Today I make the Kurgan's sword as seen in the 1986 movie Highlander!
I have always liked the look and style of the Kurgan- but I am glad he didn't win the prize.
Its a full EVA / What The Foam build with a graphite tube core.

The movie that came afterwards kinda helped add at least one fairly good sequel to the movie collection. But yeah Clancy Brown seemed like he was 8 feet tall in the movie... or maybe Christopher Lambert was just really short.

This might be a pain to do, but I think it'd make things more accurate. For the grips on swords like this, you could use a smaller diameter pvc pipe but squash it some so that it was an oval or pill shape of the right width and align that with the blade when you attach it. The grips on real bladed weapons aren't round and I doubt the movie prop had a round grip either. Just a suggestion for future builds. :)

Highlander is one of my favorite movies of all time, so much so I have reproductions of both of Connor's swords. His Macleod family sword and a cheaper, non-film accurate katana that has the dragon head handle finished in more of a bronze color, not even the right handguard on it, but still pretty cool. Also came with two smaller blades that also had the same handle as the full length katana, but they just cut the handles shorter for each, but kept the dragon's head on the pommel.

@@Ironlantern723 That's the order you would put it in, but I don't have to.

The anime comes after the fifth and the animated series after that. (Not accounting for any flashback scenes that shift the timeline.) As for order of release, the live action show comes after the second movie, followed by the animated series, then Highlander III, then The Raven, Highlander IV and the anime precedes Highlander V by a few months.

The one that came apart was just for the one scene for obvious reasons. The reason there was a dull one and a “chromed” one, is simple. In most shows and movies there is a stunt sword and a hero sword. The stunt is made of aluminum usually, lightweight and dull of course, and used for the fight scenes. The hero is made of polished steel in this case, and looks closer to what a real sword would look like and used for closeup shots on screen.

The pop up blades have never been reproduced by ANY of the makers of this sword simply because that feature is considered switch blade territory even though the working ones in the movie were undoubtedly made in aluminum and only seen “working” in one scene. Your cross-guard is not accurate to the screen used sword. I’m guessing that the propstore didn’t give you pictures of it from both sides. If it had you would have seen that the points at center are different from side to side: one points directly out and is shorter than the other(front point) the other curves up slightly.

Static guard "mechanism" was definitely the right choice. That's the Kurgan. Folded up, it's just a sword. And a spring mechanism would add a two second "Wow!" until "Hey, its the Kurgan sword." Better to keep it as recognizable as possible, in my layman's opinion. :-)

@mikaeljames
@mikaeljames 2 года назад
Awesome build Oden! I know the answer to why there were multiple swords thought. The chrome one is called the "hero" sword. They would've made that one for closeup shots. Those shots where you focused on the sword or it was a really powerful shot or what have you. The broken down sword was just for the purpose of being broken down and that whole "gag". From having stage combat as part of my degree, the 3rd sword was the actual combat sword. Its lighter and duller because of the choreography. The choreography takes soooooooo long, not only to memorize the scene, but to make sure you can do it without hurting someone thus for being a dull blade too (even though the blade still hurts and can cut you, trust me I know it first hand, or left hand lol) but its lighter as well due to all the training with it. As the rule goes for film making, for one minute of screen time or one minute of choreography, you must have trained for over 20hrs. Now if you've ever held a sword, one of mine specifically is a claymore (a very long sword that causes tons of damage, which is where we get the name for a claymore mine) which is a reproduction (not the actual weight) weights about 15-20lbs. Now then, try runnining the choreography for over 20hrs (which ends up being most likely 40-50hrs) for your one minute of screen time scene, youre going to totally sore and worn out. Granted the smaller blades are a lil lighter but not that much for an actual real blade 10-15lbs + if it were real, so they make they lighter to about 8lbs or so but at the end of training for say 8hrs you are still tired and wore out. So for anyone who might say "oh those action stars don't do much" lol they do tons! Except for the case of Jordie Molla in "Columbiana" I have first hand knowledge he didnt train for that fight scene and Zoe did all the training she could which is why he looks horrible and she looks incredible which she is always! lol

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they did use the break-down sword in the fight scenes. That film (one of my all time favorites) wasn't known for their safety protocols. Heck, they got the swords to spark by hooking the blades up to car batteries & running the cables in the actors' sleeves. Christopher Lambert reportedly got electrocuted at least once.
@mooneyes2k478
@mooneyes2k478 2 года назад
It's likely that what the sword was made out of was "duraluminum/duralium/duralumin", a "durable aluminium". That's an early trade name for an age-hardened alu-copper alloy. The name isn't used any longer.

Something I've noticed from a lot of DIY RU-vidrs, sacrificing quality of the project just to get a video out on time. Most viewers don't care about the time release of a video.

Wait you don't know why they made steel heavier swords? I figured you'd know this kinda thing? Heavier steel blades are usually made for hero shots as they would be made like am actual sword and thus look closest to the real thing in a shot. Of course if your Viggo Mortenson you'd use the heavy hero sword for everything because mad man, but usually they are the ones that are made the real thing to look the real thing when needed. Really surprised you didn't know this.
