Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the... Learn More

In the opening credits, read by the character of Joe Dawson(Jim Byrnes):
"He is Duncan MacLeod. . . the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the highlands of Scotland, and he is still alive; he is Immortal.
For 400 years, he's been a warrior. . . a lover. . . a wanderer. . . constantly facing other Immortals in combat to the death. The winner takes his enemy's head-- and with it, his power.
"I am a Watcher, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record, but never interfere. We know the truth about Immortals -in the end, there can be only one. May it be Duncan MacLeod. . . the Highlander."
I grew up watching this series on tv and fell in love with it - completely!! It became an obsession. I love it so much, I feel like I know all the characters. I only had the Complete series on vcd so I decided I would get the dvd, probably better quality too. Me and my cousin used to pretend we were different people in the series, I used to be Diana. I was always so fascinated by her, and I loved the glitter in her hair, the episode where they have the big wedding and Charles gets killed. And I love their clothes too. So I'm looking forward to watching it again, I only had it on vcd before, but dvd's are of better quality and this is really a must own for me. If you haven't seen the series before - wow, you are going to get a big treat! Very 80's, lot's of action, some cheesy lines,...

Volume 13: (Disc 1)
Where The Money Is (Episode 112): Rating (4) - An obnoxious film producer enlists The Saint to help get his kidnapped daughter back. Simon is off to Paris to act as the go between, and deliver the ransom. The Saint's wits are put to the test as he roams the French countryside pursued by a band of desperate men, in this episode directed by Roger Moore.
I remember, as a kid, the second series was cool because of all the neat creatures the character of Maya would change into; boy, was I so easy to entertain back then? Now, looking at series two, I wince at the changes Anderson made to the series. Gone was Barry Morse, who added a very human element to the experience of Moonbase Alpha. Gone was the dark, command center. Gone was the tension even trying to survive against uncertain odds in space. What replaced all this? Gaucho skirts, more make-up and more action violence in the series. Adding Catherine Schell and skirting all the females was an obvious attempt to sex up the series. Good stories were now sacrificed for gratuitous fisticuffs. Now Moonbase Alpha has become a love boat of joking and good vibrations, not to mention cheesier set...

If you're gonna quibble over which season is best, then Shatner's right - GET A LIFE!
I also saw this great series as a kid - in the 70s, before Star Wars, all we had was this, reruns of Trek, the Avengers & the Prisoner. Notice how most sci-fi needs at least 1 Brit (or at least a European) to give it some class - just a side thought...
As a kid, I liked the 2nd season - as an adult I like them both. The 1st season is a little darker in tone but I don't agree it was more 'adult' - just darker and less action-packed. As an adult, I see that it was more existential in tone, usually pitting Koenig against his crew. As a kid, this was a bit disturbing seeing how easily his crew turned against him, but as an adult, this does make the 1st season seem more realistic....
