Critics consensus

“People hate Highlander because it's cheesy, bombastic, and absurd. And people love it for the same reasons.”

Those who can indulge it will find it uniquely quirky, funny and eccentrically ambitious.

Even Gerry Fisher's camerawork can't convince me that this is other than the most inutterable tosh.

Made with such superstyle Highlander does have entertainment value but this can only be a one-off.

Russell Mulcahy’s Highlander is without a doubt one of the finest cult films of the 1980s. This 1986 film is a wonderful action-fantasy romp that pretty much works on every level.
