History YMMV / HighlanderTheSource

* HamAndCheese: The Guardian's performance is incredibly over the top (described by [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] as something you'd get by casting Creator/JimCarrey as the Kurgan), and might be the one remotely good thing about this movie. Though for some, he overdoes this ''so much'', it just becomes annoying instead.

** The final battle. Especially the end. Essentially the fight ends with Duncan spinning around the Guardian so fast that the Guardian drills into the ground up to his neck. (Described by [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] as similar to a duel between WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck).

* 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, Giovanni for his ridiculous appearance and one-dimensional HolierThanThou personality and the Guardian for being both a Villain Sue and taking the "[[EvilIsHammy Hammy villain]]" shtick so far that literally nearly ''every single one of his lines'' is some sort of wisecrack and thus he's impossible to take seriously.

** The Guardians infamous "I AM THE END OF TIME!" line isn't an original quote. Kronos said it first in The Series shortly before losing his head to Duncan..

* OlderThanTheyThink: The "This is blasphemy!" exchange actually isn't meant to be a rip-off of ''Film/ThreeHundred'', as many have accused it of being. Both this film and ''300'' were filmed at roughly the same time, but ''The Source'' ended up being stuck in DevelopmentHell and released well after ''300''.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The vaguely-described, society-destroying, cannibal-producing apocalypse that has produced the society that this movie is set in tends to leave many viewers feeling like they're watching an inferior movie that takes place immediately after another, much more interesting one.

* 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.

* {{God Mode S|ue}}tu: The Guardian 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).

* VillainSue: The Guardian has superhuman strength and speed, is capable of ignoring the holy ground rule and just to rub salt in the wound [[spoiler:breaks Duncan's katana and kills Joe.]]

** The final battle. Especially the end, as [[WebVideo/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.
--> '''Spoony''': I'm almost convinced they stole the fight choreography from a fight between WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Daffy]] [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Duck]].
** More hilariously, Spoony reviewed the shorter cut of the film. In the longer cut, this scene ''also'' has Duncan and the Guardian using their super speed to spin up dust devils from the sand to throw at each other (yes, really,) as well as Anna spinning around like a helicopter and ''taking off'' when the planets finish aligning. One can only wonder what Spoony's reaction to this would've been.

** 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 running up to him and 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?" while the Guardian looks at the ground for a moment as if pondering "Why did I just do that?"
