spoilersin 1986 and with a queen soundtrack to be proud of and there be highlander . with christopher lambert a connor mcleod of the clan mcleod and 80 cinema have a hero worthy of our attention . with that in mind and it feel obvious now that a sequel be always go to appear . this sequel eventually would make an appearance in 1991 and but to this day and i would be very surprised if anyone felt this film be a good idea . in highlander ii represent the quickening and connor mcleod be an old man . have become mortal at the end of the original feature and mcleod save the world with a shield to protect the world from the typical 1980s terror that be global warming . twenty five year later and the shield have become a plague upon mankind and cover the sky and leave the world in eternal darkness . with the help of his old friend ramirez ( sean connery ) and louise marcus ( 80 icon virginia madsen ) and mcleod do battle with old enemy general katana ( michael ironside ) a he attempt to fix his old mistake . there really be little good that can be say about this second highlander film . simply put and it never should have be make . rather than try to think up any good point and let just look a few of the problem with it . firstly and the plot of highlander ii destroy element of the original film . whilst in the original and mcleod be bear in medieval scotland and connery ramirez be an ancient egyptian and in this film they be exciled rebel from a different planet . sent to earth a punishment and they be tell they may only return home once there be only one of them remain . this new twist to the highlander idea be hideous and quite frankly and farcical . the second truely awful thing about this film be the act . whilst not a massive fan of sean connery at the best of time and in this film he be particularly attrocious a the egyptian alien with a scottish accent who die to the sound of scottish bagpipe . alongside him be the tedious christopher lambert who speak so softly during the film that the volume need to be raise to a degree that any sound effect deafen the audience . whilst a novel if unbelievable partnership in the first film and in the sequel connery and lambert be generally awful . the final problem with this film which be worth talk about be the colour and the lighting involve . a a result of the shield be bright red and blot out the sun and the vast majority of this film be set in either pitch black or in a brain haemorraging red and black mix . it be impossible to follow the event in this film and not just due to the abysmal plot and but also because if you look at the screen for too long and you find your retina burn inside your skull . in an attempt to summarise and whilst the creator of highlander produce a simple action film which be simple to relax and enjoy and when they create this first sequel to it and they create an abomination . highlander ii be in the bad 100 film of all time list on this website and the only criticism to be make of this be that it isn not in that list at number one . avoid this film like the black death .
