Product Description

Product Description

In the new tale, the lone warrior Colin travels with the wise-cracking ghost Amergan across a desolate landscape searching for the immortal despot Marcus Octavius, who killed his lover Moya on the Celtic plains tens of centuries ago.. Will Colin lead the people to freedom or become consumed by hate? The answer may lie with the beautiful yet tough freedom fighter Dahlia, who has a mysterious connection to Moya. Colin must confront Marcus in a showdown where the future of all men will be decided. There can be only one…

Amazon.com

A distant and animated sequel to the 1986 Highlander, which starred Christopher Lambert as an immortal Scottish swordsman, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance concerns the tale of Colin MacLeod, a 2nd century, Celtic warrior who becomes immortal following his defeat at the hands of Roman tyrant Marcus Octavius. Colin spends the next couple of millenia chasing after Marcus--also immortal--as the latter reinvents himself time and again as a ruler of kingdoms in every corner of the globe. The longtime duel extends into Earth's dystopian future about 200 years from now, where Colin--now a wandering mercenary--finds Marcus once again making lives miserable as head of a private government wielding a deadly virus. Drawing Colin into the fight is the lovely Dahlia, hauntingly reminiscent of every woman the hero has loved over hundreds of years. Dynamic, visually compelling, and boldly imaginative, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is full of surprises and more than just another story of an embittered loner meandering through a futuristic wasteland. Directed by the prolific Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Neo-Tokyo). --Tom Keogh

The Best Highlander Sequel EVER
5 Stars
The Best Highlander Sequel EVER
I had this DVD a LONG time ago. I remember when Manga Entertainment had released it, and at the time I was very familiar with Yoshiaki Kawajiri's work on Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. I remember thinking that they shouldn't have made a Highlander anime, because the property of Highlander had degraded quite a bit after the first movie. That movie as a Director's Cut is flawless and beautiful, despite it's 80's-ness. The second one disappointed me and thrilled me at the same time. I went to see the third movie with friends, and I was happy with the return to a more modern story, but it was still too cliche. So when Kawajiri's version came out, I had low expectations. But as a damned fan boy, I was a slave to the property of Highlander and bought it anyway. I was so excited to see that the producers had a great script, but more importantly, allowed Kawajiri to tweak the script and work it into a better film, as opposed to just another so-SO chapter. You see, I also watched the TV series with the Duncan McLeod character starring Adrian Paul. The series and the films always seemed to invade my REM sleep also, because I had some disturbing dreams while watching that series. I dreamt that Duncan's woman, Tessa Noël, was murdered by Connor McLeod and that a feud had begun between them as a result. The Film Highlander: Endgame was almost like a fulfillment to that dream, except for the crude feud. Connor also had made an appearance in the series after I had that dream, so I was happy such a dour happenstance never happened. Tessa died under much different circumstances, but I don't want to get into that. This film, Search For Vengeance is what I happily find to be the perfect accompaniment to this series as a whole. Search For Vengeance befits the formula of the first film, without falling into the cheap carbon copy feel that every sequel and series falls into. For me, even though I lived in the sequels and series, this Film is a breath of fresh air, yet keeps the familiar tropes of the original, without ANY COMPROMISE. This animated/anime film is more than worthy to sit on your shelf next to the original film.The synopsis is simple . . . a man who was a Scottish general for and of the "barbarians" who stood against the Roman armies during the B.C. era of Rome's occupation of Europe and its attempt to unite the continent (which succeeded temporarily), is the focus of this story. Colin failed, his freedom fighters were defeated, and his beloved wife Moira, was crucified. He went through over 2000 years of a quest for Vengeance against the man named Marcus, who lead the Roman Armies and killed his wife. The story presented here is a tribute to the style, and aesthetic of Highlander, while telling a different story. Even though it's core theme is Vengeance, Kawajiri worked out a better story and theme with the producers who own the Highlander property. He built in themes of hope, rebellion, and FAITH into the story. These new themes help to make this film richer and more dynamic. The film is better for having Kawajiri at the helm, because even the producers of this film, admit that the script "served the director", and that he made the film transcend the original design of simple revenge and action. Kawajiri probably also saved the action elements, by bringing in his unique brand of cyber combat and pacing to the story and action. Even if you've never seen Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and you are only a fan of the Highlander property in part, or as a whole, then this is the Highlander film for you, because Yoshiaki Kawajiri is more than an anime director. Whether he is willing to admit it himself, or NOT, he is a FILMAKER. This film stands on its own feet as a story.
