The european version features a different voice and extra lines for the judges, more closer to the original script. Taken from the 'Extended Zeist Edition'.
In according with the original script;-) "If I win the prize I'll be back!!" A third real chapter totally placed on Zeist was the original idea of the producers and writers I guess.
This is the original I saw written from Blockbuster in the late mid 90s! 😂 Until this moment I thought I made it up everywhere for it so thanks I wasn't crazy
HIGHLANDER II is one of my guilty pleasures. We know about the various problems and inconsistencies in this sequence, but I can see some positive points. The film has a dystopian science fiction atmosphere that I think is fantastic. The whole issue of the destruction of the ozone layer, the creation of that protective shield for the planet and the decadent, stagnant society, living in terrible conditions under that red "sky"... I think it's very good! The problem was that they mixed this great plot with all the fantasy of immortal warriors! And on top of that presenting them as aliens! The plot could follow in a similar way, with an eco-terrorist group contacting one of the scientists who created the shield. And they discovered that the ozone layer had already been restored. And so, organizing an attack on the corporation that controlled the shield.
"Planet Zeist"... Funny shit man... I used to live in a place in The Netherlands called "Zeist"... 😎👉 And funny & interestingly enuff, for the TRUE Dutch people out there whom are fans of Het Nederlandse Voetbalelftal... De Thuisbasis/Trainingskamp van Oranje is óók in Zeist... Maar da's logisch én vanzelfsprekend! 😎😁💪🦁🇳🇱⚔️
u know we live kinda in prequel of that movie now no? i mean in how it might start when later on the line they take our blue sky completely away from us one day and replace it with ugly
As shitty as the movie was, I somewhat regret there wasn't a novelisation that delved into Zeistian lore. I mean, the prop department clearly wanted to flesh out the world. I notice for instance that Katana has a cuttlefish-like pin on his uniform, and close up shots of his sword show some celtic motifs.
