1. Even in a post war decimated Eastern Europe, you can still easily gain access to sophisticated ultra-modern communications equipment if it's protected by one security guard.
2. Zai never had a chance.
3. To be the Guardian to The Source you must be as camp as Christmas.
4. Being a 5,000 year old immortal who has traveled the length and bredth of the world and time does not mean you can pull off a leather jacket with tassles.
5. When planets align they will appear bigger and closer to us than Earth's own moon.

8) "Lawlessness" means the cops show up just in time to witness you stabbing a guy and begin pursuit.
9) The first four Highlander movies and two TV serieses (a combined seven seasons worth) were all just a big joke!

History vs. the Da Vinci Code
10) If you want a big explosion in your movie have a random guy drive a gas truck through a brawl, and crash it.
11) If you want to quickly move the characters onto an island, have one of them say "We need a boat," get a shot of them on the boat, and then a shot of them standing at the pier watching the boat float away -- all this can be done in 2 minutes.
12) The depth and meaning of a character's death is inversely proportionate to the goofiness of the hairdo. Reverse Flock of Seagulls, anyone?
13) Three Immortals with collectively thousands of years of battle-honed reflexes and habits cannot see or hear black-clad (*snerk*) cannibals tromping through a sparse green forest until they are surrounded.
14) Beefy guy in a gimp suit + Queen song = not good bedfellows.
15) If while filming a movie, you find yourself burdened with a reluctant hero with an attitude problem, just use an overly long death scene to convince him to do the right thing (for your budget).
4. Being a 5,000 year old immortal who has traveled the length and bredth of the world and time does not mean you can pull off a leather jacket with tassles.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Side note, some of the others added by other posters are just stupid and will not be included in the final list.
Completely agree with number 4. What the HELL was that? LOL.
16. In a post-apocalyptic society, you will resort to cannibalism. And you will like it.
17. Apparently when a woman goes into the "source" her clothing and hairstyle is automatically changed. She now has lots of braids.
share18. Somehow, Immortals were already using steel broadswords even in the Stone Age/Bronze Age.
share"Apparently when a woman goes into the "source" her clothing and hairstyle is automatically changed. She now has lots of braids."
Oh, man. Too funny. I just saw this the other night, and I looked at my friends (who were unfortunate enough to watch it with me) "Wait, was her hair like that before? Did the Source BRAID her f--king hair?"
The poster formerly known as Refrax2
19. In an apocalyptic society you can gain access to a brand new car upon arriving at a port populated by cannibals. And then the oldest guy in the car gets to ride shotgun!
share20. Apparently Adrian Paul DOES need the money.
share20. Apparently Adrian Paul DOES need the money -- LMAO!!!
share21. If you're a big fat guy and someone else finds a Source, you're troubles are over.
22. How did he get to the Souce in the first place with a Monk (where were tha cannibals?!), and what's the meaning of puting some send from the Source in a litle bottle, apart from being able to explode buildings?
23. Being the guardian means you can start pulling swords out of your body (by their handles, no less) in infinite numbers.
24. Although they have firearms and motocycles, Cannibals prefer to chase people around on horseback or on foot, with wrenches and knives in hands. It's far more satisfying, I guess.
25. In order to be the "guardian" of The Source, you have to wander around and kill random people as well as hang out with cannibals, rather than actually standing guard in front of the Source, like a normal guard would.
I regret everything! :(
26. The Source gives you babies.
27. When ending a movie, do not actually show the audience. Instead, recap the entire movie in montage as though your audience had forgotten it, and use a voice-over to explain what the audience could have seen in the missing ending.
"20. Apparently Adrian Paul DOES need the money."
Paul is producer...

The Braides were on the flash back woman from the first bunch of immortals if the director writers or editor had any skill at all maybe Duncans wife being that females reincarnation would of made sense.
shareThings I learned: You will NEVER get to know were the immortals come from, why they are in this world and why do they have to make a head collection!
[deleted]
Yeah...but come on. A leather jacket with tassles?
That is really the crime you have to admit. Tassles people?!!
"It is unknown if we can continue to make a stand on so many fronts. But we will try."
Yeah...but come on. A leather jacket with tassles? .....
I was wondering : could it be because the wardrobe assistant / tailor of the movie, thought it was a gladiator movie of some sort??!!
I think it was because the actor playing the Guardian probably was terribly out of shape and wouldn't be convincing at all if we were able to see his stomach.
shareYeah, Methos exclaims Duncan's not the man he once was yet he himself sports a leather jacket with tassles... Hell-o-o
shareToo late. Wish I would have visited this board beforehand. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie I began to feel physically ill and was thinking "oh no...it's that sequel that we don't talk about all over again."
shareactually if you watched the first movies about duncans cousin conner you would see that they are from another planet..they were rebels..sent here..with no memory of how or why..the tv series did not follow the orginal plot..and people being born normal and some becoming immortal with the first death..no explanation why or how..evidently they were zapped to earth in different times..so the difference in ages..actually when you think about it the plots had several hole in them..conner eventually remembered.
there could only be one ..who would get the prize...so they went around cutting off the heads..and absorbing the life forces..which made them stronger..
who ever wrote highlander the source must have had his head removed before he wrote it..
54. Duncan decided to become a superhero and 'patrol' the roof tops of Russia in his spare time.
55. Now, just like the Watchers, the Immortals have fromed their own secret society of Computer Wizzes and hackers alike.
56. The law regarding Holy Ground is now solidly confirmed as absolutely nothing as both the Guardian and Duncan fight on Holy Ground and nothing happens. No one can explain it away by saying 'Yeah but they werent fighting back so it's not really fighting' or 'Yeah but it's not really a law just tradition' which is often rebutted with 'Yeah but Pompeii blew the f ck up when there was a fight on Holy Ground'...Duncan and Guardian are standing at the foot of a HUGE MONASTERY and sweet F-A happens. Thankyou Stephen Kelvin Watkins and Mark Bradley, I have learned that you are idiots.
Welcome back, welcome back, guess who's back...
Okay. The woman has been the same for years and years. She has been reborn. Which is why we see her have different hair, so we know that the woman has been the same.
shareor it might be a flash back from the original source scene they show, telling you that she's supposed to be the same person in spirit.
share35. Lithuania somehow appered to be an island.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania
36. In post-war lithuania you will have a pre-war gas pumps in middle of nowhere.
37. If you have sensed the guardian once, you wont do it second time.
38. Apparently everyone but duncan becomes weaker when coming towards source. Duncan, on the other hand, become super powerful coming closer to it.
39. If you want a baby - leave a man you love, and still dont get a baby.
40. Bum childs are usually prophets, watch out.
41. Best place to hide in chaos rulled world is in stadium.
42. All immortals started to live in Russia.
43. The source happened couple miles from my house! Maybe i was the chosen one?
44. The map in computer of immortals are totally *beep* up? what happened to world? doomsday?
45. According to Mythos Christians can heal.
46. A bad guy always have to be ugly.
47. Buy turning around you can dig yourself into sand while still blocking attacks of another guy, which runing around you have not dig a *beep* in sand.
48. Somehow, immortals (i.e. Duncan/Methos) that never aged for hundreds/thousands of years now look 15-20 years older than when we grew to love them. ;^)

53. Oh, it was all something about some planets and a baby… greeeat. You never prepared me for that, Spanish Peacock.

that after all the pathetic sequels, they still don't think it is enough....Highlander 2010...look it up....no joke..they are still not done making dismal sequels..it is sickening.
shareI think you're talking bout the remake shannon and jesse...But yeah i get what you mean...
I have inside me blood of kings - YEAH!
54 - Apparently the rules of being a Cardinal are DIFFERENT when you're immortal
55 - You need an effing buttload of hair gel to be Cardinal
56 - Kicking the gas pump never works
[deleted]
57. Methos still has all the best lines
58. Because Methos has the best lines he must be punished by wearing a ridiculous coat, he's Death you wanna point out his coat looks silly?
59. A beloved character MUST be killed in every Highlander movie post the series, and it must be fairly pointless
(although I do kinda understand the point of wacking Connor - Christopher Lambert born 1957 making him a tad long in the tooth, besides he probably wanted to be far far from the next sequel).
Duncan MacLeod: You're an a--hole.
Methos: I never said I was deep.
There can be only one.... movie of the series that sucked complete ass and dragged down years of hard work and good story writing and turn it into the biggest disappointment ever.. This was that film. I am so furious about this. My favorite story in scifi and they make a complete mockery of the artwork... they owe everyone who watched this movie an explanation and should apologize for making it. If they want to resurrect Highlander, they should do it with an MMORPG video game that graduates into a movie with a collective of ideas from the fans.. we dont need another sloppy screenwriter to make an embarassment to our beloved storyline.
sharea few things i learned
1. Guardian Knows all Sees All Yet is Evil and blood thirsty?
2. Duncan Mcleod can easily confuse people for no reason
3. There are worse thing then death like having to watch this move
4. Introducing Random characters that no one cares about is always a great thing
5. Flashbacks who needs flashbacks
6. The film did nothing to set out what it was supposed too
7. oh and why give back stories to the new imortals
