The Highlander II "In the end there can be only one." After that what happens?

Didn't they make a Highlander III, something about the planet they were all escapees from but didn't remember? Or am I just remembering 2 and thinking it's so bad it was a third?

Yes, II was the escapees atrocity. III returned to the original story, starting with an explanation with Christopher Lambert staring into the camera and, in so many words, saying “let’s pick up a few minutes before the first movie ended and ignore that POS that was its sequel”, then continued with a storyline of “oh, hey, there is one more immortal after all...”

II was so bad that, yes, you are mis-remembering it.

They made a 3rd, and several others, that basically pretended the 2nd did not happen. Sean Connery was in it because his contract from the first movie required it. I read somewhere he does not think it is funny to ask him about it.

There was also a 90s tv series that was not that bad.

II was the one where they escaped from the planet.

I heard that III was actually watchable, but I was so soured on the series by II that I skipped it.
