After the death of Heather, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) wanders through the world and goes to Japan to meet Nakano (Mako) that is a powerful immortal that trains MacLeod. Meanwhile, the cruel warrior Kane (Mario Van Peebles) is hunting down MacLeod and reaches the cave where MacLeod and Nakano are. Nakano asks Connor to kill him to acquire his powers but MacLeod refuses. Kane arrives and kills Nakano, acquiring his sorcerer powers. Now Kane will hunt down MacLeod though the centuries with his acquired powers. In the present days, MacLeod stumbles upon the archaeologist Alex Johnson (Deborah Kara Unger) and soon they fall in love with each other. But Kane is hunting him down.

"Highlander III: The Sorcerer" is a poor third film of the franchize, but better than the second. Once again, the romance of Connor and Alex is ridiculous and only shows the magnificent body of Deborah Kara Unger that was probably looking for a job. But despite the boring storyline, it is watchable. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Highlander 3: O Feiticeiro" ("Highlander 3: The Sorcerer)

After his wife Heather's death, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) travels to Japan to train under sorcerer Nakano (Mako). Kane (Mario Van Peebles) and his henchmen arrives to defeat Nakano. Connor escapes when the Quickening collapses the cave trapping Kane. In the present day, archaeologists led by Dr. Alexandra Johnson (Deborah Kara Unger) excavates the cave. Kane and his men finally dig themselves out. Meanwhile, Connor is living with his adopted son. Brenda Wyatt is dead. Connor has to defeat Kane and his henchmen. Dr. Johnson finds a piece of MacLeod tartan in the cave which leads her to Connor. She looks like his lover Sarah Barrington who he knew in 18th century France.

It's a big improvement over the second movie. However, it leaves one feeling deja vu. The main story elements are essentially a repeat of the original. The new bad guy does have morphing capabilities but everything else feels inferior. It's bad enough that they recycled the old script. The execution is sadly inferior.

Connor McLeod, the immortal highlander, seeks out an immortal master of illusion in order to learn the magician's art.

He is unknowingly followed by an evil immortal, Kane, who want Connor's head. They fight and Connor gets away while Kane is trapped in a cave.

Now in the present Connor's peace is destroyed once again as the evil Kane is released from his imprisonment and the struggle of the Gathering begins again.

Using Connor's loved ones and his acquired powers of illusion, Kane lures Connor in for a fight where there can be only one winner.....

So according to this movie, the second one didn't exist, and Connor is back on his own, and for some reason he has a son.

I can't see why they ignored the second one, at least that has a talking point, and gets people irked for on reason or the other. This on the other hand is boring, and Peebles is so camp and over the top, he ruins the whole film.

Lambert looks bored and misses Connery, and Unger, just does a diluted version of Madsen in part 2.

I remember the poster for this in the UK 'Dazzling Special Effects' say Empire. I respect that magazine a lot, but whoa, we're they wrong with this. Even for 1994, they are the pits, Super Nintendo looked better than this.

With this and the second one (which is gold compared to this)' this has to be one of the worst franchises ever made.

It's ripe for a remake, and I hate remakes.
