I sincerely hope Sean Connery got paid alot of money for this terrible sequel, for that is all he will receive. A flimsy plot and rubbish action scences make this film hard to watch till the end (which unfortunately I did).
The plot, such as it is, involves Chritopher Lambert, aka Connor McCloud, being brought back from old age by his old enemy, a baddy general from another planet, sending 'immortal' soldiers to kill him. Why?- we don't know, this wasn't explained.
Apparantly, Mccloud and the character played by Connery, along with others, were resistance leaders on this other planet, 500 years ago, and were captured and banished to earth by the baddy general, thus making them immortal until only one remained.
Why he didn't just kill them then was also a mystery. But not nearly as much of a mystery as to how none of this was mentioned in the first film!! Apart from the main characters having the same name, you would almost not know this was a sequel. Such a shame as the first film is a great romp, and very entertaining.
