Trivia:

This is the first live-action "Highlander" film in which the villain's name does not begin with the letter K. In Highlander (1986), Highlander II: The Quickening (1991), Highlander III: The Sorcerer (1994), and Highlander: Endgame (2000), the villains were named Kurgan, Katana, Kane, and Kell, respectively. (The animated film Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007) (V) also featured a villain whose name does not begin with the letter K, but it was produced after "Highlander: The Source," despite being released first.)

Goofs:

Continuity: During the fight on the docks, Methos is slashed across his throat, yet later he shows no scar from the injury when he should have one, just as the Kurgan still had one received from Connor MacLeod in the first Highlander movie.

Quotes:

Anna: How old are you?
Reggie Weller: I'll be 314 3 weeks from next Tuesday, I'm only a wee lad compared to Giovanni and Methos.

Highlander: The Down Payment

OK, I've watched & loved, Highlander the series.... I enjoyed it more than the movies themselves. Adrian Paul is a really talented actor & though I feel their acting was dead on... the script for this movie was HORRIBLE.

It was as awful as Highlander II... it just left me feeling like someone... wanted to revive the movie to make a few dollars. It was as if they threw this script together on a weekend & convinced some great actors this was a good idea.

Highlander creators... we'll act like this didn't happen if you promise not to produce another movie to finance a new house.

2 thumbs, way down.

Such a cool series, such a bad movie.
