The original. The Best. There can be only one!
He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.
Connor Macleod was born in 1518 in the Highlands of Scotland. In 1536, after facing a mysterious, evil opponent, he survives a fatal stab wound and is banished from his village, for they believe his survival is the work of the Devil. Five years later, Macleod is met by Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, a swordsman who teaches Macleod the awful truth; he is immortal, one of a race of many who can only die when the head is cut from the body. When one immortal takes the head of another, the loser's power is absorbed into the winner. Ramirez teaches Macleod the ways of the sword, until Ramirez is tragically killed by Connor's ultimate opponent, the evil Kurgan, a murderous immortal brute who lusts for the ultimate power of the immortals, "The Prize"; enough power to rule the earth forever. Connor fights his way through the centuries, until the time of the Gathering, when the few immortals who have survived the endless battles come together to fight until only one remains, and that winner will receive The Prize. The time: 1985. The place: New York City. The final fight is about to begin, and in the end, there can be only one.

Highlander was a great film..wonderful characters..great concept...and the end...when MacLeod wins "the Prize"...that should have been it. It didn't need a sequel...as it clearly stood on it's own...It's still a wonderful film and will always be a favorite of mine..."Hey...it's a kind of MAGIC!"
The biggest problem with this movie is that it was set up for a sequel, and then make a sequel that didn't play by the rules of the original. It's okay, like Fast and Furious 2, to be different from the original, but a sequel must inhabit the same planet. Highlander was great, but it held back for a sequel that was ridiculous.

The sequels were fabrications based not on the first movie's plot, but on the desire to ride on its coattails.
