can you tell us if the ending is different than the theatrical one ?

Anyone thought about doing the US theatrical of Highlander? There's a French 2-DVD set out with the second disc supposedly containing the US theatrical cut in widescreen albeit with French audio. Is anyone game for taking the audio off the US laserdisc and merging that with the French DVD, assuming someone could get their hands on these?


the french disc does NOT include the Us cut. it includes the European Cut and the French cut (shorter than the int. cut but longer than the Us Cut). The french cut has the WWII flashback.

A shot from this scene, showing the beheaded priest sitting on a bench and holding his own head in his lap, can be seen in the French publicity stills."

Can anyone confirm this scene?

I can confirm the publicity still but the scene was not in the french prints. I saw the movie in theaters.

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.

I would like to do an Ewok supplementary disc as a release of mine. If anyone has some material to include I would appreciate it. I have the Eric Walker CD of BTS images and also a so-so copy of the original UK TV spot. PM me if you have anything.
You should see if someone can get you a copy of this to include.

There is also a trailer for the US VHS release of The Ewok Adventure out there. I only have it in file format.

MojoLA,

I totally agree your point of view. You did a wonderful and very respectful work on the DE.
I have a question. When the dvd was released, there were some rumours that the documentaries were edited because of embarrassing things told against Paramount or some persons. can you confirm these rumours ?
I love the documentaries on the dvd but I feel they are too short.

I heard about this one for several years, but I was not able to find a copy.
Does anyone here already see it ?

It seems that Sam Jones shot this Making of back in 1979

A guy from a Timothy Dalton website seems to have a copy

is there a place on the internet to watch this preproduction trailer ? sounds very interesting ...

Thanks in advance


The theatrical French version is hard to find and has a flawed soundtrack mix (which we have fixed) It was released by TFI, I think Amazon France had it but no longer carries it!


as I said before, the french dvd from TF1 has NOT the theatrical french cut of HII but the American cut (with a french dub and the english track (with french subtitles). I don't know why the TF1 disc has the wrong cut .
