Ah - okay - now I follow -

The guy Connor was talking to on the bridge - that's Kastagir and The Kurgan (the big guy w/ the safety pins in his neck) killed him in the alley a little later in the movie.

The Gathering - well, according to the movie - Kastagir, Kurgan and Connor were the last few immortals left, so once Kurgan whacked Kastagir, then it was just Kurgan and Connor - so those two had to face-off - b/c what's an action flick w/o some kick-ass violence, eh?

- and Connor wins... so he's the last one.

All the 'other' immortals that were supposedly around - guess they all got dead before the end of the movie - b/c Connor also killed that one under the Garden and I think the Kurgan got one guy down in NJ around the same time. My guess - the last few who were left were running around picking fights with every immortal they could find until it was just Kurgan and Connor left - b/c they were the strongest of those left when the movie started, so they'd be the ones left at the end...

The real answer - the writers and producers don't really say where all the 'others' are... we're just supposed to assume they're all dead before the big fight at the end of the movie...

That help more?

(pssst - subtle hint - watch the series! Methos is awesome!!

Oooh, ok, makes more sense now.

I didn't really understand all the little fights at the time, i figured they were more flash-backs or something.

I didn't even know there was a series, so i'm guessing they don't repeat it very often. But i'm looking into renting the other films.

I think Spike TV in the US is running the series at like 5 in the afternoon or something -- I have most of the eps on tape in some form --

I know the DVDs are out for S1-3 - DO NOT buy them from the HL store online - go to Best Buy or someplace like that - they're cheaper...

And yes - rent the other movies --

HOWEVER - when you rent the 2nd one - get the Director's Cut - it's titled as "Renegade Version" or something --- it's the better of the 2 versions of the 2nd movie -- or, you could just watch both versions and try to find the differences --

You could reasonably skip watching "Endgame" and never miss anything -- in fact, you'll probably want the 2 hours you spent watching back after you're done...

Take a poll -- really - it's that bad -- that much of a violation of Highlander canon --

It's like they just grabbed some random guy off the street and told him to make something up and gave him character sketches - and not very good ones at that... (just hit the Endgame section - you'll see

)
