Can't remember if this was ever discussed back in the day. I remember thinking about this for a good while when telling a fan of the series about Endgame when they said they never saw the movie or heard anything about it. I could see their eyes sorta light up when I said that it had both Duncan and Connor in the movie.
What was the first thing that you thought or visualized when you heard about there being a fourth Highlander movie with Connor and Duncan both being it?
I first read about it it I think in a gaming magazine back in 1998. It said Highlander 4: The Search for Connor and had a brief little synopsis about the film that I dont think had anything to actually do with the end product. My first thought was that it was going to have Duncan, Methos, Amanda, and Joe all in action and having the circumstances be so intense that they would need to find Connor MacLeod and get his help. That there would be flashbacks with Amanda, Fitz, and so forth, but with Connor interacting with everybody.
I expected basically like a two part episode of the tv series with big budget visuals and scenery. I figured it would be a real intense dramatic story because you now got Connor MacLeod back in the mix and well during the 90s I always saw Christopher Lambert as being a badass. With him being in the role of the 'Elder Highlander' I just assumed he would appear and be a bit like how he was on the first ep of the series and a bit like Rayden from Mortal Kombat.
That wasnt at all what we wound up getting but I remember being so hyped at the fact that the two MacLeods would be on screen together and excited that Duncan MacLeod was gonna be on the big screen for the first time.
