Is it an improvement over the theatrical release.Iread somewhere that the renegade version disregards all of the alien garbage.

Its slightly different, has better effects. And includes some new parts. but in a word, no.
sharean improvement? yes. but it doesnt make it a good movie.
in the Renegade Version a lot of cut scenes are put back in,the sequence of scenes is restored to their proper order,and the planet Zeist is simply retitled THE DISTANT PAST. so it doesnt do anything to fix the plotholes its created. but it goes over a little better than it did before.
the Special Edition is the same thing but it takes out one scene and it has completely redone visual effects. so it looks pretty and makes the film seem a bit more like what it should have looked like back in the day. so its a better looking movie but still the same awful movie.
id recommend checking it out just to see more or less what the movie was always intended to be.
Depends on your liking of bad movies. Still has some lame story problems, but I can't compare the two versions. But the "RENEGADE EDITION" is a pretty entertaining film. Some nice action scenes, Michael Ironside as the villain, and both Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery return. Not as good as the original of course, but better than ENDGAME. I have yet to see 3 or 5, or the animated film.

Very entertaining movie.
Way better than the other sequels.

The only reason his wound healed was because of Corda and Reno being sent to Earth to kill off MacLeod. Hence why MacLeod went "Oh no" when he noticed the cut on his hand healing, it alerted him that more people from Zeist had been sent to take him out. Katana had only one point to make and that was to see MacLeod, his greatest threat on Zeist, dead and he would rather have it done by his doing than wait it out.

Zeist or distant past, neither is better than the other. If anything shoe-horning the distant past angle introduces more issues (high tech firearms for one thing) than the sloppily shortened Zeist angle of the theatrical cut does.

Exiling warriors to the future where they some how become immortal is kind of stupid thing to do. Zeist thing isn't really any better, but like SUPERMAN, aliens tend to suspend me belief more.

Instead Connor and Ramirez are banished from some distant past as already highlighted by another user.
But apparently an Earth past before the events of Highlander, which still included the wreckage of a spaceship, guns and the ability instead to time travel to the future.
Quite frankly, I don't know which 'backstory' makes less sense?
Plus, it still included ridiculous plot holes such as why Katana actually sent his two goons to try and kill Connor when he was only weeks away from dying of old age and did not want to return? One of which even highlighted this issue, only to get slapped for demonstrating probably the one and only ounce of sense in any cut of Highlander 2.
