Highlander reboot?

Rabbit-holing while looking for some example transitions and came across these things I didn't know:

Director Russell Mulcahy started off his career making music videos, including the very first MTV outing, The Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star. He also directed many videos for Duran Duran, including Hungry Like the Wolf, The Wild Boys, Is There Something I Should Know, Save a Prayer, The Reflex, Rio and Planet Earth, Spandau Ballet’s True and The Vapors’ Turning Japanese.

To create the sparks when swords clashed, the actors were hooked up to car batteries (down by their feet). The wires ran up their arm sleeves—one negative and one positive—when the swords touched, voila! Because the sword handles would get hot and the actors received shocks, only so many takes could be completed.

Mulcahy said filming the stag “was a nightmare.” Because at the time of filming all stags had lost their horns, it was decided to glue on antlers. A veteranarian put the animal to sleep, the horns were glued on and then, they had to wait for it to awaken; once it did, all the deer wanted to do was shake off the antlers. During filming, the stag ran away and never came back. It was found later, 25 miles away and without the horns. Some of the stag scene (standing in water) is National Geographic stock footage.
