Highlander 2

In this labyrinthine sequel, the Immortal MacLeod saves the people of Earth from immanent ozone layer-related destruction by building a shield that deflects sunlight. But the people of Earth aren't especially grateful, as the constant state of night has made them cranky and prone to criminal sprees. Moreover, bounty hunters from the Immortals' home planet, Zeist, have given chase, and it could mean curtains for us all unless MacLeod and an ecologist can liberate the Earth and banish the assassins.

    Possibly the worst sequel ever...

    Highlander 2 has the potential of being the worst sequel ever made due to the fact the the original Highlander was such a fabulous movie.

    After pretending like the first movie never happened, the story revolves around Connor McCloud being involved in the repair ozone layer! C'mon ... how ridiculous.

    If it wasn't for the fact that the same guy who made this directed the first film, I'm sure he would be a taxi driver today... and I know that studios get involved and usually mess around and make great films just sometimes seem good, but there was nothing remotely good about this when it was just on paper surely, what a mess.

    Steer well clear of this turkey.

    how to ruin the memory

    The first highlander film was brilliant, but the memory was ruined by this appalling sequel. Highlander is definitely one of those films that should have been left as it was without any sequels. Even the return of Sean Connery in this film did nothing to lift it up.

    Not really worth watching
