The Highlander universe is built on a series of rules that govern the actions of its characters. They've been built over time and even changed over time, as the franchise has developed through the Highlander movies with Connor MacLeod and Highlander: The Series with Duncan MacLeod.

HIGHLANDER RULE 1: There Can Be Only One
HIGHLANDER RULE 2: Die To Live
HIGHLANDER RULE 3: Take his Head
HIGHLANDER RULE 4: The Quickening
HIGHLANDER RULE 5: The Gathering
HIGHLANDER RULE 6: Holy Ground
HIGHLANDER RULE 7: The Buzz
HIGHLANDER RULE 8: One On One
HIGHLANDER RULE 9: No Witnesses
HIGHLANDER RULE 10: No Children
HIGHLANDER RULE 11: The Water Problem

    Rule 12: Queen has to sing your theme song. You're not an official immortal until Freddie bellows for you.
  • @Scruffi
    The greatest movie review I ever read was for Highlander 2, in a newspaper in Athens, Ga. The entire review consisted of just one line. “There should have been only one.”
  • @jackwilliam4436
    Some veteran Immortals protect and team up with new Immortals not just to have allies, but to increase the probability that a 'good' Immortal wins the Game, for the sake of the Earth and its inhabitants.
  • @whyjnot420
    Sure, Highlander is more than just an excuse for people to run around NYC having sword fights. But it is one hell of a great excuse to do just that.
  • @robpegler6545
    Connor having "the ability to commune with animals and control them with his mind" is a bit of a stretch. He wasn't "controlling" the stag, he just seemed to be able to sense its energy/life force/aura/whatever. I think the point of that scene was to show that Immortals have a heightened sensitivity to the world around them, which probably ties into their ability to sense each other's presence (and could be a preview of the powers they'll gain if they win the Prize).
  • Of all people, I would trust Henry Cavill with our beloved Highlander franchise. I look forward to it
  • @gamescape7758
    In my head i like to think the guillotine was invented when humans kept encountering immortals that commited crimes and wouldn't die when executed.
  • The soundtrack to the first movie is the greatest thing to come out of the Highlander franchise. I mean who doesn't love Queen.
  • @flowrebaz6189
    A French man playing a Scottish character with a Scottish man playing an Egyptian that lived in Spain and still sounds Scottish. Seems legit.
  • Rule 11, You must fight to a Queen soundtrack, any fights that take place without them should be null and void
  • @TheGuamStacker
    For Rule 2. I thought I remember watching that an immortals' first death has to be one of trauma and violence and not of natural causes for them to activate their immortality.
  • @bad-people6510
    I don't know if Conner communed or controlled the stag, he just said he felt it. I always thought of that as an extension of the buzz, that if an immortal knows how, and concentrates, they can sense other living things as well as immortals. That the quickening is part of the life force of the world and immortals are at their core one with all living things, and that on winning the prize that manifests completely, giving a double meaning to "There can be only one."
  • @JamesRDavenport
    Another footnote: Immortals can be permanently injured in rare cases. Ex: Xavier St. Cloud losing a hand to Duncan. Or Kalas/Kurgan losing their singing voices when cut deep through the neck.
  • @ericthompson3982
    Ok, I loved the TV show and watched the entire thing in its initial run. But the movie is such bombastic fun that it will always and forever be my Highlander. Clancy Brown as Kurgan? Come on!
  • @chincrise
    He never controlled animals with his mind, he could just feel it’s life force.
  • @Whalewraith
    Worked better in the TV show. Great initial movie that was ruined totally by coming from space in the second one. The fact Christopher was both at the start and the end of the series really helped.
  • @spentcasing3990
    I work in Vancouver where the Highlander series was first filmed. One of the areas I worked was where Ducan Macloed's antique shop was. It's in an area known as Blood Alley. A lot of the buildings have been renovated in the area, but the alley looks more or less the same.
  • Highlander (1986) ‘There can be only one.’ Transformers (1986) ‘Til all are one.’
  • The rule about dueling is less a tradition or anything like that, and more a natural consequence of how the Quickening works. You can't share the power, so there's nothing really to be gained by helping another immortal in a fight.
