Rating: 4.00 head-loppings
Genre: Fantasy
Starring: Christopher Lambert, Mario Van Peebles
Plot: Highlander III: We Can Learn From Our Mistakes! is what this should have been called. For those of you put off by H2:TQ, do not worry. There is no Zeist, no aliens, and no Sean Connery's ghost ("Help me Obi-Wan 007"). This is an entertaining movie, but I must say I prefered the first movie. Anyway, the basic plot is that some dude (I forget the name, but he was the guy played by Peebles) killed Mac's Japanese mentor but got trapped in an avalanche. Hundreds of years later, he emerges (thanks to excavation) and tries to kill Macleod. Peebles is really evil looking and has a creepy voice too, so he really works as a villain. There is plenty of comic relief though, particulary the mental ward escape scene. One thing was disappointing though: no Queen music in the soundtrack.
One thing puzzled me though. The Prize was supposed to make Connor really powerful, but he wasn't. Maybe the answer was in H2: TQ, which means I may have to watch it :(
OK, one other thing puzzles me. When you kill an Immortal you get his power, and we saw Peebles use that Japanese dude's illusion power, but how come we never see MacLeod (either one) using the funky powers of all those dudes THEY killed?
Viewing Advice: Yes, give this movie a shot. This is not a great movie, but it is a good movie.
