Sean Connery: Highlander and the Last Crusade

Two clips from the two films in which Sean utters a pair of strangely similar lines about evil forces conquering the world, made all the weirder because they're both '80s movies.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Highlander and The Last Crusade are two of my favourite flicks ever, so it was inevitable that I'd notice something like this eventually. The fact that Sean has a major role in both is probably just another part of the conspiracy.

As a bonus, the Last Crusade bit has an opportunity for an incredibly obvious Army of Darkness joke, but I resisted the temptation to do something with it. For now, anyway.

EDIT - It's come to my attention that in the final scene of Last Crusade, Sean mentions how Elsa "thought she'd found a prize". The evidence is mounting!

ANOTHER EDIT: As a wise commenter has pointed out, both films also deal with the topic of immortality. I think you'd be hard-pressed to call all this a coincidence.

Highlander and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are the property of their respective owners, as are their soundtracks. I made no claims to own them.

And both deal with immortality.

@Premonition45 O_O That honestly hadn't occurred to me, despite being stupidly obvious. THE PLOT THICKENS

There can be only one, and that one is named Indiana Jones.
