Features: DVD
Prepare to experience a totally new incarnation of one of the most spectacular cinematic adventures...in the Director's Cut, Highlander 2: Renegade Version. This is the re-edited, completely restored saga of the continuing exploits of the immortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) and his swashbuckling mentor, Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Sean Connery). Whether you're a die-hard Highlander fan, or a newcomer to the incredible universe of the immortals, prepare to discover what millions have discovered before you: "There can only be one!"
Editor's Note
In this labyrinthine sequel, the Immortal MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) saves the people of Earth from immanent ozone layer-related destruction by building a shield that deflects sunlight. But the people of Earth aren't especially grateful, as the constant state of night has made them cranky and prone to criminal sprees. Moreover, bounty hunters from the Immortals' home planet, Zeist, have given chase, and it could mean curtains for us all unless MacLeod and an ecologist can liberate the Earth and banish the assassins.
Plot Summary
Immortal Scottish swordsman Connor MacLeod has just been banished to Earth for leading a failed rebellion on his home planet of Zeist. On Earth, he discovers the shield he built to shade humanity from a disappearing ozone -- though obsolete -- is owned and operated by a profit hungry, multi-national conglomerate at Earth's ecological expense. Guided by his spiritual leader Juan Ramirez and aided by beautiful environmental terrorist Louise Marcus, MacLeod will eliminate deadly assassins and dodge a dangerous trapnest to rid planet of his creation.
