- We find out whether AI is ready to bring the lost scenes from the first Highlander movie back to life with picture to video... the results were... interesting.

That was an interesting exercise, but honestly not what I was expecting. I thought since we had so many pictures from the YDK vs Kurgan scene that ALMOST make a full video when put together anyway that you'd use AI to generate the missing in-between bits and then render a full video. I think that's the sort of thing AI would be good for.
Even as an AI sceptic I thoroughly enjoyd this video! Well done, Grant! I enjoyed seeing the process; how you managed to tease out all the successes out of all those hilarious failures. I know the deleted scenes still pictures so well that it was a genuined thrill to see them move and come to life, even if I know that it's not real. I don't think AI will ever be able to replace what was lost, but thanks to your hard work we now have a fascinating glimpse at what they might have looked like. I can't even comprehend what will be possible with the technology this time next year.
That's a really interesting experiment and definitely makes me feel like we're getting very close to AI having the ability to recreate these scenes effectively. There are so many stills from the Yung Dol Kim scene, that I feel like it could be rebuilt quite successfully. Most of the actors are still with us (RIP John Polito), so it's possible they could be persuaded to rerecord the dialogue (though it would likely have to be tweaked to filter out some of the changes that come with age). As an actor/writer/stunt performer, I absolutely have my reservations about AI, but I'm also no naive enough to think it's not here to stay and will only get better and easier to use.
Also, as I mentioned in a previous comment on another video, I still maintain the Orange scene cannot be part of the Boston Common sequence. The duel happened in 1783 and in the Orange scene, Connor is dressed in late Victorian attire, so the costuming is 100 years apart. It has to be something else entirely.
But very cool video and lots to think about. I have always wanted to see the Yung Dol Kim scene, and something like this may the only way to do it.
Now...I just need AI to get to the point where I can replace Mads Mikkelsen with Johnny Depp in "Secrets or Dumbledore" 😂
Thanks for remembering Highlander the series, Talk more than 6 seasons
This is AWESOME! Like all forms of art.....keep at it! 🎨
It be great to see the scenes that was lost and if it’s done by AI with the script words by audio Ai and we got to see the scenes as what it was meant to be when they filmed it originally than I love to watch it
wow. impressive work. now that i have context with your A.I assisted re-creations, i can see why these scenes were cut..but.. i wish those scenes weren't lost. from what i read they were lost in a fire.
Keep good work.
It’s a great way to spark imagination but will never be original.
Excellent work, Grant. Even if the AI is a little ‘iffy’ it still gives us a nice insight into what these scenes would’ve looked like. Maybe one day we will see these scenes included in a future anniversary/special edition of Highlander. Who knows. I’d like to think that someone, somewhere still has these lost scenes. A full restoration of Highlander including the lost scenes would be a dream come true.
Can you do this with Highlander Endgame? Like make what could of been with Connor and Duncan facing off against Jacob Kell. Also maybe make a scene with Connor and Duncan in the Highlands.
I saw a print of Highlander at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood many years ago with the director present, and at the end the audience asked: "What ending was that?!". The ending included MacLeod speaking with Brenda and there was no Sean Connery voice over. The director had no idea what the audience was talking about! He guessed it was some random cut and print of the movie that was never shown before. There was nothing else different about the movie. Maybe somebody else has seen this besides me..?
Seriously? You saw THAT print? I’ve heard all about it. Shown once in 2011 I believe? Didn’t it include all of the extra scenes that are on numerous blu ray editions of Highlander (minus the audio)? How did you manage to see that print in the first place?
I just showed for a screening of highlander and we got that print. I saw highlander a couple times in theaters in LA, and that time we lucked out.
@@dpearlstein Amazing. Can you remember much about the showing at the Egyptian Theatre? I’d love to know what differences they are in that print to the version we all know.
@@Highlander1518 It's been so many years it's tough to remember, but I want to say the opening was slightly different. Cutting between the wrestling match, the battle, and that old guy yelling in MacLeod's ear. Maybe some different dialogue and shots there. And if I remember correctly, the director may have said this cut was a pre-screening print, like to get reactions from the audience and make edits based on those comments. But the ending was radically different and, while I am no movie critic, it did not have the same impact as the Connery narration. Oh! I think there was a different shot of the Harrier flying by at the end. But again, it's been many years.
One day I’ll be able to watch Superman V with Christopher Reeve, Bullet 2, Tim Burton’s Batman 3, and a Kurgan movie.☺
Or maybe how to set the cat amongst the pigeons!! the problem is we could end up going down the George Lucas special editions route and adding scenes or deleting scenes that won't please everyone.
That too as well.
Could be possible for the 50th anniversary, by the way Grant where did you get the t-shirt from?
Not sure if it's up to doing it convincingly yet
Is that how you actually speak? Appears extremely forced and put on.
Appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
