Highlander - The Series, Season 3 Video Set [VHS]

I just thought to see how Adrian Paul is. Check his filmography. I have always enjoys martial arts. I thought back in the 90s when I was watching Highlander "certainly looks like he has real world training, that it's not all just choreographed" when I read about the training Adrian has had I decided I have gotta see if I can own the series. I have stayed up & got very little sleep because I can't stop watching. Takes me back... but it's amazing how the passing of time affects how you remember things. Its been awesome to revisit the series. Better yet, I own it. Now if I could buy that incredible sword. And get the series on Blu-ray would be even better. Thanks Adrian. Marie Purvis

Highest Recommendation

must watch it! I left these at home and now I'm streaming them over the internet.
The serie is a piece of my past and I watch it from time to time.

It was Season 3 when I really became interested in the television series. An interesting bit of trivia about the Cross of St. Antoine episode, was the episode was originally planned for Season 2 under the title of: "The Chalice of St Antoine". Due to the fact the screenwriter was an American union rules could not allow it to be filmed in Paris so a quick re-set we got the episode with Luther instead. For those of you who watch to gag reel in which Joe Dawson was trying to break the window of the door while his girlfriend was being murder in front of his eyes. What happened was the speacial sugar glass window that was to be used broke in transit to the location. The director decide the actress playing the scholl teacher needed to have a speaking part so there were no funds in the budget was a replacement. If you look closey Dawson's cane was actually a crowbar painted brown.

Highlander Season 3 continues to follow the exploits of Duncan MacLeod as he continues his fight to the death with other immortals. In this season, you will find out how Duncan got his katana. He has a new love, Ann Lindsey. He fights a ghost that makes him feel that he's losing all sense of reality, but the ghost turns out to be real. He get blackmailed when a mortal records a beheading on tape. He dies in front of Ann and relocates to Paris. He then fights the evil Kalas in several episodes. Have fun with this season.

very happy, looking forward to my next purchase.

"Methos." We are introduced to an intriguing Watcher--who also happens to be the elusive myth of an immortal: Methos. Great episode. He crosses paths with a homicidal immortal who wants to destroy everything in his path--friends, and all who are close to MacLeod. Revenge, as MacLeod accidentally, in the past, caused him to lose his reason, and reason for living: his singing voice.

Came in as described. Great movie
