Highlander 2 is one of those movies that finds new and increasingly more psychedelic ways to be even more terrible and stupid with each viewing. It feels like 50 different movies ideas mashed into one screenplay and played straight.
- Highlander: The Source
- Highlander II: The Quickening
- Highlander III: The Sorcerer
- Highlander: Endgame
- Highlander
Not only is Highlander: The Source the worst of the saga, it's a solid contender for one of the worst movies of the 2000s. The fifth - and to date, final - entry saw Adrian Paul's Duncan leading a band of immortals on a quest for the source of immortality itself; they are also stalked by its nigh unkillable Guardian. Despite a genuinely intriguing ...
If nothing else, The Source managed the impressive feat of making Highlander II: The Quickening only the second-worst Highlander - which Henry Cavill is remaking - outing. There's so much wrong with this sequel it's difficult to catalog it all, but its biggest mistake is grossly retconning the original to explain that immortals are really aliens fr...
Highlander III: The Sorcerer was an early example of a franchise ignoring a badly received sequel, with the film acting as an alternate follow-up to the original. Unfortunately, this amounts to being a cheaper, less stylish remake. The story sees Connor - who cameoed on Highlander: The Series - having to face off with Mario Van Peebles' Kane, an im...
Highlander: Endgame was billed as something of an event, as it was a crossover between the movie and TV series. Connor teamed with Paul's Duncan to take on Kell, an old nemesis of Connor's who is the most powerful immortal alive. Endgame is another mess that goes heavy on franchise lore, while Lambert - who starred in chess slasher Knight Moves - f...
There was only one choice for the top spot. Highlander is a movie that probably shouldn't work, and its MTV aesthetic making it very dated now. Somehow, it all works, from Mulcahy's wild camerawork, Lambert and Connery's soulful performances, the awesome soundtrack and the energetic action. Highlanderhas remained a beloved cult film for a reason, a...

So in the realm of film, you end up with people making either ignoring the central conceit of the franchise in favor of some weird tangent (Highlander: The Quickening), saying that the main character didn't actually kill all the bad guys based on a technicality (Highlander 3) or just completely ignoring previous movies as though they were no longer canon (All the Highlander stuff with Duncan.)
- Highlander (1986) The original "Highlander" is largely considered the absolute best of the franchise, and for good reason. The film follows the thrillingly tragic story of the immortal wanderer Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert), as we learn all about his past as a Scottish Highlander, his journey to becoming the greatest of the Immortals, and about the Game itself — the centuries-long battle between Immortals where only one will survive and attain "the Prize," a "Quickening" that gives the winner the power of all the Immortals.
- Highlander: III: The Sorcerer/The Final Dimension (1995) No, you didn't read that wrong — the next "Highlander" film you need to watch after the original is 1994's third entry, "Highlander III: The Sorcerer," which was more widely known as "Highlander: The Final Dimension."
- Highlander: The Series (1992-1998) "Highlander: The Series" sparked the initial debate among "Highlander" fans as to whether they preferred Connor MacLeod or his clansman and apprentice Duncan MacLeod (played by Adrian Paul), which feels vaguely similar to the classic "Star Trek" debate over Captains Kirk or Picard.
- Highlander: The Raven (1998-1999) The direct sequel/spin-off to "Highlander: The Series" is a bit less loved than its predecessor. Following Duncan MacLeod's on-again/off-again Immortal girlfriend and thief Amanda Darieux (played once again by Elizabeth Gracen), the series sets her on a path of redemption alongside ex-cop Nick Wolfe (Paul Johansson) who helps her on her quest.
Oct 5, 2000 · Like the original movie, this one conveys the sheer weight of years on the back of the immortal MacLeod, and the almost elemental battles between right and wrong happening alongside trivial mortal ...
The third film in the saga of Connor MacLeod, The Final Dimension, also known as Highlander III: The Sorcerer, Highlander III: The Magician, or Highlander 3: The Final Conflict, pits the Highlander against three Immortals who were removed from the effects of The Gathering during the 1985 original film. This sequel ignores the events of Highlander II: The Quickening and take place in an other ...
