So many particulars. So many questions.
Not sure who you'd cast as the title character for a remake. Wouldn't bring back Lambert, for one. Wonder if The Rock would make a decent Kurgan...

Read that back to yourself and you have the answer.

Worth it for Connery alone, never mind Clancy Brown hamming it up to fuck, Lambert's weird accent(s), and the terrific soundtrack

I don’t know what to tell you. It was a different time. I don’t know if I could think myself back into those times. I don’t know if those times could be real for someone now. But if there’s even a chance, you must take it!

Nope - It was one of a few throwaway lines, along with "It's a kind of magic", in the short video of rushes/rough edits that was handed around potential candidates for scoring the film after the Thorn-EMI failure and their uncompleted films being sold to Cannon resulted in the original musicians walking away from the project.
They were never particularly interested in it TBH but amongst the conditions of Thorn-EMI taking-on the film was that they had control of cinematographers and the score had to come from one of the artists on their roster.
The story is that Cannon passed the tape round a load of acts, including Brian May, who had scored one of their Death Wish movies previously. He initially refused but agreed to let the rest of Queen see it and Freddie picked-up on these lines and said something to the effect of "I can get a song out of that!" - the rest is history.
My source was Jon Melville, the historian of the Highlander franchise, who I had the pleasure of working with last year.

It's brilliant and shit.
If you like brilliantly shit films, would say watch it.
Finally got a second hand dvd of it recently. Maybe saving it for beery Halloween or Xmas.

Is that an official post or a self appointed one?

No one seems sure when Freddie found out he had AIDS, but the closest we seem to get to it is April 1987, though he may have exhibited symptoms much earlier, and therefore suspected it himself.Nope - It was one of a few throwaway lines, along with "It's a kind of magic", in the short video of rushes/rough edits that was handed around potential candidates for scoring the film after the Thorn-EMI failure and their uncompleted films being sold to Cannon resulted in the original musicians walking away from the project.

Whether he did or didn’t suspect he had the condition at the time of writing songs for Highlander, the ‘who wants to live forever’ line seems very much in keeping with his attitude to life, from his not insubstantial debauchery away from the limelight in New York, to Peter Freestone’s stories of entire fridges in Garden Lodge stocked to the brim with champagne in case the need for such presented itself. Brian May’s typically understated epitaph to him on his statue on Lake Geneva, ‘lover of life, singer of songs’ points to this too. Imho anyway.

Hereditary, passed down through the third sons of the Masters of Ballantyre.

Iirc, one of the music magazines used to have a kind of catty/gossipy/lolz page and that one week, in the mid 80s, the page reported Freddie in tears at a party/or his own birthday. Not clear which. Just remember thinking it was nasty, laughing at someone's unhappiness.

Not sure if I've ever watched this film. Is it worth watching or is it terrible?

You'd know if you seen it.
There's a good thread that might help you make your mind up:

There are numerous fights with seagulls, so maybe give it a miss

I’d say it’s worth watching. Most of it is good, and when it isn’t, another Queen song kicks in to make it good again.

The Kurgan is an ott villain and clearly was an influence on John Hicklenton's disturbing artwork for Nemesis the Warlock, so there's that to recommend.
Apparently there's a whole franchise if you're really blown away by it.
