Product Description

Amazon.ca

Theatrically released in 1991 as Highlander II: The Quickening, this sequel was later reedited and gained a small but loyal following (prompting a spinoff TV series), but at the time of its release critic Roger Ebert called it "the most hilariously incomprehensible movie ... almost awesome in its badness." In other words, you might find some guilty pleasure in this chaotic sequel to 1986's Highlander, in which Christopher Lambert reprises his role as Connor MacLeod, a member of the alien race known as "Immortals," banished to Earth from his home planet Zeist some 500 years ago. In the year 1999, Lambert owns a corporation that has created a shield to protect the Earth following the depletion of the ozone layer. But the shield is seized by an evil cartel, and Virginia Madsen plays a scientist who assists MacLeod in his mission to destroy the cartel. Sean Connery also reprises his role from Highlander as the Scottish Immortal named Ramirez (?!), but by the time he starts engaging in dashing swordplay you may wonder if he's wandered in from another movie altogether. Highlander fans welcomed the laserdisc and DVD release of this "renegade" director's cut, which attempts to clarify the original version's confusing plot. The DVD includes THX and AC-3 audio, director and producers' commentary, a generous photo archive, and an original documentary about the making of the film. --Jeff Shannon

1.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Bad Oct 14 2002
By Malleus
Format:VHS Tape
The first movie was one of my all time favorites, so I was thrilled to find out that there would be a sequel. I knew Michael Ironside would be a villan (good call), and somehow Sean Connery would be back (I wasn't sure how, considering he had died, but I was willing to suspend disbelief).

What a profound disappointment.

The sequel was as bad as the original was good. They completely ignore any continuity and disavow the story line. I mean... my god!

Words fail to describe just how bad this movie is.

First we got the re-edited "Renegade Version" which did absolutely nothing to improve this abominable sequel. Now they are "re-imagining" it with over 100 new visual effects shots!??!?!? Are they THAT DESPERATE?!?!?! We get THIS instead of the Richard Donner cut of Superman II?!?!?!? NOTHING and I mean NOTHING can redeem this film from being one of the worst sequels in film history. Why bother trying to polish a diamond out of a turd?

Heh. Guess what? The theatrical version was bad and made no sense, but this "Renegade Version", making SLIGHTLY more sense, is equally bad - AND longer. Read more

The glory of Highlander I is its mythical storyline. Like Lord of the Rings, the beauty of magic in a rational world is appealing to fantasy enthusiasts all around the world. Read more
