Ever since I saw Highlander 2 (even though it is considered crap by many of the franchises fans I still like to watch it whenever I'm in the mood) one of the things that always stuck out of the film was the ending credits song "One Dream" by Lou Gramm. Does anyone else find this song as entertaining as I did?

Love it; it's the only song in the movie that even comes close to rivaling the Queen songs from the first film. There's a nice Youtube video that uses it.

You're gonna need a bigger thread.
Totally awesome. Best thing about the movie hands down. Too bad for the movie when the best thing about it is the end credits song, even though it's quite a good song on its own.
shareabsolutely loved the song, Lou Gramm rules!! foreinger has never been the same. I actually loved the music for all three original Highlander films. The "God took a picture" In 3 was good too! I do prefer the Director's cut of 2 though, it still doesn't make any sense, but it's less insulting.
shareI love it. It's actually one of my favorite songs of all time and the lrics mean a lot to me: I've got one dream that keeps me hanging on, one dream over and over, one dream that love will find a way. It may not have come from a great movie but still... I still like Highlander II and the director's cut is way better than the theatrical version. The Lionsgate 2-Disc release is by far the best version to have. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!

Bought the whole soundtrack just to get it. True story. Still love the song.
shareIt's a shame Queen didn't do any songs for Highlander II. Some songs the late Freddy Mercury did with Queen before his passing that year in 1991 would had been good for the Highlander films like "Innuendo" and "The Show Must Go On". "Innuendo" is a awesome song, good lyrics.
shareYeah, Queen's music gave the first one a great rock opera vibe. As for "One Dream", I'd forgotten all about it until I re-watched Highlander II today. The few "Pop songs" in the film were awful, and I doubted there would be anything worthwhile in the end credits, but I stuck around rather than hitting stop, which my thumb had been poised to do since about five minutes into this cinematic bowel movement. When "One dream" kicked in I was like "Yeah. Yeah!". A pleasant surprise whose discovery made watching the film worth it.
"The name's Rowsdower. Zap Rowsdower."
Love that song! Best thing about Highlander 2.
