Those irrepressible Immortals are at it again with swords and heads held high and set for a spectacular action-packed journey across time in Highlander 3: The Sorcerer. Original stalwart and master of the broadsword Connor McLeod (Christopher Lambert) returns to defend his name and honour, destined for a decisive battle against the malevolent and bloodthirsty Kane (Mario Van Peebles). With the expert guidance of enigmatic Japanese sorcerer Nakano (Mako) McLeod develops his survival skills in preparation for the most challenging fight of his long life and in the process traps his formidable opponent Kane in a collapsing cave. Many years later archaeologist Alex Johnson (Deborah Unger) delves into the ancient cave and unleashes a force of evil determined to exact vengeance on immortal foe McLeod and wreak havoc on an otherwise unsuspecting world.

Christopher Lambert needed to pay the rent one year in advance again. If I knew what would come of it, I'd pay it for him out of my own pocket.

The Sorcerer is definitely not one of Highlander's worst films. Deborah Kara Unger and Mario Van Peebles were never able to act decently, but knowing the imbalance of the entire film series, it's not that bad of an experience. As usual, the flashbacks are one of the better aspects.

This really doesn't have anything to captivate with. It's just a retread of some of the scenes from the first film, with a story that tries to put them together in a slightly different way. The flashbacks are terrible, the effects are terrible, the acting is standard, but I wasn't really blown away by the otherwise quite nice sex scene. The villain is fine, but there's just nothing here to really justify a sequel.
