Review of Highlander: Endgame (2000) by Michael T — 25 Jan 2009

Christopher Lambert is so far the only consistent thing through the series but obviously doesn't give a shit about the script or the continuity.

2: Hey Christopher, remember that thing about being an immortal Highlander? Okay, here is the twist, you are actually a space alien who is exiled to earth.

3: Okay Christopher, remember the thing about being a space alien? Scrap that. Also. the thing about having won the prize? Forget about it. You aren't a space alien and you didn't win the prize because the only other remaining immortal was stuck in a cave for a few centuries so you couldn't have won the prize because you didn't kill him. Fool's mate, dude, hate to break it to ya.

4: Okay, last time Christopher, we're killing you off. This time none of the stuff about winning the prize or not winning the prize, fighting the sorceror, or the space alien shit is sticking. Instead, you check yourself into some immortal loonie bin so some mortal group of watchers can prevent immortals from winning the prize and you can sleep easy like a pussy who is afraid of life. Only you get broken out, you have a little bromance with your distant relative from the Clan McLeod (who coincidentally has the exact same sword as you), and then you let him kill you so he can beat some gay Mod who kills Donnie Yen without a proper kung fu fight.

The only thing redeeming this is the fact that I didn't mind the television series so much because it added to the mythology. Yeah, it fucked up the continuity just by its very existence but I think it was more in the spirit of the original idea than the second and third movies.
