Topics
Paul Scheer: 我讨厌这部电影的一切，它毫无意义，情节混乱，角色行为荒谬，甚至连肖恩·康纳利都无法拯救这部电影。 June Diane Raphael: 这部电影让我感到沮丧、愤怒和叫喊，我完全不理解，也不想理解。 Sam Richardson: 我也觉得这部电影很难理解，我大部分时间都不明白发生了什么，剪辑顺序可能不对，而且迈克尔·艾恩赛德似乎无处不在。 Jason Manzoukas: 我对这部电影有很多想说的，比如为什么不能有豪猪发型。 制片人: 如果你没看过第一部《高地人》，你应该也能看懂并享受这部电影。 演员: 拍摄这部电影是一场彻底的噩梦，插头被拔掉了，我们真的认为，等等，我们拍完电影了吗？ Roger Ebert: 《高地人2：加速》的情节是我经历过的最令人难以置信的经历之一。 观众: 这部电影很糟糕，情节混乱，毫无意义。 Paul Scheer: 这部电影把美好的历史冲进了厕所，只保留了砍头的部分。 June Diane Raphael: 这部电影中的女性角色都很疯狂，我特别喜欢那个逃跑的女人和飞机上的那个女人。 Sam Richardson: 我不明白为什么克里斯托弗·兰伯特变老了，为什么他总是在歌剧中睡着，为什么歌剧的口型对得这么差。 Jason Manzoukas: 高地人每天都做什么？他们只是想保住自己的头。 制片人: 续集的故事发生在第一部电影25年后，但它也是一个独立的故事。 演员: 保险公司只想完成电影。 Roger Ebert: 不朽者来自蔡斯星球，他们被困在自己的时间扭曲中，涉及到他们在500年前在苏格兰的经历，以及1999年和2025年的事件，还有卡特尔、臭氧层、神秘杀手和美丽的独立科学家。 观众: 我完全被这部电影的剧情搞糊涂了。

Chapters
The hosts and guest Sam Richardson begin their discussion of Highlander 2: The Quickening, immediately highlighting the film's nonsensical plot and the fact that none of them have seen the first Highlander movie. They discuss the differences between the theatrical cut and the Renegade cut, particularly concerning the planet Zeist and the film's overall lack of coherence.
  • The movie is incoherent and makes little sense even to fans of the original Highlander.
  • The Renegade cut removes references to the planet Zeist.
  • The hosts and guest discuss the confusion around the plot and the lack of understanding of the film's world-building.

Shownotes Transcript

Sam Richardson (Veep, Detroiters) joins Paul, June, and Jason to discuss 1991’s Highlander II: The Quickening. They’ll talk about why there’s no need to see the first Highlander movie, Sean Connery trying on a suit, Highlander sex in the streets, the psychic cooking show, and much more. Plus, we get to the bottom of where Sean Connery’s walking around money came from and what exactly is the difference between a Highlander and an immortal. (Originally Released 01/20/2017)
