Films[]
In 1986, Mulcahy directed the cult classic film Highlander, featuring music from Queen. He later directed the sequel, Highlander II: The Quickening, but disowned it after the producers interfered with the film's creation. He eventually took the opportunity to restore his vision for the film - to some extent - with the DVD release of Highlander 2: The Renegade Version.
Mulcahy wanted to direct a film of the Burroughs story The Wild Boys, and talked to Duran Duran about writing the soundtrack in the same way that Queen had done for Highlander, but the project never came to fruition.
