Poor, poor, poor "Highlander 2".
It's just too bad this movie has had such a bad time of it.
If there is one film out there that is in definite need of a fan edit, it's this one!
It's very true; Highlander 2 was one of the biggest disapointments in film history. But in fact, it's not at all a bad production. The acting is passable, cinamotography is on par with other big films of it's time, and the sets show a good deal of production value (even if the huge street set tends to look a bit more like a ride at a movie studio theme park at times).
The original USA edit is 100% BAD, and the Renegade version does not go far enough for my personal taste.
Well, that's why people like us do what we do. EDIT!
Building a better "Highlander 2" can, AND WILL be done!

With all the versions of H:2 around the world, and with so much alternate and deleted footage available for our use, a fan edit just has to be (at least) attempted.
Just for fun,
I know of at least nine Sci-Fi related moves that I would say are worse (or atleast no better) then "Highlander 2".
I would pop "Highlander 2" (The Original US version) into my DVD player before I would even look at:
1) Battlefield Earth 2) Spacehunter (Adventures in the Forbidden Zone) 3) Conan: the Destroyer 4) Matrix: Reloaded 5) "AI"
6) Bicentennial Man 7) The Phantom Menace 8) Batman and Robin 9) Event Horizon 10) Red Planet
Let's go on.....
11) Alien Resurrection 12) The Fifth Element (Chris Tucker killed this!) 13) Independence day 14) Armagedon 15) The Avengers
16) JP2: The Lost World 17) Waterworld 18) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 19) The Postman 20) KRULL 21) Revenge of The Sith
