* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Kane is very similar to the Kurgan from ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', a sword-wielding barbarian madman who has clashed with Connor in the past, beheaded an important mentor of his, and is still pursuing Connor to get the Prize. They differ in that Kane starts out with two allies before going solo and is also a MagicKnight, which makes him more dangerous.

* SamePlotSequel This film follows the plot of the original ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' very closely after the disappointing ''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening''. Once again, Connor is pursued by a very powerful and evil immortal from his past, there's a romance subplot with a present-day mortal woman who mirrors a woman from Connor's past, the {{Muggle|s}} police start investigating Connor because of all the strange beheadings he's involved in, the villain kidnaps one of Connor's loved ones towards the climax to draw him out, and at the end Connor finally defeats the villain after a heated duel and wins the Prize.

* ImmortalProcreationClause: Connor has adopted a son named John to have children, since he can't procreate while he remains immortal. Kane taunts Connor with having had to lie to all his past wives just to be a dick.
* KickTheDog: Kane's entire arc is basically one long line of atrocities to cement his evil. For instance, he slaughters a village in the opening when they don't immediately tell him where Nakano is, endangers the life of a small boy for kicks and ''rapes a prostitute''.
* LecherousLicking: Kane does quite a bit of perverted tongue wagging, for instance when he threatens to rape Connor's love interest.
* LosingYourHead: After Nakano is decapitated by Kane, he still manages to speak and cast a spell on his cave to trap him.
* MageInManhattan: Kane is a magician immortal who travels to modern NYC and immediately starts causing trouble.
* MagicKnight: Kane is the titular sorcerer that qualified for this trope, since he is a swordsman like most Immortals and gained magical powers from an Immortal magician he beheaded. He typically manifests his abilities as illusions, though.
