Screening of the 1986 cult film 'Highlander' with an introduction by Johann Chipol of Cult Film Club at The Quad.
The Quad is screening Highlander on Saturday 9 January, as part of the Cult Film Club. It's the 1986 film directed by Russell Mulcahy, and it'll be introduced by Johann Chipol before the film starts.
If you're not familiar with the plot, it follows Connor MacLeod, a Scottish clansman who survives a fatal wound in the Highlands in 1536 and discovers he belongs to a group of immortals. They're destined to battle until only one remains, and MacLeod gets his training from the Spanish swordsman Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, played by Sean Connery. It's the one that gave us the 'there can be only one' line, so you've probably heard of it even if you've never seen it.
The screening is part of Cult Film Club, which is QUAD's bi-monthly cinematic journey through infamous cult films and hidden gems. It's been running since 4 July 2026, so this is one of the later entries in the series. The club's whole thing is to dig into those kinds of titles—the ones that might not have been huge hits at the time but have built up their own following over the years.
