The Flatulent Guardian.

Warning: Spoilers
Being a huge fan of the Lambert Highlander series, I had to watch this although I've never seen Adrian in the TV series. Gave this 5 stars because its so bad its good and will provide lots of laughs. First off, Adrian Paul is good, in fact he was probably 90% of the budget. The Guardian seems cool near the beginning where he kills a highlander after announcing "There Can Be Only Me" but when you get a good look at him and hear his voice, he's like a punk rocker with a double lobotomy (thats a slice down the middle and a left-to-right slice). Its cool that he can zip around at about 10X speed but when he does you hear this sound like a playing card in a bicycle, or a drawn-out fart (is that how they did this sound effect?). OK, it post-apocalyptic and these highlanders team up and cruise around is a shitty old sedan. Do immortals need a car? They find out the "Elder" has knowledge of the "Source" so they travel to this Transylvania looking monastery which looks like it was repossessed from Count Alucard himself and lo and behold, Duncan MacLeod's ex-wife shows up by coincidence and they drive their crummy vehicle through this like 100 Ton door and the monkeys inside stand there like they're thinking "Come On In" and they go inside to see the Elder and the Elder looks like a flattened version of Jabba the Hut! (Actually the Elder ate all the Sauce is why they can't find it -source). Anyhow they continue their search in some woods full of cannibals and they all get tied up by these drunken stOOpiD slob cannibals. They get away, that is the idiot cannibals let their "Food" run away! Oh, I forgot to mention the Cardinal Giovanni character would get his head lopped off by me just for having an OBNOXIOUS HAIRCUT! There's another youngish immortal traveling with them and he appears to be a moron, but with a twist - he explains to Duncan's wife that he is very bright, but just acts stupid! Shortly after the Guardian takes his moronic butt out. There's a scene where Duncan's wife and he are having a romantic conversation and its about as authentic as a 3-cent piece. Don't miss this great comedy!
