The world of the immortals in Highlander has had a complicated mythology from the very beginning. In the original 1986 film, thanks to a moody and iconic voiceover from Sean Connery, we learned that all the immortals eventually will have to "battle to the last," and when one immortal was left, that person would gain "the Prize." And so - spoiler alert - Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) became the last immortal, and that was that. Well, not really.

In Shubert Alley, which runs between West Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Streets, Jeremy Irons, dressed in a tweed cap turned backward and three artfully arranged layers of European workwear, pointed to a patch of asphalt beneath the marquee of the Booth Theatre. "This is where I used to argue with the police that I should be allowed to park my motorcycle. But they made me put it in the damn car park up the street," he said.
