Really just posting this to reinforce all the opinons above. Highlander 1 is excellent. Good cast, good music (actually, great music) and completely self contained. I mean it ended, no need for any sequels except to milk the concept for more money and it showed!

The first Amazing Grace on bagpipes is just one of those things for me.

Amazing Grace by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was the biggest selling single in the history of British recording. I think we both can imagine why. But then I love the Pipes and Drums anyway.

Perhaps I'll have to see Highlander.

The original Highlander is one of my favorite movies. Lisa

I had never heard of Highlander before. I guess I'm going to HAVE to see it now.

Kaye used to be a champion Highland Dancer.

Is there anything better than Amazing Grace on bagpipes? Ok...but not much.

The only thing that comes close is anything else on Bagpipes.

(One of these days I'm going to have to dig my Chantor out and start practicing again.)

You definitely must see it, Ken, but like I said, make sure you get the Director's Cut with bonus footage.

If you can't find it, I'll lend you my copy.

When did that come out, Ken? My impression was MULL OF KINTYRE by McCartney was the biggest Brit single of all time (that song also featured bagpipes). But come to think of it, I believe Elton John's remake of CANDLE IN THE WIND, released after Princess Diana's death in 1997, cops top honours (sic) now.

It seems to me that Amazing Grace, by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was released sometime in the late '70's, now that I think about it.

Sheesh, was it really that long ago?
(I guess it was.)
Well, up to that time, it was the biggest selling single.

I don't have the single, I have the albumn.

I'll have to look it up, I'm sure it tells on the back of the albumn.

Anyone else remember when Payne Stewart's memoral after he was killed in the plane crash? I will never forget that image of the bagpipe player walking down the fairway playing Amazing Grace while he disappeared into the fog. It sent chills down my back and yet is perhaps the most emotional image I've seen on tv.

Highlander sereis is my favorite movies. Everybody says "I don't like Highlander2". Well,......surely,HL2 is destroy the origin of HL. Yeah...I don't like the story. But action sequences are great. This is my honest opinion.

Highlander3....oh, I hate it! This is NOT Highlander story, anymore.

It is difficult adding anything new to all of the previous posts...except for a quick fanboy wish-fantasy.

For all of the inconsistencies and contradictions between the movies and between the movies and the tv series, the filmmakers had the perfect opportunity to tie it all together in the very last film, which combines the realities of the tv show and the film series by starring the Stars of both.

Quite simply (SPOILER ALERT), if the producers had decided to kill off the younger highlander in the end, INSTEAD of a certain french actor who started it all, then this last movie could have ended RIGHT before the beginning of the very first movie.

Hence, the events of the entire run of the tv series could be said to have taken place before the very first movie.

Just imagine the uproar that would have taken place in the theatre at the very end of the fourth Highlander movie, with the appearance of The Kragen, standing at an airport check-in line, in full punk-rock regalia, telling the frightened airline salesperson that he wanted a ticket on the next flight to New York City.

Now THAT, would have been kewl...IMHO...
