From that article:
As long as you had your shit together, and you weren’t a woman who needed a beating for reasons, Connery was a real “gentleman.”
I had a brief glimmer of interest when the article mentioned the upcoming reboot. A Connery-free Highlander could be a good thing. Then I looked it up and saw that Henry Cavill is leading the project. 
I guess he doesn’t outright advocate for violence against women, so…progress? I think I’ll pass.
