At the start of Endgame we see Jacob Kell's Immortals kill at Sanctuary which is holy ground. Then Jacob Kell kills the other restrained Immortals there.
I know Kell ignores the rules of the game and that is how he gained such power, but wouldnt that mysterious force that saved Connor from Kane in Highlander 3 stop Kell and the other Immortals?
Apparently being "really eiiiiiiiiviiiiiil" was enough for him to break the rules.
Fans didn't like this at all, so in the "Producer's Cut" they removed Methos' line about it being on Holy Ground. So apparently it was just a basement that Connor and the other's were doped up in.
Of course that begs the question of why Connor or any of those others thought they could be "safe" in such a place if it wasn't at least on Holy Ground. He'd have been better off just joining a monastery (like many Immortals did in the TV series).

you can kill on holy ground. methos said so in the series, it's just that there's repercussions. like the time one immortal killed another on holy ground near Vesuvius and destroyed pompeii
shareAh yes, thanks for reminding me. Of course in the other installments when they want the bad guy to be able to be a threat on holy ground they toss that aside and apparently there aren't any consequences at all.
So in Highlander III Kane gets a little scared as Connor's sword disintegrates and the glass breaks in a Buddhist shrine and the candles blow out, but that's it. In Endgame they kill with absolute impunity on holy ground (though the "producers cut" removes a line to get around this but gives no explanation for the plothole of the sanctuary).

Jacob Kell didn't give a damn about the rules or "The Prize". All he cared about was vengeance and making Connor McLeod's life a living hell.
shareand after Kell did all his killing on holy ground ... The Source happend.
Now you know who is responsible ;)

I always thought repercussions for killing on holy ground was dumb. The way Ramirez explained it, it was clear the writer's intention was they all respected that rule, because they themselves wanted a safe haven.
Much like before playing freeze tag as a kid, it's agreed upon beforehand what's considered base.
If I was going to have there be repercussions, I would just have it be something like the quickening wouldn't happen on holy ground. So any incentive to kill someone there would be pretty much gone, and it would be more or less safe ground.
