UK Highlander BD region locked?
 
I saw this post on Blu-Ray.com: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=2832 and it sounds like a good set. In the comments, someone linked to http://www.dvdrama.com/rw_fiche-11350-.php which notes that it's region-free, but I wanted some extra corroboration before I bought it.

That'd be sweet if true. Even better if the special features are not in PAL (for us PS3 folk).

This is one of my ultimate guilty pleasures that I will get in high def! If it's an import, so be it.

There's nothing guilty about the original Highlander. Now Highlander II, on the other hand, is what I call a guilty pleasure. Highlander III and Highlander Endgame are less guilty. Highlander: The Source is cinematic rape.

Don't you mean they're more guilty, or less of a pleasure?

Yeah, you're right. I missworded my intent.

Although Endgame wasn't too bad just really huge missed opportunity. The worst offenders being no Donnie Yen/Adrian Paul rematch and Connor was just wrong. In the Italy flashback and part of the Ireland flashback he seemed like the Connor MacLeod from the first movie. But his whole suicidal schtick just didn't jive with me. And
Spoiler:
why was he so badass fighting Duncan but fought like such a punk against Kell? And why didn't he at least try for a rematch before he decided to have Duncan kill him?


And Highlander III has Deborah Kara Unger :drool: so it's at least watchable. Not good but watchable.

But those two are masterpieced compared to The Source.

Blu-Ray.com just reviewed this disc and confirmed that the movie and the extras are all region-free, and had good things to say about the A/V quality as well. :rock2:

Gonna pick this one up, I love Highlander it's cheesy-terrific!

Ok, where do we order :)

So, if we order this from Amazon UK, it should come out to about $35 US, right?

Yeah, where's the best/cheapest place to order this?

I'll probably just stick with my Amazon UK order. I didn't know they shipped to the US.

Has anyone actually received this? Saw it was down to about 12 pounds (money) and was wondering on any actual user reviews.

It's region-free. I just watched it the other night. You know, i remember the movie being so good when I was a kid, but watching it again, well.... ouch. It's one of those films that you remember as being brilliant 25 years ago, but when you see it again you think "I loved THIS??" The pic quality is about as good as it can get, given the source material. It looks pretty decent.
