Highlander Opening Sequence

[trombonemunroe]

Wonder what empty-hand style that is he's practising in the opening sequence?

[GeneralMontague]

Nice show, it's just a pity they had to contend with Connor and the Kurgan.

and the sequel films.....*BLAM*

Executed for heresy! there are no highlander sequels

[dontforgetyertowel]

@GeneralMontague it would be more of a chop than a blam

[moviebuff3000]

Connor>Ducan

Sorry I just had to say that

[KryptoWolf]

@moviebuff3000 HELL YES BRAH!.. Highlander (the original film) > life!

[Colton5]

@moviebuff3000 don't be sorry, it's the truth

[bakbergenov]

Fuck you Dunkan. You have to be taking some steroids that make you strong! But I'll cut your head anyway and fuck your girlfriend!

[30Smurfs]

I met this actor yesterday at my work- @ Lowe's in Highland. Cool guy!

[jwka2001]

@30Smurfs what department was he working at

[30Smurfs]

@jwka2001 LOL he wasn't working - I was. He just wanted to buy some rope and headlights.

[jwka2001]

@30Smurfs rope huh might want to do a welfare check on him -dont want him to end up like David Carradine 

[111Adooo]

Greatest show ever made

[Mx41204]

An awesome story, a Scottish main character, katana fights, and a theme song by Queen? How can you not like this?

[AshWolfForever]

The. Greatest. Show. EVER.

[Thapion]

22 are Watchers

[ViolaXZ]

It was really great series. Adrian Paul was brilliant as Duncan 'Mac. I miss that era. My favorite tv shows were in the 90's - La Femme Nikita, The X Files, ER, Acapulco H.E.A.T., Walker Texas Ranger, RoboCop The Series, F/X, L.A. Heat, Spy Game, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Pretender, Babylon 5, Lexx, Earth Final Conflict, TekWar, Millennium, MK Conquest, Soldier of Fortune Inc, Dark Skies, Amazon, SeaQuest, Xena, Farscape, Baywatch, Melrose Place...

[montecarlo4517]

[ksyoung91]

22 ppl clearly need to be decapitated...

[jaybirdjtt]

I never missed the TV shows. Movies 1 and 4 are great.

[DMSL2007]

Highlander 1 and 4 are good, so is the series, other movies are pure shit.

[anarchykid2688]

Ok lets get this straight what other Tv show has an intro more awsome than that !! the intro is right up there with Hercules no doubt .. then swing! sword to the camera HIGHLANDER smash up on the screen swoops away with the cool sound effects and Queens power house anthem for it comes it with that nice shot of Conor an Dunacn dueling in the first episode magic opening but the one with the watchers naration is slightly longer and sounds more epic :)

[omaifakingad]

I love this show. I used to watch it when I was like 10, duncan mcleod was (is) my hero. I think it's the main reason why I have long hair. :D

Not to mention it introduced me to rock music, I love Queen.

[EDMIX]

Don't fuck with Duncan Macleod, i serous that guy will fuck you up!

[Ferhmann]

when i watch this video i feel power flowing through my veins, YEAAAAHHHH

[LDV434]

this show totally rocks i still watch it when it comes on syfy. Duncan rules!!!!

[Madblaster89]

22 people got their heads cut off.

[MrRambo4]

Joe Dawson is going to be killed in the movie called Highlander the source.

[khgyut]

I loved this series as a kid!

[Misterwhalley88]

The TV show sucked compared to the first movie. But compared the the sequels the series is a masterpiece

[screaminggingin83]

@Misterwhalley88 I agree with you entirely my good friend. :D

[crazy88boss]

Send me to the future of you aaaaalllllll!

[LittleDragon5]

There can be only one!

[CaptainStern2]

If Adrian Paul is Scottish then I'm a God damn chinaman!

[Shoen]

the best part of this song....the rest is a mess compared to the start....why the queen did that!!!!

[Anger20008]

crap

[jonfaceski]

i used to watch it as a kid and loved it, after seeing it again a month ago, i have to say this opening is the best part of the show by far

[Jobujack]

Only F>O>R>C>E any where near being able to keep me tame is my little WiTchY MaMnMa'S...?... =

[Ralastar]

ghey.

[19benhead]

I watched this show since I a a little kid and now its on SYFY.

[cody0387]

Ducans got nothing on Connor

[Kaamue]

I watched the series 13 years ago. I had forgotten the whole series. after this video I want to see the series again. sell someone dvd? (:D

[blaq7427]

if ever a movie franchise needed to be remade its this one. the movies were awful so it should be remade so the highlander franchise can be as big as it should have been all along

[Movie06]

@blaq7427

The original continuity is botched up anyway since the second film so yes to a remake.

[xdrenaline00]

I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid. This intro still gets me Jacked UP!!

[defan88]

I freakin' loved this show. I still do. This show has more than enough cowbell.

[adrianmontes21]

Greatest Shit Ever

[GalenMarek20101]

the tv show and the original movie are the best, the rest is shit, agree!

[HappyCatholicDane]

Great TV show, and it can be found legaly (I think) and in good quality by browsing the shows on youtube.

[10191927]

I LOVE THIS SHOW! I grew up watching it every week when it was on. Best thing about Highlander next to the original film. Everything else is a pile of shit. Quickening my ass!

[SOWHATIMADEIT]

AND WHY DO THEY ALL WAYS WANT IT TO BE THE BROMFEILD FOR SUCH

OTHER PERSONS MATH WORK SOME YOUNGER THEN I AM SHOWN IN SHOWS YET TRUCK TANKER ORDER UP BY A CHILD SHOW PLACE OF WW2 AGE PERSONS AN WHAT DO THEY DO WITH IT THE USE IT AS AGE MAKE UP SO THEY LOSE A FEW PLACES SHOWN IN USE TV SHOW HEAR AN TEST OF WHAT WAS BEEN DONE AN GOV CHANGES SHOWS OF SHOWS AN BITCH AN MONE X FILES A FEW PLACES THEY OWN AN MATH YET HOSTAL BUSSINESS FOOLS WEAPONS DONT YOU WANT IT SICK OLD WOMAN NEW FIGHT OF THE NAVAG

[jonathanicarus]

un clasico

[tuseroni]

this series, i had JSUT recently, after many many years, got the opening song out of my head...then my friend downloaded all the queen videos...and got this song stuck back in my head...

[tattooedmike69]

does anyone know of a video that has the opening sequence of the first movie with sean connery's voice follwed by "Princes of the Universe"?

[mcloud30]

mcloud lives...

[ImperialGuard9001]

Pitty that the series and the all franshine hit realy low standrs recently

[Vedlen]

I am Duncan MacLeod. Of the Clan MacLeod.

[McQuackor]

This is, without doubt, the best TV show intro I have ever seen. Once a week, this show and this intro used to make my day

[bigbao81]

This IS a joke ... highlander is great, but this wierd shit is plain strange!!!

[reydelparnaso]

excelent!

[MrNeo2001]

Unite the Clans! Unite us!!

[stiancu]

duncan mcleod from the clawn mccelod

[tristan2345]

Is This a joke

[choppaxsuit]

This is a "goosebump" song, brings back so many memories smh....man

[patorikkudozzu]

Highlander is getting a reboot. Sometime in 2010.

[SylletBang]

reboot?! i hope u mean the series and notthe first best original movie? fuck hollywood then, since those fuckers wanna reboot epic old movies instead of been original and think of a movie on their own.

[mwaces5]

i heard a highlander video game is supposed to come out for PS3 and Xbox 360, but havent heard anything in a while

[yusukeraisen]

i like the start of the clip when it shows he fighting Connor and the end when show some footage of Highlander 2

[VC79JN89]

I like the tv series over the movie. Duncan Macleod rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mrster]

@VC79JN89

You actually preferred it over the first movie?

[hivelocity100]

@VC79JN89 You are wrong. Movie is better. The Show is pathetic.

[Taekwondolink]

@hivelocity100

It's a matter of opinion, technically . . .

[hivelocity100]

@Taekwondolink Stop it, you !

[Scottishblokes]

@VC79JN89 You got to recognize the source, because without it there is no Duncan

[VC79JN89]

i love this song...

[cidiose]

This is from the third season I guess, and the " "some good some evil part" when he fought grayson

[ptthunder]

good show, but a poor imitation compared w/the original movie.

[BillyJimmyLee]

it doesn't imitate it, but simply builds on it. It used to be a hell of a show. Christoph Lambert isn't a good actor either,in fact he sucks! It's the story that is intriguing!

[ptthunder]

billy- i completely disagree, an the awards he's won for everything from greystoke to highlander in europe back me up. the acting in european films is subtle and much more sophisticated than the cartoonish melodramatic acting ur used to in hollywood movies and tv.

[SylletBang]

indeed. lambert remains the best mcleod and highlander. i like the series, but the spin off movies with duncan are just fucked up. first highlanders movie remains the best.

[JoshWhitaker87]

i remember this show, never saw the movies, but bout to check them out of the library, but above all else, awsome opening theme for an awsome awsome awsome AWSOME AWSOME, did i say awsome, oh i did, well then, FUCKING AWSOME SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[bradwolf07]

What a great show, I use to watch this show every chance I got

[MarkAnthony27]

AMAZING show.  The Source was a let down though...What a crappy prize, the ability to have a child? PsstSo over rated I'll take immortality and no string sex anyway. LOL

[lunchbox118]

@MarkAnthony27 Unless u get the herps or AIDS. that would suck!

[burby8100]

@MarkAnthony27 yeah they could have said it had the ability to wish for anything but just for a baby? most immortals don't care anyway.

[spidlenexor]

@MarkAnthony27 well to live 400 years with no offspring and everyone you care about die of age in the best case will get tiring after a bit

[queefbreeze]

@MarkAnthony27 indeed! LOL

[michelrpg]

@MarkAnthony27 I think the Source was more or less the immortal's ultimate wish: power, a family, mortality, anything they desire. Or rather, I would like to think so.

[MarkAnthony27]

@michelrpg That's a nice thought and one that would have made MUCH more sense then the explanation that was offered in the movie.As I understood it they lost their powers as they got to the source and afterwards Duncan remained mortal.Even if they never really said what the prize was and just ended with Duncan walking off into a bright light thus leaving it up to the viewer would have been better.I think a good ending would have beeen that his memory is erased and it starts all over again! LOL

[michelrpg]

@MarkAnthony27 it does. And that would be a terrible kick to the balls, that eraser ending :P. But I mean, really, do you think that if the prize were REALLY the whole "you can now have kids" thing, evil guys like the kurgan, or that immortal who was killed while still a little girl, would really have gone through the trouble of fighting?

I mean really... the Kurgan... I seriously doubt he'd consider having kids a good prize.

[MarkAnthony27]

@michelrpg I think the Kurgan would be an excellent family man.He seemed to be fond of McCloud's wife after he quickened Ramírez LOLI never understood why McCloud even tried to lead a normal life.You think he would learn after it ending badly time after time that the only logical thing to do is to spend your time hunting other Immortals and getting stronger. Any attempt at having friends or family would only result in them getting hurt or killed.So they should have been clearer that he prize.:)

[joeovip]

Wow! So many memories. I was a religious fan too. This intro it's so cooool. The show did great, obviously at the end they ran out of ideas, anyway I always remember it. :)

[TotallyUninspired]

pure awesomeness!

[CosmicVillain]

i like when the narrator says "he is duncan mcleod... the highlander" and also the beat that starts at 0:49 by queen

[iamthemanoftheworld1]

DUDE!!! I could die today and be happy!: '- )

[terrythomas0722]

I watched this show RELIGIOUSLY!!!!!! This made me start collecting swords. I have Ducan's and Connor's katana. BOTH AUTOGRAPHED!!!!!!!!

[nightcrow90]

did you buy them from the website? highlanderfan-site? cause im looking for clancy browns kurgan sword.

[Cyclonus84]

The SyFy channel show Highlander every night at 1 AM.

[MrTheoriginalderek]

@Cyclonus84 Hell Yeah ; D

[omgtoms]

lol i havent seen this for few years

[moviepunk8217]

Holy shit. This intro makes me wish I had a dick and a sword. Fuuuuuck! So badass!

[Elvendur]

Does anyone have a shortened version of Princes of the Universe? I like the song.. But I don't like the WHOLE song.. Mostly not the first half minute.

[3rdDraft]

omg the music make this intro sooo fucking awesome!

[shannonbug18]

i love this show and i own the whole series on dvd. WOO go Highlander

[mardoggs]

This show and the 1st movie were great the other sequels sucked ass.

[lunchbox118]

3 was good too. 2 sucked MIGHTY dick and the retarded sci fi channel movies blew even harder.

[MartinRPGMaster]

FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOM!

[terrythomas0722]

LOL!!!!! Nice one.

[nightcrow90]

the series for Highlander had some cheesy actor but some good 2. Like Methos and Kronos etc

[BASTARDUS1MAXIMUS]

I'm Duncan McLeod from the Clan McLeod. That's like the "Bond, James Bond" phrase from Highlander

[mac87ivan]

I used to love this show

[massi2k]

LOL! THis show was epic!!!!!!! The intro + music brought so many memories back!

[starfish50]

It is a shame they stopped making the show, it was one of a kind.

[bobbyhill19899]

well after making about 116 episodes im sure they were bout out of ideas

[NewStriker22]

This was a great show.

[pwnza721]

I remember i was watching this , i liked it , and the song is great :]

[NosOtorvali]

Классный фильм!=)))

[peter169]

this kicks ass!!!!!

[LamogiasELLAS]

just wondering but are the serie's episode on web?

[ChicoEdge]

The first season is on the YouTube shows page.

[eden1437]

Love this show! I'm actually watching it right now on scfi and missed the opening :)

[epanico85]

The best!!!

[DeathRiderHDG]

i remember watching this with my father as a little boy. great times

[xellyia]

I watched much of the series myself back in the day, it was pretty good. I also watched Highlander Endgame in Theater when it came out. It wasn't bad but I can't say I really remember anything about it.

[allhailfoamy1]

great series i love it when i was like 6 and my mom had to take back her vhs of this from my room at night or she wouldn't get em back

[cuteshadow78]

these better than the movie....story actor in movie suck.....

[delany1983]

La cancion se llama Princes of the Universe por Queen.

[Fargiori]

com e llama la cancicon

song?

[aladonocturno]

la mejor serie

[87Hyoga]

Doctoer Who's a great show, but so is highlander how can you dis highlander.

[mcflyfarm]

greatest show ever made? are you fucking serious??? It's adapted from a film for fucks sake. As far as tv shows go - its not even original. Unlike, oh i dunno, somethint like Doctor Who, a man who can travel in time and space in a police box, and change his body when he dies???

[Itjed]

OMG! @ mcflyfarm: are you kidding or simply insane? Doctor Who and Highlander are completely different! And for your education: so many tv shows have first been a movie. Plus Highlander the series has totally outgrown the Highlander movies!

[metallicafanga]

it great show

[nenabunena]

I used to love this show! Lambert's still my favorite though!

[Vampiresanddemonds]

I'm thinking this if from season 4 or 5.... Methos, Connor, Kronos, Duncan; These are the greatest in order XD thanks for the upload

[hillsyde]

Does anyone have the opening sequence on Mp3. Let know if you do.

[lazarush1980]

im guessing that since you asked for the opening sequence on mp3 .... you dont know who it is????

"Princes of the Universe" by QUEEN

you can find it on a couple of their albums:)

In fact QUEEN did the entire soundtrack for the original movie - "its a kinda magic" - "who wants to live forever" - "hammer to fall" to name but a few:)

[AdultSwimBumpChannel]

I still have issue #0 after all these years.....

[ioratiskrishserhetai]

888

[CBoavida]

I wanna be just like him, sans the head hunting, that is :-)

[Repainer]

The movie is so much better, this show and duncan don't even come close

[jamesjohnking]

The movie had a style the TV show lacked. Great music. Better fight choreography. Better actors. And in the Director's Cut a more coherent story. Also the Immortals didn't produce swords from out of nowhere. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the Kurgan's ridiculous sword.

[GriggsC123]

Adrian Paul looks Like Bret Hitman Hart

[sandshrew666]

connor mccloud is better

[jamesjohnking]

Way better. Lambert may be French but can at least pass in appearance for a Scot. Adrian Paul however looks like the greaseball he is.

[nejiguy1]

the begining of the first series is beter

[Dlind19]

grrrrrrrrrreat!

[krezzz3]

what happen ireland? no shillelagh totten' immortal? LOL he probably been killed

[andrewsaswom]

its great

i was actually named duncan because my brother loved this show and i came to love it too

[laocrown]

Yea I would have to agree....its is probably the greatest TV show ever made!!!!!

[spartythespart]

most of this was on hulu recently too

[BIGD0V]

Scotland #1

:D:D

[MariPuu]

aw, how i miss this serie T_T!!!!!!!!!

[rodmanbest]

I used to watch the animated series of "Highlander" as a kid.

[krezzz3]

me too but it was trash compared to the tv series. i think the move was trash to the tv series as well, but i was just a kid. Oh the days! dragon ball, ninja turtles, transformers, ronin warriors, highlander, kung-fu, xena warrior princess, Hercules! all that killing and living in the hood desensitized me to violence. especially all the anime and kung-fu flix my dad and uncles let me wacth

[thamasta88]

i concur with u on the best shows to watch

[AteamsMrt]

The show was trash compared to the movies with Christpher Lambert, fuck dude, Adrine Douchbag doesn't even look like he's even close to Scotish, he looks fucking Itilian or Haspanic. Also he acting sucks.

[krezzz3]

i was young and i didnt care anything about that

[shadow7725]

They shouldve just made one movie and nothing else after that.

[CBoavida]

You suck!

Ignorant asshole.

Prick!

[tiliman32]

lmfao the tv show sucked the 1st movie was the best and should of been left alone

connor mcleod > duncan

[dmsparr]

Really? Did you actually watch any of the episodes? It also went on for a few good years, so it couldn't have sucked that much.

[andrewsaswom]

yeah specially since thats my name

[dave929]

This intro is from a later season and I always HATED the "eyes-over-glasses" glance. A mix of 'I'm smarter than you', "Look at me" and 'provocative'. Still, a good series.

[davi1402]

What is the name of the song????

[SynCrew]

Princes of the Universe by Queen

[davi1402]

Thenk´s

[heyzeus7]

Great intro and great series...but what the hell was up with that silly 'OK, you got me' grin they made all the female stars flash in those old shows?

[gryphon37]

As much as I love this show....Id like to take a moment to profess how much i hated Tessa.....Does anyone else feel me on this one? She was always a snotty ,wimpering , self-righteous liability. Her accent, rather than being sexy, exponentially amplified the "nails down the chalkboard" obnoxiousness that was her character. When she finally did something worthwhile....like hit that scalper dude with the car, she spent the remainder of the show sniveling in self pity. I wanna smack her: )

[MAJLAD]

WTF?

[SiliconBong]

I prefer the simple beggining, with only the music by Queen. Maybe that was only in New Zealand.

[zonekid]

No, we had that here in america too i'm pretty sure. Though that last time i saw highlander was off of a VHS tape...

[SiliconBong]

Cool.

it's 22:00 on the 10 of the 04 here.

[Dolpsgrenadier]

i wonder if the hoff is in the show, that would be awsome

[WookhieManJoe]

best show opening EVER

[LondonIrish707]

fuckin shite
