Greetingsch!

Has anybody found a hidden "prize" on this cracking release yet? I mean, come on! It`s from Anchor Bay!

Found this elsewhere. Hope it helps you out.

I hear the teaser trailer is on the disc - wow I remember that!

Shenkman,

Your information regarding the Teaser trailer`s residence on the disc is flawless. Good news travels, it would seem!

As with everything this `86 Scottish epic has to offer, the teaser trailer will, without doubt, startle your senses as intensely as it did when your eyes first feasted upon it.

To quasi-quote the film itself: "1986 was a very good year", and Highlander remains it`s finest hour!

Bought your new amplifier yet?

All glory to The Hypnotoad!

Kinjo.

Kinjo,

I assume the easter egg on the DVD contains the material presumed absent from the Laser Disc (R.I.P.) and first R1 edition of this Scottish opus.

I have to say I agree with you that Highlander is a good film (I own the rather cinematic R2 pressing) but my personal favourite from 1986 would have to be Aliens. That year must have been a good vintage. Together with The Fly they represented just how good Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror films could be.

No new amp yet! As you seem to know your stuff I asked you on the harware forum what you made of the Denon AVR 3802?

Dear Mr Shenk,

I`m afraid that the hack you told me about failed dismally. Could it be that my humble player, an LG DVD-3000E, just isn`t equipped with the technical specfication required to access this hidden cashe of delectable goodies?

By the way, I own a R2 copy of "Aliens". Its a fab disc, with a presetation that is beyond compare, save for a screening at The Empire, Leicester Square! You might consider shelling out a fistful of dollars for it, if you haven`t already done so!

Until the time of the apes!

Kinjo

The immortal edition is a complete rip off, because its exactly the same as the old edition, the only thing thats different is that it has the Queen vids.

Floyd,

I`m sure there are differences between the two versions. Isn`t there the afformentioned teaser trailer, new image transfer (I hear it`s pretty sharp) and a new DTS soundtrack etc. Have you checked the specs correctly?

The Shenkman.

G`day, Mr Shenk,

I must concur with your last posting regarding "Highlander: The Immortal Edition". This is indeed the first time the movie has been presented in an anamorpically enhanced form, the first time the audio has been presented in DTS-ES, the first time the teaser trailer has been included as an extra on any format, the first time the tie-in music videos have featured in the package, and...yes, you guessed it, the first time that an exclusive CD of the Queen songs from the soundtrack has been included as a companion to the DVD.

The previous, horrendously sub-standard release may have been a rip off, but this purchase is a kind of magic!

Kinjo.

I bought the original r1 release which was supposed to be a THX release
and found the picture grainy and the sound lacking any real weight
I have seen the r2 quite cheap but couldn`t part with the cash just in case
it was as bad, is this really the ONLY ONE worth having.

Hi Mill!

The answer is Yes! "The Immortal Edition" trumps all previously released versions of the movie in terms of both picture and sound. Trust me, I speak from experience!

Kinjo.
