gorf When people talk about Highlander, they usually claim that the horrible sequels ruined everything, that the first movie was a masterpiece etc. The simple truth is that Highlander was garbage from the beginning. If you remove the unnecessary sex, bad language and violence, It's just a bad saturday morning cartoon. Terrible sword fights, cheesy music, the big bad villain is a clown like Bebop or Rocksteady...the part where Cohner McLeaughd wins the price would fit in nicely in a He-Man episode. "I have the pooowuuhhrrrr!"This movie is no different. Names like "General Katana", "Planet Zeist" and Captain Planet-style environmentalism. It's almost unfair to compare it to a saturday morning cartoon, because Highlander 2 makes Care Bears look like How Green Was my Valley.The worst thing about this piece of cow dung is when General Katana (sigh) takes over the subway train and kills a lot of innocent people. They actually show a baby and its mother getting killed. After the baby-killing, the villain cracks a "funny" joke. It's sick and evil...you shouldn't be allowed to do that in movies. You don't mess with babies (or old ladies). Someone should spank the director...but he would probably enjoy it.Terrible movie. Stay as far away from this as possible.

slightlymad22 Highlander 2: The Quickening (1991)Plot In A Paragraph: In the future, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) must prevent the destruction of Earth under an anti-ozone shield.With literally three hours to waste, I decided to watch both versions (theatrical and renegade) back to back.In both versions, it's all style over substance. It's produced with a decent budget but the action was all visual effects and mindless violence. After The Hunt For Red October, Connery didn't need to wait to long to get his ponytail. Since apparently your hair still grows in the after life, Despite biting the dust in the first movie, Connery is back. "When you need me, you only have to call my name" Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez is a hell of a name to tell if you were in a tricky spot. Luckily simply "Ramirez" worked.Apart from James Bond, Ramirez is the only other character Sean Connery has played in more than one film. He received 3.5 million dollars for nine days of filming (which amounts to about 10 mins screen time). Connery used all the money as donations for charitable causes. Did he take this one for the money?? At least he did some good with it if he did. There are too many differences in the two versions to list, scenes are cut and changed around, dialogue is changed or missing, but in both versions, the plot is pretty much a muddled mess, there are a lot of continuity errors and most of the supporting cast are awful (Especially following on from watching The Russia House which was filled with wonderful performances). Virginia Madsen is gorgeous, but her character is annoying and her constant costume changes (every scene) are a distraction. Michael Ironside (whilst a decent actor) seems to be doing an awful impression of Kurgan from the first movie, however he is nowhere near as intimidating as Clancy Brown. John C McGinley (an actor I like) is awful and how on earth did Jerry The Cab Driver ever get cast in a movie?? In the Renegade version the end fight is split in to two scenes about 30 mins apart, making the end fight a tad anti climactic and over too soon!! Connery's scenes are more spread out too in this version too, to make it look like he is in it more. The airplane scene is split into separate parts for example. Sadly my favourite line of dialogue of his is missing in The Renegade VersionMaCloud "It sounds like magic" Ramires "Well it is..... hmmm kind of"Referencing the Queen song A Kind Of Magic wrote for the first movie. Highlander 2 grossed $15 million at the domestic box office to end 1991 as 73rd highest grossing movie of the year.

SnoopyStyle The year is 2024. The planet is protected by a shield after the ozone layer is gone. In 1999, mortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) help created the shield to save the world after Brenda's death. Back in 2024, David Blake (John C. McGinley) runs the corporation that operates the shield. Louise Marcus (Virginia Madsen) discovers that the ozone layer has actually been restored. An elderly Connor is attacked by two killers. Connor beheads them. There is a Quickening and Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez (Sean Connery) is resurrected. In flashbacks, Connor and Juan are rebels on the planet Zeist against the tyrannical rule of General Katana (Michael Ironside). They were captured and sentenced to battle on Earth in the Quickening contest. Katana had sent the two killers for Connor.WTF. WTF. The original ended in an odd place for a sequel. There are more interesting ways to revive the Quickening. Connor was given an interesting power. Somebody started to pile on crazy story elements to try to connect all the dots and fail miserably. Going forward into the future with crazy ozone layer talk is sci-fi gobbledygook. It is bad writing that is compounded by the interstellar origin story. The whole thing is madness and destroyed the franchise for me.

pedrola182 Yeah you know its just like I said the best movie I've watched in my whole life. Watch it with your kids!Watch it with your wife! Watch it while making love! (I REALLY recommend, did this a thousand times) Love how they explain things. You know, the ending, my god, my head was blown off, just like the entire movie, cause after watching the first one, this one made my crazy! Cause, you know, I think it REALLY is the best movie I've watched. Sooooooo good. And the acting. OH. MY. GOD. You know, when I first watched it I thought it was not going to be a good movie because of some actors. You know, I love Sean Connery and like (just a little bit) of Christopher Lambert. But the another actors that appear on the movie, you know, I played the movie thinking "ok this is gonna be horrible" BUT I'm wrong, again. All the actors should, right now, just get an Oscar for this movie. Seriously, clapping my hand for you guys. Especially for Virginia Madsen. Man, she rocked it the whole movie. And the plot. Oh, the plot. It's the most complicated plot I've ever seen in movies, but it works so well. Really has a beginning, a middle and an ending. And IT ROCKS!!!! BEST MOVIE EVER!!! As always, have a nice day and be #TeamHighlander2.
