Highlander: Endgame (2000)

The Further Adventures...
Highlander: Endgame seems to pick up not long after the ending of the television series, with Duncan seeking his mentor and fellow clansman Connor, who has grown tired of the Game and gone into "Sanctuary" (I'll not give away any more of the plot....watch it to see what happens..).

One thing though...any die-hard Highlander fan knows that Duncan was never married (see season 2, episode 4, "The Darkness", in which Tessa dies), yet in Endgame, his "wife" reappears....whats up with that?

Job well done
As a long time fan of the TV Series I really enjoyed this movie. I'd have given it one more stare if it had played true to the TV plot. In show they make it clear he was never married, now he has been. She is enough of a fox that Duncan could not have forgotten her.

Okay, let's try looking at this another way....
I've been reading some of the reviews listed here and believe that the problem lies in trying to make this movie a sequel to the first three Highlander movies. I don't see this movie that way. The first Highlander movie starring Christopher Lambert was fantastic, even if our Scottish hero did have a French accent. As most will agree, the second and third movies (with the exception of Sean Connery's reincarnation) were chaotic trash and I've decided to mentally remove them from my Highlander experience. For me, after the first movie comes the excellent series with Adrian Paul as a younger McLeod. After the series, Highlander: Endgame worked well as an additional Highlander fix for those of us who miss the series. Granted the movie played more like an extended episode of the series than it did a movie release, but I've seen that happen before. (Star Trek: Insurrection comes to mind.) While I would have liked to have seen more Methos in this movie, my only real beef with the movie was due to a storyline inconsistancy. Throughout the series it was stated that Duncan had never married. In one episode, a gypsy foretold that Duncan would never marry. And yet, here was Duncan's wife from a couple hundred years ago. That blatant a change in the back story caused me to give the movie 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and highly suggest that anyone interested in Highlander should watch them in the order I now place them. First, Highlander the movie, second, Highlander the series and third, Highlander: Endgame. I think you'll find the Highlander experience much more enjoyable this way.
