Product Description
From Amazon.com
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 Shannon

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not nearly as good as I remembered - the image quality is NOT acceptable,
By
This review is from: Highlander - Director's Cut (Bilingual Version) (DVD)
The music is still great (Queen et al) - some of the scenes are well done, but this director's cut does not have the same flow as the original movie, it feels "forced" and flat - no energy. The picture image is TERRIBLE. It looks like someone copied over a VHS tape onto DVD. The picture colour is distorted and very grainy and the DVD is in very low resolution. This significantly affected how I rated the DVD.

This review is from: Highlander (Director's Cut) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This has always been one of my all time favorites,though I can't see why they made sequels. I first saw it because Queen made the soundtrack, and I am a fan. I had never seen the director's cut and it answered an important question. Towards the end, as Connor leaves his assistant in his office, he tells her "Hey, it's a kind of magic" (which is the title to the corresponding Queen album.) I never understood why he said that. A scene in this version answers the question. I'll say no more on this. The only thing that surprised me, though it affected my kids more than me, is that the Blu-ray only comes with an English audio track. It's not like they do not have enough room on a Blu-ray. They could dub it in 50 languages. I bought this in Canada (amazon.ca), so I expected a French track.
