For centuries, we've been told there can be only one.
But it's another time. And a Supernatural enemy has grown too strong for any immortal to face alone.
So two brothers are about to join forces. Together, they're our last chance to stop the ultimate evil.
It will take two immortals to defeat the ultimate evil. But in the end, there can be only one.
The last chance. The ultimate evil. The final battle.
What has always been a fight for one now becomes a battle two must face together.

There are four shots in this film from the original Highlander (1986). The first is a computer-altered and -enhanced shot of Glenfinnin, which was originally the shot of Connor walking away from his village. The second is a shot of the Silvercup sign, pulled from the scene of the Kurgan taking Brenda to the building. And in the rooftop Quickening, two shots of Connor and Heather together are also taken from the original.
The scene of Duncan in the hilltop in Scotland was the last shot filmed, and arrived for the editors the day they started making release prints.
As Duncan travels toward his rendezvous with Connor, there is a shot of his vehicle passing Silvercup Studios, the scene of the final battle between Connor and Kurgan in the original Highlander.
The film was not screened for critics prior to release.
In the theatrical version of the film, Methos refers to the Sanctuary as Holy Ground. Many fans were upset that Kell killed Immortals on Holy Ground with no consequences, So all references to the Sanctuary as Holy Ground were deleted from the DVD version of the movie.
The main villian in each Highlander movie has a name starting with the letter "K" (in order: Kurgan, Katana, Kane, Kell).
The original title was "Highlander: World Without End".
For the scene in the cemetery where they meet following the events at the Sanctuary, Duncan and Connor originally spoke French, because both Paul and Lambert are fluent. However, during post-production it was decided to switch the language over to Scottish Gaelic.
The Faith fashion show was filmed in London's Millennium Dome exhibition.
The image below sowing Jacob Kell stopping the sword was not included in the final film.
Connor MacLeod: In the days before memory, there were the Immortals. We were with you then, and we are with you now. We are driven by the endless fight to survive in a Game which knows no limits of time or place. We are the seeds of legend, but our true origin are unknown. We simply are.
Jacob Kell: What you need to understand is that I don't care about the game. I don't care about the rules. I don't even care about these pathetic souls you keep locked away as a barrier to the prize.
Methos: You know a little about Buddhist monks. Some of them come
to cherish life so much that to step on an insect or harm a blade of grass becomes a violation of their creed, so the place themsleves under an extreme form of protective custody, a sanctuary of sorts. Well, for an Immortal who comes to abhor the bloodshed, there's a similar solution - a way to be removed from the game forever. Though the price is unimaginably high, but you are, for all practical purposes, protected from the violence within you.
Duncan MacLeod: [In a showdown with Jin Ke] Some people say you're a man of honor. Jin Ke: What do you know of honor? Duncan MacLeod: [Seeing his words have had no effect] Oh great.... Jin Ke: [Fight starts until Duncan disarms Jin Ke] Honor is not in the weapon...it is in the man...
[martial arts combat starts]
Duncan MacLeod: You're missing the point, Kate. The difference between Connor and I is that as long as you're still alive, there's a chance that one day I might be forgiven. It may take years. Centuries even. But at least I can carry that hope inside me. That's one blessing of immortality; there's always tomorrow. Even for us.
Duncan MacLeod: No, Connor! Not like this! Come on, stop! Connor, stop! Connor MacLeod: Duncan!
[long pause. Then quietly] Connor MacLeod: One of us has to die now, old friend. Duncan MacLeod: No. Connor MacLeod: And you know it. Duncan MacLeod: No. Connor MacLeod: Good-bye, Duncan, my true brother. Duncan MacLeod: I love you, Connor.
[takes Connor's head]
Kate MacLeod: Stealing's wrong. Lying's wrong. Killing's wrong. What you did goes well beyond wrong. Duncan MacLeod: Fine I deserve that but I want a chance to make it right. Kate MacLeod: You want to make it right? Then give me back the ability to have children, to grow old with the man I love. How about anything that resembles a normal life? And you took it all away from me.
Duncan MacLeod: [In a showdown with Jin Ke] Some people say you're a man of honor.
