secoli per giungere ai giorni nostri e battersi in duelli allo scopo di
decapitarsi. Videogame miliardario, ultrasofisticato e violento, povero di
invenzioni narrative, meccanicamente ripetitivo, con personaggi inerti. Ancor
meno potabile del suo predecessore. Connery tenta inutilmente di portare un po'
d'ironia. Seguito da

«At the end of
Highlander,
Juan Ramirez (Sean Connery) died and Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) was
rendered mortal. Highlander 2: The Quickening begins in 1999 when Connor
solves the problem of an ever-depleting ozone layer on the earth by devising a
giant shield around the entire planet. The earth is saved, except for the fact
that it is now a continual 99 degrees, and the earth is plunged into 24 hours of
darkness. 40 years later, Connor is an elderly man with liver spots, heading out
for the opera. Then there is a flashback of Connor recalling his halcyon days on
the planet Zeist hundreds of years earlier. Back on Zeist, Connor and Ramirez
led a futile coup against the ruling dictator, Katana (Michael Ironside), that
caused them to be banished to Earth. Back in the future, Katana sends a pair of
wacky goons to kill Connor. When Connor lops off their heads, he is now young
again...and immortal. Just the right time to meet the attractive scientist
Louise Marcus (Virginia Madsen), who has discovered that the shield around the
earth is no longer needed since the ozone layer has repaired itself. But,
unfortunately, the shield is in the clutches of an evil cartel who wants to
control the earth's resources. Connor and Louise team up to battle the cartel
while Katana sends out more emissaries to get Connor. Ramirez, although
supposedly dead, also makes an appearance in the 21st century — garbed in full
