Largely panned by the critics, but it has some surprisingly nice scenes, and with overwhelming duels , colorful scenarios and including numerous images in video-clip style . .The picture displays noisy action , derring-do, adventure , spectacular combats, dumb script and breathtaking outdoors which are a treat for the sight . The flick is starred by a known cast , giving functional performances , such as : Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod / Russell Nash , he's a fighter from four centuries ago with an eternal confrontation since Middle Age against his fellow headhunter immortal , Mario Van Peebles as an extremely hammy called Kane , Deborah Kara Unger as research scientist Alex Johnson / Sara, Mako and Raoul Max Trujillo . Although I miss Sean Connery who played the sympathetic Ramirez in a terrific and meaty role . Sean Connery and Christopher . Christopher Lambert had just barely learned to speak English when he took this role , the only other English-speaking film he had been in at that point was Greystoke, (1984), in which he spoke only a few words . In addition, notorious secondaries as Mario Van Peebles and Raoul Trujillo play magnificently two shamelessly villainous people . The film contains exciting and thrilling musical score by J. Peter Robinson and some catching songs . Mesmerizing and wonderful landscapes well photographed by cameramen Francois Aubry and Steven Chivers . The motion picture was regularly directed by Andrew Morahan. Original theatrical release was PG13 and 94 minutes, but the director''s cut has been re-edited and footage added with some strong love scenes. Rating : 4.5/10, average.
