Movie Reviews of Highlander 2 - Renegade Version (The Director's Cut)
Movie Review: Very bad sequel
Summary: 2 Stars
I can say am not a 5-star Highlander fan, but I like it a lot. So, when I watched the first movie of the saga, I was very enthusiastic about watching the sequel. So, I got the renegade version because I knew that the "Zeist idea" was taken out of the plot. But even that, we can't say too much about this movie, only that the plot is a little bit better. Poor acting, bad script, bad optical effects (note that when Ramirez is on the airplane, in the first shot is shown that the sky is totally red, but when the camera turns inside of the airplane, you can see the sun out of the window!!!!), poor dialogues, and the idea of putting Ramirez inside the plot again was not taken in the sense of giving him an important role in the movie. In overall, I know why fans don't think as this movie as a true sequel.
Summary of Highlander 2 - Renegade Version (The Director's Cut)
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. --Jeff ShannonAction & Adventure DVD Video
