Serious question about Highlander "holy ground" rules...




Hello there. I recently became an immortal. There's another immortal in my town who works at a Chick-fil-a.

Can I fight him there? Or is that considered "holy ground"?

reply

Only if it's not Sunday.

Just fight him outside in the parking lot where all the gay guys are protesting by making out with each other. Lopping off their heads by mistake will just be considered collateral by the human race.

"Holy Ground" has to be recognized as such by the immortals themselves.

The OP is joking, but in the series intro, Joe says, "He is safe only on holy ground," while Duncan approaches a crucifix. Problem is, that's NOT holy ground. It's a Templar museum, which is why Duncan can fight the Spandau Ballet brother there.

In any case, the first Duncan film reveals that "holy ground" is, like Ramirez told Connor, "tradition," and nothing more.
