In Star Wars how has everyone forgot about the Jedi Knights only 20 years after a war they were at the centre of?
It would be like no-one could remember anything about WW2 special forces in the 1960’s.
I suppose space is a big place?
@Cougar there's a version on 🏴☠️bay marked as "Director's cut/Renegade version". Only 900Mb so not great quality but probably on par with an ancient VHS!
It's probably a rip from the VHS..!
I'm immediately sceptical because that's two different versions.
hmmm, I've never actually bothered to watch any version but this website says not https://www.figmentfly.com/published/highlander2article.html#:~:text=Wha t's%20the%20best%20way%20to,editing)%2C%20story%20and%20footage.
looks like "Director’s cut: Renegade version" is the name of the 4:3 VHS release, and "Director's cut" is the name given to the letterboxed widescreen Laserdisc release, but they're exactly the same length so I'm assuming it's the same cut, they've just dropped the "Renegade" part of the name.
The downloadable version is letterboxed, and the quality is actually not terrible so I reckon it's a rip from the Laserdisc.
4 pages in and noone has mentioned Face Off.
Bad guys henchmen in the operating theatre when the bad guy gets the good guy's face stitched on.
Same henchmen in the penthouse/apartment when the good guy turns up with the bad guy's face and they side with him in the firefight.

Gus, we are going to need a bigger laundry.
(In Europe access to many common chemicals is strictly controlled - this has led to some very inventive preparations of nitrates and mineral acids by hobbyists, all very time consuming.)

Yes, that's me misremembering.
That page, whilst comprehensive, is out of date. The "director's cut" I was referring to earlier is actually the "special edition."
Wikipedia:
Producers Panzer and Davis revisited Highlander II once again in 2004. Dubbed the "Special Edition", this cut was nearly identical to the Renegade Version, but with a few alterations, such as the introduction of new CGI special effects throughout the film, including a now-blue shield as originally intended, and a small piece of voice-over work by Lambert.
...
Reviewing the 2004 "Special Edition" DVD, David Ryan of DVD Verdict gave it a score of 69 out of 100 and said that "[this] is the best version of this film that [the producers] can make with the material they have on hand. It's still not a particularly good film—but it's infinitely superior to the original version...
@Cougar fair enough! Here you go then:
https:/ /www.amazon.co.uk/Highlander-Special-DVD-Region-NTSC/dp/B00028G7IY
(although I might suggest that's slightly more than you want to spend for a terrible, terrible film 😂)
(edit: why can't this forum do amazon links properly still 🤣)
Yeah, I'd seen that.
Somewhat shockingly, I don't think I own anything that can play R1 DVDs any more. My old Sony (dating from the days where region-free required a mod chip) went bang and I never replaced it.
