HIGHLANDER III (1994) - The Black Sheep
Views
Highlander II: The Quickening may be one the biggest WTF sequels ever put to film. After the first entry gained legendary status thanks to VHS and the booming home video market, a sequel was guaranteed. But after the second entry bombed, it became a punching bag for critics, fans, and it seemed like the end was nigh.
In 1994 Andrew Morahan stepped into the director's chair with the hope of giving fans the sequel they always deserved. Highlander III: The Final Dimension retconned Highlander II and tried to do right by the audience. Did Morahan succeed? Yes, and no. Part 3 is the closest we got to a good sequel, even if it proves that you can't catch lightning in a bottle twice. For this episode of The Black Sheep, we give some love to the underrated Highlander III: The Sorcerer aka Highlander III, aka aka Highlander III: The Final Dimension.
