The "Renegade" tag is an often misunderstood film school term that is usually reserved for projects that are either experimental or controversial in nature or have a very limited shelf life. It was brought into the public lexicon by Director Russell Mulcahy in 1995 when, after much controversy, he released his Director's Cut of his critically panned 1992 film Highlander II: The Quickening. This cut, dubbed "The Renegade Version," not only significantly improved upon the version the studio released 3 years prior, but it turned the formerly derided film into a cult favorite. This new "Renegade" Ashley trailer (link featured below) was made exclusively for a 2012 film festival I was part of in St. Charles, IL. It was only intended to screen for that show. I'll keep it up for a few days so that this blog's followers can take a look. Admittedly, this serves as a terrific synopsis for the film, but I still favor the newest version.
