"Highlander 2". What can I say? Surely with a film like the prequel, this should not fail. Surely. Maybe not.

The "action" starts about thirty years from where the original left us, and we now see Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) as a content old man living his life out. Enter favourite 80's baddie, Michael Ironside - and as soon as Connor gets a taste of the "action" he suddenly becomes immortal again. Strange - it gets worse.

We are told that The Immortals are not actually human, but from another world, we see the "Spanish" Sean Connery return, who only tries his best, and of course the typical 80's weak heroine, Virgina Madsen, makes an appearance.

A failure of a film, although do try and see the directors cut of the film - it's a touch better, and less ludicrous.

"Highlander 2" is very stupid indeed.

Yes, the Renegade Version has to be seen, because the original cut was a wretched botch-job by the Studio. Some of the ideas were quite intruiging, though definitely NOT the whole Planet Zeiss travesty!
