What would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire?

I didn't say he was - I was suggesting him as an alternative, he has immortality (almost), but without the vampire downsides.

Its not a great alternative, Id hate to have a Kurgen after me the whole time.
Plus the Prize was rubbish.

If I got to have a go on the Kate Bekinsale character from said film then a vampire I would be (to the tune of the Monty Python traindriver song) :D

Yeah but the man she had a go with is a werewolf.
 
Aha - so you could be getting followed around by Van Helsing for eternity.......

Im still more afraid of the Kurgen - he was just such a horrible looking character!!! Mind you I could hide in church and be safe as Highlander, no chance of that as a vampire.

Highlander eventually defeated Kurgan in 1985.
 
I would most definitely rather be a werewolf, having six dogs/cats in a small cottage, I am already used to finding hair everywhere, on my clothes, in my food, in my bed etc so shedding wouldn't be an issue - plus I wouldn't like to live forever!. :D

Yes - but that resulted in him winning the Prize and losing his immortality.
Immortality only lasted as long as Kurgen did (or any other immortals) - in the end there can be only one :)

Are you sure? According to wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurgan_(Highlander)):

These devoted followers of the Kurgan would continue to remain active for decades, even following his death in New York City in 1985, seeking to destroy MacLeod for his actions in the first Highlander film. The Kurgan's influence would continue to be felt in the world for some time to come – Connor MacLeod received a "Dark Quickening" from his enemy, resulting in the deaths of several innocent Immortals at Connor's hands in early 1987, until Duncan MacLeod aided in purging the Kurgan's last influences from his cousin's tortured psyche.[11]

Apologies rmelly - I actually watched Highlander on dvd last week so Im basing what I said on that, I havent seen any of the sequels, I thought Kurgan was killed and Connor McLeod had lost him immortality and that was that.
Will have to watch the sequels now!!!!
 
In fairness to Truthseeker, I'm getting all this from Wikipedia which might not be so reliable...

Probably more reliable than me only seeing first movie though!!!

Back to being a werewolf or a vampire - the vampires in Interview with a Vampire were having a good time (for the most part), and no Van Helsing after them, even though they did keep moaning about not being able to experience the mortal side of life - but I think if you get to be immortal you have to expect some downsides.
