Here are the answers to the HIGHLANDER QUIZ.  Thanks to those who attempted the
quiz, your replies were generally accurate and in some cases forced us to
reconsider our answers.  Variations in spelling of names etc are unavoidable as
often we are going only on the soundtrack.  Let us know if you disagree with our
answers in any way, and we apologize for any errors.
Here we go then...

1. How many immortals are there in Highlander?
> There are six: Conner, Ramirez, Kurgan, Kastigir, Faziel, and the
non-starring (apart from a photograph) Polish national Vasilek.
2. How old is Conner when he first goes into battle?
> This is a tricky one.  Conner says after his near-death experience to
 Dougal:"We've been kinsmen 20 years..." so he appears to be 20. But, when he
 reveals himself (in more ways than one!) to Brenda he says:"I was born in
 1518..." As the initial battle is in 1536 (as told by the priest as the
 soldiers leave the village), he is only 18!  Unspotted mistake or what?
3. What is the motif on the battleflag of the Frasers?  
> Three  mountain daisies, or a similar flower.
4. What is the weight of the wrestling tag team introduced at the start of
   the movie? 
>We meant the second tag-team, as they're the ones whose weight
 we hear the announcer mention, and that is 745 pounds.
5. What are the names of Conner's two cousins?
> Dougal and Angus. We assume Angus is a cousin, but he might be an uncle or
 something else - there's a lot of inbreeding in these medieval Highland
 villages!
6. Where was Brenda born? 
> Somewhere in Pennsylvania, according to her biography on her book-jacket. 
 The exact town or city we cannot tell for sure, but it's possibly Scranton.
7. What is Brenda's full name? 
> Brenda Jesica Elizabeth Wyatt.
8. What are the different names Conner has assumed  since he arrived in
   America? 
> These appear on the computer screen when Brenda and the computer
 geek Rick are researching on Russell Nash.  The names are: Adrian Montague,
 Jaques Lefebiet, Alfred Nicholson, Rupert Wellingford, and Russell Nash.
9. Who was the ruler to whom Ramirez was chief metallurgist?
> King Charles the Fifth of Spain.
10. What was the name of Ramirez' first wife's father?
> Masimuni or Masamuni, we can't agree on the spelling. (Troy in Georgia
 pointed out to us that it was in fact his last wife... our mistake)
11. What is Ramirez' full name?
> Juan Sanchez Vilalobos Ramirez.
12. What is the mean absorbancy rating of the metal Brenda is testing?
> It's 2611, whatever that means.
13. Under what name does The Kurgan check in to the hotel?
> Victor Kruger (probably a relation of Freddy!)
14. What Queen song, not on the album soundtrack, IS played during the movie?
> Hammer to Fall is played while the Vietnam survival nut is cruising the city
 in his car.  Also played was New York New York, either is correct.
15. According to The Kurgan, what trait do nuns lack? 
>"Nuns...no sense of humour."

21. What is Rachel's last name? 
>Ellenstein.
22. What is Brenda's "usual", at the bar? 
>I'm afraid we do not actually know. The bottle and the glass she has it in 
 suggests some sort of brandy or fortified wine, but other than that... 
 Can anybody help?
23. What is the last piece of advice given to Conner by Brenda prior to the
    battle with Kurgan? 
>Don't lose your head.(Surprise, surprise.)
24. What is Kurgan's standard greeting to his female prey? 
>"Hello, pretty..."
25. What does the sign, to which Brenda was tied, spell?  
>SILVERCUP. What is this?  Is Silvercup a brandname, a place or what?
26. Who directed Highlander? 
>An easy one - Russell Mulcahy.
27. Who was the BEST BOY? 
>Dave Moore.  If you knew this one without refering to the credits you are a

38. What is the rough translation of the Nazi's last words?
>"No, you will have to shoot me first."

> "Whatever you say Jack, you're the master race."  BLAM, BLAM, BLAM!

44. Complete these famous Highlander quotes:

      exactly famous, but what the hell!)

47. If Conner was a human, how would he have died the first two times?
>Stabbed by the Kurgan, and being drowned by the rather callous Ramirez.
48. Similarly for the Kurgan, how many times would Kurgan have died in the
    fight with Ramirez?
> This depends on whether you think that the lightning hitting him would have
 killed him, or whether it was still part of the Quickening. He first has his
 throat cut by Ramirez, then falls from the stairs, then is stabbed by Ramirez,
 then is hit by lightning, and finally falls as the stairway collapses: a
