The movie that spawned "The Highlander Rule"
Widely accepted as one of the worst sequels of all time, Highlander II takes the story of an ostensibly mystical race of immortals, fighting for the prize of ultimate power, and redefines it as a sci-fi tale, where the immortals are in fact alien beings exiled to earth, with the prize being the ability to return home, or grow old and die on earth. When Connor McLoud, now an old man, kills another alien who has just been sent to earth, he is made immortal once again; and must use his abilities, along with help from Ramirez (who, apparently, Connor can bring back from the dead just by calling his name, which kind of makes you wonder why he took this long to do so), must battle an oppressive future government to save the world. This movie was so bad that it spawned what I refer to as ?The Highlander Rule?, which says that when a movie sequel reaches a certain level of awful, I simply refuse to acknowledge its existence when speaking of the franchise.
