Customer Reviews

same disc as before...NEW cover art only ....stick with what you have!
Hi folks,

I admit it...I love this movie...I saw this at my local shop (dvd planet) and couldn't resist... Directors Cut..6 more minutes! I got a sick feelingn when I put it in my player and the SAME menu as the previous edition came up... Turns out to be the same as previously released with a new cover. If you have the previous release...do NOT buy this.

lets hope a Blu Ray edition with some real bonus features will happen eventually. My 1 star rating is for this hopeless retread in packaging NOT the excellent movie!

Better than I've ever see it.
I've been a long time Highlander fan, but with past DVDs I've always been disappointed with both the audio and video, got a PS3 and the audio problems went away, but the somewhat lackluster video was still present. The Immortal Edition DVD I had just seemed a little noisy or grainy to get any visual pleasure, even by Standard Definition means.
Then the 2009 Lionsgate came, whether this edition was remastered I'm not sure, though it does look more visually appealing to me, though I was a bit worried with the same Menu screen from my previous DVD. The image is not as good as Lionsgate's 2004 Highlander 2 DVD, but I'd recommend this one non the less. I so hope for all the Highlander movies to come to Blu-Ray and look and sound great.

A classic!
Maybe not in the traditional sense, but a classic all the same to any of us who saw the film when it originally played. The subsequent films do not measure up by any stretch! Not much in the way of extra features and the additional 6 minutes are hardly noticed, but one can hope that eventually there will be some sort of anniversary edition including MORE.
