Summary: 5 star movie. Not so great DVD
Review: OK, I do not regret buying this DVD at all. I mean, it was great to finally have an explanation as to who Rachael is in regards to Conner. It was great to also see all the other small scenes that are missing from previous versions. The directors commentary is also interesting, BUT WHAT IS UP WITH THE SOUND????? It was very frustrating to watch. 1 minute it's too low, the next minute it's too high. You strain to hear dialogue (sometimes you don't hear it at all) and when you do hear it, it gets overpowered by the background noise and the music. Oh well, instead of constantly altering the volume on my remote I just put it on low and turned on the close captioning. Hmmm..anyone else have this problem?

Summary: High level action and fantasy.
Review: HIGHLANDER was undoubtedly among the best of the medieval/fantasy/Dungeons and Dragons sort of movies that proliferated in the 1980s. The choice of the brooding Christopher Lambert was perfect for the part of the Highlander, Conner MacLeod. There is a quiet intensity to his acting, and it works well here. Sean Connery, as his mentor and fellow-immortal, Ramirez strikes just the right balance of swashbuckling and seriousness. His acting is perfect. (So what else is new?)For me, however, Clancy Brown's Kurgan steals the film. His physical features and bug-eyed grin are dead perfect! And his way over-the-top performance, at times, makes you a little afraid of his character, but he makes you laugh, as well. The confrontation between Kurgan and Conner in a church is a great balance of wit and tension. The battles in Scotland, at the beginning of the film, and the mayhem in the streets of New York City at the end are priceless. My favorite moment: Kurgan steals a car and takes Conner's love interest for a ride. As he careens through the potholes and traffic, he quietly sings "New York, New York". Now I know where all our cabdrivers take their lessons from. HIGHLANDER is a great piece of quality mind candy that actually tackles some deep issues.

Summary: CLASSIC
Review: First, I must confess that I rented the movie because my favorite music group, Queen, was doing the soundtrack. But, unlike Flash Gordon, this movie actually has Queen songs right in it! But, as I watched this movie, I began to get really involved in the story. Christopher Lambert(who, in my opinion, is really hot in this movie!) plays Conner Macleod, a Scottish warrior who has been alive for over 300 years. He has come to NYC to battle the last remaining immortals, for there can be only one! The guy who plays Kurgan freaked the sh*t out of me! He was generally scary! I think one of the reasons I loved this movie was because of the underlying love story. I almost cried when Nash lit the candle in the church! Anyway, if you love Queen as much as I do, you'll love to hear their music throughout the movie. Even if you don't like Queen (I can't imagine why you wouldn't, but...), you'll love this winding tale of horror, love, and a kind of magic!

Summary: "Tell them I'm immortal"
Review: This is easily the best film of all the Highlander sequals. An excellent story and well put together with flash backs of Scotland in the fifteenth century. None of the sequals to this film were really of the same intensity and deepness. In fact all the follow ups were very lame.
