[9][10] the tagline, there can be only one, has carried on into pop culture. It implies that all immortals must fight and kill one another until only one remains standing This one shall receive the prize. After defeating the kurgan (clancy brown), connor macleod absorbs his power and wins the prize And since the source was a dodgy attempt to get out of there can be only one, it hit other complications Only a pure, truly good immortal can get the prize
There can only be one reference to the highlander movie and telvision series, where a race of immortals try to behead each other in single combat for a mystical prize I was playing as a red master chief first, there can only be one. The there can be only one trope as used in popular culture “there can be only one” or “there can only be one” Aside from being accurate in quoting from highlander i had never really given much thought to the construction of this phrase, but i recently overheard a discussion in which one of the protagonists was adamant that there is a subtle difference in meaning between the two versions.
