HIGHLANDER & HIGHLANDER 2: THE QUICKENING

Highlander: is as good as a film gets in my opinion. Good cast, well directed and a score to die for. But its action scenes rule supreme. PETER DIAMOND is stunt coordinator in the UK and VIC MAGNOTTA is the coordinator in the US. We try to explore a bit more about this movie by talking to another big name that was part of the shoot. 2nd Unit Director ANDY ARMSTRONG who explains how he got the job and what it meant to him.Highlander 2 The Quickening:is a sequel that could have done without being made. The success of the first film begged for a follow up but the script didn't allow for a great deal of fluidity when it came to story. Action is coordinated by ERNIE ORSATTI who brings in stuntmen like TOMMY HUFF to double Lambert and ROCKY TAYLOR to double Connery. We also chat to villain Michael Ironside about his role in the stunts on the picture.https://linktr.ee/behindthestunts<<<<<THIS EPISODE DOES CONTAIN ADULT SWEAR WORDS (F-BOMBS) in case children are with you when listening >>>>>>>If you've enjoyed this episode then why not follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook using the following linkhttps://linktr.ee/behindthestunts
