Highlander 1

[LK-13]

i was wondering, i know that highlander 2 was ignored for the rest of the movies, but how did they explain the imense quickening connor went through and how he was supposed to win the prize?

at that point in time the only 2 other immortals left were removed from the game,
Duncan was on wholly Ground so therefore removed.
and the Van Pepeoles character was walled up in a cave, so again removed.

Actually 2 takes place in time after 3. Connor was the only immortal left on Earth and had won the prize. Another came from another planet (Ok actually another 3).

However having said that #2 and #3 don't really exist (kind of like SW 1-3), and should be ignored (2 is just bad - though the director's cut is better, 3 actually changes the rules - i.e. Van Peebles is around even though Connor should have been the last). Endgame on the other hand is tied to the tv series and should also not be really considered a sequel to the original.

I know this can turn into one of those Trek vs. B5 style arguments, but I'm just gonna say of the whole bunch I only like Highlander I and II, (Maybe its just Virginia Madsen, but I really like II ) the director's cut of II "renegage version" is the only way to see it though, the original version of II, with the aliens, was largely the product of interferance from the films Argentine money backers, who since they were paying, figured they knew how to make a better film. Lots of films in the 80s and early 90s suffer from that kind of thing.
Never watched the TV show.
