I think most people are too bullheaded to give it a chance and understand what Ziest really means (don't ask me, because I won't explain it to you) probably mostly due to the horrible edit of the original release. I've been collecting copies of H2 for years (see photo), but this has to be the copy that I'm most excited to get. I can't wait for the Extended Edition either. So keep seeding and thanks so much.

The rest are all of the American VHS releases in chronological order from top to bottom. The left row is all Quickening versions and they are all exactly the same, only the distributor and covers change. The VHSs on the right row are the red shield Renegades, full screen and widescreen.
The article pinned up there is from a some type of video preview magazine I got free at a rental store. It talks about the release of the red shield Renegade on VHS and Laser Disc.
I also own the Region 2 VHS relase, but it's not up there. So I own a total of 8 copies of Highlander 2. I watched the full screen VHS of the Renegade version so many times, I wore the tape out. I'm gonna write a book someday about all my experiences collecting those tapes, but I still have a lot to collect:

So as not to get my ass caught in a sling over at HLBB I thought I'd bring the discussion over here about the French laserdisc of Highlander 2: Le Retour. I initially thought this would be the European theatrical cut but re-checking with lddb.com I see the timing is listed as 92 minutes. That is at least about 6 minutes more than the French DVD (which uses the US theatrical cut) but I don't see that as any real proof of this having the fairytale ending intact.
Anyone own the French laserdisc or knows where one can locate it? Since it is listed as being 2.35:1 on the laserdisc it should be easy to lift the fairytale ending off of that one (If if it is on it that is) and make a proper version in the correct aspect ratio.

Like I said before in this thread, I have the french Laserdisc from Delta Video and it features the European Cut with the fairy tale ending, in 2.35:1.

It is the US cut as well. 86 minutes long.
dvdcompare needs a bit of a clean-up/correction regarding the Highlander titles, not just H2. I've been meaning to do so but been busy.

So in order to have the best possible quality cut we used the OOP german video coupled with several other versions of the American Cut, etc.
We created a disclaimer at the start of the film teeling the audience that we have used the best possible sources.

PM me your critiques. We can work on changes together. Need a lot of help on what to put on the backside.

Question: Should this cover just be for the SZE or a 2-Disc set for SZE and the Extended Edition?
Already fixed that "Zeist" typo.

The DVD is listed as 95 minutes long, is in widescreen but has Italian dub only. In either case this one should make it a heck of a lot easier!
EDIT: This site however states the length as 88 minutes! Damn them, can't they pick one length and stick to it!!!
EDIT #2: dvd-world.it lists it as 109 minutes which means either Renegade Version or 2004 Special Edition!
