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. Available in Original, Director's Cut, and Renegade Versions (3 different running times.)

Possibly the worst sequel ever...

A Customer from Nottingham, UK, 8th November, 2004

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.

There should have been only one.

A Customer from Barnham England, 16th May, 2005

As sean Connery said in the first film 'There can be only one'. I wish they had listened to him.

how to ruin the memory

A Customer from Kent, 17th December, 2004

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

Painfully aweful

Therv from , 3rd January, 2010

This sequel is so awful that even the popular lead actors look as though they're in an amateur school stage show. Many other films have bad sequels, but this was so bad that Highlander 3 continues from Highlander 1 as 2 never ever happened.

Embarrassing

Fletchisawesome from , 13th March, 2009

If you're a fan of the first film then don't expect anything from this 'sequel'. It's like they completely ignored the first plot and invented something else. I was planning on renting Highlander 3 too but if it's anything like this then I'm not going to bother.

Excellent

A Customer from Camberley, 10th March, 2009

I think I'd seen this before, but now I wonder. I've alwys liked Highlander but parts of this one I don't remember seeing before, all the best parts and the parts that explained things in fact. Definitely worth watching, I'd not hesitate to recommend it to all fans of sci-fi/fantasy based action pics..
