Duncan MacLeod: You're an asshole.
Methos: I never said I was deep.

Alternate Versions

The "signs in the sky" in the Moscow cut appear to be mostly clusters of stars and galactic dust. In later editions, they were edited to look more like the cluster of large planets as seen towards the end of the film. The scenes in the "sand pit" also had their special effects re-composited to look slightly more realistic.

Highlander: The Down Payment

OK, I've watched & loved, Highlander the series.... I enjoyed it more than the movies themselves. Adrian Paul is a really talented actor & though I feel their acting was dead on... the script for this movie was HORRIBLE.

It was as awful as Highlander II... it just left me feeling like someone... wanted to revive the movie to make a few dollars. It was as if they threw this script together on a weekend & convinced some great actors this was a good idea.

Highlander creators... we'll act like this didn't happen if you promise not to produce another movie to finance a new house.

2 thumbs, way down.

Such a cool series, such a bad movie.
