Conner MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) returns in this, the third film in the Highlander series. MacLeod is an "Immortal," a 16th century Scottish soldier who has been both blessed and cursed with the gift of eternal life. After the death of his beloved wife (a common occurrence for him, but one he's never gotten used to), MacLeod travels to Japan during the feudal era where he encounters a fellow immortal, the wizard and swordsman Nakano (Mako). Nakano and MacLeod become friends, and the Scott learns many valuable lessons from the wise magician; however, when Nakamo's arch enemy Kane (Mario Van Peebles) -- an immortal who has pledged himself to evil -- finds the sorcerer's hideaway, he promptly chops off the magician's head. The attack causes Nakamo's cave to collapse with Kane trapped inside, and McLeod narrowly escapes. Moving into the 20th century, MacLeod is in New York City where he's become romantically involved with Alex Johnson (Deborah Unger), an archeologist who is planning a dig in Japan; however, the site she's excavating just so happens to be the cave where Kane remains trapped inside. Once the villain is freed, he sets out to find MacLeod and determine once and for all who is to be the final immortal. Highlander: The Final Dimension was trimmed of two sex scenes for its American theatrical release, though they were restored when the film was brought out on home video. Despite the suggestion of the title "The Final Dimension," a fourth Highlander film was released in 2000. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

One of several elaborate music videos created by the hard rock band Guns N' Roses for their wildly ambitious two-part album Use Your Illusion, "Estranged" was a ten-minute video that combined striking sets, a number of location shoots, live footage of the band, and a subplot involving dolphins into something very different from what many fans expected. Guns N' Roses: The Making of Estranged offers a look at the production of one of the most unusual music videos created by a one-of-a-kind band; the video also features the full, uninterrupted version of the final "Estranged" promo clip. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

After completing the epic-length album Use Your Illusion (big enough that the band opted to release it as two separate 75-minute discs), the hard rock band Guns N' Roses opted to promote it with a handful of very elaborate videos. Guns N' Roses: Videos 1 (aka Guns N' Roses: Makin' F@*!ing Videos, Pt. 1) offers a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the band's promo clip for "Don't Cry," detailing both the funny and annoying backstage logistics and the technical challenges involved. This documentary also includes an interview with Shannon Hoon, the late frontman for the group Blind Melon, who sang backup on the song. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Best known for their radio staples "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Careless Whisper," the seminal 80s pop group Wham! (George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) shot Wham! In China: Foreign Skies circa 1985. Although Lindsay Anderson is credited as director, Michael fired him early on due to extensive on-set disagreements (that's putting it mildly) and had the film reedited to place less emphasis on China and more emphasis on Wham!. In the resulting film, the group performs 12 numbers, including the aforementioned hits, "Ray Of Sunshine," "Blue," and "Young Guns (Go for It!)". ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
