Highlander Movies: Release Order
The Highlander franchise follows Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scottish warrior caught in an eternal battle where "there can be only one." The original 1986 film established the mythology of Immortals who absorb each other's power through combat, but the sequels took dramatically different approaches to continuing the story.
This watch order includes all four theatrical releases, though be aware that the franchise suffers from significant continuity issues between films. Highlander II introduced controversial alien origins that many fans reject, while Highlander III completely ignores the second film. Endgame connects to the TV series Highlander: The Series and may require some familiarity with that show's characters and mythology for full appreciation.
