 Which is why I thought they should have used magic to turn those immortals to stone or send them forward in time. Then they wouldn't have existed when Connor won the prize and their re-appearance (the curse being broken, arriving AFTER he won the prize) would have upset the natural order of things and made him immortal again. Hey, it makes more sense than just saying they didn't count because they were buried.

Hollywood itself has become "The sequel that wouldn't die" in the amount of sequels they churn out, for good films and even bad. Now the trend is trilogies, which I like better anyhow because at least it's a continuing story vs. rehashing the same jokes, scenarios..etc. that made the original so successful. But in sequeling a movie you diminish the love of the original by turning the characters into characatures (sp?) like michael meyers in halloween. I think the 80's really is responsible for the mass amount of sequels (part IV, V, VI..etc) and now they cleverly make sequels without the number (ie: Austin Powers: Goldmember) with a subtitle vs. a number. I like the original "highlander" but the sequels made a joke out of it, hard to look at the original the same after the proposal that they are aliens. Sheesh, there's something to be said about a little mystery.
