Lucion V The movie that never should have existed! When I saw this movie in theaters back in the day. Every single fan that I knew of the original Highlander movie did not comprehend why such a horrible thing could be done when this story could have gotten so much better.... and then it did! The Highlander series of movies and TV show made the writers of this movie turn around and completely disavow it's existence in the Highlander Canon. 🤭🤭🤭🤭 They tried they failed they retconned.

I was just in shock still like I was told I won the lottery or a terminal illness. Because this throw so much nonsense and confusing stuff at you in a mere 80 minutes the human brain can't process it. At least a rational sane one. Half the time I was trying to process some of the plot elements because it just didn't make sense and completely contradicts what was in the first one. He can die now, he knew who Connery was, he was a midevil alien from another planet, the O-Zone layer biodome in a Blade Runner like world? And than the non stop crazy fight scenes that are just atrociously bizarre and remind me of the Super Mario Bros Movie type nonsense. The special effects are just bizarre and surreal with how they are used despite lots of practical effects. The blue screen effects are ridiculously bad. The humor is so...lazy and out of place at the same time. It feels like chunks of this film is missing, the tone is completely off, it jumps around terribly, it feels like it doesn't even know what it's about half the time. The origin story, romance, or the Bio dome thing which feels forgotten about in the middle all of a sudden becomes the end climax. I am...so confused watching this. And the music is...just over the top ridiculous and doesn't gel in the slightest. This has NONE of the charm, FUN cheese, sweeping settings, and imagination of the first. It feels like the spaghetti method instead here. I will say Connery is the ONE SLIGHTLY average thing in this but he's not in it enough to do anything really. It feels like this forgets and somehow also ignores at the same time parts of the first one as well. I can tell you it's one of the worst sequels ever made and to skip it. But man...I don't even know really what to say. Truly left me speechless and is the only reason it doesn't get a zero.

It reminds me more of cosplay. Totally amateur work from everyone, especially from Russell Mulcahy, Christophe Lambert and Sean Connery Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
