If you loved Highlander, try Highlander II: The Quickening

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Highlander II: The Quickening has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than Highlander — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Russell Mulcahy, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Highlander, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Highlander II: The Quickening is

Aged wooden canes, a hospital room, beeping machines. An old man recalls a past life on a distant planet, a relentless enemy closing in. This sequel is best watched after midnight.
