The true Highlander is Connor Macleod Period. I did not like how movie ended in endgame no way Duncan would win in a true battle of immortals plus the storyline stated Connor won the prize when he beat Kurgan then became a mortal after that.
i love the Highlander series,but the source for me at least was a really short,sloppy ending to a great series:/ they should have had more episodes and movies with both Connor and Duncan
I am wondering if someone can answer a question for me. Just this week, I watched this movie again on Showtime. At the end, this scene between Duncan and his former wife was deleted; the viewer is left thinking she is dead. Instead, the movie ends with Duncan standing at Connor's grave. I had remembered this scene between Duncan and Faith when the movie was first released.
When was the ending changed and why was it changed? Does anybody know?
Interesting ending but Endgame was an epic fail, mainly because they killed off Conner. Why they just didn't have him and Duncan team up for the final fight is beyond me, especially when they knew this wouldn't be the last movie/tv show in the Highlander series. I'm still waiting for the new game for the 360 that they keep delaying and pushing back further.
My guess is, that Christopher was somehow growing too old for the franchise, remember imortals do not age, but poor Connor has clearly grown old between the highlander movie and the endgame rip off.
But don't worry they managed to kill of the franchise with that source bullshit anyway.
Whoever Eric was, I'm certain he loved this tribute. Dante's Prayer is a song with haunting beauty not unlike Bonny Portmore which has become the unofficial themesong for Highlander. Too bad this song wasn't included as well.
salut je suis fan d'highlander je voudré savoir sur quel chéne je pouré trouvé highlander the raven pour que je puis voir ce spin-off de highlander d'avence merci
The serious was excellent. It was well acted. The stories were short moral tales of ethics, right vs. wrong, and the meaning of life. Philosophically it resembled a weekly western, perhaps The Rifleman more than others. It asked interesting questions. Does life mean more or less if it is infinite? It explored the plight of the "Immortal" better than most such fiction. Eventually, in my eyes, Duncan became The Highlander, with a rich mythology. The original movie remains a camp classic.
The series was awful. The first film as a stand alone is what counted most and was a classic. Anyone with sense realises that. The fact they're remaking original film itself is a poor joke. Originality is rare in Hollywood or US anymore.
what happened to the Bonny portmore song at the end?? that's the only reason I wanted to watch this ending cause that song made it a lot more romantic and sentimental.
Oh I forgot you must bring back the Kurgan and get Clancy Brown, not Michael Ironside or Mario Van Peebles doing their bad impression of him under another characters name.
I believe its time to remake the whole story, start fresh with new people, new characters, drop the aliens, magic, and stick to the flavor of the first film, but with the prize way off, say a hundred or so immortals left and for god sake no new ones.(Richie) Adrian Paul was ok but the stories in the series were crap, 10% of them watchable the rest tripe. Let us begin afresh, young actors who can play immortals for 5-6 films without looking ancient.
all the sequels broke canon... at the end of the first film he won the prize. these sequels of new immortals popping up is really running the series through a meat grinder.. getting as much scrap to milk money off.. its shameful. I'll keep my fond memories of the original thank you
What is wrong with you people I have many friends that prefer Adrian Paul, the first Highlander movie wasnt bad, and they went down hill very quickly after that, Adrian Paul was the only saving factor in "End Game"
Duncan killed two out of the 4 oldest immortals back to back, he has defeated a demon god. I liked Connor alot but if you watch the series Connor is not even in the same league as Duncan.
it's true that it look's like duncan is tougher than conner but let's face it we only saw conner in like what 4 movie's only , the only reason duncan look's tougher couz he's in a searis so u get to see him fight alot of ppl (immortals) and thing's so if they made a highlander searis which stars connor u would think alot defrint ;),
True, I mean the story of the first film is basicly ALL immortals are DYING. He wins the prize meaning hes the last immortal alive. This Duncan person does not fit in with canon.
actually it was to see who they would choose.. Duncan or Connor. besides, Connor had 3 films.. it was time after holding down the many seasons of Highlander for Duncan to take over the reigns, as cool as Christopher Lambert is!
That is true, but with Christopher Lambert coming in years it was logical that someone else would have to take the rains like you said. Besides Duncan aka Adrian Paul was kick ass and it looked like he deserved the job
I thought that Adrian Paul as Duncan was a good match, since it also protrayed the training and the realization that to beat the biggest threat to both of them. One would have to go and it would take the both together to finish him off. Besides Connor will always be in our hearts as the original and Duncan wont forget it as he was a true friend and clansman to him
i have heard that just like Batman was given a new start in Batman Begin, Highlander too will be given one and this time make all the piece hold together!Can't wait and perhaps another immortal beside Connor Mcleod.
but ya anyway I liked this one but I didnt like how there was no Queen music in it, like all the rest had all Queen music, it just didnt seem right no music by Queen, no Who Wants To Live Forever when Connor died I thought they would play there classic Who Wants To Live Forever everytime someone dies, lets hope the next one has Queen music thats the only thing I didnt like about the movie
I would prefer the princes of the universe to who wants to live forever, as that's more of a love song.. and is more towards the love story of the other 3 Highlander films. ;) It's a shame Queen aint still all here..
I liked the movie, oh by the way theres another one coming out :D yay and the next one is gonna be directed by the guy who directed the first one double yay
I liked the movie endgame but it went against the series story line. In the episode that tessa died it said that macleod had never been married in his lifetime, but in endgame shows that he was married to kate aka. faith, so one of them has to be wrong.
Who is Eric Heinemann? He has to be a character and not someone involved in the making of highlander. He was only 25 when he died. I smell BS somewhere.
No, he's not in the movie. Richie sort of goes away during the TV series. I don't want to give away the reason he leaves in case you plan on watching the whole series some day.
oh no I know that he gets his head taken my Duncan on accident because he thought he was that shapeshifting demon....what i was asking was there any sort of reference to him at...its been awhile since i watched this movie
i've collected all of the highlander films and tv series, and let me tell you, the series is very well done, complete with flashbacks in every episode of it. not to mention a lot of good hero and villian immortals. to put it simple in my own words, don't diss a series unless you've watched a few episodes of it!
the first one was great i loved it, but then it got so lame the quickening sucked final dimension was pretty bad the series was good though endgame was ok dont like connor mclaeod dying made me sad
Nice video, I just have a few questions. One is, did you make this or is this a real ending? And also, who is Eric Heinemann? Thanks, really nice video.
nunca me cansare de ver a duncan ojaja pudieran hacer una nueva temporada de la serie.Creo que no deberia haber muerto ninguno de los mac cleods. La musica me facsina. De este video me da envidia el beso,saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay, hasta pronto
I have no idea in hell how this could be considered "The property of" anyone. All you did was steal it, fuck up the audio, and then post it. Property of......
um...do you have the version where Kell played by the awesome Bruce Payne was a wizard...cause there is suppose to be a scene where Ducan & Connor go after him and his body spilts into.
I could be wrong but I heard that the wizard storyline was just a marketing ploy they used on the trailer to con people into going to see it. Illegal in some countries but looks like they got away with it.
oh i hope you are lying...cause that ploy is the other reason why besides(Christopher Lambert, Adrian Paul & Bruce Payne that i rented the movie) and was very disappointed when i didn't see the wizard storyline
Those scenes only existed in the trailers. They were never a part of the script, or had anything to do with the movie. Dimension films, in their infinite wisdom, decided to film a bunch of extra "fantasy" scenes for the trailers to try and get the young male demographic in the seats.
Connor and Duncan Mcleod are different characters. they are in the same clan, but they are different individuals. Duncan ends up killing Connor in this movie (hence, there can only be one.)
neither of them can kill the opponent in a duel, so one had to overcome the other, absorbing his powers, and facing the opponent. and, ofcourse, Duncan chops the head of the bastard. Duncan's the last immortal. Connor is dead.
can anyone please tell me the real song that goes to it im trying to find it its really pretty, its the song thats at the end of the movie.. im tyring to find it so i can put it on my myspace i like the video very well done... thanks roses
OMG i can`t believe there is a person in this world that can even think like you... go ahead ask ANY true Highlander fan about their opinion on Adrian Paul that guy can`t even act, he absolutely ruined this movie that should have been one of the best if ot THE best of the series, i don`t even understand how he wasn`t the one diying instead of Lambert.There is no HIGHLANDER without Connor, just a lame spin-off with a lame and btw CHEAP actor...
I know u wrote this comment 2 years ago so u may not read this..... you must be out of your MIND! Adrian Paul absolutely filled Christopher's shoes. Lambert couldn't hold a candle where Martial arts and SWORD play are concerned!!! end of discussion.
