(More customer reviews)Why do you Highlander goons want to take shots at Lorenzo? Everyone knows that the lead character in "The Immortal," Raphael Cain, is not based on any Highlander character from the movies, TV show or Animated Series. Nope, Cain is based on Soldier Kelly from the "Snakeeater" trilogy, possibly the greatest action movie trilogy ever. In "The Immortal," you have all the elements that made "Snakeeater" great: the sidekick (Goodwin, the squire, played by Steve Braun), the "he's just misunderstood" psychologist (played by April Telek) and of course, Mr. L2 himself beating and slicing the crud out of everything in sight. Throw in a little demon-slaying action and you've got a new, re-vamped and upgraded "Snakeeater" ready for the jungle that is 21st century syndicated television. Why didn't they let me pitch this idea?
Well, anyway, the series was cancelled before all the episodes were shown (on WGN in my neck of the woods), so if you are a fan of the show, this dvd set is a dream come true. I found the series enjoyable and my only complaint about it was the huge number of commercials. Of course, that complaint is addressed with the dvd collection. I'm looking forward to this, and collectors better snap it up as I doubt there will be many copies made. Looking for the dvd equivalent of the fabled "Mystery Meat" Vinyl LP that sold for thousands of dollars on eBay a couple years back? You may be looking at it!

Handsome Raphael Cain (Falcon Crest's Lorenzo Lamas) sees his wife slain and his daughter stolen by sinister demons. With an unholy fury and a vow of vengeance so powerful that the fates decree him The Immortal, Cain fights for centuries against the forces of darkness led by Malloa (Dominic Keating, Star Trek: Enterprise), which are hell-bent on a Satanic reign on Earth. By the 21st century, the demons have grown more powerful and determined, and Cain needs the help of modern-day squire Goodwin and the lovely Dr. Sara Beckman in his quest to defeat evil once and for all. For the first time, enjoy the complete 22-episode run of this action-adventure TV series on DVD!
