  Opposed by a ruthless corporation, an Immortal investigates whether it's time to remove the ozone shield he suggested blanketing around the Earth, all while he's being hunted by another Immortal (either an alien or a visitor from the past, depending on which version you see) bent on unmotivated revenge. Understandably, this nonsensical, incompetent sci-fi action comedy that changed all the rules and brought back Sean Connery from the dead was an insult to fans of the first HIGHLANDER movie. If, however, you come to it with no attachments to the Highlander mythos, it's an amusing wreck: you watch director Russell Mulcahy make one bad decision after another, fumbling action sequences, adding embarrassing comedy relief, and including a bizarrely bloody train hijacking where riders are slaughtered by improbable G-forces.

  At one part of time i would of said this film was awful and was a dreadful attempt to continue a series and ruin is originality and mythology with its weak science fiction twist. But this directors cut of the film is a much better and exceptional version of Highlander 2, is it a worthy continuation to the series? absolutely not, but as a stand alone movie? yes its terrific and great to watch. An electrifying and explosive action-packed thriller. Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery are back wielding swords, kicking ass and showing off their great chemistry. An exhilarating and fun action flick.

  Crazy and bizarre like the first, but this went too far and lost everyone with the opening sequence depicting a dystopian future and revalation that Connor MacLeod and Ramirez are really from Ziest (an alien planet). It sadly isn't goofy enough or entertaining to call a stroke of accidental genius. Without the Queen soundtrack, flashbacks to Scottland and random sword fights every twenty minutes it becomes something not Highlander. Christopher Lambert still tried and for the most part is the only reason to see this movie. He has some great one-liners and nutty mannerisms.

  4 stars only for the renegade cut of the movie......very different movie.Ok still not that good but enteraining to watch.

  Highlander 2 is a true epic in it's badness, a Citizen Kane of awfulness that can never be truly put into words. You can't be told how bad this film is, you have to see it? But be warned it's not bad in cute way, or like an Ed Wood film, it's bad like having a root canal without the novocaine way. Highlander 2 had appeared to come from good pedigree; the original team were in place including the director and the main cast Lambent and Connery. But when a film starts out with an alien world called Ziest you know you are in trouble. Now for sure there are worse films out there, but these are probably student films or what Roger Corman left on the cutting room floor. What takes Highlander 2 into uncharted realms of movie badness is the sheer scale of its drop in quality from the first. It's like having a favorite old sweet frail aunt when you were a child who would give you chocolates and toys, and then all of a sudden she ingests 5 bottles of steroids takes out a chainsaw and hacks all your family and friends to death. This is the kind of shock you get from watching highlander and then moving on to highlander 2. There are no words in any language that can describe just how bad this film is. You also have to wonder what awesome substances must have been past around the studio and cast that no one thought this film was a bad idea and that the best idea was to burn the negative on the spot. With regards spoilers there is no way to spoil this film however this film is the mother of spoilers for the first film. It exterminates the premise of Highlander which was the mystery of the immortals. It's rare that a bad sequel can have such a negative impact on the quality of the first film, but Highlander 2 does a good job of destroying the first film. Once you know who the immortals are you can never look at the first film in the same light, such is the sheer biblical badness of this film and it's so called plot. It will probably take another thousand years before anyone comes close to making another film as bad as this one. Roger Ebert summed this film up the best by saying " it's awesome in it's badness"

  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.

• Curtis L

  
  Uh...they need to not make these movies.

• Dean M

  
  Good to see Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery reprise their roles as the Highlander and his mentor who have been banished to Earth. Great special effects can't keep one from thinking that something is missing from the film - like a cohesive plot.

• Steve K

  
  One of the all time great "what the hell" movies. Completely subverts the narrative of the first film. All eye candy, no brains, and an insult to fans of the original.

  Suddenly the Immortals are from another planet? Banished to Earth for some insurrection, forced to fight one another -- and then receive a prize? Apparently the "renegade" version is re-cut and this whole other planet subplot is dealt with in a different manner, but it hardly matters. Just so much crap.

• xGary X

  
  Hopeless sequel that throws out all the elements of the original that made it interesting. The action is reasonably well-handled, and Ironside's gleeful villain is quite watchable but the writer seemed to just be making it up as he went along. Incoherent and non-sensical.

• Jason S

  
  Where were they going with this one.

• Burger S

  
  They really screwed this one up. Now they're Aliens? What the hell?. If you watch the 3rd one it's almost as if this piece of you know what never happened.

• Anthony V

  
  Nowhere as entertaining or as fun as the original.

• Barry L

  
  Mo where near as good as the first but see it.
