- Queen did do all the songs and SOME of the incidental music, but they didn't
- write ALL the in-between stuff. I can't remember who composed the
- orchestral stuff for some of the action scenes, but some of it wasn't
- performed or written by Queen. Sorry I don't know who...but as a basic rule,
- where it sounds like Queen it is Queen, but with the exception of Who Wants
- to Live Forever, the orchestral parts aren't by them at all. But it is
- definitely an awesome movie, and A Kind of Magic is an awesome record (with
- the exception of 2 or 3 songs, like most Queen albums). As far as the
- series is concerned, I was under the impression that it was new (not to
- mention that I think Highlander is a 1986 movie and that the series sprung
- from the movie, not vice-versa). I saw some people watching it here at
- school, and I peeped in just because I heard Princes of the Universe being
- played as the titile song. I don't have the heart to go rent Highlander II
- 'cause I'm afraid to ruin what I thought of the first film.

- > They may have also written the music for the sequel, Highlander II. >But
- I haven't seen it yet...
-
- I'm pretty sure that they didn't. But I haven't seen it yet, either.
