And Duncan doesnРІР‚в„ўt think to check this out? What the hell, man? I mean, I know youРІР‚в„ўve got Tessa waiting for you, but at the same time IРІР‚в„ўm not even sure she really existed thanks to this filmРІР‚в„ўs fucked-uppedness. Duncan flies to New York from across the country, talks to Connor briefly, says heРІР‚в„ўll meet Connor later, and then Connor doesnРІР‚в„ўt show. I guess that whole thing with Connor showing up to fight Slan Quince, the event that got Duncan back into the Game and introduced Richie Ryan, was all just a dream.

For most of this discussion, IРІР‚в„ўm going with the DVD release that added in extra footage, because like all Highlander films, the theatrical release had major chunks cut out of it that helped make the movie make even less sense.Р”В«ack to the story, though, this turns out to be the last time Duncan saw Connor. This establishing scene didnРІР‚в„ўt occur in the theatrical release and was instead relegated to backstory. How do they get people to this sanctuary? Do they put out flyers in some immortal newsletter or something? The Watchers are a secret society that immortals generally donРІР‚в„ўt know about.

Moreover, the place turns out to be run by Watchers. Why does Connor, a guy who has seen his share of death over the years, go over the bend at the loss of Rachel? How does he know the sanctuary exists? Duncan doesnРІР‚в„ўt know about it until Methos tells him later.

So this movie, in a ham-fisted attempt to connect the original film and the TV series, has just invalidated both of them.Р”В¬onnor heading to the sanctuary raises a bunch of questions. As in, the pilot episode of the series, which focused heavily on the interactions between Duncan and Connor and specifically took place in 1992, now no longer happened. As in, Connor went there in 1990 and doesnРІР‚в„ўt come out until 2000. We can't have any of that in this film.Р”Р„nyway, because Connor canРІР‚в„ўt stand the loss of Rachel (even though he already parted ways with her five years earlier), he goes to a special sanctuary for immortals that puts him in a drug-induced coma for the next decade so he no longer has to deal with the pain of his loved ones dying. ItРІР‚в„ўs blown my mind already, but not in a good way. Now this film is trying to connect two completely separate continuities that do not work together.

Aside from that, the series only used the movie as backstory in very broad strokes. All we knew was that Connor existed, he was trained by Ramirez, and he had killed the Kurgan. Connor being in the seriesРІР‚в„ў continuity worked in the pilot episode, where the details of the first movie were never discussed. What the hell movie? I mean, I know Highlander: The Series had a nasty habit of killing characters off in stupid anticlimactic ways, but why do we need to bring Rachel back only to kill her? And why is Connor even going to see her, since he left with Brenda Wyatt for Scotland back at the end of the first movie? For that matter, how are you even going to connect the movie and the series when the whole point of the ending of the movie was that Connor was going to grow old and die with Brenda? Had Connor still been immortal as in the TV show, he wouldnРІР‚в„ўt have gotten close to Brenda. What is he doing back in New York? What the fuck? If youРІР‚в„ўre trying to fix continuity issues, why are you introducing major holes in continuity in the first five minutes?Р”Р„nd then to compound my confusion, we get to see lovely Rachel, a wonderful character who filled a nice role in Highlander and hasnРІР‚в„ўt been seen since. He left everything to Rachel, said his goodbyes, and left in a lovely and touching scene. What the hell is going on? Are we following the movie continuity or not? It was pretty damned clear at the end of the first movie that Connor had abandoned his Russell Nash identity because Russel Nash was wanted for multiple counts of murder. Connor then goes to his antique shop, which he gave to Rachel Ellenstein at the end of Highlander. See, Connor called Duncan to New York, then goes and blows him off. That means, as we will soon see, that a key part of the TV series never fucking happened. That means that it occurred two years prior to the start of the TV series. That means this opening takes place in 1990. We open up in New York, РІР‚Сљ10 years ago.РІР‚Сњ 10 years ago.

The studio was full of lying interfering assholes, but at least some of the folks on the creative side here wanted to make a good Highlander film.

The opening, as well as several other minor points in the film, demonstrate that someone wanted to make a good movie here.
