Movie Connections:

Follows The Prophecy (1995)

Belongs on SciFi, but Jason Scott Lee was great

This film picks up exactly where "Prophecy: Uprising" left off. Given the fact that this film is only 1 hour 15 minutes, I'd be willing to place a bet that this was filmed originally with Uprising as one movie. Anyway, Kari Wuhrer now holds the Lexicon, a book that tells who the anti-Christ is and when the apocalypse will take place. Jason Scott Lee is the righteous cop sent by the seraph Stark (Tony "Candyman" Todd)to kill Wuhrer and retrieve the book. Naturally, he cannot do it and the two try to escape the wrath of Stark and his minions. Jon Light returns as Lucifer, who ironically aids the two heroes in their quest. I thought this film was better than "Uprising," but still not great. Casting Tony Todd was a great choice and I liked Lee's explanation of the celestial hierarchy, but I became ultimately confused with who's good and who's bad. Do you help Stark prevent Armageddon, which will result in humans remaining in wormy earth after they die yet save billions of lives? Do you help Lucifer bring about Armageddon, which will result in good people being reunited with God in Heaven yet end life on this planet as we know it? God seems to want it to happen as does Lucifer. I guess the majority rules. I don't know, you figure it out for yourselves.
