ( if ever ) funeral /wake... "No One knew we were among you. . .till Now. "
I knew it was Loreena McKennitt but wasn’t sure which song. Thanks
Christopher Lambert.......such a beautiful man! He takes my breath away!
I just enjoyed the music at the beginning of the video
