Editorial Review:
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

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 ... Read More

Highlander. Where do I begin?
I enjoy the whole story line of being immortal and fighting other immortals, slicing their heads off with swords. There can be only one!
I didn't see this movie until I was like 17 which was what like 3 years ago, and this movie has no era to me, just the past and the future. Its like it was neither old or new to me, it was just a cool movie.
I bought it for many reasons, I like to have unique movies added to my collection. I'm very choosy with movies ... Read More

This is the type of movie you can't help but enjoy. It's daft but a great spectacle, plus it has Sean Connery, good one liners and the action rocks. What more can you want?

Highlander is one of those good ideas that never works because of disastrous directorial miscasting. Attention-seeking video director Russell Mulcahy seems almost perversely determined to make the wrong choice in almost every scene, whether its his obsessive use of inappropriate long lenses or his determination to make every shot so distinctive that he never notices that not only do the pictures often play against the intent of the scene but half the time the shots don't even match. He's not much good ... Read More

I remember Highlander from many years ago, always watching it from VHS. Many memorable lines and scenes and all that great Queen soundtrack music. Well it's many years later and the story is still there but like anything that's 20 years old, it shows it's age a little. The fights seem tame to todays standards, but then again there is more to this movie than the fights. Back then it was a 21" with VHS, today it's 91" with DVD. Quite grainy and lacking, but again maybe an upconverter will help. The ... Read More
