• Highlander 3 [1994]

  Duncan Skinner 08 May 2005

  

  'Highlander': a straightforward popcorn-movie imbued with flamboyant visual art and tantalising ambiguity. 'Highlander 2': a monumental disaster which adopted an atrociously miscalculated approach, and ended up awash with more continuity/logic mistakes than your average Glen A. Larson serial. 'Highlander 3': the third installment in 'The Downfall of an Immortal', continuing to do untold damage to the memory of the original, despite getting some things right. However, it's the things it gets wrong which stand out most - Connor MacLeod was not supposed to be immortal during this chapter!! And as for Mario Van Peebles' line about MacLeod not having won The Prize at the end of the first film, AAAAAARRRGGH!! If that had been the case, he wouldn't have been able to tell us what The Prize was, would he?
  Set (sensibly) between the first two films, this pits MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) against master of illusion and fellow immortal Kane (Van Peebles), who's spent the last 400 years sealed up in a cave. Now free, he is, of course, intent on world domination. Also thrown in for good measure is the obligatory heroine - Alex Johnson (Deborah Cara Unger), a research scientist from the Museum of Ancient History and the reincarnation of one of MacLeod's old flames. She's on the trail of the duelling duo and destined for not one, but two bouts of the infamous Lambert Nipple Suck (literally every film he's in... I'm not exaggerating.)
  The script is embarrassing, the story often stupid, there's an appallingly cliched and naff cop stereotype in the mix, and Van Peebles' character is a verbatim imitation of Clancy Brown's Kurgan from the original. The film strives to be more like 'Highlander' than last time, but often falls foul when it tries too hard, and while the obvious intentions are most welcome, the result is not.
  Viva 'Highlander'! To Hell with the sequels!!
