Mediocre
I'm a fan of the highlander series since my childhood.
Howerver i disaprove with the ethnic view in this movie.
What i mean is... The only black person of (importance in this film is a perverted, evil sadist, played by Mario Van Peebles).
Another American minority group represented in this film is the latin american gang that tries to rob the white "hero" (christopher lambert) On top of this there is a asian woman that acts as a prostitute. This reminds me of the rasistic history america have. And rises the question if that is a expression of white supremacy?

Unusual twist to story in Bad Day at Building A
Duncan drives Tessa and Richie to the police dept. so she can pay up a stack of speeding tickets. (Tsk!Tsk!) He awakens from dozing and hears shots fired in the building. Tearing off to the rescue, he is captured at the elevator by the dangerous felon and his cohorts. As a hostage,he volunteers to be 'killed'. Now follows a cat and mouse hunt and seek as he dispenses each bad guy to win the war. The very tender side of Duncan is shown when he has to take on the responsibility of protecting and caring for a little girl whose father works in the building. [Literary license--who would take a little girl to his work and put her in a janitor closet as big as two rooms together and leave her there all day alone?] The story puts the SWAP team of the police in a bad light of conflict with the one in communication with the killer. The team itself is efficient.

I like the hero showing gentleness toward children and others involved as hostages. The psychology of the killer versus McLeod is excellent.

Four hundred years of adventures with the Highlander
If you are a fan of the martial arts,if you can enjoy the excitment of sword fighting,and the romance and adventures of four hundred years in the life of the Highlander, you will love the series staring Adrian Paul, a feast for the eyes as well as the imagination!

I recommend the series to everyone of all ages.

This was the most thrilling SF movie till Alien 10ys later!
I was watching the Space 1999 Tv series in late 70's as my absolute favourite movie. It took 10 years for the filmmakers to make The Alien that finally beaten Space 1999, in my opinion anyway. I would love to have it in my video collection.

All the episodes will be one hell of a collection to have.
Since I was a young child I watched Space 1999 every week until they cancelled the show. A couple of years ago they show up on Sci-fi channel and I started recording the shows then they cancelled showing the episodes. I look forward to the episodes being available to the public on VHS Tapes or DVD. One hell of a show!!!

Hope they re-release soon
I just started collecting videos of my favorite childhood shows. I will keep on checking and hope the re-release it soon. This was one of my favorite shows and I would love to watch it again.

Outstanding series - Check Amazon Auctions
Space 1999 was an outstanding series. Since this release is no longer available check the Amazon Auctions and search Space 1999 for items.

Enjoyable action. Good hero story line.
McLeod returns from China only to have Richie tell him that Tessa is overdue. Driving to where she was last seen, a sheriff greets him with the news that three dangerous wanted men are in the area. Not waiting for the sheriff's men, he takes off to track Tessa's captors. Reading signs, he has a flashback of how he learned the ways of the forest and tracking silently. Fighting tiredness, hunger, the forest and time while running through the forest, he is captured and is killed. His sword is taken,too.

Painfully he resumes his quest. The youngest mountain man is captured and restrained. Caleb, the leader [who turns out to be an immortal] kills the second one thinking that he is trying make time with Tessa. Locked into battle with Caleb, Duncan must fight against his own sword and receives a serious wound from it. Nevertheless, he fights on to take Caleb's head. The lovers are reunited and the sheriff shows up with the captive young mountain man in tow.

The interesting thing that makes me chuckle is that while Duncan was running through the forest, he ended up barefoot, shirtless, and only his slacks and cloth strips around his forearms. He carried no satchel. Nevertheless, not having left the area yet, he appears in full typical Duncan wardrobe including footware. How did he get it?

These little glitches don't bother me. I enjoy that Duncan McLeod is presented as a real hero and not the anti-hero who breaks the laws with impunity such as we have frequently. He drinks coffee and juice in the early days and doesn't present liquor as a panacea for all woes. He doesn't smoke. He has to take care of himeself because he needs to have a clear head and a well toned body. Adrian Paul must have worked very hard on the sword scenes because he acts like it is a natural part of him. This makes the story more realistic. ... Read more

Highlander -Season 1(Sea Witch/Revenge is Sweet)
I heartily recommend this video as either a entry into the special magic of Highlander or a must see for Highlander collectors. "The Sea Witch will give you my favorite part of Highlander, the historically accurate flashbacks. Adrian Paul has a gift for languages, and it shows. I like the vibe between him and the captain of the Sea Witch, it is delightfully sinister. "Revenge is Sweet" the second episode of this tape, hooked me and shaped me into a rabid Highlander fan many years ago. I was fascinated by Adrian Paul's agility and swordsmanship. It was a multi-layered performance, with a dazzling appearance by Vanity. ... Read more

A nice tape
As the wandering Moon draws near to an Earth-like planet, Commander Koenig (played by Martin Landau) must decide if this is a planet that the home-sick crew can colonize. However, when an Eagle sent on a scouting mission returns to base bearing the strange addition of Helena Russell's (Barbara Bain) long-lost husband (Richard Johnson), the Commander realizes that a deep mystery is involved with this new world. [Color, originally aired in 1975 (season 1), with a running time of 60 minutes.]

As a childhood fan of the Space 1999 (both seasons), I was overjoyed to have this tape fall into my lap. J2 Communications produced the tape I have in 1990. There are no little "extras" on the tape, but it does have the episode in a reasonable quality. I am very glad to have this tape, and highly recommend that you get it! ... Read more

HOME COMING
I HAVE WATCDED HIGHLANDER SERIES FROM THE BEING , I HAVE TRIED TO BUY IT , THE ONE THAT I WANT IS THE HOME COMING BUT FOR SOME REASON NO ONE HAS HEARD OF IT OR CAN'T GET WITH OUT BUYING THE WHOLE SERIES

The Road Not Taken & Innocent Man are quite different .
The first story is more like a gangster story with the twist of the old immortal friend, Kiem Sun, thinking he is going to save mankind by a special herbal formula that will make an invincible army. Unfortunately it kills. Duncan gets involved when he recognizes the pattern of death that happened to Richie's friend. Sun can not grasp what Duncan is trying to teach him. Sun's apprentice finds a way to use the herbal potion for his own need for power and wealth. This type of story is not one that I personally enjoy but others will. The psychology is good. Is Sun "good" or not?

The second story begins during the Civil War with Mac being hanged. He is rescued by another immortal. At present time, Mac and Tessa are on their way to visit his friend who lives in an isolated cabin, when Mac suddenly drops down to his knees. He knows that Desiree is now dead. This action was never established prior to this and was never utilized again. It is like in "StarWars" when there is a "rift in the force." A homeless shell-shocked Vietnam vet is blamed for the killing. Red-neck bigotry gets a good run through here as well as the "justice" of a small town suspicious of strangers. Duncan solves all, of course, and teaches the town bullies a thing or two. Excellent story. ... Read more

Unforgettable Classic
Saw this film some 8 years ago, still able to recite the moneylender scene, but growing weaker as time goes by. With a "hint" of Python to it, this appeals to all Python lovers. One of the all time classic comedies, need to brush up on the memorising of the script, and sing a long with the rowing song. An absolute must.

Any copies out there.

One of the better spoofs and grossly underated
I have been looking for this Film to be shown on TV for some many years. I remember it as one of the best of the genre. Watch for the Highwaymen's 'Sundial' Sketch. Well worth a look.SQ ... Read more

Highlander the Series Season 1
Highlander the Series, Season 1 is not as flashy as later seasons, but the story line is good, the shows are well done, enjoyable and give you a solid base for Highlander lore.
It explains, much of the story of his love of Tess, how Richie came to be his student and immortal, as well as gives you a good bit of his own history.
The Quickenings are not as brillant as they are in later years, but if you are a Highlander fan it is definetly worth the effort to go ahead and buy the series

Hardcore Highlander Fan
I own all of the Highlander movies, as well as all of the Highlander: The Series 1-6. I don't think there was ever a better series on T.V. Not only is Adrian Paul fantastic to look at, the theme and messages were very well thought out. Since it appealed to a young(er) audience (& yes there was violence) but it taught overcoming adversity, fighting for what you believe in, and that doing the right thing is important (especially when you live forever) it spans all emotions: humor,love,sadness,tragedy and more, all of the things that make up LIFE. I highly recommend all of the series, start with the first and keep going til the end, it is better than any series on T.V. today.

Quite good
People don't believe me when I say that the TV serious had many episodes that are better than the films, but it's true. This series was very creative, and thrived in relative obscurity.

I tend to divide the Highlander fans up into two groups:

1) The true, hard core fans. They love the first Highlander film, and admit that the sequels are flawed, but none the less, like them too. They find Christopher Lambert's character more dangerous, practical, than Adrien Paul's.

2) Fans who think Highlander is an interesting idea, and are open to the concept however presented, as long as it was well written. (I fall into this category myself.) They the first film fascinating. Though if you know the concept, it seems to drag. The sequels all [are bad]. 2 is terrible, 3 is bad, and 4 a tad better, but too much like 1 and 3. But...

When they watch the TV series, they find the concept thrives. While the story repeats itself, the characters in the TV series are varied, and strong. And Adrian Paul, Jim Byrnes and the rest of the cast brought a certain charm to the concept. And the writing is quite excellent for television.

This set is for Season 1, when the show was just getting into it's routes. There are some bumps in the road, and the bad guys often not complex enough. But it's a very good start to the series.

My opinon, Seasons 2 & 3 were strongest, with many, many winners, and many interweaving plot lines. Season 4 is quite good. With 5 getting a little tired and often strange. And 6 the tank running empty, with a somewhat confusing (which is actually good) finale.

Not as good as the first movie, but still worthwhile.
For those of us whose ears are still ringing with that phrase from the first Highlander movie "there can be only one," we often wonder why there are so many sequels, not to mention this TV spin-off. The answer is simple: money.
Part of the intrigue of the first movie was that all-encompassing, somewhat mysterious storyline, and we assumed that Connor McLeod was the only surviving immortal. Apparently, he didn't know there were still so many others lurking around! Still, though, if you can get past that obvious (gaping) hole in the story, the sequels (not counting the 2nd one, which was pure crap) and the series are cool additions that expand on the universe of the immortals.
This series follows the life of Duncan McLeod, clansman of Connor. They have known each other for centuries, and Duncan was trained by his kinsman. The first episode features a guest spot by Christopher Lambert, and elaborates a lot on the story. Most of the rest of the episodes follow Duncan's exploits and flashbacks that lead him to many adventures.
Though this series is definitely not for everyone, the die-hard Highlander fans who remained unfulfilled by the story in the first movie will be greatly gratified by these additions. ... Read more

A nice tape
The crew of Moonbase Alpha receives a surprise when an alien spaceship enters orbit around the Moon, only to crash-land on its surface. When the alien crew is revived from their suspended animation, they find that they were bound for Earth when their computer recognized the now renegade Moon. The aliens are determined to continue on to Earth, and Commander Koenig (played by Martin Landau) realizes that the death of an alien crewmember means that one of the Alpha crew can accompany the aliens (led by Captain Zantor, played by Christopher Lee). But, one crewman, Commissioner Simmond (Roy Dotrice), decides that he *must* be that one who returns to Earth, and he will net nothing stand in his way.

Based on the series "The Master"
This was just a couple of the last episodes of the series. It was a very good series but it never lasted long on Television. However, if you really like Martial Arts action then this is one of those series you don't want to miss, if you can still find it on VHS.

An interesting video
I bought this video because I love the movie star Demi Moore and was very interested see the young Demi working in this vídeo. I like it very much.

Story Of a Master Ninja Looking for his daughter.
This movie is about a white older guy that has been trained in the secret arts of the ninja. He came to america after thirty years in Japan to find the daughter he never knew he had. He teams up with a young boy who tries to do right and always ends up in trouble everywhere he travels. This story is about the young boy meeting up with Demi Moore in a town where the sheriff is bad and is trying to make Demi and her father sell their land so the sheriff and some other rich guys can build a shopping mall. Well the boy and his friend the "master ninja" end up getting envolved and all kinds of caos happens including the master using his ninja skills to stop the criminals from hurting the young Demi Moore. This is a very exciting movie!! Lots of fun and has some comedy in it with the ninja techniques. I rented it to see Sho Kosugi, but he is only in it as a bad guy who is stalking the master ninja and trying to kill him for leaving Japan. If your watching this to see Sho Kosugi the ninja he is not in it very much at all. But if you like ninja movie check it out it is really good, and the master takes on a new student the trouble maker boy!!! ... Read more

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries belong on DVD!
Here is another intelligent show that brings back a ton of fond memories! This episode, "Wipe Out", and ALL the other episodes of the "Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries" starring Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson, and Pamela Sue Martin/Janet Johnson, belong on DVD! Shaun and Parker as Joe and Frank Hardy brought humor and warmth to their brotherly roles; and the intrepid Nancy Drew was fiercely independent and a perfect role model for young women. Of course this version of the "Hardy Boys" was enhanced by Shaun's singing - and "Wipe Out" featured him singing not his own tunes but the music of "The Beach Boys". This series also featured a memorable ensemble of guest stars including the late Rick Nelson ("The Flickering Torch Mystery" with great concert footage), Lorne Green, Patrick MacNee, Melanie Griffith, Paul Williams, Ray Milland, Valerie Bertinelli, Maren Jensen, Anne Lockhart, and a host of others. And let's not forget Edmund Gilbert who, in my mind, will always be "Fenton Hardy". Today's young tv viewers (and the rest of us, too!) need to get re-acquainted with Nancy, Frank, and Joe! Let's see this complete series on DVD SOON!

This Show Should Have Complete Season DVD Boxsets!
The Hardy Boys was one of my favorite TV shows in the 70's and as a young girl ages 12 to 14 I had a big crush on Shaun Cassidy, I had his record albums, posters a T-shirt, etc. The Hardy Boys TV show is based on the young readers Mystery books by Franklin W. Dixon and stars Shaun Cassidy and Parker Stevenson as brothers Joe and Frank Hardy who solve mysteries and crimes and was a very entertaining show. I would like to see this episode and all of the rest on DVD in complete season DVD boxsets!

Hardy Boys in WIPE OUT
I was one of those girls who just LOVED Shaun Cassidy, I even had a Hardy Boys t-shirt in grade 3. Now after years of waiting to see these shows again, I was suprised that besides having cute guys, the show did have a good story line. And yes Shaun does sing, although I thought he sounded better when I was 7. Anyway this is a good one, It will bring back some of those childhood warm fuzzy feelings.

Dreamboat Shaun Cassidy shines in beach caper!
This is one of the coolest Hardy Boys episodes because Shaun SINGS! He performs "Surfin' U.S.A." on the beach for Frank & their Hawaii pals on location. A must-have for any Shaun Cassidy fan. No love scenes, though - darn! ... Read more

Excellent
With Moonbase Alpha about to pass close to a planet, Piri, an Eagle (small, short-range spaceship) is sent to investigate, but its strange disappearance marks the beginning of a series of mysteries, including a series of strange results from the Moonbase computer. When Commander Koenig (played by Martin Landau) meets a beautiful woman (Catherine Schell, who later played Maya!) who claims to be the servant of the Guardian of Piri, she informs him that the purpose of the Guardian is to make people "perfect." When the Guardian takes control of the Alphans, it is up to Commander Koenig to save his people from becoming mindless, and ambitionless, inhabitants of a sort of land of the lotus-eaters. [Color, originally aired in 1975 (season 1), with a running time of 60 minutes.]

I am very glad to have this tape, and highly recommend that you get it! ... Read more

Interesting story lines:Eye of the Beholder & Avenging Angel
The first story line shows the conflict from the different pathways taken by an old close friend,Piton,an immortal, and Duncan MacLeod. Richie also is involved in this conflict. He is not yet an immortal and gets in over his head. Personally, I like the psychology of it. There are good fight scenes plus a novel way for Richie to get away from Piton. In the end, Duncan must kill his old friend. He has only sorrow and no joy when this is accomplished. The second story is along the idea that if a moderately insane man becomes immortal after death, what does the immortality do to him and his sanity. Clever story development. He becomes the granddaddy of all religious fanatics. Whereas before immortality, he was just a nuisance, now he is dangerous because he begins to kill "sinners." Tessa meets an old friend of her university days and gets a rude awakening that causes her grief. Duncan is unable to help the new immortal and eventually faces him in combat after Tessa was threatened. ... Read more

If you missed the first episode with Xavier St. Cloud, this is the episode you'll want to see. At the end MacLeod only takes St Cloud's hand and tell's Tessa, he'll remember. (St Cloud is killed in second episode of Unholy Alliance). The second episode is not quite as good, but "For Tomorror We Die" makes up for the second episode.
