    Kind of a mess to explain. We can't leave anything alone, can we?

    Liked the Verhoven-like TV ads. 2025 is filled with old cars and early 90's clothing. Dr. Cox.b Retractable swords. Oh and Sean Connery rules

    This movie doesn't really tie in with the original. Is he from the highlands or from space? It does have some good moments though.

    sean connery is still juan sanchez villalobos ramirez. but the introduction isn't funny anymore. connor mcleod and ramirez go to some other planet. ramirez picks up a chick in a plane that is clearly held up by strings. then mcleod and ramirez go fight some nefarious organization...( read more) doing some evil thing with nukes or something at some giant hydroelectric dam. this is not a joke. this is the plot of the movie. you see where i am going with this. when highlander: endgame is a vast improvement....

    The director's cut version with the 20 minutes of footage shot long after the original theatrical release! The orginal theatrical version was rushed out to quickly, had a completely different back story and was pretty terrible.

    I love the Highlander mythos. The storyline is awesome, but they REALLY did a BAD job on this installment. Roger Ebert was right on the money!

    "the most hilariously incomprehensible movie ... almost awesome in its badness."
