The truth of Zeist may be interesting... but it killed Highlander.... oh well I can't wait to get my hands on these DVDs anyway!

We have restored the 100 min version, we are just not going to release it until after this. We had to restore it in order to create this version. As for the extended cut, hours away!!!


Remember, Highlander, you’ve both still got your full measure of life. Use it well, and your future will be glorious.

Thank you Hoichi, although the scene with Connor and Louise taking off for Zeist had me running screaming from the cinema. Now, I'd like to see it again and having collected nearly every commercially available version of all the Highlander movies I have only this and the US theatrical cut of the original Highlander to add.

Thanks! Wow that was a cool song ;-)

The Extended Zeist Edition is finally done and ready for release.
Final specs shortly!
We are now working on finishing The Special Zeist Edition which shouldn't take to long.


I am not sure where it will be released, possibly demonoid? Not to sure if it is going to get released at fanedit.org at this point.

But I assure you it will get released somewhere!

He's the one, pure in his heart
Shining fair in the bliss never lost
Noble grace, innocent faith
Running throughout the fields immense
Shouting free in the air again
Dancing there with the wind

Sudden gust hit my face, burning rain tore the clouds
From depth of the gloaming thunder came

On a mountain I saw it
When lightning reached out for him
Enchanting my eyes... in magical rhapsody
On a mountain I watched him
As power filled up his veins
Surrounded by dusk
As the rain from the heavens falling, falling...

And lone he might be on the ways of this world
His sword, sole companion, always there

On a mountain I watched him
When proudly he swung his steel
<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>
Entracing my heart... in mystical harmony
On a mountain I saw it
When knowledge aroused his sense
Encircled by clouds
In the gales now enlightened reborn

Wish I could fly through the land beloved
Not in my dream, nor by spell then bound
Paradise's here in the fields immense
Here is my life, not above!
How could I leave this place...

Wish I could fly through the land beloved
Not in my dream, nor by spell then bound
Paradise's here in the fields immense
If I return to this world here I will live again

Strenghtened by fury, I feel no fear
Fire inside, it keeps me awake
For no blind I ever shall bend!
This is my law! This is my way!

Hey!

Insight's my power, truth is my breath
Free in my thoughts I always remain!
Choose to take a different path
Strong in the storms, pure through the waste

Stand up, Oh brothers over the world!
Enemies are there and mostly the same
We are a kind that never gives in!
We are a flame born in the wind!

Hey!

Time's of no matter, it never was!
World is the same, just different form
Freedom is something one doesn't earn
Always your own! Graced by the will!

He's the one, pure in his heart
Shining fair in the bliss never lost
Noble grace, innocent faith
Running throughout the fields immense
Shouting free in the air embraced
Dancing there with the wind

I'd definitely upload it to Demonoid, and maybe the Spleen. I'm sure fanedit.org would be all over this too.

The DVD's are finshed!

I am going to upload them somewhere very shortly!

The Special Zeist Edition will be first becuase it's single layer, followed by the DL Extended Zeist in a few days after that!

Sorry! We want to make sure there are no problems with the release when you download them somewhere!

Special Zeist Ediion will be the one everyone will want to see (thats interested) It combines the several versions to create an updated Zeist Edition of the Special Edition. Allin glourious 2:35.1

Soon! Sorry for the hours away before, we had problems with the menu and decided to go just wth a static menu on the Special Zeist Edition. But, the Extended Zeist is full on DL with tons of extras that we promised, so don't wory!!

We re just happy to be done with Highlander II after more than a year, lookng forward to getting on with the next project.

Remember, Highlander, you’ve both still got your full measure of life. Use it well, and your future will be glorious.

I was just messin' with you on the hours thing.

I'm just hoping this/these releases kick ass. I was part-way into my own Zeist SE version back when this was first brought to my attention, so I stopped working on it. (My learning curve on editing was still at the low end anyway, so it was an easy decision.)


Looking forward to it.

Hello Everyone!!!!!

I have just signed up to here after reading all these posts on Highlander 2 and thought I'd chip in my experiences of this film.

When I first saw this film I hadnt seen the first one so was not aware of the "highlander Legend" so took it at face value and actually enjoyed it. Having now seen all of the films I can understand people frustration about it. Looking back I reckon it would be a good B movie if the highlander aspects of it were removed and just played as a sci fi / action film.

My first experience of Highlander 2 was a bootleg of the now legendary workprint on VHS back in the early 90's. It ran like the Quickening version but had all the extra footage including the "fairytale ending", going above the shield, brenda's death etc and ran over 100 minutes. Then I saw the official version of the Quickening released here in the uk and thought "hang on a minute...theres sh*tloads missing".

To make things worse i have possessed the workprint TWICE and i so wish now i had kept at least one of them. I even scoured through my mums loft recently in a vain hope of finding it.....But im sorry to say....no joy!!!!! If anyone has a copy of this i would happily pay good money for it!!!!!!

So since learning of the different versions i have tried to get hold of as many as possible. So far i have 3. The Quickening version, The renegade version and the new "special edition". So when i came across this thread my ears pricked up and i became very excited. So I am certainly looking forward to seeing these new versions and adding them to my collection so i have been checking in everyday to see the progress. Also i look forward to chatting to some of you about this.

Bring them on!!!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words. And like I said, forget the workprint we restored that 100 minute version also. In order to create the extended Zesit version we had to restore the American Cut and the British workprint 100 min version. Also, we had to make master trasfers correcting aspect ratios, color correct, paint out scratches, rotoscope, audio filter/ cleaning, and do some major cleaning with the video. The result will be amazing atleast to us!! ;-), This is why it took over a year and almost a half to complete.

Remember, Highlander, you’ve both still got your full measure of life. Use it well, and your future will be glorious.

I will keep seeding it as soon as my download is done and I've burned it to a disc. Still some time away though.

I need a seeder
I'm holding out for a seeder 'til the end of the night
They've gotta be strong
And they've gotta be fast
And they've gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a seeder
I'm holding out for a seeder 'til the morning light
They've gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And it's gotta be larger than life

Aaargh! We've got so many potential seeders, we just need one to top us off. This 99.5% is killing me.

Original seeder,
