One of the coolest things about Access (the very small Highlander Con) that I attended back in '99 is that they had a panel that was handing ADL the remote control and having him talk at length about Duende.
It is, in many ways, a forgettable episode, but ADL's commentaries were both hilarious (in places) and insightful.
For that "final crazy fight scene" where it poured rain but they had to shoot anyway because they were out of time, they had told the (french) props people to put sand in the paint, to help with the footing.
They forgot.
Which ADL and AP discovered when they stepped on to the platform and damn near did the splits.
Also, there wasn't time to get rubber replicas of the rapiers made, so ADL and AP were going at it, on a surface as slick as ice, with real steel.
Finally they showed an outtake where ADL went down. I shit you not -- he literally dropped out of frame and it looked like somebody tossed a bucket of water up into it.
