IMDb user rating average 1 1. A franchise reboot has been in development for the past decade. Every Film Franchise, Ranked. What else is excluded? Don't worry: That still leaves over 60 film franchises to rank. It shows him seeking out the sorcerer and blade master known as Nakano, the same man who taught Ramirez how to fight.
There, he gained valuable knowledge that would help sharpen his skills. Unfortunately, both Connor and Nakano were attacked by the renegade immortal Kane and his henchmen. Connor fled while Nakano created two exact magical duplicates of himself, but Kane saw through the illusion. He beheaded Nakano and absorbed his power while the severed head kept talking.
It was one of the silliest Quickenings of the franchise, by far. This particular Quickening wasn't about raw emotion, the absorption of power, or defeating a deadly foe. It was about one man having to do the impossible in order to succeed and stop a madman. Connor initiated a fight between himself and Duncan in an attempt to get him to kill him so he can absorb his power. The resulting Quickening was heartbreaking. As Duncan absorbed the full impact of Connor's combined Quickenings, he also shared in his memories in a fitting flashback tribute to the original MacLeod and Christopher Lambert, the actor who portrayed him.
It would be the last time Lambert would pick up the katana. After killing the Kurgan and going on to erect a powerful shield to protect the planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation, Connor MacLeod grew into a tired old man who was ready to die alone, and peacefully. He wasn't particularly interested in saving the planet anymore, nor did he feel he had the strength to fight on in any meaningful capacity.
That changed when General Katana sent Corda and Reno to kill him. He barely survived an encounter with Corda before the villain was accidentally beheaded, triggering a Quickening that restored Connor's youth and power.
To a certain extent. I will say that Highlander: The Source needs to be the death knell of what we once knew of Highlander. I think we really need a reinvention that is as groundbreaking and amazing as this first movie.
