CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) forces Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul) to engage in a sword fight.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this fantasy adventure tale, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) and his kinsman Duncan (Adrian Paul) are "Immortals," members of a secret clan who can be killed only through decapitation. Connor and Duncan find themselves thrown into a tournament where Immortals both good and evil battle one another in a bid to become the last of their kind. Highlander: Endgame was the fourth feature film in the Highlander franchise, but its narrative draws from the storyline of the Highlander television series and ignores the events of the second and third films.

I remember seeing this as a depressed 16 year old, and the quote "Our bonds are all that holds us in this world, don't break this one" made such an impression on me i still come back to it 13+ years later, and it may have saved my life.
Glad I'm not the only one. It has saved me and a few others
Awesome possum! Hope you're doing well now!
Glad you're still around man. Powerful words brother. Live on!
I hope you are doing ok buddy I hope you feel much better soon 🙏☹ 🙏
A line from one of the worst movies ever made saved your life? That's pathetic.
Every power outage you have ever experienced has been the result of immortals fighting.
Guess the game is coming to an end as there have been less powercuts lately....
wow they must fight a lot in Eastern Europe
we must have a bunch of them down in Venezuela
In India they fight every day thousands of fights through out the country.
Lol love it 😆
I remember running into him at the airport where i worked and telling him how sad i was that Connor Macleod was no more, and his reply was " he's immortal he'll be back".
Imagine if he said "Hey, it's a kinda magic"
"Our bonds are all that hold is in this world." One of the best and realist quotes. "Dont break this one. "Please connor im begging you." Great acting skills. felt that
I do believe Connor could've won this fight, not easily
But Lambert conveyed just how tired Connor was, all the loss he has endured, that killing Duncan was not an option
He loved Duncan and just saw pure Duncan's soul was, a soul that was damn near impossible to corrupt
That if anyone would take his power and the mantle of highlander, who better than Duncan to carry the torch so that he could finally rest
Love this scene
R.I.P. Connor MacLeod, You were the OH (Original Highlander)!
😢😢 😭😭😭
nope there was another ........
WHen you realise he beat Kurgan, Katana and Kane both physically and mentaly cause they weren't able to kill him and he himself choose the moment of his death.
Agreed. Only one. Duncan carried the series but Connor will always be the original and best.
Kurgan was the original. R.I.P. Kurgan.
It's honestly both sad and beautiful how Conner's last thoughts were of his love.
First love please
Indeed.
I remember bawling my eyes out.
It's sad that this movie even exists
@@rictusmetallicus I think it's an ok movie.
@@ohlala26 second actually. His first wife Kate was involved with beating him out cause she thought Connor was possessed by Lucifer. Needless to say, his death nullified their marriage
Connor encountered a blacksmith and ended up marrying the blacksmith’s daughter-Heather.
"Every day, every breath we took was towards this end."
One of my favorite quotes
For the entire run of the tv series I assumed it was a prequel to the first Highlander film, and that Duncan would die at some point before the gathering. Always added a bit of bitter sweetness to Duncan's victories. This scene subsequently confused the hell out of me
Two different timelines, in fact Season 2 outright says Connor killed the Kurgan in the 80s. And while it was a fight of two of the more powerful immortals it was not the end of the Gathering but the beginning. Of course we think of the Gathering as like a maybe few day event where they all kill one another. It makes more sense that the Gathering is actually just all the immortals being narrowed down to relatively few and fighting over the course of years (Which to them might as well be days)
For example with Methos, do you think someone who lives 5,000 years views a single year in the same way we do? No a year to them is 1/5000 of their life. To me a year is 1/34th of my life to many of them a year or two is a long weekend. Amanda even mentions taking vacations that last decades like its a normal thing for them because to them time moves differently.
@@neerdowell6687 Ok, but in the movie Kurgan says they are the last 2, just after he kills the 3rd.
@mynameizmaineimis1880 yeah it makes no sense, it was retconned. Highlander concept has so much potential if it's rebooted properly
His sacrifice isn't in vain.
R.I.P Connor MacLeod.
1518 - 2000.
Agreed, he is with his love of his life Heather
@@UziDoesIt8818 not really if you think about it. His body might be with Heather, his soul, no doubt part of his Quickening is with Duncan. We even see Connor take control of Duncan in the final fight with Kell.
With the Gathering episode the events occurred in 1992. Afterwards Connor had to deal with losing his adopted daughter Rachel and he went into the sanctuary and lived there in depression for 10 years. Shouldn't his death be at 2002 if not afterwards. If the Sorcerer/Final Dimension is apart of the series and the events there occurred in 1995 then his death could occur at 2005.
That’s right. The Source was just Duncan’s nightmare
@@imhuntingwabbits5532 no, the source was our nightmare
When duncan is doing his best to hold back twars and barely gets out that "i love you connor" it kills me every time
Man no matter how many times or how much time has passed this always brings tears to my eyes. a true friendship and brotherhood.
Taking there fighting stances at the same time was so badass.
I think the beauty in this scene is that Connor was ready to pass the torch and also Connor knew that Duncan was the better man. I feel like from the very moment that Connor met Duncan that he knew that he was truly the one in the end. I feel like Connor was so broken from losing so many people over the years and how much that he weighed on his spirit. That he was at the point he was ready to go on and be with the ones he loss and to give Duncan a fighting chance by giving him his power. I feel like Duncan knew what had to be done but he was sad to lose his mentor, brother, friend, and just the last tether he had too his old life.
Yes sir, passing the torch is exactly right. At some point, the true must retire. That's the whole point of apprenticeship
@@_Thats_Right well said. Your exactly right.
@@Rickyralph Thank you. What other movies do you like?
@@_Thats_Right your welcome.
@@_Thats_Right 300,TMNT 90’s live action, BloodSport,The Quest,Blood & Bone,Malcolm X,Training Day,7even and Passion of the Christ.
Conner had lost everything and everyone. He wasn't gonna lose Duncan to Kell. And by Duncan killing Conner, he denied Kell his revenge.
Imagine having to kill your hero; the man who literally saved your life. I would be traumatized as hell.
*mthakore:* I would too. But if given the choice between: Killing my Hero, or saving the world... I'd make the sacrifice
could you explain why he needed to kill him, im not familiar with full story
In the movie, Connor is being tortured by Jacob Kell, an old friend of his that became his enemy and held a serious grudge against Connor. The way Jacob is doing that is by killing everyone that Connor loves throughout the ages (eventually this will include Duncan). The problems are, Jacob has killed more immortals than Connor and Duncan combined, and when an immortal kills another immortal, then all their abilities and skills, goes to the victor, thus statistically speaking, Jacob is way stronger than Connor. The next problem is Connor is still too guilt-ridden to face Jacob on his own due to being the cause of Jacob's first death which turned Jacob immortal, so even if he does duel him he wouldn't be in the right state of mind to defeat him. The last problem is that according to the rules, only two immortals can engage in a duel, meaning no "two-on-one" team ups. Therefore, in order for Connor to stop Jacob, he lets himself be killed by Duncan, who Jacob will come after sooner anyway, so that all his abilities, skills, and knowledge will transfer into Duncan, thus allowing Duncan to face Jacob with their combined might.
wow that makes sense, thanks for info, but wonder what would happen if it was two on one? some kind of lightning would hit one of them lol?
Well, I'm not really sure how that would work. I eventually got tire of this series and the only reason why I even watched this movie in the first place was because of the team up. Anyway, I only told you everything I know based on the information within the movie. As for who made the rules and why they are the way they are like the ONLY ONE-ON-ONE rule of dueling, I have no idea. I did ask myself those same questions and they were probably addressed in the series, but like I said, I'm not really into this nor am I curious enough to actually look them up. My joke guess for that situation, some voice in the sky, like the professor in the pokemon games would say "You can't do that here" to all three combatants and it would somehow magically keep them from dueling against each other. :P
This scene still breaks my heart...
Yeah. The utterly bad screen writing and the crappy visual effects make me cry too.
One of my favorite fantasy shows/movies. In the beginning, Duncan was the man to me, but the romance that Connor brings to it is undeniable.
Look at how Connor is fighting. Better trained and better skilled than Duncan and he just strikes like a madman. He didn't want to win, he let Duncan finally release him a more realistic way of ending Connor's story.
No way Duncan was way better then Connor he took his training seriously in the series and in real life Adrian Paul is an excellent swordsman
@@MMACHMP I also think Connor was stronger. We were simply given the chance to see Duncan fight and train more than Connor thanks to the show. And the story also needed Duncan to be the winner if not the strongest.
@@MMACHMP He wasn’t ‘way better’. Connor was Duncan’s mentor. Much like Ramirez was with Connor. In truth, Adrian Paul is better at sword choreography than Christopher Lambert but that’s mostly down to the fact that Lambert is almost blind without his glasses and Paul is a trained dancer and martial artist.
yep, that's how i read the situation as well
@@Highlander1518 Adrian Paul maybe is better but here this doesn't matter. We talking about Connor and Duncan not about Paul and Lambert. Connor is the strongest immortal , BUT this here is not Connor. Lambert plays different character here. Watch the original movie watch the series this isn't same Connor McLeod
Duncan gained 99999XP that day
And how much did he get from defeating Kell??
@Stefano Pavone not all.
Nope, that's only 59999XP.
Alysa Aiday it was so much xp it crashed the game
@Stefano Pavone I never understood how Kell was supposedly so powerful. Yeah, he'd killed a lot of immortals, but from what I understand, he'd killed baby immortals, tracking down newbies and taking their quickenings before they grew too powerful. Sure, he might have taken the heads of a few experienced ones afterwards, but alone, Duncan had taken the heads of some of the best and oldest to exist, some as old as Methos himself. Compared to that, Kell should never have even been a footnote.
Connor killed The Kurgan and won The Prize. Nothing that came after was real.
Agreed
godspeedelijah thank you for being intelligent. Seriously 90% of these commentators are retarded.
Very true indeed
Agreed.
Like they say, there can be only one film
THIS!!!
I'm a grown ass man!!! And I started crying!!! I cried like a bitch!!!
This scene really tugs at the old heart strings, but I understood why Connor did what he did. I think deep down inside he knew it was time for him to leave 'the Game'. I just hope that after this, he and Heather can be reunited.
Go Connor...reunite with Heather and live out your eternity in happiness and joy. Your journey is over and Duncan will now continue the Macleod clan's legacy. Rest assured...he will not let your sacrifice be in vain.
What about Brenda? I think he can be reunited with both,.
@@mrrictus True.
Well as the saying goes, “There can be only one.” So it was either him or Duncan.
@@kolbytriplett4644 Indeed. And given the heartache and grief Connor has had to endure in the franchise with the loved ones he's lost (especially with all the retconning the writers did), I think Connor was ready to put down his sword for good.
But where Connor stopped...Duncan will continue. He will have 'The Prize'...hopefully.
I remember watching this, and when they take their fighting poses at frame 00:49. You could hear the theater go silent with some members in the audience going, "This IS going down." Or, "Oh god no!" It wasn't bad to see for me just, it was like seeing two heroes as close as brothers fight to the death. Good emotional scene, but also a gut wrencher too.
There can be only one....😕😕😞😞😢😢😭😭
Just remember Connor is sittin at a pub with Ramirez and Heather havin a pint now watchin down on Duncan proudly. I was always an original Highlander fan and always will be but this was a fitting proper end to all the pain Connor went through that we shared with him. Be at peace. In the end there can be only one.
Brenda's there cause remember in Final Dimension she was dead
if this was the show or a different movie yes but in this one the loser dosent move on they become a part of the winner
Before Obi-Wan declared the high ground, this was the duel that cut me the deepest.
They were Family and Duncan wanted to break the rules. Allow both of them standing. But Connor knew that couldn’t happen and he knew Duncan was to be the last Immortal standing. When Richie died Duncan became lost. This was hard and that quote “Our bonds are all that holds us.” Connors eyes when he said “one of has to die.” And he smiled at his friend knowing what needed to be done.
I think Connor simply knew that even if he was the last immortal, he had nothing left in him to make any use of it. He was broken, he had loved and lost and nothing could bring back the light in his eyes from all the suffering. Even in all the movies, Connor was always just a man scraping by through the centuries like a mouse running from burrow to burrow. The passage of time was just something he was forced to endure. He may have not been evil, but he had no more connections to mortals, so being the last would have just been Connor living a meek life with no purpose, wasting "the prize". The only thing that made Connor special in the end was simply that he was immortal. Nothing else about him involved meaning or purpose or looking forward to anything. There was nothing new for him to explore, and no one to explore it for.
20 years later and it's still hard to hold the tears in 😢
For the most emotional moment in the film, that was a really short quickening...
Brought to you by JVC
😅😅😅😅😅
Dude they looked synced from 1:27-1:32 I guess that's how much they knew each other
Its the basic premise from the series and this movie's timeline that Connor found Duncan a few months maybe a year or two after he revived while duncan was living in the highlands as an outcast from his clan. He took him in, taught him how to fight as an immortal, and had been playing instructor off and on for centuries where he would learn something, meet with Duncan and teach him those techniques too.
Adrian Paul is actually a really good swordfighter, he knows how to use a sword in real life and holds classes. Christopher Lambert is not, and he is pretty much blind, which they kind of wrote into the storylines as Duncan being a naturally gifted fighter and one of the strongest immortals alive due to it. In the series Duncan kills a 2000 year old immortal that was hyped to be insanely powerful and experienced. Later when Dawson is with his Watcher friends they talk about that fight and how all of them assumed when this immortal challenged Duncan that he would die because this guy was that good and Duncan winning was a big sign of his true skill level.
So it makes perfect sense that they are matched so well.
Men usually do not speak of their true feelings, nor do they beg. Even though they both have centuries of experience, Duncan would always be the younger brother and his love for his older brother is quite plan to see.
Connor knew he had nothing left to live for. That's why he wanted Duncan to take on Kell by quickening Connor.
That means that Kell *did* kill both Connor's girlfriend and adopted son from Highlander 3, which would make sense why Connor wants out.
@@MMZERO9: I'm sure it was an adopted daughter
@@JadenMoon1475 Connor had both an adopted son, John we see him in Highlander 3 and an adopted daughter, Rachel who we see in Highlander 1 and Endgame. She is by far the eldest of Connor's children having adopted her in WWII.
So Kell killed his girlfriend and his adopted son John as well as Rachel.
It could be argued Kell had Brenda killed. the woman he married from Highlander 1. We don't know that for sure but it's possible.
No wonder he wanted out.
I dont think it was just that. i also always thought it was he saw that Duncan had become more skilled than him in a sword fight, but unlike him Duncan was too rooted in his ideals to win at his skill level. So Connor needed to both help him move beyond being held back by his ideals, as well as give him the edge he needed in fighting skill to compensate for his compassion an idealism in the end. Connor went out like he lived as a mentor, teacher, and friend to those that mattered to him, even in his grief.
It was sad that Connor McLeod had to be killed off. I believe they killed him off because Christopher Lambert was getting too old and they wanted the films to start following Duncan.
+Daniel Williamson Plus, I heard his eyesight was pretty bad at the time as well.
+DefLeppardVanHalen his eyesight was always bad. He did the fights in highlander 1 practically blind
I met Adrian Paul almost a week. It was awesome meeting him.
@@danielwilliamson6180 They offer Lambert to play Connor in the Source. But he wants to much money and they take Duncan.
Christopher lambert is only 2 or 3 years older than Adrian Paul
I really feel like that they need to reboot this franchise. Also they need to have the right directors and good up-and-coming no name actors to make this work.
I know right
Reginald Frempong yea if they choose to just make the movie into a solid trilogy maybe 4 movies at the most with a solid story line in order it can be good. Just a simple game about immortals fighting for the price of the gathering.
I want to, however, I'm scared that it would get screwed up somehow.
Daren Moore The only way it can get screwed up is if they try to over complicate it and also try to do the same exact storyline. I feel like you can stick to the original source material and add a few different things and just make us something new and exciting.
@@Rickyralph I believe that. That is the problem I'm worried about.
All that power and experience connor had over all that time whew..he knew he couldn't beat kell and made the ultimate sacrifice he knew Duncan could counter that lock..wow iconic scene
Seeing Connor in this was similar to me seeing Luke Skywalker in the last Star Wars film. It just didn't fell like the same character.
Brian Ezell I know what you mean
Hollywood being subversives as usual
I feel this was a better send off than Luke got, to be honest.
@True Perfection I mean at least Connors sacrifice mattered.
True
This was undoubtedly Duncan's most agonizing quickening
this and Richie
as someone who grew up watching the Movies and the serie. That one hit me hard when first watched it. More than when Ritchie died.
this was connor. the quickening should have been far more. I like how midnight turned to day (that was cool), but it should ahve been more.
I agree with you on that. Given some of the people Connor has taken down, I feel like his quickening should have been massive.
This was probably the best anything has ever done to unite movie and tv. It doesn't feel cheap, it doesn't feel rushed...the characters have weight behind them.
Enjoyed Highlander, the first movie and the TV series. And I'm glad this movie came to be...a rarity...and done extremely well.
I remember watching this in theaters. Two brothers of the same clan shouldn't be fighting eachother. Teacher against student, heroes each in their own right. Had me in tears when you see the life Conner has lead in flashbacks. Can't imagine how the essence felt when Duncan absorbed his life force, his memories, his power.
you paid money to watch this in the theatre?
@@happyjonn9242 When the film first came out. Then I bought it on a special 2 disc edition DVD to watch to help continue my collection. Had the first of whatever the magazine started a person off with for the vhs tapes in a box set for season 1 as a kid.
@@knightrcer but you said you watched this in a theatre not on dvd or vhs.
@@happyjonn9242 he's lying. It was straight to dvd and never was released widely.
I'm caught between Ramirez being killed in the original and this moment but this one is one of the saddest scenes (if you followed the whole highlander universe) because in a way that clip where Ramirez's sword falls to the ground effectively kills off his legacy and Connor's (as it was built up through the series and previous films) and really shows Duncan as being the deserving one to survive due to the pains he had to endure (a lot in common with Connor) but train, fight with honor and maintain his character's integrity.
The film could have been WAAAAY better though and the villain really should have been not just powerful (due to quickenings) but also be more like a skilled cunning version of Kane for example.
+Kal “JackofSpades” AH You're right. I could've been way better, but still enjoyable enough. I have the directors cut. Much better then the theatrical release. And watched the rough cut as well. There's so much good stuff they cut out of the movie. I'd love to see more deleted scenes. I still absolutely love the movie though
+sean mackie yeah I saw them too the director's cut was way better but funnily enough some of the rough cut really should've been in there I thought some of those scenes were great!
Kal AH Agreed! Like Joe stopping the other Watcher from shooting Duncan in the final fight. That whole speach should've made it in. And so much more.
Never happened, the Gathering ended with the first movie.
I watched the show growing up. I watched the first three movies. Somehow I skipped this movie and even saw the source. All these years, I thought Connor won the whole thing. This seems crazy to me. I guess they had a lot of continuity issues.
Chris Arnold The original Highlander movie and Highlander 3 take place in an alternative time line to the series and this movie. In the timeline in which the series takes place Conor still killed the Kurgan in the 80’s (as Dawson tells Duncan) but it was nothing more than yet another fight between two immortals. Naturally in the original movie’s timeline it’s the end of the game and Conor is the last immortal.
Star Wars franchise from which 95% of the content (games, series, Dark Horse Comics, Thrawn Trilogy and other hundreds of books) were purged: "That's cute"
So true, Kurgan was such a good villain.

Remember in the pilot when duncan said “we never say goodbye “ this time they did
The slow build up of the music just to explode like a quickening brilliant just brilliant chef's kiss 2:56
Connor and Kurgan were the last immortals. And Connor was the very last. That's fact After the first movie the complete story was bullshit.
Kirk Maccabeus that was Kronos fighting the kurgan while the kurgan was a rookie in the game
routinier13 there were more immortals during the 1st film since at the end Ramirez told Connor don't lose your head which means there are more immortals but kurgan was always the most powerful immortal, more powerful than Kell, Kane, Grayson, Kronos, kalas and ect.
I remember seeing this in theaters with my dad. we both were in shock and cried when Conner was killed.
1) Why the Heavenly light before the Quickening?
2) I find myself watching vids like this *JUST* to cry, so I know I'm not a Monster!!
And the summer children thinks that Game of Thrones invented the wheel of subverting expectations...
This is far better than burning all...
Erick Marquez dude. Did ya not see Highlander.......you know, the one where Conner became the last one? The movie this series is a prequel to? This ending makes no, repeat, no sense at all. Do you even pay attention to what happens in movies or are you just sitting there blank faces and mesmerized by all the pretty lights?
@@concordetconstabulary219 There's two different timelines.
The first is the movie timeline that the original three Connor movies as well some of the comics are on.

@@cryptidproductions3160 nothing else to add just to salute this Highlander Scholar keep the knowledge my brother...
Just poignant- Connor had come to the end, he was weary and utterly alone. All he had loved and cherished save Duncan were gone, gone because of a blood feud centuries old, gone in his mind because of HIM. The love of his very long life , missed every day of two centuries, weighed on him , as well as the fear that something he created could claim the ultimate Prize and the life of the only person he had left that he cared about- it drove him to that rooftop. RIP, Connor McLeod- Ramirez was right about you. You were a hero to the end
A pure vision of heart and steel. This scene got to me.
The only thing that doesn't break my heart about this is how f'n cool it looks at 0:46. There's lots of content with sword fighting but there's something iconic the way it's done in Highlander
In the end, there can be only one!
Anything after the original Highlander should not exist
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!
just dont watch them?
Hey, Adrian Paul did one hell of a job with the Highlander series. We can't count that out.
I got to admit there are a few difference highlander movies that don't have anything to do with the original . I mean i did like the Tv show. but the one where the immortals came from space was a dumb one to me. and also the one where the qucking allowed for an immortal to have a child was another one i thought was crazy.
The excuse is alternate universes lol but the truth is they didn't expect to make another one and a TV show n the show got so successful they had to make a tie in movie lmao
When Duncan asks Connor if he forgot what he taught him, I cried
Stopped watching after the 3rd film, one of my favorite franchises growing up, damn I had no idea Connor died until now
No matter how many Connor trained to use a sword,Duncan was his best student.
To be honest Duncan was always the better swordsman. While Connor had more power, knowledge and experience
as far as i know Connor only Trained Duncan
I was working at the movies when this came out. I walked in to check it out during this scene and nearly got fired for screaming when I saw Connor die
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This whole clip from start to finish made me cry
I wish every quickening in the movies and series could have been like this, a quick glimpse into their lives.
Duncan killing Connor always makes me cry 😭😭
Still crying here
Hated to see Conner die but the Highlander series was so awesome. Plus Adrian Paul is a true swordsman and martial artist. Love Lambert but Paul was believable as the best.
He had 2 kill his brother 2 beat Kell, this was played out so beautifully, no matter the victory, it will always be bitter sweet 2 Duncan, that's why I love this scene
The last thing I would had said to Duncan when say goodbye would had been "Remember, Duncan. In the end, there can be only one."

This franchise deserves a reboot. If chucky, karate kid, and mortal kombat get reboots and continuations this franchise deserves it then.
This scene broke my heart in so many ways
Lambert was amazing on screen and its sad he couldnt make more of these. But he was dangerous in the sword fights because he was nearly legally blind
I think 'nearly legally blind' is slightly dramatic lol. He is severely myopic and needs glasses to do pretty much anything. He can't wear contact lenses because his eyes are too sensitive (I have that problem as well) so their choices were either have him look like he doesn't know how to swing a sword, or look like Mr Magoo.
In a fact they offer to Lambert to play Connor in the Source.
@@ricardodavidson326 glad he declined. The source is the worsr
@@ronniejdio9411 I agree, I just wish they were able to get him to accept recurring status during the series, it would have been nice to have had him show up for an episode or 2 every season. Think about it there were some episodes were Connor was needed, especially Homeland were Duncan goes back to the Highlands. Also I would have loved to have seen Connor and Methos interact.
@@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295 I think connor and method might have had beef
Duncan's screaming during this Quickening sound - If only to me - like he's angry for having to kill Conner.
Not really sure about his yells - Except the very first one which sounds to me like he's thinking: 'WHOA, THIS HURTS!' - during the Quickening after he took Kell's head.
I’ve always wanted to write a Highlander story where The Highlander and an evil immortal fight not just on holy ground, but somewhere sacred like The Dome of The Rock in Jerusalem or The Vatican in Rome and have an epic Quickening that would change the world.
The rough cut of this scene is much better. Lots more dialogue. Connor even says he’s so tired of life when he’s on his hands and knees.
Trying to hold back every manly tear.
Conner was tired and didn't want to fight anymore he wanted to see his wife again. And he knew Duncan needed his experience and power to win
I both liked and hated this moment for I both understood it and condemned it. I felt like with all the loss and pain conor had its only normal for anyone to feel like they are finished, but then at the same time the warrior spirit I relate to conor screams this aint it brother go out swinging and fighting he was one of the best immortals to ever exist I felt like giving him a suicide ending was cheap to the man he was.
One last bit when an immortal kills another they absorb all that makes them powerful & fuels their individual strength what’s fascinating is of all the the things Duncan could have seen about what made Conor so powerful it was the fact that he was a good man!what’s so much more emotional is that Duncan saw Conor’s life and what he held dear in his heart & Conor’s last thoughts were only of the people he loved not the battles not the enemies he even saw the version of Cal that was his friend not his enemy he truly dies fulfilled & without regret
This was the prefect ending of Highlander 💞
Before the series began their was an article where the producers said that Duncan's adventures take place in a Parallel universe, this is an alternate take on Connor Macleod.
Man I loved everything about the highlander movies and the series
The sad fact of the story is Connor MacLeod blames himself for creating Kell he thinks if he hadn't killed his father this would never happened and kell we'll never have been granted immortality and none of his friends would be danger now if he hadn't done that Connor MacLeod blames himself that's why he believes he has nothing to live for he believes he was responsible for the death of those people closest to him which isn't the case before him it is what everyone he loves dying he knows it's only a matter of time before Kell comes for his head and that's once he's done with Connor he's come out to Duncan Connor MacLeod couldn't risk losing his cousin so he sacrificed himself to protect him and that's the tragic story the saddest story am I love about the scene is how reluctant Duncan is the take the head of Connor MacLeod how Connor forces him to do so and a music it's absolutely beautiful scene and tragic
adrian pauls accent was all over the place in this movie
actually sort of makes sense. dude lived centuries across many countries. accent WOULD be all over the place
So was the acting
Because he comes from lots of places ;-)
This movie is really good
Even though the continuity makes no sense
That's because it's not in canon with the original three movies
The TV Show created it's own separate timeline/universe that Endgame is canon to
like Cryptid said
Highlander(1986) and then Highlander III: The Final Dimension/The Sorcerer is the canon timeline. 3 explains why and how Kane was allowed to be the last because he was caved in years before The Gathering began and was freed after Kurgan’s death.
Highlander: The Series, Endgame and The Source is a seperate timeline that follows it’s own continuity.
CANONICALLY, Connor is “The One”, but in an alternate universe, Duncan is.
I always appreciated that Highlander doesn't use stunt doubles nearly as much as other shows and movies. Letting the actors do the scenes.
Def keeps me in the scene knowing for the most part it's the actual actor.
Huh? I would watch these scene again, and all the cuts and edits and where you can clearly see Christopher Lambert’s stunt double. Basically anytime it’s not close up, it’s not him.
Because by that time he had started having problems with his eyesight. Nothing dangerous to his health, but it completely removed the opportunity to perform complex techniques, because that would have been dangerous for both him and Paul.@@watchreport
Imagine being responsible for Ritchie's death and down the line killing Connor....poor Duncan T.T
But Duncan killed to Connor in his sane sense.
One of em had to go Kell was too powerful and evil. So Connor basically gave Duncan his head Connor could of easily best Duncan
@@deronlouis88louis52 they could have teamed up against Kell or just shot him. If I was an immortal I would just shot any known cheaters. If they arent going to play by the rule then why should there oponents.
@@Gaspe19 A gun shot will do nothing to am immortal! Connor ride the top of am elevator to the ground in a movie It was Highlander 2 his bones were broken I think but he still survived he had to snap his bones back in place but he did not die
@@deronlouis88louis52 a gun will temporarily kill an immortal making it easier to kill them before they revive.
there was a small clip in this where the character (Duncan) looks up upset before the quickening happens that is missing.
They did a really good job editing this to make Christopher Lambert seem almost as proficient a martial artist as Adrian Paul, who trained regularly throughout the running of the series. If only they'd done this well with the Jacob Kell fight...
Remember that Christopher Lambert is legally blind, so much of his sword work would be limited.
It's 2023 😢I'm still crying watch this on vhs in 1999.... The past and future is crying 😢😢
Rest in peace brother.
To many plot holes in this movie and in this franchise. The original Highlander was ended when Conner took the Kurgan head and claimed the prize.
Yes!
Says you
The quickening is too simple. Connor is the guy who beaten Kurgan and his quickening then was much bigger
When Duncan took Jacob keil head he gained 1101 quickenings that's the most out of All the highlander movies
This scene makes me think that John Claude Van Damme and Christopher Lambert are the same person traveling through time
I'm still watching this scene in 2020. What a masterpiece
Rest in Peace Connor Macleod 1518 - 2000 ⚰
4:45 This emotional death scene brought to you by JVC
I hope when the reboot comes out that they cast Michael Jai White to play Methos and that they cast Josh Brolin as Joe!!!
Duncan Macleod was amazing character and Adrian Paul was the perfect fit for portraying him. I wish the final movie wasn’t so all over the place and held true to the rest of the series. They could have had another immortal like as old as Methos who was a big bad be the protagonist for Duncan to have to face. Not the clown they had in the source.
OG Conner is the man. He made McCloud stronger.
Conner was still the superior swordsman between the mcclouds. He maneuvered Duncan into that move so he could die.
I’m gonna cry goodbye macloed
