Highlander 2: The Quickening continues to follow Highlander Connor MacLeod as he now dwells in a future world, battles to save the earth from the threat of a globe-covering shield.
Highlander 2 is a mess. Nevertheless, damn it, it's a gorgeous mess...incoherent, but a joy to stare at for 105 minutes, watching as a franchise is epically flushed down the toilet.
Incomprehensible doesn't even begin to explain it. This movie is the equivalent of the "Hey look over there!" gag. You look, and the guy you wanted to beat up has run away.
