	Highlander (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the film, Connor MacLeod was born in the year 1518 "in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel" (historically this village is better known as the rally point where Bonnie Prince Charlie's troops first concentrated on August 19, 1745 See:Glenfinnan).
		A number of other references in the film connected him to historical figures and events, namely an 18th century duel on Boston Common (in which a drunken MacLeod was repeatedly run through by a sword, to no effect, by an insulted husband) and killing a Nazi officer during World War II.
		It remains arguably the best-known film of the Highlander series, and the one better-received by the public.

	Highlander: Endgame
		In Highlander: Endgame, Connor MacLeod (all together now: "of the clan MacLeod") is a tired, bitter specter of his former self.
		And just for kicks, let's use the second film to establish the fact that the immortals are actually extra-terrestrials.
		The film was grainy, but not too grainy as to conceal the cheap sets and obvious backdrops (was it that hard to find a grassy hill, guys?).Everybody's makeup looked as if it were applied with a trowel, especially Lambert.

	Highlander (1986) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Highlander is an ingenious and very entertaining science fiction film which has come in for rather a lot of (unwarranted) scathing criticism.
		The word "confusing" has been used to describe the film quite often as well, but if you stick with it the confusing moments are explained quite cleverly towards the closing reels.
		The film's intentionally muddled structure is slightly irritating on the first viewing, but with repeated viewings it becomes more comprehensible, even clever.

	Movie-List - Reviews - Highlander: Endgame
		Immortality films have to play with the same rules as "time travel" films in that they have to chronologically map out the immortal's life and strategically pull off each time period.
		As for Lambert, he is bored throughout the majority of the film and it's a shame.
		This action film is only recommended for the fans of the TV Series because I do believe any outsiders to the series will be utterly lost.

	Highlander 2 Special Edition (DVD)
		Highlander, the 1986 Christopher Lambert career-launcher, was an entertaining, yet uneven film.
		That Highlander became a franchise at all is even more amazing considering its very first sequel: Highlander 2: The Quickening, originally released in 1991 and reworked (with improved special effects) for a new "Special Edition" DVD.
		Highlander 2: The Quickening is worth watching, but mostly to gawk at the sheer audacious badness of it.

	"Highlander: Endgame" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		ad the original Highlander film had remained untouched by sequels or spin-offs, there is no question that it would still be regarded as one of the most influential films of the sci-fi genre.
		This is a film made at the end of the film's successful franchise, capping a universe that has lasted for over ten years.
		It unites the Highlander of the films, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) and the Highlander from the TV show, Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul) for the first film since the first episode of the series (Quentin MacLeod, from the cartoon show, is missing however).

	Highlander: Endgame movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Highlander: Endgame is a shabby final installment to the Highlander film series.
		The fourth film of the series continues to follow a group of immortals from the beginnings of 15th century Scotland through their journeys and settles in present day New York.
		Highlanders are mostly dark and mysterious beings, not a part of the heavy metal genre, which is how Aarniokoski portrays some of the villains.

	Highlander Movie (An unofficial website)
		This is the best film in the Highlander series for the simple reason this is where all the ground rules revolving around the immortal themes are set out.
		From the Scottish Highlands of the sixteenth century to present-day New York, they war for the Prize, while the fate of mortal man hangs in the balance.
		The third Highlander movie takes place ain 1994, which means it's a prequel of the second film.

	HIGHLANDER TV SERIES - SEASON ONE DVD
		The first Highlander film in 1986 starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery (and directed by once-promising Aussie director Russell Mulcahy) has become a solid cult classic and for good reason--it's awful in a way that a small group of dedicated enthusiasts love to defend without, perhaps, a complete understanding of the attraction.
		Lovable for its wide-eyed ambition, this is the first of the "Highlander" episodes so far to engage me on a level beyond the watch-checking, reminding a good deal of the late lamented schlock genre time travel series "Voyagers".
		The level of woman fear in "Highlander" is so high (Tess is tranquilized in order to remove any threat to penile-burdened members of the audience) that it serves to bolster the case that this series and premise is the most interesting example of sublimated homosexuality in mainstream "straight" culture.

	AboutFilm.Com - Highlander: Endgame (2000)
		Similarly, Highlander was released before the music video style became commonplace in feature films and before Christopher Lambert (who portrayed title character Conor MacLeod) became a joke in the United States.
		Highlander's success eventually made a sequel inevitable, but the creators had to struggle with a problem: the conclusion of Highlander precluded the possibility of continuing the story.
		Highlander the Series was simply pedestrian one-hour confrontations pitting Duncan MacLeod against one overacting nefarious Immortal after another, each a pale imitation of Clancy Brown's delicious overarching villainy in the first film.

	The HIGHLANDER Sword Shopper's Guide - News Commentary
		When Gregory Widen penned the script "Highlander" for his UCLA film class, he envisioned that the story would end with the ending of the script.
		Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert's contracts were such that if the first Highlander film was successful, then they would agree to sign on for a second film.
		The original script of Highlander 3 went through many iterations and variations, and the final version which appeared on film lacked consistency with the original script which may have given the film more of a coherency and consistency.

		The tale of immortals battling one another seemed exhausted by the original "Highlander" film and sequels but there were also three television series.
		In each film Connor meets at least one woman in the present who generally goes from 'hello' to sex pretty swiftly before either dying on screen or dying before the next film.
		More successfully, "Highlander: The Animated Series" (1994-5) found yet another MacLeod, this time a young boy named Quentin (voiced by Miklos Perlus) living in a post-Apocalyptic world where the immortals have sworn against fighting one another in order to battle the evil Kortan.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Highlander: Endgame"
		Connor is the true Highlander and Duncan should have been the one to lose his head.
		Like the Crow franchise, Highlander has become more than just a trilogy or a series, especially when considering the average lifespan of an immortal and the number of people who take an interest in their lives.
		The first Highlander film gave an exhaustive background on McLeod and a supporting history on the Kurgan and Ramirez.

	Highlander Endgame DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The 1986 fantasy film HIGHLANDER carved a niche for itself in fan circles, thanks mainly to the talents of stylist director Russell Mulcahey.
		The first film was a Harlequin romance novel come to life, which benefited from star turns by Sean Connery and Clancy Brown (as the Kurgan).
		The restored cut of the film is no doubt a much more satisfying presentation than the theatrical cut, but it too suffers from choppy editing and a meandering narrative.

	Foster on Film - Fantasy: Highlander
		Highlander is one of those very few films that manages to repeat that trick.
		It was followed by the bizarrely misconceived Highlander II: The Quickening, which contradicts much of the first film and explains the immortals as space aliens.
		Next came, Highlander III: The Final Dimension, which ignored all events in the second film, Highlander, a television series that ignored the end of the first film and had its own spin-off TV shows, and Highlander: Endgame, which attempted to join the films and TV series.

	HIGHLANDER - THE IMMORTAL EDITION DVD
		Sufficed to say that Highlander's faux-interesting premise is hollow pretense for a series of shoddily-executed swordfights in different period costumes and temporal locales ending with an interminable battle atop a billboard in a strangely empty Big Apple circa 1985.
		Far from flawless, the print negative is marred with grain in many of its location shots while the colours are generally mute as befitting an original of this age, but the overall picture is surprisingly sharp and free of edge enhancement and moiré.
		The second (and last) disc of Anchor Bay's Highlander: The Immortal Edition is something of a cheat: rather than provide the full soundtrack à la the company's own superlative package for Suspiria, this music CD consists of three songs.

	Foster on Film - Fantasy: Highlander III: The Final Dimension
		While Highlander II: The Quickening, the sequel to the imaginative Highlander, was odd in ways that are hard to comprehend, this second sequel, Highlander III: The Final Dimension, switches to generic sequel mode.
		Still, as exploitation, Highlander III is watchable, perhaps shown in the background while your attention is turned toward something more interesting.
		It has numerous swordfights, beheadings, and a few moments of nudity from Debora Unger and a gratuitous prostitute (though the nudity isn’t nearly as gratuitous as McLeod’s son, or the cop with a bad accent, or the illusion magic).

	Amazon.com: Highlander: EndGame (2000 Film): Music: Steve Graziano,Nick Glennie-Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The film was brilliant, and the accompanying soundtrack is equally well done.
		The last track, 'In Memory of Connor' (which doesn't appear in the film and isn't composed by either Graziano or Glennie-Smith) seems a little out of place with the style of the rest of the soundtrack, but don't let that dissuade you, it is a beautiful track nonetheless.
		Returning from the third film (and the series episodes 'Homeland' and 'Not to Be') is 'Bonny Portmore'.
