Well, it explains his super-speed.

* Sadly, this also provides explanation for many other plot holes. Katana is not the absolute ruler of Zeist, but he wants to be. The Priests held the trial and passed sentence as Katana looked on in frustration. Katana wanted Macleod dead as an act of defiance against the Priests, but could only send his two idiot goons instead of an army because he had to do it in secret or risk the Priests coming down on him. Katana didn't know that Macleod killing his henchmen would make him immortal again because the Priests didn't tell him.

Because from Katana's perspective, Macleod only just left Zeist.

When an immortal loses his head at mortal hands or by accident, and in the absence of another immortal, the energy doesn't just disappear but instead gets diluted in the world population.

[[WMG: Highlander II the Quickening was just a weird reality that Connor Macloud made after he got the godlike power that the prize provided him.]]

[[WMG: Connor was already immortal during the Macleod/Frazer battle.]]

We see him driving around New York with a trunk full of guns, already odd behavior. He seems drawn to the alleyway where the Kurgan and Kastagir are fighting, and stands and watches with rapt attention, eventually trying to kill the Kurgan. In response, the Kurgan stabs the redneck (much like he had MacLeod) and throws him across the alley... but the man survives, and later tells the police that the doctors say he's healing faster than normal. Clearly, he was to become an Immortal. What effect the Gathering and the claiming of the Prize has on all this, who knows.

That is to say, that the "Prize" is to be the last immortal left, for now. In The Source, there is mention made of the first generation of immortals, with only two individuals left alive. So, the Prize is to survive long enough to train the first of the new generation of immortals. Could be that the Prize winner ages and dies eventually, or that one of the new generation of immortals takes his/her head, killing off the previous generation. With this, the Game can and will continue ad infinitum.

[[WMG: The Prize is based around what the winner wants. It's not an immutable prize. (So Connor gets what he wants, while The Kurgan would be able to live forever and rule ze world.)]]

* Seconded. If only he "imagined" the cast and crew were busy for the other films.

* It makes a hell of a lot more sense than the film's actual "canon"...
