Take a look at this review.
This new trilogy also seems to be compromised with Bill Panzer's death.
I 'm tired of all these films made in Vilnius for an handfull of euros and no scenarii
the Anime "Highlander : the search of vengeance" promise to be more interesting.

Just had a preview of the (NEW) film, and I have to say it was as bad as I knew it would be.
Oh My God! The cover versions that are used of the Queen songs are just so horrendous!
I'm sure that Freddie Mercury is rolling in his grave.
This film needs a major re-shoot!!! With what they have now could possibly be re-cut into a decent Highlander T.V. movie, but that's about it.
I will say nothing of the plot. We will save that for after the official release. What I am going to say is that the film has an incredible lack of production value and it SHOWS and hurts every scene. This is direct to video quality type product so far as I can see. The fights are cut like the "Die Another Day" ice car chase. It's all done with editing tricks and, we get no ground breaking sword work at all. This will most likely be voted the worst adventure in the entire history of "Highlander" by most fans.
Why don't they learn?
Adrian Paul looks great (even in the cheap costume), and it's too bad he is not getting better roles. He "phones in" his part much as he had done in season 6 of the show.
Two part Episodes of the series had much more going for them. "End Game", the last film in the Highlander Film series was so much better then what I have seen in my preview of the "The Source"...
But again, this is still not the official edit of the film...
