Wasn't this song also/originally on Queen's "A Kind of Magic" aka the Highlander soundtrack?

Yes.

Man, I'm loving this DVD set. I watched the first three episodes last night. It was definitely rough in the beginning. Richard Moll = Worst. Immortal. EVAR!

But the set in great. The CD-ROMs are even Mac compatible!

I'm just completely geekin' out over here!

On Project Green Light tonight (Bravo), the two writers who won the screenwriting contest announced to the producer (and us) that they had been signed by Dimension/new Miramax to write the new Highlander Movie. Granted this was filmed awhile ago, so who knows what has happened since.

Yep, I got a good laugh out of that. For those who aren't familiar with Project Greenlight, the writers are amateurs who won an Internet contest. At the time of that episode, they were still in the pre-production of their first film (and traditionally, Greenlight films are huge duds). Glad to see Dimension is pulling out all the stops on this one...

Another Highlander movie? There can be only one!

Yeah, I always wondered why they never made a sequel to it.

Here's the playlist for the Iron Eagle soundtrack:

Good Lord! Reading that, I am rather embarrassed at being a child of the eighties...

Trust me, having seen the 90's, I'm glad I'm an 80's child.

Personally, I watched the movies and tried to watch the series. I liked the story line in the first movie and I even liked the first few episodes of the TV series since it was a different take. Though I think at this point I would wait for the dollar showing to see another Highlander movie.

Thought I'd ressurect this thread rather than start a new one.

Less that a month and a half, and I have watched the entire six seasons of Highlander. Pathetic, eh? Other than being very disappointed with the final season, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thought I'd share.

For those of you sensitive to such things, I'm going to do a brief summary of how this could be, so lock your doors, hide your children, and think of your happy place....

Ok. In H2:the Quickening

Let us never speak of this again.

Actually, the original Highlander film is pretty good

I enjoy the first movie: it's fun, goofy, Clancy Brown is wonderfully over-the-top, has some great lines ("What does 'Baffled' mean? "Nuns. No Sense of humor") and the premise is interesting. One of the things that always made me laugh about the film, though, is that they got the French actor to play the Scot, and they got the Scottish actor to play the Spaniard, who was actually an Egyptian. With a Japanese sword.

Friends and I saw the third movie in the theater and knew it was going to be bad from the outset. In fact, as soon as the helicopter landed and the beautiful archaeologist got out and started walking to the site, the thought that everyone later admitted to having at the same time was "OK, so when does she get naked?" Later in the film, she did!

Which was nice, but not enough to make up for the fact that the third film was lame. Saw the fourth one in the theater, too. Also lame. Except for the first film, this series is dead to me.

Also, I see that I am very late to this discussion. Never mind. Exeunt
