What's the best movie about kilt-wearing Scotsmen? Let's figure it out with the help of a handy chart!
| "Braveheart" | "Highlander" |
Director | Mel Gibson | Russell Mulcahy |
Advantage: Highlander. We have no idea who Mulcachy is, but at least he is not a raging antisemite. |
Star | Mel Gibson | Christopher Lambert |
Advantage: Highlander. Lambert's accent is more believable. Also: see above. |
Love Interest | Sophie Marceau | Roxanne Hart |
Advantage: Braveheart. If only Roxanne was Jewish... Whatever happened to her anyway? |
Historical Accuracy | Attempted | Not attempted |
Advantage: Highlander. Ius Primae Noctis, Mel? Damn the legacy of King Edward! |
Beheaded | Mel Gibson | Various |
Advantage: Braveheart. Truly the best part of the film. |
Time Travel | No | Yes |
Advantage: Highlander. Duh. |
Sean Connery | No | Yes |
Advantage: Highlander. Wow, this one is a landslide! |
