Review of Highlander (Wide Screen) by MHam

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: none

...kings’ although for any non highlander fans it is more likely to be ‘Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the fandango’ There is something about Freddy‘s voice that completes the theatrical, dramatic atmosphere of the whole film. This worked both ways as Christophe Lambert does turn up in the video of the song with his sword to do battle with Mr Mercury. Other highlights include the ballad ‘Who wants to live forever’ and of course ‘It’s a kind of magic’ ...
...story, it is the original Highlander and by far the best, not least because I honestly believe they sacked the continuity man at some point along the way with the other 3. Does good prevail, does Connor win the prize and does he ever find happiness? If you’re over 15 then go get the film (Amazon price £6.97 for the DVD) to find out. Thank you for reading. ...

"It's A Kind Of Magic..."
Review of Highlander (Wide Screen) by BlueMidget

...mentor's him in preparation for this future trying to win 'The Prize' - to be the sole surviving immortal, because, in the end, "there can be only one". Made in 1985, the movie stars Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod and Sean Connery as Ramirez. The two actors have a good on screen repore and their exchanges come across as genuine and believable. The relationship of mentor/student is very well played. Clancy Brown plays an excellent role as ... Read review

If memory serves me correctly I paid somewhere in the region of £4.97, although I would always recommend that you shop around as there are always bargains to be had if you know where to look. I have to admit to having an ulterior motive for buying the DVD. I will watch absolutely ...
