All A Dream

From watching the first version of the movie "The Quickening" you really have nothing more to go with other than the producers wanted to make lots of money and it blew up in their faces...however to rectify the screw up they give us the "Renegade Version" now simply on DVD as the "Special Edition"...so for me they could've made this all a dream for Connor, him falling asleep in the Opera House then waking at the end to where we see "Jimmy" telling him that its over and Connor's last words could've been simply "I thought so too Jimmy...I really did"...BAN lol continuity back into play (at least in the original trilogy universe)...tying that to Highlander 3 is easy where as you say it just happens between the two and Brenda can still have perished in the car accident because remember the future was all a day...

I dont think a dream would have been very creative unless it was some sort of dream world.

However I wish this movie did beter as the writers had a great idea. Movie serials have been done the same way forever. If you look at videogames a great series like Final Fantasy has no or little ties between them.

It would have been great if this premis was successful, think wouldnt it be great to have a series of movies where the characters stay the same from movie to movie but the universe changes? Always McLeod always an inmortal but each movie tied together.

It seems they got the script and chickened out and tried to make it tied into the other movies.

You want to see some strange continuity watch the Evil Dead trilogy. At the beginning of the second and third films they recap what happened in the previous 1 or 2 respectively.

Except they use new footage instead of footage from the previous film, they cut out all the characters except the main character's girlfriend and she is played by 3 different people in the 3 different films...
