"A great blast from the past."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Take it for what it is and a product of its time this is a great watch. The animated special effects cannot compare with todays CG. But, given the time it was very well done. I was very disappointed with DVD interpretation of this I saw some years back. While you can see a few moths here and there from the film print on bluray, they've done a far better job of transferring it this time.

"Nostalgic!"

Just as good now as it was the first time I saw this movie quite a number of years ago – on a VHS cassette tape!! “There can be only one!”

"Classic Must Have!!"
5 stars"

Set to the Epic Queen soundtrack this is a wonderful story that will capture your imagination from the opening scenes until the credits roll at the end. Lambert delivers a wonderful performance of a man with a gift he does not want. Watching him struggle with his emotional torment and then kick butt and chop off heads is awesome. Clancy Brown in my opinion is the best part of this movie. He is entertaining and creepy at the same time and easily one of the best villains of the silver screen. The fight scenes are epic and will have you on the edge cheering for your hero. My favorite scene involves a old lady and Clancy Brown tearing it up down the road in a old car. Classic movie awesomeness. A good port to Blu-Ray but still a few scenes that are not as crisp as others. Having said that this is still by far the best version of this iconic movie you will have the pleasure of owning and watching. A must have for any movie fan. There can be only one !

Description

Highlander

They are immortals, destined to live forever. They must duel down the ages until one remians. Only decapitation by sword can release them from their age-long battle for an incredible prize – power beyond imagination. Such are the extraordinary events at the heart of this epic fantasy saga, a mystical tale of the struggle between Good and Evil, between the Highlander, Connor Maclead, and his eternal enemy, The Kurgan.

From the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century to present-day Manhatten, they war for the prize, while the fate of mortal man hangs in the balance. Starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, Highlander is an action-packed romantic adventure with spectacular sword fights and dazzling special effects.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Highlander is a visionary action/sci-fi film which deftly explores themes of eternal life, the temptation of power, and true love. " – Ed Travis
  • " Highlander is the visual counterpart to rock band Queen (who supply a number of songs on the soundtrack) – big, brash and operatic filmmaking of the highest order. " – Adam Lowes
  • " OK fantasy adventure film that has achieved cult status to many. " – Steve Crum
