Tribute to the Original Highlander - Connor MacLeod

This is a video dedicated to Connor MacLeod, the original, and to many the only, Highlander.
The song is Bonny Portmore, remixed from three different version of the song.
This video was made by myself and NeoDevilBane. We hope you like it.
Enjoy! :)

The original Connor MacLeod / Highlander can never be improved on!

[@messire9837]

Hin, hin, hin! ;)

[@peterscott7443]

Well said sir.

[@dfri729]

This always brings a tear to my eye. A very moving song. Connor will always be The One!

[@Olyjed]

this was THE Highlander film. Period.

[@marcusgrimmm]

Hero's aren't born they're made, Connor proved this.

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

My name is Stewart Andrew Nicol. I am born of the Clan Macleod of Macleod. I was driven to play drums from the age of 3. My band - Perfect Strangers - played the music from Highlander in concert across Europe. The film HIGHLANDER hit me like a memory from the past. I was born and bred in Fife, Scotland, from a family of coal miners. However, I believed that I was destined for higher things....and I Was Right!

I love Highlander!!! Connor was by far my favorite. This song is great!!

[@123miller69]

"Aye,, Angus pees his kilt all the Teem(time)" my favorite line from this movie. Lambert is,, and will always be,, IMMORTAL!!!! Kind of struggling to put words to how i feel about this movie,, I am sure many of you can relate

[@messire9837]

Yes indeed, in fact, I wish I couldn't. It hurts sometime, somewhere deep, and quite unexpected. But it's the good feeling kind of pain. The Peter Pan kind of pain. I'm sure many of you can relate. And the feels for Richie as well. He took something with him, when he made his last step. I feel like I want to switch dimensions now, where Highlander lives on, with all the gang in the credit rolls. Christophe at the top, that goes without saying. Or even the bottom. Last but not list kinda thing. Yes.

[@rucu8311]

Connor was happiest with hi9s first wife, seriously doubt he ever recovered from the loss. Being immortal...a lot of pain to carry, a chance of death even at the hands of a friend would be a blessing. Dead in one universe, alive in another.

[@roxylovemiky1792]

Well said McCloud

[@crypastesomemore8348]

In reality, being immortal would be amazing and ethereal. People like to cite “losing friends and family” as a deterrent or downside, but it is actually far less of a downside than for mortals: the expanse and aspirations of one’s perspective would widen cosmically with immortality, making the passing of friends and family far easier to handle and overcome, not to mention that mortals overcome such hardships constantly. It is foolish and limited to avoid immortality because of momentarily “feeling bad” over loved ones gone. It would be but a minute inconvenience for an immortal in the long run, if even that. In the Highlander series, of course, Heather’s loss is heavily dramatized for entertainment, not to mention that she was Connor’s first loss post-immortality. The ones that followed hit far less heavily, for sure.

[@EDDIEANDMIKA]

Of all of the Tributes to Connor McLeod on KZbin, this is the most touching one. I've seen all of those scenes a million times, but you managed to put them together in a very unique way and his laugh at the end is simply, haunting. Thanks!

[@maverickslb80]

Connor MacLeod will always be the best of all the immortals!!

Connor Macleod- The true winner of the game and the prize

[@Pantbera]

One of the best adventure live action fantasy films ever made! Merci beaucoup mon ami.

[@emiliejones1221]

They could’ve picked anyone better for the role as a live action fantasy he truly will be missed when he goes and everyone should be a true fan of his work and of the movies

[@MariaCristianaPfeifer]

I love this movie, all of them.... I love the serie..... This song Bonny Portmore is magic.... A kind of magic... thanks for this video..... God bless you....

[@Strap1205]

Very emotional tribute! Well done! R.I.P. Connor MacLeod

[@Ciara1594]

An interesting fact about Connor. All the other Immortals are foundlings, but only Connor was raised by his real mother. She didn't abandon him like the mothers of the other Immortals did with their "odd" children.

[@Yoseph107ify]

If I had to choose between Conner and Duncan as my favorite Highlander, it would be Conner. I can relate more to him. I wish Conner was in more episodes of Highlander. It would of a been really good if there were seens with Conner, Joe Dawson, Richie Ryan and Methos. Because he was Duncans mentor as an Immortal.

[@redranger3642]

[@DannyBoy-wq9ze]

Hi yes if would been good if Conner was in the final episode of Highlander series in 1998 leading to the movie Highlander end game in 2000. Also Ducan, Methos, Richie and Joe could have has a small part gathering in the movie Highlander 3 in 1995 hanging out at a bar or restaurant !. Also the Highlander cartoon series which ran from 1994-1996 claims and refers to Connor over Duncan !.

[@williammitchell1864]

Connor

[@siskojpc]

Well done! You caught the essence of the Highlander universe in film, television and song. For of of us who love the Highlander in all its forms, thank you for including Conner,s history with Duncan and all the characters he loved and cared about. Hats off to the Clan MacLeod.

[@EDDIEANDMIKA]

It's one of my favorite, too. I wish they could finally do a sequel in the franchise that would do the first movie justice.

[@cinemascotland]

Thankyou for appreciating my beautiful highlands. I am British by passport, Scottish by birth, and a highlander by the grace of god. And thank god.

[@cmsahe]

Oh boy, this video captures de esssence of Highlander, this film marked me for life. I got into fencing and martial arts because of it.

[@nutzernamenervt]

his accent is great! he never bring this quality in movies. sad but true. the first highlander was a great masterpice with great actors

[@AnomCorporation]

There is no highlander movie sequel again in year 2023, this was masterpiece movie franchise

[@fabiicarvalho8161]

Cheers too all Scotland lads❤️🍻

[@Adii30]

Amazing job on the video! Even though I've only seen the first one I still belive that Connor is the best Highlander.

[@jailcatjones3250]

I cried so hard when I saw Highlander Endgame for the first time! Been a fan of the franchise since I was a boy. Can't believe I'm the same age as the original.

[@Strap1205]

There should have been only the first movie and it would be perfect. But as the money business is going on it destroyed the myth about Highlander. But I like this video very much and it´s well done! Thanks for this nice tribute!

[@cameron1975williams]

You know, there is one helluva movie here, if someone were to edit al the best bits of the Higlander series into one almighty film.

[@Contevent]

Have to say that I had hard time concidering Connor McLeod as one of the Highlander. I'm a big fan of Duncan. But I admit that in a sense, he is the hell of an Highlander and was the one who made honorable the name of McLeod. He had a long and exausting life, but he never broke, not enven at the end. His sacrifice, ultimate proof of his sense of duty and his wisdom, was the last lesson he had to bring to his pupil. Maybe not the first in my heart, but undoubtly a true Highlander.

[@graceobrienbritton3215]

They were both real men and we're both handsome and both had great voices couldn't have pick and better tow ,to play the part

[@FromAgen]

Christophe/Christopher Lambert is a good actor, he deserved a better career in America and in France his homecountry.

[@mtgfanatic88]

Connor Macleod will always be the true highlander!

[@PedroNudos]

Adios Connor MacLeod siempre estaras en nuestros corazones encenderé una vela por el resto de los siglos por tu cumpleaños Music: " Bonny Portmore " by Loreena Mckennitt

[@vanmedya8699]

He would make a great brand ambassador.

[@katherinepaul5752]

Always a favourite

[@vanmedya8699]

This song is top 5 of all time for me

[@98wongjf]

Seriously, soooo much can be done to the premise of this story. Highlander should be rebooted and get it properly done.

[@SayanDracon]

Agreed. The premise of immortality as shown in the franchise could have resulted into an incredible film series or TV series (the latter being better in terms of character development). Unfortunately, producers did not really take their work seriously. I would love a reboot, but it is difficult to find someone good enough to play Connor, Duncan, Methos, etc.

[@76ksjs]

1:45 is one of the best seens. "I'll no forget you Angus."

[@adaoluissilva7307]

Thanks Connor MacLeod for everting you are on or heart

[@14DaveHunter]

A perfect video. I always thought this song was perfect, for a final chapter. Seeing it close out Connor's storyline, you hit the jackpot. To bad the studios that made Highlander, didn't see your genius.

[@sajmeister]

I love the w2ay this has been made, it kinda sums up the life of Connor Macleod. I love the way you ended it with the famous chuckle that Christopher Lambert is known for. 5*!

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

Macleod's body and personality are only temporary - fleeting like the snow in spring. The original film was only the beginning-the lives of the Highlander have been many and varied - the one that I am presently experiencing is that of a drummer gone beyond drumming to music on a different plane - keyboards, vocals, guitar, banjo and stand-up comedy, there is life after your ambitions!! My Clan is Macleod of Macleod and although there can be only one there can be many incarnations at once!!!!!

[@yethboth7873]

Connor MacLeod: Born 1518, Died 2000.

[@ricardodavidson326]

And fight again in 2024 and kill last immortal and take the prize in 1986 How is this possible

[@GalwayJoker]

Ricardo Davidson multiverses mate different connors with the same background different fates

[@ricardodavidson326]

@@GalwayJoker Yes. But Endgame is not only Connor fate is different. His past and his personality too. There is another character. I see it that way.

[@GalwayJoker]

Ricardo Davidson we’ll endgame is connected to the tv series and even from the first episode you can tell it’s different Connor then the one from the movie verse,I see the Connor from the tv verse and endgame as more of a battle hardened person who’s seen people age and die,while highlander 1-3 aka movie verse Connor had the means to love again even when Brenda died he found love again for a short while even had adopted a child and then why highlander two we see him age and accept his death only to become immortal again and yet again find love,in the movie verse he had time to move on from these deaths while in the tv verse he didn’t,he knew something was wrong in endgame saw Rachel die,exile himself never really coping with the deaths of the one he lost this Connor was lost and wanted to just end the game and die tbh,I know it long but I hope I make some sense lol

[@Newmikk]

There can be only one, only Connor MacLeod was the Highlander, nice video btw ;)

[@BladeRunnerBlues74]

French here, love for MacLeod and for Scotland ;) take care

[@craig260691]

I cant wait for the Highlander remake i hope they dont make a mess of it and hopefully christoper lambert will star in it too.

[@kanetidus]

the same i think to.I always love the first Highlander,i have seen like 20-30 times and maybe is the best because it have Queen music inside it.

[@kennybis03410]

Hey nice work mate!! and TRUE!! Connor is THE higlander! :-)

[@raulxwu]

this is the best soundtrack ever ...a magic voice ...i love this song

[@jol710]

In the end there can only be one. Conner Macleod of the clan Macleod.

[@StoneColdHunk]

Connor was a true hero. He gave his life for the ones he loved. He wanted Duncan to kill him because he knew that Duncan could beat Krill and at the end Connor wanted to go home. What i mean is he wanted to see he wife and be with the people of his time.

[@RoseScythe]

Heh heh, had to put in his laugh at the end didn't ya? Great job guys.

[@Bladestar7]

Good edit between the songs near the end. Very good job. Dont know if anyone caught that,but there were two versions of that song used for the HL films. Again great edit!!

[@kuribo1]

Brought a tear to me eye...:(

[@Tohru80]

beautiful piece of work. i loved it. it actually almost made me cry. while i love duncan, connor will always be the first, and best, macleod. the song choice could not have been better. perfect!

[@HomoErectum]

One thing that I love with Highlander is how easy and random he gets his wives. I wish Connor was the Highlander in all the movies

[@Yuri_Yslin]

there are many versions of Bonny Portmone, I almost can't count. This one is arguably the prettiest.

[@vinygee1]

fantastic job.... But there can only be one!

[@HeavyMetalPL]

There Can Be Only One! Hail you Connor!

[@mimtramposo]

Conor forever.thid is You memories.forever

[@Bladestar7]

I am aware of Loreena Mkennit's. What i meant the two singers who sing the two versions. The second singer sang bonny portmore in the highlander Finale and the Highlander Endgame. Again great work!!

[@VienenburgAngel]

Sehr schön gemacht! Ich liebe diesen Film. Sehr emotional, der Song ist deshalb total zum Film passend!

[@drober]

MaaaaacLeeeeooood!!!!!! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!

[@adaoluissilva7307]

My true brother love tou Forever

[@QigongQi]

Connor made a few appearances on the Series. The saddest one is when Duncan loses his Lakota wife, had to lay her on a pyre, and Duncan and Connor talk, heartbreaking. Loreena McKennitt, still does the beat version of "Bonny Portmore,"but this one is pretty sweet.

[@karlt10]

Cool - thanks raven - haven't seen THAT version. With Blockbuster shutting-down, I should stop-by and see what they may have. Thanks again!

Chris Lambert was born in United States, tho he's a French. Thus his English was already good that time. I think his Scottish accent was okay too, though not so thick. But oh man... his smile never fades! He's my school-girl crush since I was 12!

[@thewizard747]

You forgot to put some Highlander 2 vids in...But it is still good :). All four Highlanders are good. I think the order of the story line is 1, then 3, then 2, and then 4. Well thats how I watch them. Good vid, made me almost cry. All four are really good films I,II,III,IV, Love em.

[@thejimm2009]

Wow. I didn't know that. I've been to France and Germany. One day I want to see Scotland and Ireland too. And yes, it's a beautiful song. :)

[@thejimm2009]

Wonderful video. It makes me remember how much i love the original Highlander. My great grandfather was a MacKintosh, from Inverness. As a Scot, i would like to think the blood of the Highlanders flows through my veins.I believe that's why i feel such a strong connection to the movie. And Bonny Portmore is such a beautiful song. Again, Thank you.

[@tyraela115]

@witt127 Moreover one could quote James Dean:"Dream as if you`ll live forever and live as if you`ll die today." As for the song it`s so beautifull, powerfull and deep beyond words. It really touched the very essence of my soul.
