| 1 | * {{Anvilicious}}: The film's view of revenge being a purely destructive force that doesn't solve anything is pretty on-the-nose throughout. |
| 2 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The use of Music/{{HIM}}'s "The Sacrament" as the ending theme. |
| 3 | * CompleteMonster: The ruthless Roman general [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Marcus Octavius]] earns [[AntiHero Colin MacLeod]]'s eternal enmity by massacring his people and crucifying Colin's wife Moya to see their home destroyed. With Rome's fall, Marcus vows to recreate it anew in his hunger for a world of order and beauty, working for countless evil forces throughout history including the Nazis themselves. When he takes over a future New York, Marcus unleashes a virus with an 80 percent kill rate to keep the population in line, and when they resist his rule with Colin, opts for some "creative brutality" in sending his forces to decimate the remaining population while planning on unleashing an [[SyntheticPlague even deadlier strain of the virus]] to kill every living thing in New York before he finally takes Colin's head. |

| 5 | * MemeticMutation: This film is the source of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EfhAFA2yFE WOAH-OH-OH-AH-AH-AH-AAAA-HA-AH-AH-AH.]] |
| 6 | * NightmareFuel: The brutal moments where a woman stabs a man several times. |
| 7 | * SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: While not a sequel per se, most people agree that this film is better than anything [[{{Sequelitis}} that came before]] ([[Film/HighlanderTheSource or after]]), with the exception of the [[Film/{{Highlander}} 1986 original]] and the [[Series/{{Highlander}} TV series]]. |
| 8 | ** A lot of this comes from just how ''loyal'' it is to the rules of the series. Everything from how one becomes an Immortal, to The Buzz when they near another, to rules like holy ground being sacred and only one to a fight, are all strictly honored by the filmmakers. Not to mention the animated medium really showing just how far removed from mortals Immortals are for the very first time, something the franchise's [[WesternAnimation/HighlanderTheAnimatedSeries last attempt at animation]] failed to take advantage of. The only major exception is having Marcus and his lover team up in harmony without coming to blows over the Prize, something most fans forgive simply because ''every'' installment after the first film eventually had Immortals doing that in some form or another too. |
