vr_trakowskiI just watched Sands of Oblivion, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I've seen the theatrical version of Highlander II. *headshake* Just...wow. It cribs from the recent Mummy films in a huge way, including reusing at least one prop, and they manage to get through the entire thing without, IIRC, using the name Anubis despite two archeologists and the huge jackal-headed thing chasing them around. It is appallingly bad.
The reason it ended up on my list in the first place was because it has Morena Baccarin and Adam Baldwin. But even they can't save this thing. Their characters are married, but if you're expecting a liplock, forget it. I'm no archeologist but I could see the mistakes, and the haircut on the sheriff is...well, I've never seen anything quite like that. The survivalist has his moments if you can get through the first few minutes of him, but how many shots of someone changing gear on a dune buggy does one film need?
If you do choose to watch it (for laughs, I hope, or possibly Ms. Baccarin's legs) bear in mind that there are several deaths worthy of a blatant B-grade horror film. Obviously fake, but it can still be alarming to see someone decapitated by a bucket loader even if you know it's coming.
