The guy that wrote the original script for Highlander obviously knew something about immortal elves, and the films sword fighting has something to do with the feuding between Harlequin and Ehran, with the ear cutting becoming head cutting.
Now whether he was just a human who found out a bit of truth, or was in fact one of the IEs spreading disinformation is unknown. I can see IEs blowing off anyone who suggests they are immortal, as too into the Highlander franchise which by 2050–2070 must be on it umpteenth sequel, each one worse than the last but still getting produced somehow. (In this case the IEs themselves as smokescreen)
Close. The first one was accurately written but changed by the studio to make it more marketable, but after the cat was (almost) out of the bag, an IE came along and produced the second one, which was so horrible of a film that it effectively deep-sixed any conspiracy theories that the first one was actually in some way truthful.
. . . . that's the only thing that makes any sense to me in regards as to how Highlander II got made. What a piece of garbage (though the sets were certainly SR-ish at least).
