Queen did all the songs for Highlander, and not just Freddie, they all wrote songs for it. Yes they were clips from the movie and it is quite action packed, although there is a great love story in it as well that Brian wrote a great song for. It's called Who Wants To Live Forever.
Originally, the director of Highlander only wanted Queen to write the title song; Princes Of The Universe. But when he showed the group a rough cut of the film, they were so into the story and its characters that they wrote five songs for the film. You can look for them on the album/CD A Kind Of Magic. Because of the music, it helped contribute to the film’s legacy as a cult classic.
Highlander is a great movie. Spawned 4 sequels and a TV show. Queen was only involved with the first movie but the music shows up in the other productions as well. The music itself is on the album called A Kind of Magic. One Vision and Who Wants to Live Forever are another pair of strong tracks on the album.
@@breejames6323 I've actually never seen it either. I just know what its about and I've only heard that its not one of Sean's best roles. its your choice so either read the synopsis on wikipedia or watch it and decide for yourself.
@@celticpoet21 it's a very good movie, just don't bother with the sequels. thought there was a tv series as well which was really good. that show focused on Connor McCloud's kinsman Duncan who ended up being immortal as well.
This song is also the theme song for the TV series...Whether you do the official video, or for context the movie video, watch "Who wants to live forever" from the movie. The scenes/music from the movie still brings tears to my wife's eyes makes me misty. This is a great movie for guys, yet is a chick-flick as well!
Highlander is an absolute classic. The soundtrack by Queen is fantastic, the acting is spot on and even after all these years it still holds up really well. I would 100% recommend checking it out. It's set over hundreds of years. It goes from the Highlands of Scotland where you see the old battle scenes, up to present day America (late 80s back then), following these immortal warriors battling to be the only one left alive.
YAAAS! You really should see Bohemian Rhapsody though if you haven't already... you will NOT fall asleep! And yes those are clips from Highalnder... a 16th century Scottish swordsman who is part of a group of immortals who have to battle and behead each other until only one remains.... takes place in NYC 1986, but flashes back to 16th century Scotland. Definitely should watch... just drink some coffee, LOL.
Michelle Varas my brother and I loved that song! I think I was about 12 or 13 and he was 10 and we were just singing that Flash Gordon song all the time. The bass at the beginning was just awesome!!!!! The vocals were also superb as usual and the harmonies out of this world.
HIGHLANDER (only the first one) is one of the all time greats. queen has more songs in there. watch it! there´s no time for sleeping when watching highlander.
Brian May is playing a Washburn guitar in this video because they were filming the video outside and he didn't want to expose his "Red Special" to the elements.
Oh! The other three also wrote songs for Highlander: Who Wants To Live Forever (Brian), One Year Of Love (John), and A Kind of Magic (Roger). Also I have to say I am here for Brian and John's long coats flowing in the wind making them look extra majestic. If you want fun you should check out Invisible Man! Or Headlong. And I always suggest Liar, just because I heart it. And the Millionaire Waltz!
Brian, John and Roger all are wearing raincoats even though you don't see Roger because he's sitting behind his drum kit. The raincoat is very similar to the one sported by Christopher Labert.
Highlander...all you need to know: GREAT concept that spawned a pretty good movie (though drenched in the 80's and directed by a guy who was used to directing music videos, and it showed), a GREAT TV series that ran from 1992-98 (all episodes available on TH-cam)….and 4 crappy movie sequels that are various levels of bad. It's a shame it was never rebooted, since the concept remains fantastic.
Another great upbeat song from Highlander is "Gimme the Prize", it's the villain's theme (a truly frightening badass villain) and it packs a punch. You definitely should react to it, it kind of complements this video.
yes clips from Highlander. Do yourself a favor and check it out. though don't bother with the sequels, Watch the TV series if you want, it was solid. Also you might want to do a reaction to their song Give Me the Prize(Kurgan theme) it's pretty damn kick ass.
Pls react to You’re my best friend music video by queen or it’s a hard life music video by queen or good old fashion lover boy by queen or I want to break free music video by Queen or the show must go on by queen.
The clips are from Highlander, when Freddy & Christopher are fighting, the did that for real with sword/mic stand, this is twinned with who wants to live forever. There's at least another 20 tracks unreleased for Highlander, inc. New York, New York
Who wants to live forever came from this movie and it is incredibly beautiful❤️ There were many movies clips in this video. This song was released and really popular in the USA where as Who wants to live forever was more or less released in the UK. It’s been 1986 and that’s when I graduate from high school 30+ years ago but it’s a beautiful song. It was a very action packed movie and the weed character was in mortal and fell in love with a lady who was mortal. The sad part is that he stayed with her and had a wife as she grew old and eventually died, while he stayed the same. It was so sad!!
I loved the movie when it first came out. An epic quest and love story. I watched it again recently and yes...it's dated. The special effects are not up to today's but the story still stands. Don't know if you've done it but Dragon Attack live is awesome. Really showcase it band member,
The clips you were seeing from the movie Highlander. Where there is a group of Immortal beings that have to fight to the death until there is one left which is where you hear the saying “Their can be only one”
Something both upbeat and little known of theirs is Backchat, specifically the Live at Milton Keynes Bowl version which is definitely the best. Absolutely worth checking out just for Freddie’s performance alone, and it’s got a sick guitar solo in it too!
Tho at 47 I will forever love them (their much better actual music aside) more for their Flash Gordon Soundtrack then this, the Highlander song is damn amazing, and the usual Queen over the top rock opera goodness. Was fun to see you experience this older classic. Count us in for the vote of Doc Rich go watch the original Highlander sometime......
Freddie's it was the theme song for the film and series Roger - kind of magic end of the film Freddie reworked it and roger liked it so Freddie version was used for their album and single Roger dont loose your head John- one year of love Brian - who wants to live forever Gimme the prize
Re The Clips, Yes, Yes they are. The clips were re shot to include the band where required. This 1st movie, will NOT give you ant opportunity to fall asleep.
BRILLIANT MOVIE! Fantastic story, but the special effects are a little dated. If you can get past that, the movie will live with you. It’s one of my favourite movies ever, but there are a couple of moments where you wish someone would take the movie in its original form and redo those effects using today’s tech. Queen’s songs complimented the story and matched the epic themes to create a cult classic. It is not Highlander without Queen. Ignore the sequels, watch only the first movie.
I LOVED Highlander, still do but the visuals are dated now. Nevertheless got a great villain, a true love story, sword fights and Sean Connery. Queen also did a few songs for this movie... check out 'who wants to live forever' and 'it's a kind of magic'.
Lol. Well Highlander won't be at the movie theater. I saw this one when I was a teenager. This is a mystical sword fantasy I don't want to spoil it for you but I do want you to stay awake to enjoy it. Give it your attention for 30 minutes and if you're won over it should be good. Fun sword fighting. Action adventure. Do NOT watch Highlander 2. That was garbage. The first one was enjoyable and it still sits in my collection. Honor is still a part of their lives. Good movie.
LMAO. I work at a movie theater and one day we had a pretty packed showing of Bohemian Rhapsody where a guy fell asleep in the top row and was just snoring up a storm. We had several complaints and had to gently poke him with a broom, much to the amusement to the rest of the theater, until he woke up.
Please check out anything by Queen from the seventies. They had a different sound in that decade and even the album cuts are above the bar. Try the song White Man from the 1976 album called A Day At The Races. Great Stuff! Sure to please.
If by some chance you do watch the movies skip the 2nd one, we in the Highlander fan base do not recognize it even existing. The television series is much better... minus the 6th and final season (it's meh).
Queen did all the songs for Highlander, and not just Freddie, they all wrote songs for it. Yes they were clips from the movie and it is quite action packed, although there is a great love story in it as well that Brian wrote a great song for. It's called Who Wants To Live Forever.

Also from Highlander - 'It's a Kind of Magic'. Such a fun song... and the video is pretty great too!

Highlander is basically about a medieval scotsman who finds out he's immortal and his fight to survive. Sean Connery plays his mentor.
Diana North I’ve actually never seen it is it any good ?
@@breejames6323 I've actually never seen it either. I just know what its about and I've only heard that its not one of Sean's best roles. its your choice so either read the synopsis on wikipedia or watch it and decide for yourself.
It is actually a really good movie!!! This song here became such a big hit that they featured it in every Highlander movie / TV show!!!
@@celticpoet21 it's a very good movie, just don't bother with the sequels. thought there was a tv series as well which was really good. that show focused on Connor McCloud's kinsman Duncan who ended up being immortal as well.
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 The anime Highlander movie is awesome as well.
"I have no rival, no man can be my equal" so true. Freddie was unique.
This song is also the theme song for the TV series...Whether you do the official video, or for context the movie video, watch "Who wants to live forever" from the movie.

It always amuses me that Christopher Lambert (with the long hair) and Brian may look so similar especially both wearing trench coats.
YAAAS! You really should see Bohemian Rhapsody though if you haven't already... you will NOT fall asleep! And yes those are clips from Highalnder... a 16th century Scottish swordsman who is part of a group of immortals who have to battle and behead each other until only one remains.... takes place in NYC 1986, but flashes back to 16th century Scotland.

"THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE"(highlander quote)
Ironically it applies to Freddie Mercury and not just the movie......
Flash song by queen is for a movie Flash Gordon.So I recommend you definitely see this
Michelle Varas my brother and I loved that song! I think I was about 12 or 13 and he was 10 and we were just singing that Flash Gordon song all the time. The bass at the beginning was just awesome!!!!! The vocals were also superb as usual and the harmonies out of this world.

its an action packed movie... for the 80s..... really good though

Duncan MacLeod. There can only be one.⚡⚡
Rich love of my life one of the greatest songs of all time
Dude, Highlander was surely worth checking out and it's soundtrack's amazing :-)
The clips you were seeing from the movie Highlander. Where there is a group of Immortal beings that have to fight to the death until there is one left which is where you hear the saying “Their can be only one”
MUCH WATCH Highlander. Its a good movie and queen did the soundtrack for this movie. Need to see the movie.
React to "Gimme The Prize", another Queen song written for the film highlander👍

Certainly are one of the most underrated 80s film Highlander
You need to react to Love Of My Life (Live at Wembley 1986), Who Wants To Live Forever (Live at Wembley)
Freddie's it was the theme song for the film and series
Roger - kind of magic end of the film
Freddie reworked it and roger liked it so Freddie version was used for their album and single
Roger dont loose your head
John- one year of love
Brian - who wants to live forever
Gimme the prize

truth and the best advice...
Watch it! It's a fun movie, you won't fall asleep!

Very much agree, and Kurgan was a great villain. Wonderful role model for a child, he always seemed so happy.
The lightening your seeing is a because someone lost there head and the winner is getting that person's knowledge and strength
Lol. Well Highlander won't be at the movie theater.
I saw this one when I was a teenager. This is a mystical sword fantasy
I don't want to spoil it for you but I do want you to stay awake to enjoy it.

Do NOT watch Highlander 2. That was garbage. The first one was enjoyable and it still sits in my collection.
Honor is still a part of their lives. Good movie.
Queen - Ride the wild wind🤩🤩
The gentleman fighting Freddie... If you haven't seen the movie, you probably wouldn't know... But he's the lead. 😉
Brian May is probably in the top 5 guitarists in the world
I thoroughly enjoy your reactions
Highlander is a badass movie. One of my favourites!
LMAO. I work at a movie theater and one day we had a pretty packed showing of Bohemian Rhapsody where a guy fell asleep in the top row and was just snoring up a storm. We had several complaints and had to gently poke him with a broom, much to the amusement to the rest of the theater, until he woke up.
😂😂 that would have been me
you definitely got to watch highlander. great job.freddie could lift any crowd in a contert
This video is heavy on the "adoo" 😂😂😂
They were asked to write a single song for highlander and they made 4 (I think) apparently they were really inspired by the story
its also the opening to the series Highlander
Please check out anything by Queen from the seventies. They had a different sound in that decade and even the album cuts are above the bar. Try the song White Man from the 1976 album called A Day At The Races. Great Stuff! Sure to please.
The movie Highlander was awesome and so was the tv series.
Check out the Highlander tv series, it’s awesome and it’s on Hulu
They also made the score for the Flash Gordon movie
