History YMMV / HighlanderTheSource

* SpecialEffectFailure: The single quickening we get is probably the most visually intense in the entire franchise, but just before the building explodes, there is a ''massive'' blue-screen failure resulting in the Guardian appearing to ''pass through'' one of the chairs in the room like a videogame character with a noclip cheat.

* TheScrappy: Just about all of the new characters to some extent; Anna for being bland and a CreatorsPet, Reggie for trying too hard in his comic relief role, and Giovanni for his ridiculous appearance and one-dimensional personality.

* {{Narm}}: The Guardian is meant to be an immortal, ageless and ancient being who guards the Source. Our hero's introduction to this deadly threat involves the Guardian yelling, at the top of his voice, '''[[IncomingHam THIS IS THE END OF TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!]]''' It comes so totally out of nowhere that even the characters are left standing there awkwardly for a few seconds afterwards with Duncan in particular having a look on his face that just screams "...the HELL?"

* ContestedSequel: There's a lot of debate if this film is worse than ''The Quickening'', or other way around.

* {{Narm}}: The Guardian is meant to be an immortal, ageless and ancient being who guards the Source. Our hero's introduction to this deadly threat involves the Guardian yelling, at the top of his voice, '''[[IncomingHam THIS IS THE END OF TIME!]]''' It comes so totally out of nowhere that even the characters are left standing there awkwardly for a few seconds afterwards with Duncan in particular having a look on his face that just screams "...the HELL?"

* GodModeStu: The Guardian. He becomes freakishly overpowered even compared to the other immortals due to some illogical plot contrivance, has super-speed, flat-out ignores the "no fighting on Holy ground" rule, and the only way Duncan beats him is through some horribly-choreographed battle sequence (see Narm below).

* TheScrappy: Just about all of the new characters to some extent; Anna for being bland and a CreatorsPet, Reggie for trying too hard in his comic relief role, and Giovanni for his ridiculous appearance and one-dimensional personality. However, all of these are topped by the Guardian, who is stupidly overpowered and immune to any sort of neck damage short of a total decapitation, disregards the holy ground rule, has a totally insufferable personality (and that's '''''after''''' it was toned down in the US cut), and just to really piss fans off, breaks Duncan's katana and gets to kill [[spoiler:Joe]].
** The movie itself practically counts as one to the whole franchise (well, this and ''The Quickening''). Notice how this has its own page for tropes unlike all of the other Highlander sequels.

* GodModeSue: The Guardian. Seriously, he's freakishly overpowered even compared to the other immortals, has super-speed, flat-out ignores the "no fighting on Holy ground" rule, and the only way Duncan beats him is through some horribly-choreographed battle sequence (see Narm below).

** The final battle. Especially the end, as [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] hilariously lampshades. He even has to add a NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer and clarify he didn't edit the footage (apart from adding [[{{Series/TheBennyHillShow}} Yakety Sax]]). Essentially the fight ends with Duncan spinning around the Guardian so fast that the Guardian drills into the ground up to the neck.
