jfim74's video: Highlander 1986 Connor at his first death

The first film of the series, released on March 7, 1986. The film features a number of flashback scenes establishing Connor MacLeod's early history. According to them he was born on January 1, 1518 "in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel" (historically this village is better known as the rally point where Bonnie Prince Charlie's troops first concentrated on August 19, 1745 See:Glenfinnan (http://www.road-to-the-isles.org.uk/glenfinnan.html)). In 1536 his clan was in conflict with the rival Clan Fraser. Connor had his first battles in the conflict. The Frasers had employed an experienced immortal only known as the Kurgan (Clancy Brown) and he apparently recognized that Connor was a fellow immortal though even Connor had not discovered this yet. The Kurgan managed to mortally wound Connor in battle but the MacLeods recovered the body before he could decapitate it. The MacLeods mourned Connor but he revived shortly after his "death". Accusing him of being a witch in league with the devil, Connor's clansmen tortured him and were about to execute him. But thanks to his cousin Angus MacLeod (James Cosmo) he managed to escape with his life. However, he was left in exile from his clan and birthplace.
