Story Synopsis:
Highlander: The Final Dimension stars Christopher Lambert as the Highlander character created by Gregory Widen in this third and last “chapter” in the action-adventure series. Billed as “The Steamy Director’s Cut,” this exclusive edition features additional foot-age not shown in theatres. Lambert returns as John Macleod, the “immortal” Scotsman, who must battle yet another ruthless enemy who has journeyed through time to destroy him. This time his ruthless enemy and arch rival is Kane, played by Mario Van Peebles in a performance that could only be described as caricature, but fun for fans of the genre.
LaserDisc Picture:
The Panavision® scope image is perfectly framed at 2.35:1. Colors are vivid with natural fleshtones and deep solid blacks. Images are sharp and detailed with excellent shadow detail, and there is no apparent noise or artifacts for a pleasing visual experience.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is exemplary with aggressive surround envelopment, effective sound effects, and deep bass and powerful dynamics. Dialogue is natural and well integrated.
