My husband is a big fan of the Highlander movies, and as a treat I decided to get him the original film on DVD from Amazon with some vouchers that I had earned through taking surveys. If memory serves me correctly I paid somewhere in the region of £4.97, although I would always recommend that you shop around as there are always bargains to be had ...

Connor MacLeod is a clansman living in the Scottish Highlands in the sixteenth century. After surviving what should have been a fatal wound at the hands of a mysterious foreigner during a battle between clans, Connor is banished from his clan under the belief that he is possessed by demons. Living alone in the highlands he is one day found by Juan ...

Princes of the Universe From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now. These immortal words were uttered by the ...

Season 4 begins with MacLeod returning to his Scottish Highland roots after he discovers that someone has been digging up the graves in his “hometown”. He faces the Immortal who killed his adoptive father and finally kills him (when they first met, MacLeod didn’t know that he had to behead fellow Immortals to kill them for good). ...

Quite possibly the best film ever, ever made, and an all time classic from the dawns of time! If you have never seen the film “Highlander” where have you been? This is the definative film of the 1980's. Picture the scene. Two men fighting in a car park. But we’re not talking Fight Club here. They are ...

Everyone knows this movie and the plot so I will not go into details. This will be an analysis of the disc only. If you would like to know my feelings (personal interpretations) for this movie check my review in the movie section. First off I must say that I have the region 2 version. I haven't seen the region 1 version but from what ...

When I first saw it I was in my early teenage years... I was also entranced by the film, instantly becoming a fan. So those of you who are expecting an objective review can stop reading right here. So you're a fan also... or are just reading to try and make sense of us... the people that made a supposedly bad B-series movie into a ...

Highlander is a rather odd movie if you ask me. when it was released in the cinemas it was given bum reviews all round apparently and yet has since become a cult classic. If you say you don't like it you get frowned at and looked down upon as some sort of freak within certain circles..very bizarre. Well at the risk of being slapped down...I do ...

There comes a time in everybody's life, when a film of such magnitude changes the way you look at the world. For me it was "Highlander". Why? Perhaps the concept of immortality, perhaps the fantastic music, the actors, the action, a combination of these things or just because I first watched it at an impressionable time in my life ...

After an age Region 2 DVD players can finally get their hands on ‘Highlander’. The movie, originally released at the cinema in 1986 tells the somewhat initially confusing story about Connor Macleod (played here by Christopher Lambert.) The movie opens with what was (at the time) a pioneering shot that shows a wrestling match ...

A classic with actors out of type (a French Scot and a Scottish Spaniard!) - Advantages: Excellent Story, Well edited, Unusual Casting - Disadvantages: Cinematography could be better, Spawned some iffy sequels, Unusual Casting!

Not having a multi region dvd player, I have been waiting what seems an eternity (thank god I am immortal) for this to come out on region 2. I first saw the film in the late 80s and was hooked. The soundtrack is unbelievable and available (A kind of Magic - Queen) and helps the film through. The story is a little confusing ...

As the title suggests this is the best film in its genre. Ok so the plot isn't the best ever, and the casting could be called dubious, but some how it all comes together to make a film that you can easily lose yourself in. For its time the effects are exceptional, and the soundtrack written by Queen (some of the best they ever wrote) will ...

This film has to be my all time top favourite movie, surpassing Star Wars, Braveheart etc, even though it doesn't really offer anything new. So why do I like it so much? So much that over the years I have worn out five or six videos with constant playing? Well, I'm into fantasy, whether it's art (I own one painting and ...

Highlander is one of those films that caught the audience unawares when it first came out. It had very little in the way of publicity, but the strong story and great 'presence' of the film soon spread the word that this was one movie to go and watch. The plot is pretty simple, a Scottish warrior of the MacLeod clan in 1536 is ...

Sorry, but i couldnt find a section for highlander 2 so i put it in highlander instead. Starring: Christopher Lambert, Virginia Madsen, Michael Ironside, Sean Connery Director: Russell Mulcahy DVD Release Date: 11/11/1997 Prepare to experience a totally new incarnation of one of the most spectacular cinematic ...

It seems that a lot of the reviews for this film are titled using lyrics from Queen songs. I guess it isn't surprising, considering that they did more or less complete the entire soundtrack for the film, with the help of Michael Kamen (whose accolades include X-Men and the Metallica album S&M). Their addition to the film fitted perfectly, ...

When Highlander was first released in 1986, it made minor ripples throughout the movie world, and really only made an impact here in the UK because of the soundtrack by British-based band Queen. But thank god it did make an impact, because this happens to be one of the most overlooked and underrated films of the last two decades. ...
