Short description
Immortals Connor and Duncan Macleod join forces against a man from Connor's distant past in the highlands of Scotland, Kell, an immensely powerful immortal who leads an army of equally powerful and deadly immortal swordsmen and assassins. No immortal alive has been able to defeat Kell yet, and neither Connor nor Duncan are skilled enough themselves to take him on and live. The two of them eventually come to one inevitable conclusion; one of them must die so that the combined power of both the Highlanders can bring down Kell for good. There can be only one... the question is, who will it be?
What's left behind the scenes
- In flashbacks, the characters of Christopher Lambert and Adrian Paul fight with federschwerter, which are special two-handed swords for training that first appeared in German fencing schools in the Middle Ages.
- Initially, in the cemetery scene, the characters of Christopher Lambert and Adrian Paul spoke French, which both actors were fluent in, but during post-production, it was decided to replace the language with Scottish (Celtic).
- The shelter was filmed in Romania, in an abandoned salt mine at a depth of 182 meters. There was only one exit from the mine, and it took a considerable amount of time to lower the film crew and equipment – a few people and items at a time.
- The producers wanted to film in Vancouver, where the series was filmed, however, the studio management preferred filming in Romania, where it cost less.
- During filming, Bruce Payne fell ill with bronchitis, which was a force majeure circumstance and forced the filmmakers to take a break in filming until the actor recovered (it took him about three months to recover). After recovering, the actor refused to return to Romania, so a significant portion of the action scenes with his participation had to be reshot in London.
- It was decided that Connor MacLeod would die in the film – mainly due to Christopher Lambert's age and his vision problems, so the focus of the franchise would subsequently shift to Duncan.
- The film's trailer shows many scenes and plot elements that did not make it into the final movie—for example, scenes that make it clear to the viewer that the main villain, played by Bruce Payne, possesses supernatural abilities, or the scene immediately following the jump through the portal by the characters played by Christopher Lambert and Adrian Paul. It was subsequently announced that some scenes were filmed exclusively for the trailer to attract the public.

Upon his recovery, the actor refused to return to Romania, so a significant portion of the action scenes involving him had to be filmed in London.
