Highlander Movies Trivia Questions

[Dragon Katana]

Hmmm, the link is still working for me. I wonder if your internet in England does not allow the link to be active for some reason?

Yes, the scene is just before the WW2 scene. You got the answer just right about Rachel fixing Connor's tie. Nice analogy about the mother with her child.

Ok, here is my answer to your question: I see four people in the bar scene. The bartender, Connor, and Brenda are easily visible. To the extreme right of the screen, I see the right arm of a person sitting at a table. This person is moving just a bit as the scene progresses and the arm appears to be bare, so I think it is a woman. I have never noticed this before! I have seen the movie many times too and I have also been surprised by the little details that I never noticed.

Next Question: When was the last time that Connor and Kastagir had a party?

Yeah, the link is probably not working due to being region blocked.

In all honesty I'd have to go back and watch the bar scene. If you watch the Blu-Ray or UHD version of Highlander I think its easier to make out how many people are in the bar. But yeah, I think there's around four people in that scene - Bartender, Brenda, Connor and someone sat down at a table.

Connor and Kastigar last had a party in 1783. So you're talking 202 years ago by the time The Gathering takes place in 1985

Next question; how many beheadings are there in HIghlander? Now this is a two-parter. I'll accept the easy answer based on what is visually shown but what I'm really looking for is the exact number of beheadings. So beheadings that might be referenced in the film or even cut entirely from the film.

The links dead unfortunately.

If you're talking about the Directors Cut then I think the scene you're referring to is just before the WW2 scene. We European's always had the WW2 scene, so I'll take a stab at this:

Rachel puts her hands out and appears to put a knot in Connor's tie. Much like a caring mother would do with her young child before their first day at school....

Funnily enough I've never really noticed what Rachel does during this scene. It's amazing what you pick up when you re-watch a film that you've probably seen over hundred times!

[Dragon Katana]

The scene you are thinking of, in which Rachel touches Connor's face, occurs several minutes after the one that my question is about. Let me help out with a link to the movie that I use when I am online. This link is to the director's cut and includes the scene in my question:

Answer: I have to be honest here and without Googling I'm about 95% sure that Rachel touches Connor's face?

I watched that scene a number of times looking for any sign of fruit.

I bet you did

Next Question: After the scene where Bedsoe eats the bag of Doritos, Connor and Rachel are talking in front of a big window at the antiques store with the city nightscape behind them. Rachel reaches toward Connor and does something with her hands. What does she do?

Next question; during the bar scene (One Year of Love is playing) - how many people are in the bar? Including the bartender?

[Cyrus The Great]

What fruit can be seen during the 'love making' scene between Connor and Heather?

Answer: There is a green apple on the plate of lunch that Heather brought for Connor. Now, here is something funny about your question. I initially misread or misremembered the question and thought you were talking about the 'love making' scene between Connor and Brenda. I watched that scene a number of times looking for any sign of fruit. Then it occurred to me that outside the bedroom window was the New York City or "Big Apple" skyline. That was going to be my answer until I read your question again. Interesting coincidence that both scenes have apples in them!

[Dragon Katana]

Connor is walking away from the MacLeod castle after he is banished. The scene changes to the Moon rising over the mountains and then fades into a close-up of Connor's face. Then, Connor's face morphs into another face as the setting returns to the present in New York City. Whose face replaces Connor's?

Mona Lisa.

What fruit can be seen during the 'love making' scene between Connor and Heather?

[Cyrus The Great]

I'll certainly take photos of the castle. I'd love to see some of the old members come back. I'd love to reach out to some of them.

Answer to your question:

"Why does the sun come up, umm?' and 'are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night?'.

'Who knows? But what I do know is because you were born different, men will fear you. Try to drive you away...like the people of your village.'

Next question; What is the very last word uttered on screen at the end of the first Highlander film?

I love that dialog by Ramirez!

Answer: Ramirez's spirit remnant within Connor spoke the final words in the movie. He said, "You have power beyond imagination. Use it well my friend, don't lose your head."

If you go to Eilean Donan, take lots of pictures and post them here at the Board. Something like that might bring some of the old members back to participate with us, and maybe some new ones too!

Answer: It was difficult to see clearly, but I think that Angus gave Connor a sword which he somehow attached to Connor's back.

Next Question:

At the Loch where Connor was dumped into the water by Ramirez the following dialog exchange occured:

Connor: "This cannot be, its the devil's work!"

Ramirez: "You cannot die MacLeod. Accept it."

Connor: "I hate you!"

Ramirez: "Good, that is a perfect way to start."

Next scene, back at the tower/forge:

Connor: Tell me, how'd it happen for God's sake?"

What are the next two sentences that Ramirez spoke in response to Connor's question?

[Cyrus The Great]

Eilean Donan. I'd love to go one day. No excuses for me really as I live in the North East of England so its not that far from me.

Next question: If you look closely, what item does Angus give to Connor before he's kicked out of his village and thus avoiding being burnt at the stake.

[Cyrus The Great]

Very good question. I think Bedsoe is eating a packet of Doritos? Or if its later in the film it could be a hotdog from the infamous "what does baffled mean?" scene.

Next question: How many candles does The Kurgan extinguish with his hand during 'the church' scene?

It was indeed a bag of Doritos. I wonder if Frito-Lay paid the movie's production company for that product placement?

Answer: The Kurgan extinguishes nine candles including the one that Connor had just lit for Heather on her birthday. What a bastard!

Next Question: What is the name of the historic Scottish castle that served as the seat of Clan MacLeod in the movie?

[Dragon Katana]

Yes. Its amazing how well brandy keeps over time!

Answer: Heather asks, "Oh, would you like some more wine?" Ramirez responds, "Yes please", and then looks up with a frown on his face as he senses the Kurgan.

Next Question: After Brenda comes to the antique store to speak to "Mr. Nash", there is a scene with Lt. Moran and another policeman. What is the other policeman eating?

Tossed children into pits with hungry dogs to fight for meat.

Next question. During a sentimental scene between Rachel and Connor, Connor describes something which relates to poets. What was he describing?

I bet the Kurgan ate those dogs too!

In answer to your question: Rachel says, "You refuse to let anyone love you." Connor responds, "Love is for poets. You're such a romantic Rachel, you always were." - beautiful scene!

Next question. During a sentimental scene between Rachel and Connor, Connor describes something which relates to poets. What was he describing?

[Cyrus The Great]

'The Big One' is what I think it says. Well done.

The animal skull...I'm not even sure if it is a common animal? I'm thinking something like a sabre toothed tiger, or a lion, possible a jaguar? It's a big cat of sorts mixed with a mythical beast.

Next question; what is Kurgan holding when he is on the stairs, just before he kidnaps Brenda?

"The Big One" would make a lot more sense. Maybe the graffitist ran out of spray paint?

I tried to look up what animal the skull was from. I found references indicating a tiger several times. Then I looked at pictures of actual tiger skulls and there were differences from the Kurgan's helmet. So, I think you are right, the skull is some sort of big cat and mythical beast combo.

To answer your question, the Kurgan is holding a small pink popsicle. As Brenda tries to escape into her apartment, the Kurgan eats the popsicle off the stick. Funny, I never noticed that before.

Next Question: Connor and Ramirez are talking about the Kurgan. Connor asks, "Who is the Kurgan and where does he come from?" Ramirez answers, "The Kurgans were an ancient people from the steppes of Russia. For amusement they __________." What did the Kurgans do for amusement?

[Dragon Katana]

This is an interesting question because I have never really noticed the graffiti in the parking garage. There is quite a bit that only appears momentarily and can't really be made out. However, just before Fasil appears, the words "The Big" can clearly be seen tagged onto a column.

Next Question: During the battle of the clans in 1536, when Connor first encountered the Kurgan, what sort of animal skull is the Kurgan wearing?

The book Brenda J. Wyatt wrote is: A Metallurgical History of Ancient Sword-Making. Admittedly I had to Google it. I could remember the words but not in the correct order


Next Question; In the underground car park scene when Iman Fasil confronts Connor one of the pillars has some graffiti on it - what does it say?

I think its pie and ale?

Next question: what colour is Ramirez's horse?

Yes, and with respect to that scene, I think that pie has a double meaning.

Ramirez's horse is magnificently white. I was going to say stallion, but that anatomical possibility is indeterminant in the brief blur of the horse flying over the camera.

Next Question: What is the name of the book that Brenda wrote?

[Dragon Katana]

"That weirdo man, he got up, after I put enough lead in him to drop a rhino."

Next Question: Shortly before Connor meets Ramirez, he is forging a horseshoe. Heather, comes out with a plate of lunch. What did she bring for Connor to eat?
