I didn't even know about this until I found it here on TH-cam. I'm a huge Highlander fan---I have a box set of the entire series. Going to have to do a rewatch soon. Great stuff!!! This captures that old time Highlander series feel. Impressive work!
Don't go far if you looking for something to watch,the movie is great and worth watching. Trust me you won't regret watching it. Much love from Saudi Arabia ❤❤❤❤❤
Fan films today are miles ahead of what I first made back at the dawn of time. I had already seen some excellent Star Trek fan films and thought that such productions need an alternative name as so much more than a fan film. This is another such example. Obviously made with such care by all involved. If I had read that this was a pilot for another spin off series, that had unfortunately not been picked up by whatever studio or network, I would have easily believed it. The special effects of the Quickening was great! Not overdone, and very similar to the original. All of the actors were of a similar standard, the cinematography was good throughout, and the music was apt even though varied. I did catch the almost complete Queen lyric quoted at the picnic, a nice touch.
I normally avoid "fan films" but this was pretty doggone good. Gave me old school Highlander: The Series vibes and I dig it! I've been wanting to make a "Dark Tower: The Gunslinger" film for a long time now and even though I know I can't beat the acting, cinematography, CGI, etc of the professional "Dark Tower" film, I still want to try. Anyway, this inspired me to move forward on giving it a go so thanks! ETA: Sorry for the "fan film" thing because this was way more than that. I just don't know a better term for it.
Stumbled upon this little gem while searching for old Methos videos, and I have to say, this fanfilm is better than both Endgame and the Source! Fantastic job by everyone involved!
Been a fan of the Highlander universe since the original movie came out and this was really enjoyable. Great job and interesting to see a movie put together from a Watchers perspective.
What a Great movie. Someone with some sense in Hollywood should chuck serious money at this and remake it frame by frame, word for word. Better than the tripe they are currently kicking out.
Its been up for a while already, but we did do a little comedic follow-up a few years ago, for the last Gathering con. th-cam.com/video/oq5-ER9iqaY/w-d-xo.html
Fan made, for sure. Technically, it is canon - to a timeline they will not be making any more of. The story was fully approved by Davis/Panzer productions before filming began, and they promoted it as a part of the franchise when we were selling it on physical media (other fan productions were denied this, due to continuity issues).
The bad guy is very very good. Entertaining, and likable while still being very bad. The quickenings are very good. Especially the second one. I love that they showed the heads coming off!! At least ten minutes could be cut out to quicken the pace. All those slow transitions need to go. I really enjoyed it. It was done with respect to all the lore. Thanks for making it.
Wow! I went into this expecting an “ok” fan flick.. what a nice surprise! Compelling story and good acting.. most of the cgi was good, all in all, a great experience! Thanks for making this.. looking forward to any future endeavors..
Missed this show for many years now nice to see it again, These and the star wars - star trek- stargate & Dr.Who make me think or at least entertain the idea that these could have some facts yet oh well - One can dream i guess
Congratulations, it is an amazing movie, with a lot of attention to the details, it has everything a Highlander fan could ask for! (It also amazed me because it was a collaboration with D/P productions) Really, thank you very much!
The producers should be more careful..in 1938 cars didnt have those kind of tires...not even the orange one, the girl with that eyeliner...ridiculus..at least try to do some reasurche about the way of living and cars ,costume,, etc. In 1938😮
Fun fact: if a person is a proto-Immortal (an Immortal who hasn't been activated by their first death yet and still ages normally) he should still have experienced a buzzing sensation around other Immortals, and they should have sensed him as well. In most of these cases the proto-Immortal is killed off by their mature counterpart without ever knowing why.
While true, it is also established that the proto Immies usually do not recognize the feeling (and some full Immortals do not, either). And of the 2 Immortals this proto was around, one addressed it directly, and the other indirectly, through dialog. This was all vetted by Davis/ Panzer before filming.
I've watched this Several times already, and keep going back to watch it, i just love the story. Wish i could play these immortals in the Highlander CCG
Nice plot lined but the acting needs work seemed forced not natural at all. Settings was good for your budget. The actor who played camble had some nice sword moves. Good music during a few fight scenes.
@@storymarkor just regular surgery. Same effect. Which is why Immortals never took up plastic surgery to change their appearances in the Twentieth Century when they periodically changed identities - it wouldn't work.
It's been a long time since I watched the highlander show. Wasn't there a group called the watchers on the show? I vaguely remember an older man watching Duncan and was sorta his friend
The Watchers are vaguely like the Talamasca from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles - a secret society that monitors immortals from a safe distance and documents their history but otherwise doesn't attract their attention or interact with them. The Highlander television series introduced a renegade branch of the organisation that viewed Immortals as a potential threat to humanity and quietly assassinated them. Later movies had the Watchers offering sanctuary to Immortals who wished to avoid the Game, keeping them in a drug-induced coma on holy ground in a secret location.
The second Highlander movie aired the theory that they're alien criminals sentenced to play the Game throughout human history as punishment for rebelling against their planet's government, but this theory is despised by the series fan base. The explanation accepted in the first movie is that the Immortals are simply a natural phenomenon and that they developed an oral folklore around their ritual combats over time as mentors trained new members and encouraged them to participate. Many Immortals actually just get on with their lives and defend themselves when attacked by full-time headhunters like the Kurgan. The Watchers and most Immortals generally class headhunters as "evil" due to their violent natures, and a potential threat to humanity if they obtain the Prize.
@@storymark Sorry man, that may be true but it's wasn't enough to take me out of the story. Aside from that, the screenplay commits rookie mistake after another. Starts with V.O. when the audience doesn't even know who to care about. Then some woman unrealistically gets shot in the head. We've seen her 30 seconds. Are we supposed to care? I appreciate how much work it takes to complete an Indy. That alone is something to feel accomplished. You're ahead of me in that respect. Keep it up and you'll get better but not if you don't learn from your mistakes. It all starts with the screenplay
@@tompearce5418 All movies are inaccurate. A director has to walk a tightrope between reality and artistry but that's where verisimilitude comes into play
I saw and loved the original highlander movies, I love this one as well😊
I saw this about 2 years ago. Nice to see it pop up in my feed again.
I thought this was fantastic. Thanks for giving me a much needed Highlander fix
I've been watching Highlander since the beginning I am a fan for ever this was awesome
Good story. Its worth the watch, especially if you are a Highlander fan. I agree with others here, a network should pick this up.
I didn't even know about this until I found it here on TH-cam. I'm a huge Highlander fan---I have a box set of the entire series. Going to have to do a rewatch soon. Great stuff!!! This captures that old time Highlander series feel. Impressive work!

Damn this was SO good! You deserve WAY more subs, but hey, at least you got a new 1 now :)
I kinda had a feeling he was an immortal. Such a great movie!!! 👍👍 Need a part 2
Been a fan of the Highlander universe since the original movie came out and this was really enjoyable. Great job and interesting to see a movie put together from a Watchers perspective.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I watched it to the end.... Thumbs up for Jeremy Orr.
Solid film! Cool story! Nice touch with the map at the end, too.👍👍👍

Someone in Hollywood with sense? Your funny.
The films called Highlander,Sean Connery was in it 80s movie

Awesome movie! I'm a huge fan of highlander!
That was good. I'm impressed, been a Highlander fan for decades. Hope you make more.

It's so REFESHING to have another GOOD Highlander movie again! And the main villian was Fantastic.
Fan made and not cannon. Lots of people won’t like the idea but it better than most of what been shown.

@@storymark 👍🏽👌🏽💪🏽🙌🏾 respect 🫡 should make like a mini series.
Absolutely hope this is the start of a new series!! Was very good!
This is the best Highlander since I watched the TV show, years ago. A truly fantastic film. 😍
This was pretty cool and as a Highlander fan I enjoyed it.
The bad guy is very very good. Entertaining, and likable while still being very bad.
The quickenings are very good. Especially the second one.

Good movie, the ending caught me off guard. The bad, the cars used for the 1938 era looked exactly like 1980-1990's hot rods, especially the rims.
I thought this was very nice, I enjoyed the story line, especially the ending. Pulled me into the universe of Highlander for sure.

Came arias this by chance yes did the lore justice I enjoyed this thank you 🙏!!!
Better than the Source! Love the Highlander Universe. Hope this gets some love and attention.
If you share with friends and ask them to share it with friends it Will
That is a weird compliment. I have never seen anything that was not better than the source.
@@danielalaatz57 Live action Avatar the Last Air Bender. Worse acting and worse special effects and worse fight scenes. Just, so bad.

INCREDIBLE MOVIE! SO WELL DONE! The story, the sword-play, the quickenings, the music was all first-rate. 🥰
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
interesting spin off.
they should do a watcher series from the beginning
Nice work. I'm impressed.
Bad acting with even worse dialog.. Loved it
fantastic loved it very well done i hope to see more
I’m only on act 2 but it’s already better than a couple official Highlander films
That wasn't a Movie to begin with but a exclusive series for the Blu-ray Release for the Highlander series.
When you first watch this movie you will said its boring but when become to the end you will understand.
The phone ring tone at 105:29 was legit.
These Watchers aren't carrying the identifying hand tattoo first displayed in Highlander: The Series. Apart from that this is a great indie.
I enjoyed this movie not as much is the first Highlander but it was worth watching
I've watched this Several times already, and keep going back to watch it, i just love the story. Wish i could play these immortals in the Highlander CCG
That would be so awesome! I haven't played the game since 1st edition, but would love to see the Watcher characters as playable Immortals!
@@storymark I'd love to play Castel or Campbell in the CCG - would be alot of fun, Even Donnigan with his Grayson-Esque Goons.
Nicely done!
Nice very Nice job
I love Highlander as much as the next guy but 8 mim in and I can't torture myself enough to go on with this.
Continue watching it, good story
What is the direction do you think of chad stahelski will go with, On his vision?
Nice plot lined but the acting needs work seemed forced not natural at all. Settings was good for your budget. The actor who played camble had some nice sword moves. Good music during a few fight scenes.
All I can say is AWESOME
This was well done. I'd love to see more. The only thing I'm confused on or missed is how did he get rid of the tattoo.
My thinking was that, if the site of the tattoo was cut away, the flesh would grow back, but the ink would not.

Not bad man...not bad ...very honorable to the franchise.loved the music😎😂😋
Well done
I liked it better the first time I watched it, which was a year ago
Is this fan based?
Wonderful surprise 😊
Uh...that claymore can't b drawn unless he 1st takes it and the 1/2 scabbard off first. I would use a khopis or a falcata.

Did guys get zero ads during this movie also?

This was great !!!!!!!!!!!
Good movie and I really LIked it.
Interesting take on the Watchers. If only you had a big Hollywood budget behind this. So much better than all of the shit sequels out there
Great job!
Great but my question is how did the immortals get there powers.out of all the highlander movies they never explained where it came from.

Nice 👍🏻

Verisimilitude. I couldn't believe the story because I saw too many historical inaccuracies in the first 7 minutes to stay with the story. Sorry
Fair enough. But historical inaccuracies have always been a part of Highlander, from literally the very first scene.
