Did the first and second movie and the series and the third movie take place in alternate realities. Did Connor in the first movie face his life long enemy and become the last immortal. While in the universe that the series takes place in Connor faces his enemy and kills him but they are not the last immortals.
According to the first episode of the second season Connor faced Kurgan seven years earlier. But Connor and Duncan reunited the previous year so Connor could not have been the last one like the movie claimed he was.
Eithier the quickening was so intense for Connor it caused him to have delusions that he was the last one and he dreamed up the events in the second movie and realized in the third movie he was wrong.
Or the Connor we see in the first episode of the series is an alternate counterpart for the one in the first movie. And the Duncan of that universe eitheir did not exist or died years earlier.

Yep, the movie and the series happened in different universes. So say the creators of the series, not Greg Widen, the producers sorry can't recall their names.

Peter S. Davies, and William Panzer

Yes, thanks, I remembered Bill Panzers later on.

Actualy the first and third movies take place in the same reality. Remember at the begining of pt 3 Connor knows that Kane has come back because he lost the prize when they came back.

Both series' and Endgame take place in a reality where Connor faced the Kurgan but they were not the last 2. In this reality their are thousands of imortals. Also, Endgame takes place in the year 2002. On the movie's commentary track one of the producers says that it is 2002 because it's 10 years after Duncan last saw Connor and they were together for the pilot of the series back in 1992.

Highlander 2 (both versions) take place in their own reality and do not connect to any other Highlanders at all. I like the gag on the HIII poster where Connor was in front of a clock with years on it and their was a bolt of lightning striking through 2015 the year HII takes place in, as if to say "it never happened"

Also, Endgame takes place in the year 2002. On the movie's commentary track one of the producers says that it is 2002 because it's 10 years after Duncan last saw Connor and they were together for the pilot of the series back in 1992.

I can't blame them for trying to fix up that mistake, but there is a blatant problem with that: in the subtitle that inroduces The Sanctuary, the caption clearly says "Present Day". I don't think two years (at the time of the film's release) is small enough a difference to be considered even close.

So, Local Immortal? The Present Day caption will work next year. As it will be out of date after 2002 passes. Just ignore it until January 1, 2001.

If you ignore that whole "Connor got 'The Prize'" aspect of the first movie, you can almost make all Highlander fit into a coherent chronology.


During Ramirez's training of Connor, they go off and fight Katana, get caught and using powers of the Quickening are banished to a future, where Connor wins, and both he and Ramirez are returned alive and well to their original timeline. Life goes on like normal to the 1980's events of the first movie. Connor gets a big Quickening due to every life Kurgan has taken.

The events of the television series begin to occur, as does events of the third film (in a way, when Brenda was killed in the car accident, he realized that the future he encounted centuries ago had been adverted, and she would not die of radiation exposure). The television series goes on as normal, as does The Raven. 2004 ssees the events of the fourth movie.

Somewhere down the line, a Quentin McLeod is born in Scotland and some Immortals banish him to the future, where he fights and wins, coming back with knowledge that will help prevent the post-apocalyptic future he experienced.

I know, it's a stretch, but it works for me.

Did I mention that each of the books fits in there somewhere?

I rather take it that Highlander II was more or less apocryphal than real as a lot of it doesn't really make sense.
I mean of course by that the entire Zeist part of it plus Connor only being immortal when others from Zeist are on Earth and then becoming mortal again when he's the only one left on Earth.
The only good thing about Highlander II was the presence of Sean Connery in it.
btw:Speaking of Alternate Highlander Universes
I was thinking how interesting it would be if there was an alternate reality where Duncan and
Amanda coexisted with Angel and Buffy.
