Notes
Goofs:
Factual errors: The Bagpipes seen in the early part of the film are the wrong style. These are 'Regulation' pattern pipes, which only came into being about 1850, pipes from the time frame of the movie should be 'Chalice' pattern, ie, the top of the drone should look like a wine glass. (more)

Trivia:
Non-American versions of this film include a WWII flashback sequence showing MacLeod rescuing Rachel, where he tells her "It's a kind of magic". The scene is included on the "Immortal" edition DVD. (more)
