Same thing with the third movie where Mario was bricked up for a few centuries. If he's still in there, on earth, alive how did Connor become the Only One in the first movie? It just sucked.
an immortal can be removed from the "GAME" by remaining on Wholly Ground as Duncan McLeod did,
or if imprisoned in such a manner that they are 100% inaccessible.

this is why the immortals the the watchers held captive,
beginning after Conner McLeod's second coming,
kept the game from reaching it's conclusion because the immortals that
they held captive were still vulnerable.

in the Renegade Version the immortals are much older race than mortal man.
with interbreeding with mortal women some mortals gain the moral gene but must died a violent death or it remains dormant.

the immortals were fighting a war for leadership in the distant past,
the strongest were dispatched and scattered though out time by their elder counsel to fight for the "Prize", which is complete rule over the earth.

the immortals do have a measure of power that most would consider supernatural but when they were scattered through out time all knowledge of their past lives is hidden from them.
although some have pieced together more than others;
this maybe linked to the amount of time they spend with their heads in place.
