Info Wanted: any 'Highlander: The Source'... fan edits in the works?

I ask this, as the US cut is coming to DVD at the end of this month, but I’m told it’s just going to be the (uncensored) version that was shown on the Sci Fi Channel last September.

Between the various cuts of this movie shown thus far… it’s still terrible (the worst movie to bear the Highlander title, yes even worse than Highlander II: The Quickening), but a few things perhaps could be done to make it less terrible, namely a few simple changes like replacing the awful Queen covers with the actual Queen songs (Princes of the Universe, Who Wants to Live Forever). Redubbing or removing some of the voice overs, editing out certain things, splicing in flashbacks from Endgame or the TV series and so forth could go a long way.

Does anyone have any information on any fan edits that are in the works, completed, or whatnot?

Thanks in advance and I’m sorry if I missed something obvious here…

Some guys are talking about this on the highlander forums. Why not here?

The worst episodes of the T.V. show out class any scenes from "The Source", and that could be why.

Personally, I would much rather see a fan edit from multiple episodes of the old T.V. show!

It seems that "The Source" is to many "Highlander" Fans what "Galactica 1980" is to "Battlestar Galactica" Fans. Something to be forgotten forever.

Some films are beyond saving. Something tells me that trying to edit this one would feel akin to trying to slice dogshit as thinly as possible.

And I love Highlander II, so that's saying something.

Having only seen the leaked avi I acquired I'm unsure what differences there are between versions (if any)? However I will force myself to go buy the DVD and watch it again (whilst swearing heavily at the TV).

I'm wondering if somehow I could splice this with Endgame, using Connor's death as the reason for Duncan's melodrama (and search for the Source) rather than his inability to keep another random girlfriend.
