12 Dumbest Action Movie Weapons

12. Kurgan's Sword - Highlander

Let's start this on a positive opinion: the first Highlander film is an amazing concept. Alright, the execution is a bit wonky, and we never talk about the sequel, but its heart was in the right place.

That being said, there are some massive flaws that can't be ignored. Like how MacLeod can sit on a chair with a full length sword supposedly tucked in his coat, for example.

Yet one of the more feasible elements of this film is also one of the most impractical: the Kurgan's modern day sword.

I get that you can't walk around New York with a broadsword, so portability and discretion is advised. But its biggest weakness is well, its weakest point. it clips together in the middle. Presumably it can be unclipped to put away, right?

Surely you wouldn't buy it for a single assembly usage?

But if it can come apart with a bit of force, then it's really not fit for purpose as a sword. You know, those things you swing and hit objects with force.

That'd be embarrassing in the middle of a dual to the death.
