Headscratchers / Highlander III: The Sorcerer

Go To

  • Why in the HELL would those two Immortals serve Kane for ANY period of time? Did they just not KNOW that there can be only one? Surely they would know that Kane would kill them both eventually.
    • I don't think they had any choice. Plus one of them survived until he met Connor.
    • "Okay, so here's the deal: you two can serve me, and we'll all go around killing immortals for a long time as an unstoppable team until we're the last three left. At that point, you might actually be strong enough to kill me. Or, I kill you now. What do you say?" Or, alternatively, Kane was the one to mentor each of them and they served him because of this, and because Kane wanted an alternative to having to grow eyes in the back of his head in case an immortal should come at him from behind, or in his sleep, or whatever.
    • The way I remember it was that there can be only one on Earth. Thus, they had no reason to worry about it on Mars. It is also the only way to explain Connor becoming the One, and keeping that from the first movie.
    • They were already developing a bit of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. Kane killed one of them immediately after siccing the other on Connor, with specific instructions to "Just find him." The other immediately decided to take Connor for himself, probably realizing that was the only way he'd be able to have a chance against Kane. It was pretty clearly an alliance of convenience, doomed to fall apart as soon as it was no longer convenient (which is exactly what happened.)
