Review of Highlander II: The Quickening (1991) by Ellis W — 22 Jun 2007
Easily the greatest movie of our generation. It's so earth-shatteringly bad it makes a full circle and becomes brilliant. It starts off by telling us that MacLeod and Sean Connery actually knew each other before the first movie, as space-aliens from the planet Zeist.
Seriously. Oh, so it's the year 2024 and the ozone layer is dying, and Macleod had built a giant red shield from the sun in 1995 with his bare hands. Which made it nighttime all the time. Anyway, the shield is no longer necessary and is an evil corporation, so MacLeod resurrects Sean Connery by yelling his name really loud and they go fight The Shield Corporation with whatever love interest blew the casting director.
In the end Sean Connery dies again by using some unexplained power that is remarkably similar to "The Force" from Star Wars to hold up a giant rotating drill bit so MacLeod can run away. This is the single most useless movie of all time.
It's hard to explain to you just exactly how bad it is. You have to see it.
