Comentario: La mejor película de Highlander!!! Jej, eso no es gran mérito porque prácticamente no tiene competencia. La animación tiene el sello de Kawajiri y la historia es bastante sólida. Héroe y Antihéroe tienen motivaciones un poco más contundentes que tan solo "There Can Only Be One".

El ripeo está hecho a partir del Director's Cut. Este se diferencia del original por escenas de acción adicionales, se resalta el carácter oscuro del héroe y el final se desarrolla a un ritmo más acorde al del resto de la película. No existen subtítulos en español para este Director's Cut, pero estoy adaptando los de la versión normal y traduciendo las líneas que faltan. Ah, si bien el anime es coproducido por el estudio MADHOUSE, el idioma original es el Inglés.

Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is the best thing to happen to Highlander fans since the original film. [It's] violent, dramatic, sexy, and actually smart. ... Combat sequences, including the obligatory sword fights, are nothing less than stellar. -- Chris Wyatt

Director's cut

Producer H. Galen Walker said in an interview: "There's about seven or eight additional scenes in the Japanese version that we cut out in the U.S. one, just for timing, and just for pace of story. That was the big issue. I'm sure Mr. Kawajiri was really unhappy about the cut, but this was what the other producers thought was best for everybody." An opening exposition text-sequence, which is traditional for Highlander films, was also added for the American version. Walker said that Kawajiri's original cut "will probably be out later this year," though the interview was conducted in June of 2007, and a director's cut has yet to be released. The director's cut will be released on December 5th, 2008. The running time is 96 minutes (10 minutes longer than the U.S. version).
