Highlander II: The Quickening (upload.wikimedia.org)

The year is 2024... And this movie is still delightfully horrible. Apparently created just so Christopher Lambert could work with Sean Connery again.

The premise is ridiculous on the face of it, stands in direct contrast to the simple premise of the original. The real question is why do I love it?

Get it in before the calendar rolls over. Free in prime for me in the states l.

Do yourself a favour and read Roger Ebert's review which opens as follows:

This movie has to be seen to be believed. On the other hand, maybe that's too high a price to pay. "Highlander 2: The Quickening" is the most hilariously incomprehensible movie I've seen in many a long day - a movie almost awesome in its badness. Wherever science fiction fans gather, in decades and generations to come, this film will be remembered in hushed tones as one of the immortal low points of the genre.

I frickin love this movie!

My favorite moment of the movie: https://youtu.be/KQM58wv7Ot8

Also Ironside's performance is just so great, you love to hate him!

Just a couple of dystopian porcupine splatteepunks fulfilling their civic duties.
