| Character back story:
Connor Macleod was born in 1518 in the Highlands of Scotland. In 1536, after facing a mysterious, evil opponent, he survives a fatal stab wound and is banished from his village, for they believe his survival is the work of the Devil. Five years later, Macleod is met by Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, a swordsman who teaches Macleod the awful truth; he is immortal, one of a race of many who can only die when the head is cut from the body. When one immortal takes the head of another, the loser's power is absorbed into the winner. Ramirez teaches Macleod the ways of the sword, until Ramirez is tragically killed by Connor's ultimate opponent, the evil Kurgan, a murderous immortal brute who lusts for the ultimate power of the immortals, "The Prize"; enough power to rule the earth forever. Connor fights his way through the centuries, until the time of the Gathering, when the few immortals who have survived the endless battles come together to fight until only one remains, and that winner will receive The Prize. The time: 1985. The place: New York City. The final fight is about to begin, and in the end, there can be only one. | Inspiration for character:

Christopher Lambert spent time with a dialogue coach, developing an accent which sounded non-specifically foreign
Christopher Lambert had just barely learned to speak English when he took this role. The only other English-speaking film he had been in at point was Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), in which he spoke only a few words.
Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert got along so well during filming that they called each other by their characters' names even when they were not filming and it was at Lambert's insistence that Connery and his character returned for the sequel.
The brandy scene with Macleod and Brenda was inspired by Russel Mulcyh`s dinner with Jim Steinman.
Two of the main characters of the film has played different versions of the Mortal Kombat character Rayden. Clancy Brown provided his voice for Rayden in Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm" (1995)
And Christopher Lambert played Lord Rayden in Mortal Kombat (1995), both released the same year. |
