... was the use of innovative editting like the added dimensionality in the final fight scene & the seemeless scene transitions in the original. It wasn't the usual expensive FX. It was a less just a fresh perspective at cinema photograghy. But, if the story didn't develope the characters, all this would've been for nought. I don't think it would've been recognized. Recognition is God in Hollywood.

I consider Highlander, the Matrix of its day. While the Highlander brought new emphisis on editting & filming to the art of the story, Matrix brought style. "Avengers" did this before but wasn't recognized. Even, "Lost in Space" developed the CGI for on of the famous Matrix scenes, but wasn't recognized (all probably because of that virtual alien. I shouldn't talk I feel the same way about that radio personality in 5th Element. If only that character died).

As far as the Highlander soundtrack is concerned, I think I'll have to dig those films out again. I never noticed a perponderance of any particular genre...........
