Russell Mulcahy's original saga of immortal Scotsman Connor Macleod, one of a race of immortals who can only be killed when beheaded with a sword. After living in peace for four centuries, he is challenged by an old enemy named Kurgan. During a fierce sword battle in the 1500s, Connor MacLeod, a simple Scotsman known as a poor fighter, is mortally wounded -- but he does not die. MacLeod learns from the mysterious Ramirez that he is of a race of immortals. These rare knights never age and never reproduce, they can only meet death by the blade of another of their kind. Leaping back and forth through the centuries, MacLeod once again meets the evil Kurgan who nearly killed him 500 years ago.

Amazing on Blu Ray

AC2000 from , 9th July, 2009

Fresh as the day it was made. This film shouldn't work, A scott playing an eygptian. A frenchman playing a scott. But it does, the plot the action and one liners are amazing. Queen rock.

I don't understand what the fuss is about this movie. I just couldn't get into it at all. One to avoid!

A CLASSIC FOR ALL TIME

Gary McMahon from Lymington,England, 30th July, 2009

This film will always be a classic for me no matter how it's presented. I watched this in blu ray for the first time this week and it was a joy to behold. To say I enjoy this film is beyond reproach I named my son after Connor McLeod and I do this inspite of the very visible wires which are even more evident at the end of the film. This is a true sci-fi fantasy film for those that love this genre and I doubt there are any young or old who have not seen it. I highly recommend Highlander to those who have never seen it just remember there can be only one!!

Some things definitely get worse with time

tcw5 from , 1st September, 2009

I really wanted to like this film - as I had memories of this first part being a good original film first time around - so despite my wife's protesting that she didn't like it when it first same out so would hate it now I added it to my list. On watching, I came to the conclusion that (like with many things) she turned out to be right. Twenty+ years on this film has dated horribly, the script is poor and the mis-casting of Lambert grating. I should have left this as a memory rather than bothering to rewatch it. Two stars (and one of those is for nostalgia).
