In terms of relative greatness, though, I don't know that this can be matched.

Like "The Exorcist II," the Highlander sequel undoes and subverts the mythology of the first movie, shifting us from fantasy to sci-fi: the "immortals" are no longer supernatural beings but aliens from the planet Zeist. Not even the presence of the ever-awesome Michael Ironside could save this turd of a film. Now, you might counter that the first "Highlander" wasn't all that great of a movie, so its sequel doesn't represent a huge fall from grace. And you'd be right. But even when it's just taken on its own terms, "The Quickening" is unadulterated shite. My friend and I almost walked out of the theater the day we watched it, but some weird completist impulse kept us in our seats to the bitter end.<br /><br />I have little memory of the specifics of "The Heretic," but I do have an emotional memory of its utter lameness, and of Richard Burton intoning "The flames!" at one point. And doesn't James Earl Jones fire a ball out of his mouth?Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
