Ratings and reviews

This was a horrible movie, by any decade's standards. Also, this copy had big errors in one scene. For whatever reason, I had to watch it in stereo instead of surround.

I remember the first time I watched this when it came out in theaters...What a spectacular movie! I pity those who haven't seen this movie. It will always be one of my very favorites.

This has been a favorite since my childhood. I'm not ashamed to admit this film and the Highlander Series were my introduction to Queen, Clancy Brown, Sean Connery, and Christopher Lambert. For me this takes me back. I only wish we could get the Director's Cut for this film and the Renegade Cut for the second film. I admit there is a lot of cheese to this film and looking at it through a modern lens might make it seem like a bad film but remember it was released in 1986 and is an action movie mixed with some romance.
