OVERALL: Draw
The US release for the 7.1 audio and additional extra features.
The Japanese release has two cuts of the film, though note it only has 2.0 audio, only a trailer as an extra, and the theatrical cut having a non-anamorphic transfer on DVD.
The following versions of the film are known:
- The US theatrical version (~90min),
- The European theatrical version (~100min).
- The 1996 Renegade version (~110min),
- The 2004 Renegade version (~110min).
*The European theatrical version includes a fairy tale ending.
*The 1996 Renegade version restores ~20min of footage and features a different sequence of events, providing continuity lacking from the theatrical release. These changes along with the extra footage allow the movie to follow the plot of the original Highlander movie.
A comparison between the US and Renegade version is available on Movie Censorship.
*The 2004 Renegade version removes a scene taking place when Connor and Louise are going back to shield control after they go above the shield in the mountains. This version of the movie cuts directly from them driving the truck in to Connor's final fight with general Katana. In the Renegade version, you see a guard patrolling and Louise distracts him then Connor knocks him out. A couple of guards open fire on them and they run away, then it cuts to Connor walking in to the final fight.
