Hello. I firstly want to say thankyou very much for the hard work in bringing us these edits- they truly are amazing. I`ve been looking for a 'proper' version of highlander II since the original video release. And now i have three. The first time i watched the movie was a greek pirate vhs when it was still in theatres, and absolutely loved it. When they released the official version.. well, i couldn`t believe what they had done to it. Of course, i had a ray of hope in the renegade version, bought it, and was disappointed again. Not the version i wanted. So seriously, thank you very much.
Anyway, i don`t know if they`ll be any use to you, but i thought i might post the covers that i created when i downloaded the torrents. Some links:

pack of files- http://rapidshare.com/files/134789151/HighlanderIIFinal.zip.html
The zip pack contains the covers in bitmap form, the original Paint Shop projects plus all the assets used. I have to say, there are no logos or details or anything in way of a description on the covers, which is why i have included the projects and assets. Should anyone wish to adapt the covers, they are more than welcome, but i really really like the way they look (these are, after all, the covers i have on my own versions). There is also a blank disc cover- i created it, but never finished it with logos or titles because the layout never worked. Since i don`t use labels on discs, i just gave up, but it`s there for anyone that wants to use it.
Personally, i could never get the cover layout to work with dvd logos- it always either looked too cramped, or just plain rubbish (of course, i do have an internal argument with myself quite often that they`re a bit sparse without them). It is, however, very easy to adapt the captions on the back to a description, i just never bothered. I`m currently working on a 'super duper boxset of all the versions' cover to fit wider dvd boxes, and will post that when finished.
Once again, thank you very much for gifting the world with these films. The extended zeist version is just awesome.
