Great oxymorons of our time


#117 in a series.

In Highlander an American plays the highlander and the pre-eminent Scottish actor plays a Spanish-Egyptian Conquistador.

Yes, Christophe Lambert is American, he was born on Long Island. Whenever I hear Sean Connery ask "what is haggis?" I cringe. Likewise for the Freedom speech from Braveheart. Don't even talk to me about Rob Roy.

You want true movie Scotland? Watch Shallow Grave or Trainspotting, those are accurate.
