  • I don't know how many times I've watched this on tv, VHS, then the various dvds and now the blu ray version. It never gets old, not sure why. My favourite movie by far.

  • At 1:30 the song is "don't lose your head" correct

  • @shadow7112 yep and here's the song /watch?v=Dm_MIka1sUI

  • why do people not know about the FRIGAN HIGHLANDER!

  • last night around midnight i was looking through netflix, about ready for bed, and my dad walks in. he says "have you ever seen highlander?" i say no. he says i should watch it, and i reply that i have to get up at 6 for school. he then says "it's worth it." he was right

  • Anyone know the name of the track played at 1:30 ? I remember it in the film and I've been looking to find it with no luck.

  • THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE HIGHLANDER!!!

  • THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!...

    unless there are two... or more...

  • Prancin aboot with your heads full of eyeballs

  • I heard this movie won the acedemy award for best movie ever

  • i watch this movie for the first time last week and it is now my favorite movie

  • is this the movie where he does not die unless someone cut off his head, been trying to find the name of that movie for a long time

  • @taiamon yes

  • @arcadeshopper awesome, didnt they make a sequel in 2008 to

  • @taiamon They made a shitload of sequels. None of them were liked well by anyone.

  • @taiamon Well worth seeing. I'd also recomend Highlander Endgame. A threat from Connor's past has come forth and he's so dangerous it will take two McClouds to stop him. Connor is joined by his kinsman Dunncan (from the tv series) but there can be only one McCloud.

  • If he is Colin McCloud how come he speaks with an outrageous French accent?

  • @DroopSack Connor, CONNOR.

  • this movie looks very confusing

  • Can anybody name a title for that funky terminator-esque track playing around 1:30?

  • @southofheaven123 back to kill?

  • Dane Cook brought me here...

    THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE HIGHLANDER!

  • there can only be oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • They couldn't have picked a better band for the soundtrack! Queen definitely adds emotion to this great film!

  • haha dammmn i grew up on this movie back in the early 90's

  • Forever will this movie be immortal!!

  • ..

    Netflix

  • This is bein remade >:( Better not be colin farrell

  • Wish i was an immortal

  • I never saw this all the way through

  • Probably the most badass way to save the world would be to run at the bad guy with a giant freaking sword yelling, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!" and then cutting his head off.

  • is this a good movie?

  • @AncientHistoryBuff yeah it's pretty good, it's a silly but entertaining classic 80s flick, it's not really a masterpiece but it is compared to it's awful sequels and it's much much better than Twilight

  • THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!

    Eye.

  • @MasterOfTheXP i belive its aye laddie or lassy

  • There were loads of great movies from the 80's with crappy FX and in 30 yrs they will be saying the same today's movies. Appreciate this for the awesome movie it was and still is. Even with the lame FX its still a great a great story.

    And yes, both sequels were unbelievably lame.

  • @sodaplug lol, but the worst is when they take one of those kind of movies and re-film it to make it look super cool, but in fact it ruins everything. especially the youth

  • Yea, this film will live on many a generation...

  • PLEASE Hollywood remake this movie! It really deserves better fate than what the 80s could provide

  • @Hypnotized81

    What are you, crazy???

    Look at what Hollywood has made out of the sequels! Have you seen "Highlander 2: The Quickening"? How about the one from last year, I think: "Highlander: The Source"? Have you?!?

    How about every single remake of pretty much freakin' anything, courtesy of Hollywood?

    No, Hollywood! No touchy the Highlander! Nooo touchy!!!

  • @TheLadyInPiiink The Quickening was bad because company that financed film meddled it to death. The Source is SyFy Channel original movie, they all are bad by default.

    Big budget remake would be cool.

  • THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

  • my mom named me after the highlander. Should i be proud or not?

  • Please god don't let this remake go ahead. It wont be the same without Queen's music.

    Something are just best left alone!

  • For some reason, the VHS quality of this trailer is much more attractive to me than the clean Bluray presentation of the movie that we have today. It just... feels better, at least as far as this movie's concerned.

  • @LadyInPiiink I agree, there should of been only 1

  • 1:41 

  • whats the song at the end?

  • Highlander: There Can Be Only One! Starring; Raiden, James Bond, Lily Devalos and Lex Luthor, coming soon to theatres! :D

  • @David315842 don't forget Mr. Krabs

  • @arcadeshopper He and Lex are the same guy. Remember, there can be only one! :D

  • @David315842 Which Raiden?

  • Among the undead, he's my favorite.

  • they should have stopped after this one

  • Even though this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, this is the best movie ever made.

  • @ChipmunkAsylum what

  • Lol , I always wanted to be an immortal when i was a kid. live forever, but there will be always someone who wants your head off

  • I can think of quite a lot of things that could kill an immortal, a bazooka for instance.

  • The Kurgan = legend

  • exelente movie!!!

  • Wait... if hes immortal from birth and cannot age, shouldnt he be a baby still

  • @SlyEdits I believe the first quickening is where they stop ageing.  Considering he seemed to age right up to that point..

  • @arcadeshopper no its the first death tht prevents them from aging. I think in the series there was a twelve year old immortal bc he died at 12.

  • @arcadeshopper They are reborn as Immortal after a painful death, this is explained in the T.V show actually.

  • @arcadeshopper the first time they die is when they stop aging

  • @arcadeshopper

    Wrong, they stop aging after they die a terrible death. Man didn't anyone watch the tv shows or movies?

  • @teamzulu16 actually it doesn't need to be terrible, just unnatural.

  • @SlyEdits

    Until they die for the first time, the age like any normal person. After they've been killed, they return immortal. They never have said what would happen if an immortal is never killed and simply dies of old age though. I'm guessing if that happens, their immortality never activates.

  • @SlyEdits I think they age normally untill they get killed the first time, at which point the immortality takes over. When the Kurgan kills Connor at the beginning of the movie, that is when he becomes immortal.

  • @SlyEdits The immortals stop aging when they first die.

  • @SlyEdits - He only became immortal from the point the Kurgan ran his sword through him and then had The Quickening 5 years later, courtesy of Ramirez.

  • @SlyEdits Whenever they are killed for the first time, thats when they stop aging. Connor was killed in combat when he was in his mid 20's or so, and thats where he stopped aging

  • @SlyEdits

    No, you don't become immortal until you die a bad death. Some "immortals" never do become immortal because they don't die a bad way. It's like the lottery, then you ALSO need to die terribly.

  • I get goosebumps when Connor says he is immortal....powerful scene.

  • There can only be one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Monster movie RESPECT FOR YOU!

  • I also love the combination of "Don't Lose Your Head" and "Princes Of The Universe" in this trailer (1:29-2:24)

  • Y'Know, I liked this movie till the end. The ending just ruined the whole thing, more specifically the prize. Seriously, after the MASS GENOCIDE of a race, the prize just seemed insulting... Not even going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it ('Cause everyone needs to see it at least once), but DEAR LORD!!!!! You'd think they'd get a better prize than *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER*...

  • People say I don't look my age... if they only knew.

  • what?? queen played music in this movie?? only one more reason to watch it

  • "It won an award.

    Best movie ever"

  • QUEEN is the best!!!

  • @victormenah Definately the best

  • I love Queen, I love 80's films and I love Highlander... Best combo ever

  • How does he become an immortal?

  • Yes u should

  • The only place I've ever heard of this movie is from Talladega Nights, and if Ricky Bobby's is telling me to watch it, should I?

  • @dano4celts Yes! Only the first one ( this one) though...stay FAR away from the sequels.

  • @dano4celts Watch it, love it, avoid the sequels at all costs, and when you're done tune in to the Highlander TV series which I'm also a fan of.

    Forget about "continuity" between the movie (this is the only Highlander movie that exists!) and the TV series, because some people get hung up on it.

  • Highlander - a byproduct of a decade that produced so many original and memorable movies. Highlander is certainly no exception. For me, its a masterpiece, a unique movie which never received the credibility that it should have.  Unfortunately, the Highlander franchise never recovered from the destruction that its sequels left behind (although the series briefly revived the franchise).

  • Great film kick ass soundtrack. This is the only one.

  • God I'd never want to be the only immortal.

    My friend commited suicide this November and I find it impossible to even think of him,imagine how it would feel if that happened for every.single.person.you.know.

  • @HeartYukitty  Yeah, i feel the same way

  • holy s*** that's Sean Connery! YES, I JUST NOTICED THAT!

  • wait a minute, Connor MacLeod was born in 1518 and became immortal in 1536 which makes him 18 years old when he became immortal, but he says "we've been kinsman 20 years" well how can they be when he is only 18?

  • wow trailers were super long

  • It won the academy award..... for best movie.. ever made

  • I just realized that the only real Scotsman was made to be the Spaniard...

    DERP!

  • @the1stLadyDoctor Haha, gotcha

  • 29 people aren't the one.

  • First you cut the head, then you get the power...then you get the women!!!

  • This seems like truely a badass movie. I'm getn it next on netflix. I can alredy tell its gona be sick

  • Ohh, great movie. DO you remember this scene when the Queen's music is playing and the first wife of McCloud appears with gray hair?? I still do and this is one of the most powerful scenes from a movies.

  • And the point is...????

  • lol no one wanted to see this film untill they read at the end that the band QUEEN was doing the soundtrack to the film .

  • @lotofhate i dont know about that queen lost alot of main stream appeal in 80s from what i understand

  • @youngladaustin2012 They did in America, but not in Europe. Queen's soundtrack (although it was never made official) for Highlander is awesome.

  • we need a true sequel or a GOOD remake

  • ricky bobby gives two thumbs up

  • the Highlander was a documentary and the events happened... in real time.

  • @Leatherbubba Are you a bloody Watcher????!!

  • whats the song at 1:33?

  • THE SCHEDUALED REMAKE CAN KISS MY ASS! WHOS WITH ME!

  • It won the academy award for best movie ever made. Ricky bobby.

  • THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!

  • Thumbs up for Quan Chi

    hahaha

  • 100 times better than Twilight

  • @elcap22

    isn't everything?

  • Highlander is a GREAT MOVIE. All the other flicks and TV series should be discounted as being in anyway related to this master stroke ! ;) You can enjoy the TV series for what it was, a flawed rehash of the concept. Look at it separately from the original film. Junk all the sequel movies .... :D

  • Yea There Can Be Only One highlander movie! The series sucked n the sequels weren't any better.

  • Too bad the sequels sucked balls.

  • Random fact: the Kurgan is played by the same person who voiced Baron Praxis in Jak II and is also the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants

  • Great movie :D

  • Just finished watching this movie it was AWSOME! one of my favorite movies of all time now.

  • This movie is a timeless classic.

    It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it has a certain flavour to it that makes it one of the most memorable action movies ever with a brilliant Sean Connery. The soundtrack contribution of Queen on the other hand DEFINITELY is a masterpiece and makes 50% of its atmosphere.

  • all the immortals were liars they all said there can be only when when in fact they were many =p

  • @serioushamster yes..many but there can be only one in the end.. at least until Hollywood decides there's more.

  • @arcadeshopper And what about the Four Horsemen?

  • @arcadeshopper to me this moive is the only highlander sow the secuel and forgetit, this is a movie whit non

  • @arcadeshopper There Should Have Been Only One.

  • @serioushamster

    Yeah, that was a connumdrum for me as well!! Why kill all the others if that meant you were the only one? So then what? The only ancient being, or do you hook up with the vampires that may be as old and can remember the olden times as well as you.....lol

  • @serioushamster There can be only one... DEMOKNIGHT!!1

  • Highlander Endgame was okay in my opinion. Highlander 2 and 3 just sucked ass...

  • The only good highlander movie

  • Reboot and remake this franchise, it's not over, there doesn't have to be only one!

    The source is far beyond a good cap to the feeble series!

  • Ramirez! Teach this guy how to use this sword using a banana!

  • Strange accent for a highlander. Lol.

  • @VredesStal People of that time were proud of their clan and kinsmen. You did not have to have the name "Macleod" to be in the clan.

  • I love the way that these old movie trailers sound.

  • @FlyingFocs

    its the trailer guy hu makes it awesome :D

  • I don't consider the sequels to this movie to be in canon

  • @PhantosTheHedgehog God I think half the planet would agree with you on that one brother! It was a tragedy what they did with the sequels.

  • THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONLY ONE ! woooooo hooo haaa hoooooo

  • He looks like Thomas Jane!

  • i refuse to watch the other movies, i do not wanna ruin this film in my head

  • The original and definitely the best... Hope they don't ruin things with the remake ( as they did with the sequels and tv series)... If you can't improve something don't bother....

  • There can be only one, and there should have only been one movie.

  • @cerberus144 unless they made sequels that told MORE of Connor's past adventures, instead of fucking up the future things like Highlander 2-The Source

    still, WOULD accept Duncan and his TV series no matter what, but him killing Connor...NOOOOOO

  • @cerberus144

    as well as an awesome tagline you can't help but think the makers were trying to tell the film industry something haha

  • @cerberus144 endgame was okay but the others were awful beyond expression

  • @cerberus144 yup the fact there is a series contradicts the entire first movie and End Game can suck a dick for killing off Conner Macloud

  • It won a oscar, for best movie of all time!

  • music by queen, a smashingly original premise, a great villain and a KILLER tagline, defiantly one of my all time favourite movies....in fact im gonna watch it right now :D

  • i looked up some stuff about the game they were making it was supposed to be realeased in 2008 but for some reason they cancelled it and as far as i can find it does not currently have a realease date if anyone else learns differently plz let me know.

  • @TheZman1234567890 actually i read on wikipedia it's on an indefinite hiatus

  • @Lonewolf67100 I read that article as well, and while it does say it is suspected to be under indefinite hiatus, on the right-hand side it has a release date for March 30, 2011. Probably should be taken with a grain of salt or two.

  • I loved that movie and it's model in the end there can be only one.

  • I miss the voice of Don Lafontaine

  • @sylvanha me too

  • Gotta love that Highlander - even though Christopher Lambert (who I harbor nothing personal against) couldn't do a Scottish accent to save his life. Of course, Sean Connery couldn't do a Spanish accent for Ramirez, the Egyptian posing as a Spaniard (I guess Ramirez has lived long enough to master dialects & accents for when he travels?).

    Still, a great piece of cult fantasy. Plus, music by Queen.

  • This movie made me think Scots are damn cool. Actually just heard that they are making a videogame of this franchise, I hope they don't screw it up and make it into a Sandbox game or something... Highlander series has been screwed way too many times..... (the anime is not that bad actually....)

  • @hanchiman actually i looked up some stuff about the game it was supposed to come out in 2008 but for some reason they cancelled it and does not currently have a realease date which pisses me off if you or anyone else who sees this comment learns anything differently id like to know plz

  • highlander without adrian paul is not highlander

  • @delpher32exe You know what, I agree. Chris Lambert set the way but Adrian Paul is the REAL highlander.

  • @delpher32exe but christopher is hotter than adrian , sorry. and the plot of the highlander films .... ?! women ( i can only say my mind , and i am a woman ;-) ) watch the highlander movies like men watch pornograpy : the plot is all the same to me , i watch it because of the eyes, the body and so on of christopher , hoping to get a look under his kilt (knowing that it happens in none of the movies ,but hope dies last ;-O )

  • @delpher32exe they both greate actors

  • WHY are there not more movies with big swordfights and a soundtracks by Queen?!?!

  • @mandolinroad Think this is epic. Flash makes it look like a slug

  • Greatest 2:24 minutes of my life.

  • there should have been only one

  • Saw this film back in 86, on paper it should not have worked. A Scot playing an Egyptian, a Frenchman - who had only just learned to speak English - playing a Scot and an American playing a Russian. But on the screen it just worked! It is one of my favourite films of the last 25 years. Tell you the truth, I don't think the studio or producers know why either. As this was one of the best, the sequels were the worst, they junked all that was good and imported lots of crap.

  • @sonofcy yup agreed now i have never seen the original movie up until last week monday but prior to that i watched the tv show and End Game i was spared from The Quicking but lets be honest End Game is right up there but damn was the original movie when i watched it kick ass better than most shit they pass of as action movies i'll tell you the 80's were the golden age of action movies
