FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY SET PROMISES EXTRA EXTRAS…

There have been a variety of home releases of the original Highlander film over the years – different formats, different qualities, different content and most fans will have at least one (or more) of them.

But it’s probably no big surprise that for the fortieth anniversary, we were in for one of the most expansive releases yet, with StudioCanal releasing not just the film itself (on a 4K UHD disc) but a vast array of extras.

As well as the main feature, the 40th Anniversary limited run Collector’s Edition includes:
