* In the the cartoon, at the gathering they agree to take the oath the obviously evil ripoff of The Kurgan basically loudly declares his intention to take out the pacified immortals and take over the world; So in response the other immortals go ahead and take the oath without dealing with the one desenter who pretty much said he was going to wipe them out once they made themselves defenseless.
** No, he comes along with everbody else and pretends he is gonna swear the vow of pacifism, but when they all have finished swearing except him that's when he refuses and declares himself the last immortal, ruler of the world.
*** But this goes back to the holy ground rule, and is even sillier as the immortals JUST made this up. Who is going to stop them from cutting of the head of the ONE dissenter? "We just all took a vow except this guy." "He is going to kill us all." "Maybe we should hold on that vow until he is dead." "Agreed." Seriously.
** Never saw the series, but did try and play the game based on it (which sucked ''hard''.) My first bad feeling came when describing the setting, and specifically when telling that Connor [=MacLeod=] went to try and deal with the traitor, he lost the fight immediately because he'd taken the oath of pacifism. Seriously? Connor [=MacFuckingLeod=] let himself get beheaded because an oath stopped him from fighting back, even in self-defense?
*** Connor didn't let himself get beheaded, he was just defeated in front of all the others. It's implied that breaking his oath was what doomed him, a kind of magic and stuff. And so all the others, having witnessed this, couldn't go for the direct approach because of their oaths either - until many years/centuries later, when a new Immortal was born and he was the only one who could defeat the not-Kurgan, being under no oath just like him. In fact it's Connor himself who foretells this after he's disarmed, before dying.

* Here's the biggest one of all: how come no one ever 'kills' and Immortal and then decapitates them? they die for at least a minute, so it should be as easy as pulling a gun and hacking off the dead guy's head. But nobody ever does this or uses a few arrows or poison or anything.

* Put this down to typical movie writing but... in the finale of the first film, why did the Kurgan go after Brenda when she hit him with a pipe, when he was SECONDS away from executing Connor? He was clearly enjoying taking his time going after her, enough that it let Connor get back to his feet and fetch his sword for the final showdown. I get the Kurgan is a sadist who just enjoys hurting people, but wouldn't some ''tiny'' amount of common sense tell him to just kil Connor and be done with it, ''then'' start playing cat-and-mouse with Brenda?

** There is more than one Prize. Those Immortals who show special powers have also won a Prize at some stage, they just get different abilities to the ones Connor is granted.

** When we watch Highlander 3 when Connor and his enemy try to fight on Holy ground an apparition (similar to the one we see give Connor the Prize at the end of the first film) appears and stops them.

** We did see such abilities again...in the TV series. Some immortals did possess some special abilities like Cassandra's CompellingVoice and John Durgan had a [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic roar]] and Peter Kanis could mentally control attack dogs. Other supernatural elements existed in the show, including the demon Ahriman and the crystal that apparently granted immortality.

** Also, if we consider the Doylist/meta factors for a moment, then it has to be acknowledged; at the time the movie and series were made, men were (and to some degree still are) more typically given the heroic / villainous roles in action-fantasy media than women. ActionGirls tend to be less common in media than Action Boys for this very reason.

** Rachel says, when Kurgan leaves that taunting message on Connor's answering machine, "the endless killing's driven him mad." Of course, it's heavily implied Kurgan was a few fries short of a happy meal before he and Connor ever met.
