What's left behind the scenes
- During the filming of the movie, Robert Zemeckis' comedy 'Back to the Future Part II' (1990) was released in theaters. In one scene, a character travels through the air on a flying skateboard; the producers of Highlander liked the idea so much that they immediately devised similar flying boards for the Zeist mercenaries.
- Filming of the movie was completed on the same day that filming of the first film was completed five years earlier.
- Christopher Lambert and Michael Ironside performed most of their own stunts. The first received a broken finger as a reward, the second – a dislocated jaw from an accidental blow.
- Russell Malkahi, forced to compromise with the producers, so disliked the final version of the film that he only attended the premiere to 'tick a box'; he left the theater 15 minutes after the screening began.
- Christopher Lambert was only kept on the project due to contractual obligations. He disliked the rewritten script so much that he would have been happy to turn down the role. Nevertheless, he managed to insist on the mandatory inclusion of Sean Connery in the film.
- Malkahi demanded that his name in the credits be replaced with the standard pseudonym Alan Smith. However, under contract, he had no right to obstruct the project; the producers threatened him with a lawsuit.
- The documentary about the making of the film, attached to the director's cut, recounts that during filming in Argentina, severe inflation began, so the insurance company, which intended to maximize its profit from the project, itself began to exert creative control over the production.
- Sean Connery earned $3.5 million for 9 days of filming – almost as much as he earned for the lead role in 'The Hunt for Red October' (1990).
- In episodes not included in the film, it is explained that Kurgan is a native of the ominous planet Zeist and that General Katana (Michael Ironside) hired him to kill MacLeod. In one such episode, Katana watches on a large screen the final duel between MacLeod and Kurgan, and upon the latter's failure, sends two hitmen after MacLeod's head.
