Summary: Outstanding movie, nice presentation, mediocre transfer
Review: The folks over at Anchor Bay first came to my attention with their outstanding releases of the Evil Dead movies, and their work has not slowed on this latest release of Highlander. The disc has some good commentaries, but suffers from age. The film, released in 1985 has suffered horribly. The new DTS/ES sounds good, but suffers from some source limitations that are almost painful to the ears. And the new Anamorphic picture is cleaned up a lot from the old DVD released back in 97, but still suffers from some horrible grain and edge enhancement that mars the picture. But again, it is still FAR better than the old dvd that was released, or the old laserdisc for that matter.As a Queen fan, though, it is nice to have some videos on DVD that I can crank into the system and enjoy at my leasure. The final point, the second disc included on here is 3 queen songs that any self-respecting queen or Highlander fan should already own!

Summary: An immortal movie
Review: This movie is great.... it has a good story and the action scenes are awesome. I like all movies with Christopher Lambert and this is one of the best.

Summary: Must get.
Review: Since Anchor Bay seems to have risen out of no where (to me). It's probably a must get. Anchor Bay isn't known for [bad]releases.
Look at all the Limited Editions they put out. Manhunter, Supergirl,... I probably won't get it since it scared me..., but that Evil Dead cover has got to win an award for creativeness. I like the sequels to this movie, but only keeping in mind that with Highlander 2... Highlander 4 must come before that so Conner must come back someday. I doubt we've seen the last Highlander with Chris in it.

Summary: THIS IS IT, BABY!
Review: HIGHLANDER will always be a classic. Full of action and emotion, this romantic fantasy epic will stand the test of time for years to come. And now, the film gets a bigger and better DVD release. With Queen music videos, Commentary by Russell Mulcahy and the producers, and a CD featuring the songs of Queen, THIS is the one to keep! Sell the old one, and get this one. You'll love it! Grade: A+

Summary: New and Amazing
Review: I just got my hands on an advanced copy of the new Highlander Immortal Edition DVD. I have heard how horrible the picture quality was on the first DVD was, and so I was hesitant on watching this one. When it was all said and done, I sat there in amazement. The DVD picture quality was AMAZING!!! It looks as if they filmed the movie yesterday, and not 17 years ago. The sound is awesome and overall I would say that this is the definitive version of the movie. The only thing the lacks are the extras, but the movie more that makes up for it.

Summary: There Should Have Been Only One...
Review: What the makers of the sequels and the TV show, even, seemed to never get through their heads is that the events in this film make up the END of the story of the Immortals. Period. The TV show at least touched on the fact that there were thousands of possible stories in the lives of the Immortals BEFORE the events of this film. Oh, well, at least we have this one, and can ignore the rest. I'm looking forward to this Immortal Edition for more material and a better transfer.

Summary: There can be only one!
Review: Amazing and masterful 1986 Classic of Fantasy stars Christopher
Lambert as a Time-Traveling Scotsman of immortality that
battles the forces of darkness. a odd mix of " The Terminator"
and " The Princess Bride" all combined, if you love fantasy
get this movie. well get, the brand new Edition that has the soundtrack and
more new extras that the old Cheesy DVD never had before.

Summary: looking forward to it ...i will only buy if something new
Review: Allthough I am one of the 'oddly loyal ' fans as described by the editorial above, I am not sure if I will buy this yet, but it does look like a damn fine edition of a film I will allways love.But AS I am in Great Britain,i have made one mistake with importing Highlander movies allready.I got the 'Director cut' imported a year or so ago,only to find It was only the same as what had been released over here allready,and the footage restored was only new to you chaps over here in the US.Still,the commentary track has still not appeared in Great Britain yet.So that was something.But the Immortal edition says uncensored directors cut,so I am sure it will be worth looking into at least.

Summary: A A great "B" movie
Review: Highlander is a grade B movie that qualifies as a guilty pleasure. This is a story of "immortals" that chase each other through the centuries. In this universe, there will eventually only be one immortal left. The contest requires that they battle with swords ending with the winner decapitating the loser thus gaining his powers. The story starts out in the 1500's with warring Scottish clans. McLeod, Christopher Lambert, flashes back between our time and different periods of history with plenty of sword fights and special effects. The movie has a video game feel to it; it's not a serious study of what it would be like to be immortal. Still it triggers all sorts of fantasies about what it would be like to face danger on a regular basis, perhaps be fatally stabbed and yet never die. It would also be fascinating to be an eyewitness to history for all times. Another reviewer cited the poor quality of the audio portion, which admittedly was a little rough, however, with all the thick accents; the English subtitles were helpful anyway. If you like movies like the old Conan The Barbarian series or the more recent Laura Croft Tomb Raider, then you'll be right at home here.

Summary: The best of the series!
Review: This is the movie that started it all! Christopher Lambert, in one of his best roles, plays the immortal Connor MacLeod, who is stabbed during a Scottish battle and mysteriously survives. Sean Connery plays Juan Ramirez, another immortal who mentors MacLeod and prepares him for an immortal life. Great special effects for its time and excellent swordfights makes this film stand out over other action/sci-fi movies. This movie spawned three sequels and a T.V. series, but none of them are as good as the original Highlander. If you are an action movie fan, a sci-fi fan, or a Lambert fan, then you must see this great movie!
