Whateve...Ross, I hope you get this message in time. Whatever you do, DO NOT WATCH HIGHLANDER 2. It will make you age prematurely by 2 full hours. It is a horrendous waste of time.<br /><br />The movie explains where the immortals came from: They are aliens from planet Zeist. <br /><br />Connor MacLeod gets desparate in one scene, and wishes that Ramirez would be there to help him save the ozone layer. A flash of light from the sky, and BOOM! Sean Connery appears on stage during a performance of Hamlet. I am not kidding. This is WAY beyond suspending disbelief. You would have to be totally drunk and high on illicit substances to find this mildly believable. It's baaaaad.<br /><br />I do not wish this cinematic torture to be inflicted upon any human being.<br /><br />The first movie was decent, and "there should have been only one". Then again, I was reading rumors this morning that the guys who wrote the new Iron Man movie are going to make a remake of the original Highlander movie.Friendly Technocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519350934207538519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27452066.post-72712678481351610652009-12-19T20:11:29.937+11:002009-12-19T20:11:29.937+11:00Is Pulp Fiction worth seeing if you're not a T...Is Pulp Fiction worth seeing if you're not a Tarantino fan?<br /><br />I've seen the original Highlander, but haven't bothered with any of the sequels. Aside from the suspension of disbelief required to accept a Scotsman playing a Spaniard, how did they bring back Sean Connery's character even though he was most definitely killed?Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827731848618933239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27452066.post-32962160380151400612009-12-19T20:10:45.372+11:002009-12-19T20:10:45.372+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827731848618933239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27452066.post-68453170209362662532009-12-11T13:01:56.277+11:002009-12-11T13:01:56.277+11:00Ross, that movie was so awful, and I had entirely ...Ross, that movie was so awful, and I had entirely forgotten about it, but now you reminded me of it. Did Highlander 2: The Quickening make the list? I hope it did.
