His range is absolutely crazy he's so good. From roles like this where he's an incredible Villain to Mr.Krabs from sponge bob. Clancy is a extremely great actor.
Clancy Brown is great. And it’s hilarious knowing that he’s also the voice of Mr Krabs from SpongeBob Squarepants along with Lex Luthor in Superman the Animated Series and Justice League.
The Kurgan was so iconic that the Highlander franchise was never able top top him. They came close with a few villans in the series, but they never had an distinct look to match their character like the Kurgan.
I hope Clancy Brown decided in this role he was going to be THE bad ass of all baddies especially with lines like - its better to burn out, then fade away!
I think the problem with that is that most/all sequels were utterly shit! Although I would say Michael Ironside was the 2nd best as general Katana....even if that movie was notoriously horrendous lol
I always wanted to build my own Kurgan costume but never had good enough pictures to work from, now seeing this as a whole project has me crapping my pants about where to start!
Oh man, I always loved highlander and The Kurgan in particular. Clancy Brown was just such an iconic villain in that film. Lovely to see the details in his costume!
Highlander is my number 1 movie of all time and now I am jealous that you get to see the hero suit for The Kurrgan. My dream prop is a replica of the sword he uses for most of the movie.
Greatest armour in a movie ever. I am fanboying over this being the subject of an entire video. That helmet is just next level. Right out of a Heavy Metal comic cover.
So amazing to see the Kurgan's armour from one of my favourite films - Highlander! I've always felt a connection to him as my grandfather's middle name was Kirgan. :D "There can be only one!"
Had the pleasure of meeting Adam at the Brisbane Australia SupaNova Comic-Con Expo last weekend. (If anyone saw me, I was the person with ginger-brown long hair wearing a Ghost In The Shell/RoboCop mashup t-shirt) Was an absolute delight and pleasure to meet a pure hearted gentleman that was Adam, thanks for the compliment on my t-shirt and the very nice words congratulating me on recently beating a cancerous brain tumour. These videos have been a great way on rediscovering my passions and helping regain confidence in my works as a content creator and hobbies on messing around with mechanical and electronic devices. (such as cars for example) All the best Adam and crew, Jude Howarth
Hey JT, saw you on the weekend! Loved the shirts you had on. (You looked amazing as Hannah/girl mode on Sunday) Was good to catch up, hopefully next con we can do it again.
@@tested That's genuinely made my day. He was a true highlight of the Convention weekend. Hopefully him and I can run into each other again sometime soon. (and yes, I did end up buying that custom made poster of him as Rick Deckard)
It surreal to remember all the iconic live action roles Clancy Brown has had while being so use to his voice acting. I said his name and my friends didnt recognize it until I rattled off some of his iconic roles. Though I think the Kurgan was the one that clicked with them
One of those strange, beautiful 80s action movies that never really needed a sequel. Having said that the TV show is pretty decent if you're looking for more Highlander that doesn't break the lore too much.
The Kurgan was cocky and thought he was invincible, especially back in the period when he wore the suit. What is funny is that he does have a neck scar where someone came close to giving him the King Louis XVI treatment.
@ It was Sean Connery that gave him the scar in that in the fight that mostly destroyed the castle. Ironically, Sean is the only Scottish person in “Highlander” and he’s supposed to be from Egypt.
Palaeontologist here. The helmet and pauldrons are loosly based on a some sort of feline, but I believe them to be sculpted. The knee skull and jaws though, look to be impressions (cast) from a real dear skull.
I met my wife in 1990. I was dressed as a saxon in mail taking part in a battle practice at the downs in Bristol, she looked at me and in a mad moment I likcked her arm " I am a worm" she laughed and 34 years later I have to thank the kurgan for a great marriage 👍
Clancy Brown is one of those actors that make you hate the villain with a burning passion. To me that is the gold standard for a villain, that you hate the villains after the movie ends. Mad respect for him and his works.
then theres the even rarer actor that makes you hate the villian so much you have a dislike for the actor for playing them too well lol *ramsey bolton*
What a fabulous costume,Clancy Brown has been a favourite actor of mine since he played the Kurgan, I dread to think how much it'll go for,sadly I haven't got near enough money to even contemplate bidding for it.😊
"Hollywood has done skull helmets numerous times, never as good as this". Come on Adam! Don't forget about General Kael from Willow! I'd say on par in the skull helmet department with Kurgan.
@@dogenjinn4806Yeah The quickening was awful at least with Highlander 3the sourcer it went back to it,s roots of going back/forth from present to past timeline. Unlike in Highlander 2the quickening whereby it ignored all of that/it was all set in the future timeling amongst many other of that terrible films failings as well
Absolutely brilliant to see it all together. It looked too difficult to copy though so I cosplay the later, bald Kurgan. I wish I could find some pirate boots!
There's no way this guy hasn't tried this on at least once 😂 If I bought this and it arrived on my doorstep: "Thanks Mr. Delivery Guy, have a nice rest of your day!" 3 minutes later - "ANOTHER TIME MACLEOOOOOD!!!"
The kungen is a great villian not because he is done right, but because he is done real. Real human actions what if a sociopath lived 4ever? Their ego and cheesy crap would be over the top. Because why would they hold bad? Clancey didnt kno it but he played it PERFECTLY. Eventhough its cheesy its perfect for real life
After more information has come out surrounding Carlos Hathcock, there was a group of people that retested the myth. You guys tried on MythBusters and proved it not only plausible but confirmed in the first try. I should suggest that you watch it as it’s actually really cool.
One of the most bad ass suits of armour ever put to film. It's up there with General Kael's armour from Willow and Dracula's armour from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
The Kurgan definitely collected trophies. In the modern era section of Highlander, you can see Ramirez's pearl ear ring attached to his leather jacket.
My favorite scene from Highlander was when McLeod and the Kurgan had their chat in the church. Kurgan, who comes across as a savage, lets his IQ show when he calls Ramirez the immortal "an effete snob." From that moment on, you look for more clues, and it really fleshes out his character.
OKAY. Nerdiest project idea (probably not original): Create a database for prop component usage over film. Like tracking the Wilhelm Scream of props. What other productions had that belt been used in? Good luck!
The Kurgan was one of the few "Bad Guys" that scared me as a kid ... such a great villain indeed!!! Like many others have probably said or sill say later, Clancy made that character!!
2:55 I thought he said “when he first see him he’s on horseback and it must’ve given him an erection” lmao I was like “Wuuuut?! They designed the costume to accommodate that?!” Lmfaoo I’m very sleepy. Time for bed. Hahaha
Does he or his shop have the jacket / vest Kurgan wore when he came into NY? It sports the trophies he took from other immortals throughout the ages! Cool Kurgan outfit! Do you have a sword to go with the costume
Great long term project! I remember when the Kurgan’s sword came up for auction. Does anyone know what happened to Rutger Hauer’s trench coat from Blade Runner?
As in who won Batty's coat when it came up in 2022? I know Ryan Condal shared on his collecting podcast that he went after it and lost. I'd imagine the owner of the hero blaster Dan Lanigan might have as well, so he could be a half-way decent bet. But I haven't heard who won.
It's the Scythian/ Sarmatian influences that shine through. We are, after all, dealing with people who turned the skulls of their enemies into drinking cups and the flayed skins of their enemies as saddle clothes. Human skin was used for other items, and they favoured skin from their enemies' hands for items such as arrow quivers.
I'm actually subscribed to a few auction sites for arms and armour mostly, but the other day I got a catalogue through for this auction. The prices are waaay out of my league though...

Clancy is one of those character actors who doesn't always get the proper respect he deserves. Everything he does is absolutely incredible !!!
His range is absolutely crazy he's so good. From roles like this where he's an incredible Villain to Mr.Krabs from sponge bob. Clancy is a extremely great actor.
He's fantastic, that's for sure
Growing up, I thought Clancy Brown in Highlander was THE villain of villains, what an incredible actor that dude is.
Hes amazing, also scared me in Shawshank as a kid 😂
He definietly was, none of the other evil immortals even came close to the Kurgan.
He's definitely one of my favorite actors. And to think he's also the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob. 🤣
Recently saw him in Dexter : New Blood.
Clancy Brown is great. And it’s hilarious knowing that he’s also the voice of Mr Krabs from SpongeBob Squarepants along with Lex Luthor in Superman the Animated Series and Justice League.
"It's better to burn out, than to fade away!"
“Mom.”
Remember what Ramirez taught you!
"I am a worm."
"Nuns. No sense of humor."
Happy Halloween ladies !
"Nuns. No sense of humour." Man, I just LOVE seeing these pieces from classic films. Hats off to you, Adam!
The Kurgan was so iconic that the Highlander franchise was never able top top him. They came close with a few villans in the series, but they never had an distinct look to match their character like the Kurgan.
I think Kurgan has best look as bald hooligan. Contemporary and creepy.
I hope Clancy Brown decided in this role he was going to be THE bad ass of all baddies especially with lines like - its better to burn out, then fade away!
I think the problem with that is that most/all sequels were utterly shit! Although I would say Michael Ironside was the 2nd best as general Katana....even if that movie was notoriously horrendous lol
Highlander is one of those 80’s movies holds a very special place in my memory & Kurgan’s armor is one of the most badass in all of cinema!
I always wanted to build my own Kurgan costume but never had good enough pictures to work from, now seeing this as a whole project has me crapping my pants about where to start!
one of my all time favorite movies!
Dawn Yes!

I don't know; Anubis and Horus in "StarGate" are *really* close.
Skull helmet from willow was better in my opinion
So cool that Clancy Brown is actually on a Queen album (A Kind Of Magic) because he was The Kurgan
“I know his name!” 😂
Kurgan's hero armor.... there can only be one!
So amazing to see the Kurgan's armour from one of my favourite films - Highlander!
I've always felt a connection to him as my grandfather's middle name was Kirgan. :D

We passed your comment on to Adam. He remembers you! Thanks for your kind words, and for taking the time to express them.
@@Bartman954 Thanks Greg, was great to see you too!

As a Brit and massive fan of the show, I would love to hear Adam's thoughts on those Red Dwarf miniatures. 😁👌
Impressive, Stephen did a wonderful job bringing all those pieces back together again.

Honestly Clancy stole every scene he was in!!!! That suit of armour is such a wonderful piece of nostalgia.
From the Kurgan, to Lex Luthor, to Mr. Crabs….. Mr. Brown has it all. The man is an icon
He was a Viking in Pathfinder
Would love to see Clancy Brown reunited with his Costume
Yes... but lets keep him away from the sword. I remember how he was in the movie with that thing. :D
@johnanon6938 He might take someone's Head.
I always wondered why there wasn’t more emphasis on neck armor. Kinda important for an “immortal.”
The Kurgan was cocky and thought he was invincible, especially back in the period when he wore the suit. What is funny is that he does have a neck scar where someone came close to giving him the King Louis XVI treatment.
I guess living forever wouldn’t be as great as it sounds. They probably looked forward to the eventual release.
@ It was Sean Connery that gave him the scar in that in the fight that mostly destroyed the castle. Ironically, Sean is the only Scottish person in “Highlander” and he’s supposed to be from Egypt.
I love Highlander.
Absolutely amazing to see this suit together again, kudos to the 15 years of reassembly! Of course, there can be only One! 🗡️
"I see my cut has improved your voice!"
I love the details on this one. Like they said, it looks like he put it together over his existence piece by piece.
"I want it all ... I want it all ... I want it all ... AND I WANT IT NOW!"
Very surprised to see the Ace Rimmer ship here, and in such good condition! Those old BBC minitures where not made to last
The miniture versions of that got bought by other people on Prop gallery,s website.... i think
Palaeontologist here. The helmet and pauldrons are loosly based on a some sort of feline, but I believe them to be sculpted. The knee skull and jaws though, look to be impressions (cast) from a real dear skull.
The Highlander is one of my favorite movies. Clancy Brown as Kurgan was awesome.
I met my wife in 1990. I was dressed as a saxon in mail taking part in a battle practice at the downs in Bristol, she looked at me and in a mad moment I likcked her arm " I am a worm" she laughed and 34 years later I have to thank the kurgan for a great marriage 👍
Sounds like standard practice for a Bristolian
Can't wait for Adam to look at the Predator costume that they keep teasing in the background.
Same here. Lol
I am so excited to see this. You might be able to guess why...
I never see new content about the Kurgan, this is awesome!
Clancy Brown is one of those actors that make you hate the villain with a burning passion. To me that is the gold standard for a villain, that you hate the villains after the movie ends. Mad respect for him and his works.
You might hate him, but you still want to hang around with him, no matter how dangerous it might be
then theres the even rarer actor that makes you hate the villian so much you have a dislike for the actor for playing them too well lol *ramsey bolton*
@egor102 I have actually found that the more I hate a character, the better I end up liking the actor. They are that good.
"I'm candy" "of course you are"
Damn, they said hello to each other about a million times that day :D
my favourite film of all time thank you thank you adam!
Incredible villain, incredible actor, incredible armor.
Omg my favorite costume piece in all of cinema. Awesome!
Hi im Candy.. of course you are.. what a villain the Kurgan was
What a fabulous costume,Clancy Brown has been a favourite actor of mine since he played the Kurgan, I dread to think how much it'll go for,sadly I haven't got near enough money to even contemplate bidding for it.😊
Just checked the catalogue. Opening bid is £25,000, estimate is £50-100,000.
Had completely forgotten about highlander but what a fantastic movie it was.
It's A Kind Of Magic on the stereo, waiting for mum to get home.
Epic movie. Great acting, magnificent story, FANTASTIC music. Absolutely one of the very best 👍
"Hollywood has done skull helmets numerous times, never as good as this".
Come on Adam! Don't forget about General Kael from Willow! I'd say on par in the skull helmet department with Kurgan.
Adam
Omg this the best look I’ve ever seen at this armor! This is amazing
There can be only one!
There can be only one!
I kind of not understand what you guys mean with "first" Highlander movie. There was only one ever made.
There can be only one.
Um... I'm guessing denial is a powerful thing.
"From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to forget the second movie..."
@@dogenjinn4806Yeah The quickening was awful at least with Highlander 3the sourcer it went back to it,s roots of going back/forth from present to past timeline.

Never clicked faster on a video unless it was Star Wars related...phucking love Highlander!
"There can be only ONE!"
Oh still in my top 5 movies of all time
I have Never wanted to own a prop so much in my life !
I can't wait until you show us his Mr. Krabs outfit in the next video!
I want that Nostromo shirt so bad
Absolutely brilliant to see it all together. It looked too difficult to copy though so I cosplay the later, bald Kurgan. I wish I could find some pirate boots!
My favorite armor of all time . I haven't seen another armor set that ketches my attention since kurgens. Its amazing
There's no way this guy hasn't tried this on at least once 😂
If I bought this and it arrived on my doorstep:
"Thanks Mr. Delivery Guy, have a nice rest of your day!"
3 minutes later -
"ANOTHER TIME MACLEOOOOOD!!!"
Wooooow was NOT expecting to see that in my feed 🤯
The kungen is a great villian not because he is done right, but because he is done real. Real human actions what if a sociopath lived 4ever? Their ego and cheesy crap would be over the top. Because why would they hold bad? Clancey didnt kno it but he played it PERFECTLY. Eventhough its cheesy its perfect for real life
I have no idea how often I watched the movie, but I never realized the armor had nipples.
Won the academy award for best movie ever!
The helmet without the Kurgan's face look freaking terrifying. 😱
With the face even more 😂
Props to EMLA for tracking down all the pieces for that long time! Worth the wait!
Ok...as jaded as I am, that is pretty badass. 👍
Happy Halloween ladies

Emotional Support Kurgan!! 😂
He is the perfect warrior
Great piece, well done getting it all together
One of the best movies ever
please do a bit on the space ship from red dwarf please!
One of the most bad ass suits of armour ever put to film. It's up there with General Kael's armour from Willow and Dracula's armour from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Highlander and Predator in the same universe would make such an Epic movie .. maybe someday
They would mess it up like Alien vs predator.
astounding!

Magnificent. Legendary
The Kurgan was one of the few "Bad Guys" that scared me as a kid ... such a great villain indeed!!! Like many others have probably said or sill say later, Clancy made that character!!
"Hello Adam, I'm Steven!"
"Of course you arrre."
Looks really good !

No less than... Awesome.
The Kurgan is one of the best villains of all time.
I'd bet that armour would look pretty awesome on Adam Savage 😘
General Kael from Willow had a rad skull helmet too!
My favorite movie when I was a kid.
What I would REALLY love to see is Clancy Brown coming in and reacting to this/talking about it. His thoughts about the costume from back in the day.
I'd be interested to hear if the teeth on the pauldrons got in the way when he raised his arms.
Mr. Krabs is a great actor. 🦀 🗡️
Great long term project! I remember when the Kurgan’s sword came up for auction.
Does anyone know what happened to Rutger Hauer’s trench coat from Blade Runner?

I met a fellow named Kruger recently and he had no idea who Victor Kruger was.
"The highlander was a documentary and the events happened in real time."
Is that on DVD or Blu-ray? 🤨
Now I really want to see a Kurgan vs Predator fanfilm 😂
I'm actually subscribed to a few auction sites for arms and armour mostly, but the other day I got a catalogue through for this auction. The prices are waaay out of my league though...
