Third entry in the Highlander series, but set between the first and second films. Following the death of his first wife, Heather, Immortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) headed to feudal Japan in search of the sorcerer Nakano. However, Mac Leod was followed by fellow immortal Kane (Mario Van Peebles), who slew Nakano before becoming accidentally entombed in a collapsed mountain. Now the year is 1994, and Kane has gained his freedom. Determined to become the last of the Immortals, he sets out to track down and kill his only remaining rival. (Entertainment in Video)

Christopher Lambert needed to pay the rent one year in advance again. If I knew what would come of it, I'd pay it for him out of my own pocket.

The Sorcerer is definitely not one of Highlander's worst films. Deborah Kara Unger and Mario Van Peebles were never able to act decently, but knowing the imbalance of the entire film series, it's not that bad of an experience. As usual, the flashbacks are one of the better aspects.

This really doesn't have anything to captivate with. It's just a retread of some of the scenes from the first film, with a story that tries to put them together in a slightly different way. The flashbacks are terrible, the effects are terrible, the acting is standard, but I wasn't really blown away by the otherwise quite nice sex scene. The villain is fine, but there's just nothing here to really justify a sequel.
