Russell Mulcahy (/mʌlˈkæhi/ mul-KA-hee;[1][2] born 23 June 1953) is an Australian director of film, television, and music videos.[3][4] He began his career directing music videos for artists like Elton John and Duran Duran, before making his feature directorial debut with the horror film Razorback (1984). He achieved international prominence by directing the fantasy action film Highlander (1986), which spawned a multimedia franchise.
Mulcahy’s subsequent work includes Highlander’s first sequel Highlander II: The Quickening (1991), the superhero film The Shadow, the action-horror film Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), and the Errol Flynn biopic In Like Flynn. He was also a director and executive producer of the television series Teen Wolf (2011–17), and directed the film’s 2023 feature film spin-off.
Stylistically, Mulcahy’s work is recognisable by the use of fast cuts, tracking shots and use of glowing lights, neo-noir lighting, windblown drapery, and fans.
