What happens if a mortal decapitates an immortal?

The immortal dies, the energy just isn't absorbed.

Weak.

It should make the mortal an entry-level immortal or something. That could have made for some good twists... people tricking the immortals into vulnerable positions in order to gain immortality.

Immortals are actually prisoners from the planet of Zeist, not just humans. So it's impossible to become one yourself, simply because killing a Zeistian (?) does not make you a Zeistian.

This is ridiculous

The series had more twists than the movies. Zeistens?? Prisoners? Do what? I don't remember that at all and I watch/ed the series AND the movies religiously. lol

Series... sidekick to be... 'Richie" (I think his name was) gets hit by a car,, as a normal human and wakes up an Immortal. ;-)

You must of missed the second movie "The Qucking"

They were sent to earth as normal humans, but didn't become immortal unless something horrible happened to them. Like a car crash or a sword fight or something like that.

Sheesh, now I have to root around on the 3rd floor to find all the movies to watch. Grrrr.

they born Immortal but they realize it when they die for the first time.

I think the Quickening movie and the whole Zeistian thing was forgotten by everyone that ever made any Highlander stuff after that.
Kinda like how George Lucas ignored that he made the Star Wars Christmas Special

Haha! Remember the Ewok movies released direct to TV?

[berg.the.red]

supposedly the studio stepped in on Highlander 2 ( for various reasons ), and took over production. they went with the "another planet" pot. with the directors cut they kind of glossed over that "lame plot line" ...

That's not the way they had it on the TV shows and movies. If you didn't die a horriable death and instead died from old age, you would not become immortal. They weren't immortal until they died from a horriable death. They even showed in 2 or 3 of the TV shows where the person was killed on purpose to make the person immortal. In the one TV show with that short haired lady, she killed the guy with a sword before he died from something else (don't remember what he was dieing from) to make him immortal. I'm geeking out on this Highlander crap now.

That second movie messed up the entire timeline. It shows Connor in the future with the second movie but shows him also dieing in the last movie that was made.
