  Ignoring the events of "Highlander 2," this film picks up 9 yrs after the first. We find MacLeod living with his adoptive son in Morocco and satisfied that he is the last immortal and has the coveted "Prize." Soon he receives a cognition that more immortals are alive (revived from "death" by an archaeological dig) and packs for NYC for a duel with the evil sorcerer immortal Kane. Made while the TV show was at its peak, this film benefits from the influence of its narrative and production style that had been refined over the years. Most of the characters and their relationships (especially the love interests) are thin and underdeveloped. The movie relies heavily on nostalgia for the 1st film for the impact of its emotional scenes. It also mirrors it's story to the point of being a near remake. The police hunt subplot simply drops out of the picture near the end and the villains are too silly to be threatening. The special f/x are enjoyable but underused (Kane barely uses his illusions during fights.) Still, the deja vu, and pretension and trickery themes are well handled (though not explored as much as they could have been). Lambert is as appropriately melancholy and good humored as in previous entries, Van Peeples is clearly having fun with his deliciously devilish over the top performance exploiting every villainous cliché in the book, Unger is soild in her role and quite beautiful (even more so in the obligatory sex scene, of course), and Mako's dignified presence is, of course, a welcome addition to the "Highlander" saga. The special f/x were good for its time and are still fairly impressive today. Overall, a competent production and a mildly entertaining, if rehashed, film with some interesting ideas that were not fully realized. This is the best of the sequels

  The third entry in the series has no discernible plot and suffers greatly from the absence of Sean Connery as the Highlander's mentor.

  We go back to the original premise but it takes on a new level of "What the..."

• xGary X

  
  Another feeble sequel to Highlander that again ignores it's own rules. Tries to recapture the magic of the original, and fails miserably.

  Just when you thought it couldn't possibly be any worse than Highlander II... Logic takes a vacation in part three of the increasingly-mind-numbing Highlander series. Van Peebles is frozen in the 14th century (or thereabouts) and thaws out in the 20th. Macleod is no longer… More
  Just when you thought it couldn't possibly be any worse than Highlander II... Logic takes a vacation in part three of the increasingly-mind-numbing Highlander series. Van Peebles is frozen in the 14th century (or thereabouts) and thaws out in the 20th. Macleod is no longer "only one" (though since Van Peebles wasn't actually DEAD all this time, one wonders how Macleod got the prize in the first place), and has to do battle with Van Peebles -- who, for some reason, knows how to drive a car and use a FAX machine. Brilliant. It just doesn't get any dumber than this... at least until Highlander: Endgame.
