- No they definitly did not write the music for Highlander II
- The only piece of Queen is played from the jukebox in one scene.
- The film is Ok, but it does not tie in well with the first, which in my
- opinion, is the best by far.
- If you've seen the first, the second will not make much sense.
-
- And I agree, A kind of magic is awesome, one of the best albums.
-
- Shame they havent serialized the film overhere in England, does
- anybody know if it is likely?
