>>211610644>It's weird why they would do that.They wanted the show to go on as long as possible, and at the time they had two options:
Make the series a prequel to the original, which means Duncan would have to die at some point, or throw all that shit out the window and do their own thing.
You can see why they would choose the later. Also Highlander III came out not too long afterwards, so it more or less set a necessary precedent to keep the franchise going.
>>211611046Probably because Queen made the soundtrack of the first film, so they really wanted to leverage that connection to rock music. They probably would have tried to get Freddie myself if he had lived.
