Not too long after that, the movie was gone from the theaters and I had heard that it was a commercial failure. At that time I was like, WTF, this movie was great. Sure enough, in later years the movie became a cult classic and several Highlander movies and a TV series were made. None of the other movies or TV series was able to capture the magic of the first movie. In retrospect, perhaps the first movie was poorly promoted or something and so it became a sleeper during its initial release in the theaters
