Pretty sure H2 has been out on Blu Ray for a while.
Strangely enough, Highlander 2 is in the same boat as Star Wars. Yes, it’s available, but only as a ‘director’s cut’ with new CGI and stuff.
“Ow! It`s hot in here, the butter in my pocket is melting!”
I’m seeing two different H2 editions on Ebay. Only one is clearly marked as the Renegade cut. IIRC, they had to go back and redo the Renegade in HD having done it in SD first time around.

Strangely enough, the theatrical version of Highlander 2 deserves to be buried. 😉
I wouldn’t mind MST3K or Rifftrax taking it on.

Awesome, I’ve been waiting years for this one. Didn’t know it was already available.

Granted, that’s just pure, crowdfunded (collective) insanity. Fun to mention and kinda counts for that reason alone, but at the end of the day it wasn’t some kind of an actual business entity putting up the cash up-front in the hope of profit - I’d say those are the real headscratchers.
Speaking of:
Ninja III: The Domination
Synapse still picked it up. It likely would have been a limited disc run for backers otherwise.
And Manos 2 is coming out. 😉

Clearly, there is a much bigger market for the Mario Van Peebles hit - Rappin, than there is for Star Wars.

You know, for a sec I thought I was missing this damn thread and it had been right in front of me the whole time. It did cross my mind.
Anyway, you can get (from Japan at least) Space Monster Guilala … AKA The X From Outer Space

And it’s fantastic.
But not Star Wars
We do have Carnival Magic on Blu-ray, but we still don’t have Star Wars '77!

I barely survived the MST3K version! And how the hell did that thing get a G rating? There’s an attempted vivesection scene for pete’s sake!

Wow! Did DC comics sue like they did over Wild World of Batwoman?

Humankind has Heavy Metal on Blu-ray…
…And we’ve recreated its opening scene and blasted an actual convertible automobile into outer space…
…but we STILL don’t have Star Wars '77 on Blu-ray yet!?

They’ve yet to recreate the incredibly proportioned women of Heavy Metal in real life. 😉

The MPAA ratings for many older films are baffling to me.
2001: A Space Odyssey got a G rating, as did Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The audio remix done for the TMP director’s edition actually bumped it up to a PG, if you could believe it.
Also, I remember reading once that Star Wars ‘77 was actually going to get a G rating but George himself requested it be PG.
The single most confusing rating of all time in my book has got to be Spaceballs getting a PG in 1987, three years after the pg-13 was introduced.
While we’re on the subject, the most well-known Star Wars parody has a decent-looking blu-ray transfer and Star Wars doesn’t.
The MPAA can be confusing, but the first three original Planet of The Apes films got G ratings too. I guess the MPAA likes monkeys a lot?
How did the audio remix of TMP bump up the rating?

We have X in HD.
Freud would have a field day with that poster! 😛

But does he accept Blue Cross?

First Steven Spielberg doesn’t even bother including the later version of E.T. in the blu-ray release or the 4k, now Francis Ford Coppola (George’s friend going even further back) is including both the theatrical Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux alongside a new third cut of the movie, all in 4k!
