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.
They should have applied this legendary motto to the franchise itself. Even the original film is not a masterpiece of cinema and, except for the fact that it has acquired a cult status, nothing elevates it above average. The second is even weaker than the first, but at least it's fun. The third is so disgraceful that I can't believe that Christopher Lambert has agreed to star in it. Even if he was bound by a continuation contract, I think any court would grant him a unilateral termination after reading this scenario. And I wish it was just a screenplay that was bad. Aside from acting, which for the most part is decent, the film is pathetic in almost every aspect, technical and essential. I was most bothered by the tempo that leaves the impression of watching a movie trailer or a music video, as well as music that, while not bad in itself, is totally inadequate. Although, this is not a surprise if you know that this was the director's movie debut and that he directed only music videos before it. And the final clash is almost copied from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991).4/10
