Goofs:

Plot holes: The opening period sequence predates the first Warlock (1989) period sequence by several hundred years, and the warlock's "birth" is thwarted and he is finally "born" in modern times, thus nullifying the events of the first Warlock movie.

Quotes:

Warlock: [first line of his resurrection] Won't you give your boy a kiss, Mommy?

Not quite the original, but almost as good.

Julian Sands again stands out as the evil oozing, soft spoken disciple/ son of Satan in this slightly less well done sequel to "Warlock." The problem is mostly one of a script that could have been a little more exciting and with a few more thrills. The level of gore just was not as necessary to the story line. Given all that it was still a very watchable film. I have noted one error in the listed credits. Charles Hallahan is listed as Ted Ellinson, the father of the female lead in the story. Actually that part was played by Bruce Glover(best known from "Diamonds are Forever.") Hallahan actually played Ethan Larson. The opening scene was somewhat confusing. SInce the Druids were supposed to stop the birth of the Warlock, why were they the ones at the birth, and who were the others that slaughtered most of them?
