[QUOTE="Viking Bastard, post: 842440, member: 509"] The first movie ended with Connor killing the bad guy and winning the prize. He and the love interest then drove into the sunset. We were never told exactly [i]what[/i] the prize was, but Connor hinted at that it was somekinda'infinite wisdom' or something. In the second movie we jump ahead into a cyberpunk future where the ozon layer has pretty much vanished, roasting the earth and killing half the population including Connor's wife (from the first film). Connor uses his 'infinite wisdom' thingyand builds a force field around the world to work as a ozon layer. It works, but the world is shrouded in eternal darkness. Oh and it turns out that Immortals are criminals from the planet Zeist. As more aliens come to earth, Connor looses the prize and "re-quickens". Killing the aliens, he rewins the prize. End of movie. Highlander the Series and Highlander: Raven. The series work ok, except they ignore the second movie and the fact that Connor won the prize in the first film. Haven't seen much of it. Highlander III ignores the ending of the first movie, the second movie and the series. It was meant as a kind of a 'redemption' over the second film. So he got married to the chick in the first movie and had a son (adopted). Connor hasn't encountered an other immortal for years but then an old enemy (Mario van Peeples) from his pastreturns after being locked inside some vault for centuries. They fight, Connor does some beheading and he wins the prize... again. What it was exactly, we don't know. You could always say that this movie simply takes place [i]after[/i] the series ends it's run and is that way in continuity. Highlander: Endgame. Follows the continuity of the series and ignores the other movies completely. Duncan does a lot of beheadings, including of Connor, but is yet to win the prize. Yay! At least it's an open ending for a change! *Sigh* How are you gonna make sense of that? Easy, through years of training from reading comics (especially 90s X-Men) and watching Star Trek (especially VOY) I give you the timeline paradox theory. The movies/series/whatever all take place in different paralell universes in hypertime. Here's how it makes some sense: . This whole mess creates at least five different timelines. [b]Timeline A[/b] Connor fights Clancy Brown (the last other immortal) and wins the prize. The End. [i][u]What to watch?[/u] Just 'Highlander'.[/i] [b]Timeline B[/b] Connor fights Clancy Brown (the last other immortal) and wins the prize. He then ages and saves the world from being roasted using the wisdom the prize gives him. Turns out he's an alien. More aliens arrive, he re-quickens, kills them all and rewins the prize, gets a new girlfriend and return to his planet with her. The End. [I][u]What to watch?[/u] 'Highlander' and 'Highlander II'.[/i] [b]Timeline C[/b] Connor fights Clancy Brown (the second last other immortal alive) and wins, but does not win the prize. He gets married and adopts a son. The last other immortal returns and fights Connor. Connor beheads him and wins the prize. The End. [i][u]What to Watch?[/u] 'Highlander' (minus the ending) and 'Highlander III'.[/i] [b]Timeline D[/b] Connor fights Clancy Brown (one of many immortals still alive) and wins, but does not win the prize. He gets married and has a son. We meet Duncan and others and sometime after the series ends, Duncan gets killed. Then the last other immortal except for Connor returns and fights Connor. Connor beheads him and wins the prize. The End. [i][u]What to Watch?[/u] 'Highlander' (minus the ending), 'Highlander the Series', 'Highlander: Raven' and 'Highlander III' (takes place after the two series).[/i] [b]Timeline E[/b] Connor fights Clancy Brown (one of many immortals still alive) and wins, but does not win the prize. We meet Duncan and others. Connor freaks out and gets Duncan to kill him. Duncan then goes on to kill that Endgame bad guy. To Be Continued. [i][u]What to Watch?[/u] 'Highlander' (minus the ending), 'Highlander the Series', 'Highlander: Raven' and 'Highlander: Endgame'.[/i] . And this doesn't even take into effect the animated series.
