I originally made a lower quality version of this music video (not the one posted here on youtube) back in the early 90's using 2 VCRs and a dual cassette boom box. I always wanted to remake a better quality version of this video after getting the "A Kind of Magic" CD by Queen and the DVD of the movie Highlander. I put it off for several years but finally made a better quality version (99% same editing cuts as the VHS version) in 2005 using the CD, DVD and a PC. Two years later I finally got around to putting it up on youtube. I hope you like it.
Oh btw, some of you "old timers" (like myself) may notice something familiar about the credits in my video. It's my "homage" to my favorite music video show from the 80's, TBS' "Night Tracks".
Just a note for those that know me another online name but might find it hard to believe me when I tell them that I made this video, I am also ARKM of ARKM Sabers.

You left us 30 years ago. At the age of 45. Gone. But never forgotten. There Can Be Only One. And that "One" is Freddie Mercury.
ha man was awesome man or mate ? :)
Clancy Brown one of the most underrated actors of all time.
will be the actor of "Black Hand" in the warcraft movei :3333333
one of the strongest Orc leaders (the strongest as i remember)
He really is. Amazing Actor.
agreed
Agg agg agg agg!
This song is so underrated :( this is one of my favorite Queen's song, Freddie's vocal is insane here, amazing
My Space ....I will give any money in my life just to hear New York New York versión of Queen
At times he sounds like Tom Araya!
Freddie showing that he can blast out the Power Metal just as well as sing operatic overtures.
Apparently Freddie didn't really like the song because him and John Deacon didn't like metal. Which is surprising and you genuinely can't tell, because he sings the shit out of it. But to be honest, that just makes me respect him even more. Never a guy to phone it in.
@@dars5229nope they were both massive disco fans lol 😜 you can tell as soon as another one bites the dust kicks in 🍀🔥♠️🍺🍻🍻
Clancy Brown scared the crap out of me as a kid as the Kurgan. Pure merciless evil.
Pure merciless pride, fun, lust for life and accomplishment!
he was the perfect villain. Ultimate antagonist!!! He knew the rules and lusted after the prize!
He scared the crap out of the entire filming crew,not just you..
No he is the perfect warrior..
Clancy Brown is fucking awesome. I’ll watch anything he’s in
I have lost count how many times I've seen this movie and the soundtrack for me is probably the best soundtrack ever, every song has its place in the film and its timeless.
Clancy Browns 'Kurgan' - quite simply the best most chilling 'villain' ever. Not bullets, stabbing, drowning or electrocution could kill him, just beheading by the sword of another immortal....."there can be only one !"
Highlander was a great film not just because of The acting and storyline, but that the Greatest rock band in the world was the soundtrack
Greatness is defined by album sales. And they have sold 300 million albums and 100 million singles as per Brian May saying it on a Breakfast TV show back in January 2009 !
"hardly the greatest" quote is not appropriate in this case :)
***** nah goodmatt they are for sure the greatest bc its 2016 and people still listen to queen and recognize fred's voice
+goodmatt 10 yeah they are not Metallica or the Beatles
***** goodmatt, your statement "That can be said about countless other bands as well" is simply not true and you know that. A handful of bands, is a better phrase.
No, success is defined by album sales. Greatness is defined by talent.
Clancy Brown is so underappreciated. He was genuinely creepy as The Kurgan. I heard on a Highlander documentary that he did his character so well that even the film crew were afraid of him!!
That's funny, because Clancy Brown is the nicest guy you can imagine.
@@derchonepernhardt2048 Fun fact: he apologized profusely to the nuns after the after the scene in the church where The Kurgan was being a creepy perv to them because he felt so bad about it. Helluva guy
The voice actor of Mr. Krabs from "SpongeBob SquarePants" as well.
@@necrosunderground that's awesome didn't know that
Clancy Brown rocks! He was amazing in Starship Troopers - so much character and charisma. One of those screen actors who immediately grabs your attention no matter the role. He was scary as hell when I saw Highlander when I was about 9 or 10!
Freddie at his limit. Masterful.
The guitar solo in this is so worth it
Kurgan is an ultimate villain. Can't think of anyone more evilly intense.
Mr Burns
@antoniosabatini775
"I've something to say
It's better to burn out
Than fade away!"
He wasn't evil he was just so old and tires that the only thrill of living was to do the unthinkable.
@@nrm4754 Cady was out for revenge, Kurgan for the price but yeah, Max was bad ;)
Eric Cartman
In my opinion, "Gimme the prize" is the most slept on Queen song. It's basically classic metal. I LOVE hearing Freddie Belt it out like that! What a band! 💪😎👍 #QUEENFOREVER
yet again Queen kicking ass in another brilliant classic movie
in this song Freddie and Queen are state of pure Rock ...... Freddie has a scary voice, tone reaches impressive ......
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Rock!
Agree. Freddie voice here is like a thunder. In other songs is like velvet. Such great talent in a unique artist. Freddie rules!
THIS IS METAL NOT ROCK
Giusepp Metallic No. This is Sparta!!
@@giuseppmetallic8872 yes it is ... those brits make all the kind of music
Bagpipe guitar at 3:19 I really love it!! Sounds like Big Country.
Brian May is the only Rock Guitarist to come up with an idea like
"Bag pipe guitar solo" 3:18
Queen is Heavy Metal,Pop,Rock n Roll,Sinfonic,Techno,Opera,Drama,Hard Rock,Ballads,Epic!! QUEEN ARE THE GREATEST
Toffee nosed boarding schoolers, but I like them.
Forgive me father I am a worm
That's what puts them above all the other greats of history that they could take any music genre and make a great song.
YES!!!, all music in one......EPIC!!!!!!,......QUEEN FOR EVER!!!.......
@@therespectedlex9794 Blues,Jazz,Psycodelic rock and trash metal and much more
When Queen occasionally stepped over from rock to heavy metal like with this track they really nailed it.
boltar2003 this is a rock song queen has never crossed into the metal genre ever in any of their songs
This is metal by any sane definition of the genre.
boltar2003 I've been a metal fan for 20+ years this is nothing even remotely close to it, does it have the heavy guitars in the beginning? Yes it does, but it's not heavy enough to be considered metal
Not heavy enough in your opinion. I beg to differ. Metal is a broad church. I'm guessing you don't consider much of metallicas output since 91 is metal either?
Queen was metal. there is no doubt about it. songs like Stone Cold Crazy, Gimme The Prize, and The Hitman are just a few of the songs that fall under the category of metal.
This is one of the BEST movie soundtracks of all time! Clancy Brown played one of the best movie villain's of all time!
Freddie at his finest, good lord what a voice.
I can't remember who said it but someone once described him as being an one-off in an interview and I would have to agree with that.
There wasn't anyone like him before him and there won't be anyone like him now that he's gone.
@@JR-ju3kj It was Phil Collins.
@@BuddyNika That's right. It was! Thanks for that!
God I love Freddie's badass voice in this song! ^^
vocals are amazing. guitars too.
My God that's a voice. I'd seriously forgotten this tune existed.
And to think they made sequels and then, heaven forbid, a bloody TV series on the back of this; fucking sacrilege- THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
Let's behead however thought sequels were a good idea
And absorb there life essense
It was a great tv series. The rest of the movies sucked.
My favorite band in all the world. Mercury and May calling down Thunder and lightning!
what a song...i ve been listening it for 24 years but it never get bored
The only Highlander film.
Made immortal with Queens music..
Forever Freddie........................................
definitely
This and Highlander Endgame were great movies. The tv show was great too.
Queen we're and still are the greatest band in the world
Were*
@@Sirrazorbladez they are .
They just don't make stuff like this anymore. This movie - and the music - still kick ass!

This is PERFECT. And you should hear Clancy laugh in real life....sends shivers down your spine. You keep expecting him to draw a sword from under his suit or something.
Freddie Mercury best vocalist of all time
Well said
You want an argument? :)
@@schizoidboy Lol pleAse, what argument can you give?
@@schizoidboyThen stop talking a load of fucking crap
You are correct.
That's power ! The track is SUPER ! Queen the best ! Complement and decorate the film... Highlander is one of the best movies of the time...
the sheer power of this song gives me goose bumps, classic
This film is the definition of epic, awesome action, great story and one of the best soundtracks ever
Clancy Brown's Kurgan has to be one of the most underrated movie villains of all time. A truly great and memorable bad guy. And by the way, awesome video!
The Dio Brando of the big screen. You just love to hate him.
Damn, your Statement is Gospel.
Him and Vader my top 2
freddie i give you the prize of the greatest rock n roll singer of all the time RIP
Love Highlander, love Queen the ultimate combo
"I know his name"
For many years as a kid i thought at 1:12 the news reporter said something about a macho man.
Amazing song for sure. Mercury at his brutal beastial best.
Niekas negali pavogti žemės iš to, kuriam ji buvo suteikta pentru că nimeni pe pământ nu ar exista dacă nu ar exista οι προηγούμενοι που προσπάθησαν δεν θα κερδίσουν ποτέ.-
One of my favorite movies with my favorite vocalist
This is awesome! Clancy needs more credit as one of the greatest villains of all time as Kurgan! He was legit terrifying
Anyone who says Freddie couldn't sing metal, listen to this song.
And "Tie your mother down", another Freddy sings anything song...
Freddie could sing any genre he wanted. Amazing talent, taken too soon.
who the hell ever said that?? im not even a huge fan but the dude could hit every note
@@ItsTheGofadon't forget stone cold crazy
One of my most favorite movies, one of my top 5 bands and a masterful fusion of the two. Perfect.
I absolutely adore queen, always have always will
Superbly put together. Took me right back to the eighties when music and fashion were awesome and this film is still in my top twenty of all time.
Damn, your Statement is Gospel.
Dude, this should have been the official video for this song. Extremely well done.
Niekas negali pavogti žemės iš to, kuriam ji buvo suteikta pentru că nimeni pe pământ nu ar exista dacă nu ar exista οι προηγούμενοι που προσπάθησαν δεν θα κερδίσουν ποτέ.-
Amazing performance, he could sing anything, any king of music
Clancy brown what an awesome actor......an this is an awesome movie....Christopher lambert, sean connery.....they all did a great job!! An so did you sir, thanx!!!!
That solo on 3.19 minutes!! Oh MY God!!
I can't believe they didn't like this track. This song IS The Kurgan's mind.
Great song
I remember watching this movie with my sister, and when the Kurgan jump-scared us by showing up between the Highlander and Brenda, she let out a yelp of shock and surprise. Those were good times! I miss the '80's. Fear the Kurgan!
Queen is the greatest and my favourite all time band
Nonsense
HIGHLANDER is 1of the Greatest Films ever made. An unabashed MASTERPIECE.
THANKS, Evil Henchman, for such a 'priceless' vid to a Song Queen hated, but you, me & Brian May knew better! Flawless 👏👏👏👏✊☝👑🔥
Had to come back, I'm a big fan of Queen and this song is awesome
I love this song, Kurgan's voice, his greeting-demolish a door.
You love really easy we noticed
Highlander is the best Movie and the Soundtrack..amazing
I love Clancy Brown, he's in my book of cool people
seriously, he makes a onedimension cartooncharacter into one of the best badguys in moviehistory
He was outstanding in "The Shawshank Redemption."
mr crabs lol
William Signs I think what he meant was on paper the Kurgan is a one dimensional character and kind of a cartoony villain, but Clancy Brown’s performance elevated the character
He's even more outstanding in Highlander!!
@@jackhamilton9604 Pretty much, origin of Kurgan's character, motivation behind him etc. it's all - maybe not cartoony villain but for sure cliche villain trope, he was evil "cuz he was evil", he wanted to gain the prize to rule over the world and enslave everything, he was psycho with sadistic past.
I have something to say! It's better to burn out, then to fade away!
+zillafire101 Listen again, that is not what he says. "I have something to say!! It's better to burn in hell, than to fade away!"
+jptucker18 clean yir fuckin ears oot laddie
Not then than
I always use that line on my kids when they say "I have something to say" lol. Love that line
Linda Pritchard bahaahaaa good one!!!
There can be only one Freddie ;-)
THAT is the plain truth! :-)
Love scottish bagpipes played with guitar. Sir Brian, just the best!
awesome track, the greatest band of all time, and highlander fucking awesome movie, and i agree with kurgan it's better to burn out than fade away.
Queen loved the premise of the movie so much they did an entire soundtrack when they were only supposed to do a song or 2
''Give me the prize, just give me the prize'' Awesome song by Queen!!!!
The Kurgen, so bad-ass he smiles even after his head gets cut off.
Clancy Brown is fucking awesome
"HOLY GROUND, HIGHLANDER!"
/watch?v=r3F0L7gt4qk
I've kept track of him... not the best career but he does well. Great voice. Loved that moment in Starship Troopers.
He's trying to be in the remake, as Ramirez.
But, then they'll have to get an absolute giant to play the Kurgan :P
Clancy has shrunken down. He's currently 6'2" since he has gotten a little older (that happens), so it wouldn't be hard to find another tall actor to fill in. Hollywood is filled with either really short people and really tall people. They always go to an extreme to produce more effect with the characters.
4:16 and on...a very energy's climax... powerful voice !! Happy Birthday, Freddie.
There can be oly one.... YOU.
God I love this movie and Queen really are the best group in the world,
After so many years I think this movie is still an amazing kickass! And thanks to Queen's soundtrack it crossed time without aging!
Powerful voice
who lol the Kurgan or Freddie
@@kashifmahmood4766 Can't it be both?
It's about time they made a film of the Kurgan's life story. I know I'd watch it.
+enigma375 Apparently he was throw into a pit of savage dogs when he was younger and came out victorious.
+Fuji Wuji I'd like to see Kurgan and Hugo Stiglitz in a fight.
SpecialJ11 Kurgan would dress up as a Nazi just to piss him off.
That sounds like propaganda to me.
Read the novelization. It goes into great detail about his life.
There isn't a word for how awomse this song is. >:3
3.52 my favourite Kurgan smirk, epic. Clancy you were outstanding.
This music is freaking awesome
Highlander & Blade Runner - My two favourite movies!
This was the best of all the Hylander movies and TV series with Adrian Paul.
Still love this movie
Freddie is the one, the only one
Freddie is the God of Kingdom Come
Give him the prize, just give him the prize!
If they do not have any of the Queen Highlander songs like this in the remake. Then,
"There can be only one" - Highlander 1986
Excellent syncronisation with the song and the video, The film is a Classic for it's time
I remember this track from the "A Kind Of Magic" Album, which is widely regarded as Queen's best album of the 1980's (I agree) very obscure track though. Regarded as a very heavy track for Queen especially, since it borderlines Heavy Metal in some ways. Brian May wrote this song, and stated in an interview that "Boath Mercury and Deacon hated this song"
What do you expect from a pair of "iron hoofs".
@@elliotspencer5300 Since when is John Deacon gay? lol. He just wasn't into really heavy rock. Freddie I heard had the son grow on him over time. No way he didn't like metal/heavy rock as that was almost exclusively what he composed in the beginning of his career.
Simply one of the greatest move's ever made...no it really is!¡!!!!!
Even Clancy Brown a.k.a Kurgen said how can there be a remake of Highlander when Freddie has gone...You can't have one without the other...simply one of the worlds greatest rock band of all time made this film for what it was.
This music is AWESOME
What a film. what a cast. what a music. great. especially if you were a teenager in 1986 and watch it in the cinema.
Queen doing hard rock ftw!
Queen have always been hard rock. Just somewhat less so in the 80's.
This is when an amazing villain, played by a great actor is accompanied by a timeless track by the divine Freddie Mercury. Pure satisfaction.
Props to Fred's vocals. But. No Brian May. No song. He wrote it, & shred on that guitar. As well as using said guitar to simulate bagpipes!
holy mother of god, what a movie!
still rocks in 2015!!!!!
Freddy thought its toooo metal, tooo cocky....I love it. LET ME SQUEEEEZE THEM IN MA HAAHAANDS.
That why its cool its So metal 😎
@@christinasavannah7992 Ya :>
Too metal for a hardened sword wielding warrior who has been fighting and killing for a couple thousand years?
@@mojothemigo Freddy.......thought..
Actually Freddie
This may be the single greatest video of all fucking time !!!!
I love the guitar bit that sounds like bagpipes! Great song.
Been my favourite movie since I was 6 or 7. Great movie.
the best thing on TH-cam. Kurgan and Queen!! 😍
Clancy Brown was only 26 here....then again this was in 1986.
+jimbob jim I love Clancy's playing in that Movie
Try'84.
Looks fabulous !
And already a legend. FML
The best highlander out of all of them
The ultimate badass.
fantastic. one of my fave queen songs and essential for the "get motivated" playlist at the gym alongside i want it all, we are the champions, princes of the universe and hero off the Flash Gordon soundtrack.
Freddie Mercury the powerful and insane thunder voice. Legendary in this song.
This film is great and the songs are from my all time favourite band queen made it a great movie
I got the Soundtrack when I was 10.
14 years later, still awesome
