2.0 out of 5 starsThe reason this fim makes no sense....
By Martin MacBlain on 11 Feb. 2003
Format: DVD
.... unfortunately this film really isn't any good. I spent several years barracking the film until I came across a nice surprise. Whilst whittling away the hours sat in my office, I came across a Highlander website. I noticed that Director Russell Mulchacy, along with the producers, had been given permission to 're-edit' this film. The result being 'Highlander 2 The Renegade Version'. Apparently the original idea for Highlander 2 was quite different from what was actually produced. The studio's did not like the script and several scenes were cut down, changed, or removed altogether, resulting in this 'Quickening' Version.
I was fortunate enough to have been able to obtain the 'Renegade' version and no longer do I feel that this is a bad film. There is over 20 minutes of unseen footage, all reference to the planet Zeist has been removed, and what we now have is a film that does follow on nicely from the original.
What the producers and director wanted, was a film that did follow on from the original, but also a film that could stand alone, so people who had not seen the original could still watch the film without having to have seen Highlander 1.
Although this 'Quickening' version is poor, the 'Renegade' version is well worth checking out!

3.0 out of 5 starsWatch film before writing article.
By Steve H on 11 Feb. 2005
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
*NOTE: This article relates to the Renegade Version and not the Cinematic release of Highlander 2*
I remember the anticipation of the release of the sequel to 1986's 'Highlander' and only too well the disappointment of the confused and mucked up product which appeared in our cinemas.
The story behind the 'Renegade Version' of Highlander II is simple. The reason for the botched cinema release was pressure exerted on the production company by the films insurance companies after the movie went over budget. They went over the directors head and made sure a 'film' was released to recover any overspend. The fools.
This version is the way the movie was meant to be. McLeod is not from Zeist, nor is Ramirez. Look back to the first frame of the original first movie. There lies the answer. In all there is about 20 extra minutes including scenes where Connor's wife dies (giving him the reason to construct the shield and save man).
The best part of this re-edit is the movement from scene to scene, just like the original movie.
I was a sceptic, but this version restored my faith in Russell Mulachy. Watch you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 starsTHERE CAN BE ONLY ONE VERSION!!!
By Stotty on 9 Jan. 2008
Format: DVD
The 'renegade' version of 'Highlander 2' is the only version any self respecting film fan should bother with.
For anyone unfamiliar with the 'renegade', it's quite simple.
Director Russell Mulcahy, who had successfully helmed the original 'Highlander' movie, pretty much had 'Highlander 2' taken off him during the production of the film as greedy producers wanted a quick cash in and felt that Mulcahy was taking too long and spending too much money on the picture. As a result, the version of 'Highlander 2' released in theatres was a world a way from the directors original vision, hence the poor reviews and horrendous reputation the film has garnered ever since.
This, the 'renegade' version of the film, shows director, Mulcahy getting his hands on the original rushes and footage he shot, and reconstructing the film the way he wanted it in the first place.
The results are strikingly familiar to those of Ridley Scott's when he finally got to piece together 'Blade Runner' the way he had originally intended, without film company suits, sticking their noses in.
'Highlander 2' now has certain scenes switched to different points in the film, which makes it flow much more smoothly.
The idea that the immortals are aliens from the planet Zeist has also been changed, and with the use of extra/added scenes, the film now has more continuity with the first film, as we see the reason why Macleod builds the 'ozone layer' device to begin with, as well as the reason for Ramirez's return.
The digital remaster shows off the excellent production designs in the movie, and the touched up special effects give 'Highlander 2' a much slicker feel. In fact the overall cinematogrophy on 'Highlander 2' is vastly superior to the original.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsA curious kind of magic
By Mr. R. W. Graham VINE VOICE on 12 July 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
It's the year 2024 and Connor Macleod is now an old man, mortal after winning the prize at the end of the first film and the Earth is under a huge shield built by Macleod to protect it from the vanished ozone layer. He is attacked by 2 immortals and becomes immortal again triggering memories of being banished 500 years earlier from the planet Ziest. Completely contradicting the first film with a plot that makes no sense and is thankfully ignored in future sequels and tv shows, the film does have some good action and effects and fun performances from both Christopher Lambert and an oddly revived from the dead Sean Connery with a hammy over the top performance from Michael Ironside as the main villain. An odd curiosity.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot good
By S P Mead on 29 Mar. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Oh my god ... this is SO bad!

It's not bad in the way that allows it to become good ... rather, it's just too bad.

I'm a fan of the first film in the series. I like the actors. But the story of this film is utter nonsense. It fails to connect to the first film in any meaningful way.

I bought this 'special edition' because I'd been told that the director had re-assembled the material to create a different version of the movie. Okay, but it's just as bad.

I suggest avoiding this film.
