Movie Reviews of Highlander
Movie Review: One of my favorite movies ever! Forget all the old DVD editions, the Immortal Edition is the one to have!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I have to say that Highlander is one of the greatest fantasy pictures of all time. I saw it for the first time on DVD, the one DVD that Republic put out back in 1997. Now of course I was not too big on picture quality and audio and widescreen ratios but as the years passed my mind changed. The DVD did suck balls despite the THX logo on the front of it. So much for a good transfer. But it was a huge improvement over the theatrical release on videotape. So when I saw the 2-Disc Immortal Edition online and on shelves I decided to have it for myself. I bought this bad boy for only 9 bucks at a Wal-Mart and thankfully Anchor Bay put it out. Now Anchor Bay does a kickass job with their DVD titles and Highlander really comes to life in the Immortal Edition. It does get the THX treatment but with a better quality than Republic's version. Anchor Bay did put out a single-disc version of the film, but come on! I bought the Immortal Edition at Wal-Mart for 9 bucks and the single-disc version was sold for like 15 bucks plus elsewhere. Kind of odd if you ask me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but oh well. Most of the extras do come from the older DVD versions but the Queen CD that comes with the movie is brand new. If you do want to hear all the best songs from the movie's soundtrack buy the Queen Platinum Collection, which is 3 CDs. It's worth it and is a great companion to movies like this, Flash Gordon, Wayne's World, and also The Mighty Ducks. As for Highlander, grab the Immortal Edition above all else. If there can be only one, then the Immortal Edition is it!
Summary of Highlander
This 1986 fantasy/action thriller has since spawned two sequels, a popular syndicated TV series, numerous comic-book spinoffs, and a loyal (if somewhat oddly obsessive) following of fans. Directed by music video veteran Russell Mulcahy (which explains the dizzying camera work), the original theatrical release made hash of an intriguing story about an "Immortal" from 16th-century Scotland (Christopher Lambert) who time-leaps to modern-day America with his archenemy (Clancy Brown) in hot pursuit. It becomes a battle to the death (yes, Immortals can die), and Lambert seeks survival training from an Immortal mentor played by Sean Connery. Dazzling, energetic, and altogether confusing in its original form, the film has since been released on video, laserdisc, and DVD in this revised widescreen "director's cut," with additional footage, director and producers' commentary, a photo and artwork archive, the original trailer, and an official time line of the film's evolution from script to screen. A must for Highlander fans ... and you know who you are! --Jeff ShannonScience Fiction & Fantasy DVD Video
