Highlander (the original movie)
(1986)
Connor MacLeod is the Highlander, a 16th century Scottish warrior,
the noblest of the immortals. Ramirez--the Spanish peacock--showed
him his destiny and taught him swordplay. Heather loved him. But the Kurgan sought
them out in MacLeod's wild homeland, and dealt Ramirez the only death an immortal can suffer--decapitation. Now the immortals
are gathering. Seven lifetimes later in modern New York, the last of the immortals face the final contest. One of them will
receive the Prize they have awaited since the dawn of history. The others must perish. The Kurgan is strong--with the strength
of total evil. Finally, only MacLeod has the power to destroy him--and save the Earth from an era of chaos and darkness.

Highlander: Way of the Sword
(four issue mini-series comic by Dynamite
Written by J. T. Krul
Set primarily in 1966 with flashbacks to earlier events, which tell
the journey of the Masamune, this story tells of a period of time from 1804 until 1966 wherein Connor MacLeod
lost the Ramirez' Masamune sword and his long quest to recover it. Since Connor used the sword in the 1964 flashbacks set
in issues 1-4 of the main series, this is an AU from that one.
