How about a four discs BOX SET cover -  SINCE ITS ALL ZEIST -

We've also restored the U.S. theatrical edition to all it's glory and have done a few other things.

 

Called it the

 

Restored American Cut

 

 

So now we have -

Extended Zeist Version

Special Zeist Edition

Restored European Version

Restored American Cut

 

*We have enhanced and restored the ENGLISH audio track on the U.S. American release of the film which had been originally offered in France on TFI video (now OOP).
Note: The french DVD ENGLISH audio track was restored due to  hissing noises evident during the film as well as an out of sync English soundtrack transfer. We have now replaced this soundtrack with a 2.0 Dolby Digital Stereo soundtrack which was used from several other existing/ various releases. Several attempts were made to create a 5.1 English soundtrack but failed due to the sync problems with various versions. In the end the poor French DVDs English soundtrack was unable to be remastered due to the poor transfer, hissing and sync problems. Sadly, a 5.1 un-corrupted, synced or clean soundtrack does not exist in any form for this U.S. version of Highlander II. Someday we can hope a 5.1 soundtrack that is not corrupt can be found.

 

In this edition:

*Now for the first time you can view this film with an enhanced 16:9 Widescreen view for your pleasure.

*Also, because of the saturation and horrible transfer on the French DVD we have color corrected, cleaned and digitally enhanced some areas of the film.

 

This film no more has hissing noise and no more is it out of sync due to the horrible  French DVD English soundtrack transfer.

For those that own that the FRENCH DVD pop that French disc in you DVD player an see and hear the difference for yourself. I think you'll see and hear the difference. Hope you like it! I don't think we will ever get an official release of the film other than that one French DVD that was released in TF1

Thanks so much guys - the covers look great and people will be very happy with your art.
