Jack Palance plays the part like a snake. Brilliant acting.
'You're low down lying yankee'
'Prove it!'
The Final shoot out.
Shane says similar to Wilson (Jack Palance).
'I've heard that you're a low down yankee liar'.
'Prove it!'
I read the book years ago. Shane returns to his days of gun fighting after trying to leave his violent past behind, knowning that is what he is, part of the old west, a gun fighter. As Shane says 'There's no going back'.
The little guy also got ruffed up by Bogart in" Maltese Falcon..!" A great character actor in any role. Many "B"western movie stars in the series westerns always wore gloves...Tim Holt, Autry, Hoppy,Bill Elliott,Tex Ritter,etc... even Smiley Burnette. Giving their lines,they had to do something with their hands,certainly not smoke because of the kids in the audience. They kept pulling on their cuffs of their gloves, that they already had on.
he was not the only gunman in western to wear gloves but it is still one of the greatest scenes in westerns everything about it from start to finish except the damn gloves so there you are there is one moment in Tombstone a truly bad western except for Val Kilmer who is terrific in it where Kilmer taps his gun in a little grace note to heigten the tension but hell Palance carried tension all on his own here without that glove thing
there were a few moments in Shane all too few that rivaled and maybe even Surpassed almost but the very best of Ford but then Ford had his longueurs too
this is one great scene and Palance was perfect even though the gloves mar the scene as well as intensity it nobody is going to draw a gun with gloves lose all the feel of it
@doctornoooo thats what I posted a while back and people gave me crap for it....whats with putting on thick leather gloves to draw a gun? You couldn't even get your finger through the trigger guard. I think it was just for effect.....Palance working up to killing him, the walk, the attitude, the black gloves
The scene Bill Hicks is referring to is John T Chance (John Wayne) in Rio Bravo "you want that gun, pick it up". I think Bill Hicks made it funnier using Palance instead.
The scene where Jack Palance rides into town on that undersized horse, It gave his character an air of cruelty that he wore proudly. The director wanted Jack to come into town fast & on a large menacing horse, intimidating. But Jack was deathy afraid of horses and wouldn't get near the large snorting beast they wanted him to ride , so they bring out another horse a bit smaller & not so agressive a posture. Still no go, finally they decide on this runt of a horse ,a sweetheart,
. And then the director decided to change the tone of the scene and have Jack ride in slowly ,dwarfing the little horse,smiling ,like he enjoyed making the poor animal labor
To rcodenbach - Director Stevens said he amplified the gun shot sounds throughout the movie for major shock affect. He was a WWII hero (Silver Star, I believe) so he would know the blast of a gunshot is a violent thing to hear. - See my comedy videos on my YouTube Channel.
First of all. Rest In Peace Bill Hicks..your dearly missed in hell (earth) ;) second of all what kinda gun is this?! because last i checked gunshots do NOT sound like getting struck by lightning xP and of course the thunder is the shot. i lmao everytime i hear it..
Elisha Cook Jr. was always getting shot or beat up but apparently he made a pretty good living at it, mostly dwelling in a cabin someplace and tying trout flies. At least in Magnum P.I. he got to be a power character. I'll always love his somewhat slimy performance in the Maltese Falcon.
everything about this movie was great! casting, scenery, even the inside of the saloon and of course the opening theme music "the call of the far away hills". a true westen classic !!
"We're like Jack Palance in the movie Shane throwing the pistol at the sheep herder's feet. Pick it up! I don't wanna pick it up mister you'll shoot me. Pick up the gun! Mister I don't want no trouble huh I just came down town here to get some hard rock candy for my kids and some Gingham for my wife...I don't even know what Ginham is but she goes through 10 rolls of that stuff a week. I aint lookin for no trouble mister. Pick up the gun! *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* You all saw him he had a gun."
@bulldog8459 Unfortunately not in Shane it could be a mixture of westerns that Bill Hicks used to make that little piece. I don't really know. Just look for Bill Hicks he had a gun.
Frank Sinatra acting drunk and getting beat up won the oscar over this guy, can you believe that? Yeah, that's a real acting stretch for someone like Sinatra. Like giving an Oscar to Michael Moore for acting fat. To this day nobody has even come close to Palance as a villian in a Western, nobody! He is the devil in black, yet Sinatra wins. Hellooo, Mr. Giancana, I should vote for whom?
The utter hoplessness of Stonewall's fate is played to perfection by both actors. Its such a powerful and moving scene.
Apart from the exceution of Stonewall and the defeat by Shane, Jack Palance as Wilson does very little (apart from look menacing) but is remembered as one of the all time villains.
In an interview Sam Peckinpah said he was very impressed by the realism in this sequence , Jack Palance 's interpretaion of the cold - blooded gunslinger Wilson is brilliant
@Rapappport And what a scene it is. As to Paramount, not realizing the advertising value of those clips, may they be tormented in their dreams by Wilson.
Thanks for the invite, but, looking at your education I'm not worthy. :-)
@Finkelgruber LOL "tormented in their dreams by Wilson". You might be right! I wonder if the reason for deleting the "Exciting Ending to 'Shane'" scene in "Shane" was b/c of the continuous, gross and foul language made by several serial posters on the "comments" there for the past month..I wish we could get it back on You Tube somehow. It wasn't just the movie scene but also the great comments made by its many fans, until the past month or so. It's fun talking about it with others! worthy
@Rapappport Yes, these moronic posters spoil it for everyone. It is sad when the precious 'freedom of speech' gift is abused in such a disgusting way by these pathetic, sad people.
Why You-Tube allows offensive, disgusting language to be posted is odd because it is not benefitting anyone and depicts You-Tube as a place where every twisted mind can vent and display their gross state of mind.

@Finkelgruber "Thanks for the invite, but, looking at your education I'm not worthy. :-)" hey, no way! Anyway, I've forgotten almost everything that I've learned in my edjumacashun. You probably know a wider range of things than I, and I focus in on just a few things at a time. I can no longer multitask - this from a man who drove a taxi in NYC in the late 60's....
@Rapappport I doubt that you have forgotten much of your 'edjumacashun'. I am lucky, because I hardly had any to forget, ha ha ha ! But it's true, I rather be a Jack of all trades than a Master of only one.
@Finkelgruber I have focused on mainly one thing at a time during all but the first degree in my many lifetimes and careers. Obsessive? probably. Once I change interests, I really change interests and hone in on the new one to find out all I can learn and act on it. Each time, I worked for long-term change and to make a difference and was successful. In "Shane" the 'steaders had to obsess on Ryker. With Wilson in, the obsess was w/survival. Shane, obsessed, handled that prob with his gun.
@Rapappport Yes, we all 'obsess' in one way or another over persons or things. And often too, when we look back, those things where not even that important, to do any obsessing about.
However in the heat of the moment, be that in 'Shane' or in a global situation, obsessions can lead to serious confrontations. I think the trick, and difficulty, is to find the right balance and if it can not be found or achieved, move on to seek it elsewhere, just as Shane did.
@Stereolabdream He really was. I can't think of a single movie he turned in a bad performance in. I'm partial to The Big Sleep myself, but The Killing is great and of course Shane is a classic.
you must read the book - i read it in the 7th grade 1961 - saw the movie went it came out - you must get the dvd and listen to george stevens jr. commentary about his father and the making of the movie - to me that is the "best" western ever & the best final gunfight in movie history
The Headlock Move was like this: I would quickly throw my right arm up behind his head, then turn and twist and bring him down, Then I would lock my hands and arms and squeeze tighter and tighter. Most of the guys were bigger and older, but they could not squeeze nor wrestle back b/c it happened so quickly. Most gave when their heads turned red. I did not hurt any of them, just defending myself, at the time shorter and younger.
Once I felt sorry 4 1, so I let go, then he did the same to me.
@Rapappport Had a guy try that on me once,before he started to go down i grabbed his feet and did an anklepick,we both landed on our back but he hit his head on a rock and i hadnt noticed yet when i rolled over and put my arms around for a chokehold.I had been cradleing his head in my choke for a second when i realised there was a LOT of blood coming from his temple when he hit the rock.I set him down he came to in a minute and got medical later.felt bad for hurting him even though i was right
@DemonofdaDesert Nice defense with the ankle pick! You were just defending yourself. I wonder if he would have done the same with you?
I not only had to use the headlock move, but if attacked, had to use my feet and legs. Some fellow patrol boys guys were threatening me on the way almost home. One I headlocked down, but the other one had a large rock. I used my feet and legs to control and disable him. Kind of like a scissor lock in real wrestling - Antonia Rocca for one. Ya did good!
@Rapappport Hi Rappaport. This is like Hitchcock but I had to change my identity, there were some strange things going on with my old Yamsid identity, which is really surprising because I'm just a harmless old nobody. Nothing lost, really, but I didn't want to lose contact with the only Shane expert I know.Best.
@Rapappport Do you mean how Shane reacted when Brandon Dewilde worked the action on his rifle? I think that scene was important to the overall theme of the movie, showing the definite down side of the gunfighter life ... the constant fear of ambush or being back shot. It helps explain why Shane would want to pack it in and try a quiet life on the farm. Best.
@deriter64 Yes, then, almost at the beginning. You describe it right. Some kinda nighmare was following him, at least in his mind. Consider the possibility that someone(s) was following him - "the constant fear of ambush or being back shot". My guess is that the law was after him - maybe so, maybe not - but as he says in the final shootout scene. Shane, angry, says that he knows that his kinda days are over. He gave up a good quiet life and a family to shoot and be moving on - a fugitive.
@Rapappport Hi Rapapport, I suppose that's the high tragedy of the Shane plot which can still make me dewy eyed after five decades ... that Shane had to give up the peace he'd found to use his skill as a gunfighter to protect the people he'd grown to love. Sort of the essence of the classic Hero in literature. Wonder what Brandon deWilde's character would have remembered about Shane 40 years after?
@sventoby The movie nor the book says that Shane died. He did get a left shoulder gunshot wound in a gun fight with 3 armed men, all of whom he killed. Whether he survived his wound we will not know. It's still part of the mystery of "Shane".....
@hlimkb You are right about the odds. I still wonder why Tory did not fire his gun. He had it out and there was a pause.... Some say that this fight was between a good person and good people - the face of it - against pure evil.
Shane had the advantage - maybe a 60-40 chance - b/c he was an unknown, w/no traceable past experience and was - surprise! - a very fast gun, maybe the fastest ever.
@hlimkb Shane was out of practice for at least 3 months, although we will never know that. How much did a gunfighter have to practice?
"Warlock" shows that.
What is a "white one"?
The Director portrayed the film as well as anyone, even better. He had a way of choosing his cast - most obscure, before or after - to interact in ways we all loved
@hlimkb Right, Ryker was slow and way too long out of practice, given the new law.
The book, and we can see it in the movie, says Shane turned and "like a finger pointing", shot Ryker. Did Ryker get a shot off? Who shot Shane in the left shoulder?
I always remember Shane being in black and white, am I remembering it wrong or has this been colourised? This is the first time I got the North-South context of the movie, funny what you miss as a kid!
@crash669 I saw it with my Dad at age 12. Dad was an avid western book reader and western movie fan. I recall it was in color because of the bright blue sky at times. Most John Wayne and other westerns were in black and white before and at the time.
The N-S context I did not note at the time, but when I watched it again in the 1990's, I saw the connection, especially in this scene.
I believe Bill Hicks was confused/mistaken with his quote.... what he quoted is not in this movie... The scene he quotes does sound familiar, and this scene is kinda close to what he describes. He likely confused another movie with this one.... or just remembered it wrong.
The director, George Stevens, wanted the guns in Shane to be more than just guns, but he wanted them to sound like weapons of destruction. They got the sound effect by firing cannons into trash cans. That's why in this scene, the scene where Shane shows Joey how to shoot and in the final showdown, the gunshots are so shockingly loud. In this scene, the gunshot sounds like death.
@jonlga I've been on the wrong end of a gun 4 times. One shot a friend inside. Wow, was that loud. Have you shot a gun? The sound is extremely loud and scary.
Stevens did his best to make the gunfire as loud as it is actually. Notice how he also shows what happens when someone is shot - how they are carried backwards from the strength of the bullet.
@Rapappport LOL Bullets don't have the 'strength' to knock someone down, it is pure Hollywood fantasy. Don't believe me? It is simple physics: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If a bullet had the momentum to knock a person down, it would knock the person firing the weapon down from the recoil.
@famapublica Go to the web and search on "Getting shot by a handgun". A bullet to the heart or head can make a victim reel back and fall down.
The shooter does not necessarily fall down from the recoil. It depends on his/her control over the gun and, just like police today use 2 hands to minimize the recoil, an experienced gunfighter has already learned about recoil and keeps full control and bracing.
@Rapappport Do a search on the web of 'Does a bullet have the power to knock someone down' or read the still definitive study on the effects of handgun wounds. It is called "Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness" by FBI Special Agent Patrick Urey. It is available ob the web. Or shoot a a 5 gal bucket of water with a .45 Colt, or .45 ACP it will not be knocked down. Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon, so if a bullet won't knock it back, how can it knock a human down?
@Rapappport No one can 'brace' themselves for the recoil that would give a bullet enough momentum to knock someone down. Only guns mounted on wheels have that kind of power, you know cannons.
@fam I've seen a number of people shot by handguns. Some of them dropped dead. Some of them were displaced backwards a bit and fell to the ground. A .38 or .45 caliber has large caliber bullets. If they hit someone in the chest, it's like hitting them with a baseball bat, and it can knock them off their feet AT CLOSE RANGE. The impact of the round against the surface of the body causes it.
@xxashyy While impossible and inappropriate to compare or do, my bet would be on Wilson on a one-on-one with any Eastwood character, except Clint in "High Plains Drifter", though Clint was not human in that "Avenging Angel" role.
Does this possibility make Shane the best gunfighter ever in filmdom?
Check out gunfighters in "Warlock", "One-eyed Jacks" and "The Fastest Gun Alive"...
@hschan4 Hey, hey, watch it , you are sailing close to insulting Southernes, who have just as many good (or bad) people as anyone else. Besides, Wilson (Palance)used his insults only to provoke that Torry to draw his gun.
@Finkelgruber Wilson bet 100% on Torry being a "hothead" about the "Civil War" and Southerners. it was an easy target.
Little did he or the Rykers know what Shane could and would do.... For Shane to say "You're a low-down Yankee Liar", he challenged Wilson to the quick.
@Rapappport I'm too lazy to check it up, but I'm sure at the time (of the movie 'Shane') the North/South Civil War issue was still very fresh and raw with peoples feelings and Wilson took advantage of that.
As to 'self-obsessed' gunfighters, I think they did not care about any political/war issues, but used them to tricker responses.
@Finkelgruber It was a very hot issue. President Lincoln, right after the war, offered anyone, North or South, to homestead for free (40 acres I think, maybe more) in the West. Those who settled there had lots of baggage. Many did not make it b/c of the hard conditions. Still, it changed the West forever, and Ryker had to compromise, which he could not do. "Your kinda days are over."
Kinda weird tho, that he had a government beef contract and the homesteaders backed by government too.
@Rapappport I guess the ability to gauge an opponent is one of the skills of a professional gunman like Wilson and poor old Torry was pretty transparent. I always had the impression that Wilson though he would take Shane, right up to the moment the first .45 slug slammed him against the wall. So did the others apparently: "I wouldn't pull on Wilson if I were you Shane."
@yamsid Right - they did not know what hit them ! Wilson is surprised at Shane's insult ("lowdown Yankee LIAR"). Wilson smiles and has no fear, seeming to be amused but puzzled by him, while Shane is swallowing hard before he faces Wilson with the call out. Notice how Shane bends his head right just before he has to draw, as if he is scolding Wilson as a "bad boy".
Does Shane know that he can win the fight against three others? I say yes, but we will never know for sure. He does it tho'
@Rapappport Hello Rapapport. I've noticed there are a number of other postings of "best scenes" etc. so we're not totally shut out. Incidentally, I've read recently that Montgomery Cliiff was first sought for the role of Shane. Much as I admire Cliff, and he could play a gunfighter (Red River), he just wouldn't have worked. His approach was too tentative, especially when Shane made up his mind to fight. And then again nobody was Shane but Alan Ladd. Best.
Nobody played the bad guy better than Jack Palance and he was perfect playing Wilson in this film. I miss these great actors who have now passed away. Who have we got to fill their shoes nowadays....Tom Cruise?....Keanu Reeves? LOL
Yes, in the real old west there were very few stand-up in the street gun fights. Most gunfighters got their reputations from bushwacking, or drygulching their victims.
Even talented gunfighters knew there was too must risk in a fair fight.
Notice how Wilson (Palace) has the foresight to be walking on duckboards, on dry footing a foot and a half above Stonewall, who's in the mud. Wilson's gun is only a little bit higher than Stonewall's when he fires, but Stonewall couldn't have hit Wilson in the foot.
Most gun violence in the Old West was like this - one side was either firing from ambush, or had a clear advantage, it was more like an execution than a duel.
@skyangel1965 Although the settings were very realisticly depicted in 'Shane', the classic gun fights duels as portrait in most movies probably never happened in that way, but 'Shane' should not be seen as a documentary, but more like a legend, a myth - of the eternal fight between Light and Darkness.
@Carandini I recall seeing him as a bank teller in "One-eyed Jacks", a 1968 western with Brando and Ben Johnson. I've only seen afterwards the other actors - besides the Shane actors "Starret, Wilson and Calloway - in only a few other movies, 3 max, most 1.
Haha that's gonna lead to a suck ass relationship with film. Your gonna end up reading highschool text books for entertainment. You wanna see a realistic movie, go watch Gomorrah. As realistic as they come.
Ciudad de Deus is the most realistic film I've watched, and some things in Gomorrah remind heavily on thet Brazilian masterpiece. If you haven't watched it, I recommend it by all means.
"Gomorra" is the spelling, unless your in the UK and yes I loved it very much and it was the most "real" interpretation of events I have ever seen in a crime film. "Ciudad de Deus" is a brilliant film and the best of the decade your absolutely right. "City of God" was not realistic though, I mean it could really happen but it's interpretation was highly stylized, which I liked. If you wanna see a movie with complete realism, watch "My Dinner With Andre". That's as real as it gets.
You all saw him. He had a gun.

@Finkelgruber LOL "tormented in their dreams by Wilson". You might be right! I wonder if the reason for deleting the "Exciting Ending to 'Shane'" scene in "Shane" was b/c of the continuous, gross and foul language made by several serial posters on the "comments" there for the past month..I wish we could get it back on You Tube somehow. It wasn't just the movie scene but also the great comments made by its many fans, until the past month or so. It's fun talking about it with others! worthy

@Rapappport Yes, these moronic posters spoil it for everyone. It is sad when the precious 'freedom of speech' gift is abused in such a disgusting way by these pathetic, sad people.
Why You-Tube allows offensive, disgusting language to be posted is odd because it is not benefitting anyone and depicts You-Tube as a place where every twisted mind can vent and display their gross state of mind.

Finkelgruber 1 year ago
@Finkelgruber I have focused on mainly one thing at a time during all but the first degree in my many lifetimes and careers. Obsessive? probably. Once I change interests, I really change interests and hone in on the new one to find out all I can learn and act on it. Each time, I worked for long-term change and to make a difference and was successful. In "Shane" the 'steaders had to obsess on Ryker. With Wilson in, the obsess was w/survival. Shane, obsessed, handled that prob with his gun.
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport Yes, we all 'obsess' in one way or another over persons or things. And often too, when we look back, those things where not even that important, to do any obsessing about.
However in the heat of the moment, be that in 'Shane' or in a global situation, obsessions can lead to serious confrontations. I think the trick, and difficulty, is to find the right balance and if it can not be found or achieved, move on to seek it elsewhere, just as Shane did.
the right balance

The Headlock Move was like this: I would quickly throw my right arm up behind his head, then turn and twist and bring him down, Then I would lock my hands and arms and squeeze tighter and tighter. Most of the guys were bigger and older, but they could not squeeze nor wrestle back b/c it happened so quickly. Most gave when their heads turned red. I did not hurt any of them, just defending myself, at the time shorter and younger.
Once I felt sorry 4 1, so I let go, then he did the same to me.

@Rapappport Had a guy try that on me once,before he started to go down i grabbed his feet and did an anklepick,we both landed on our back but he hit his head on a rock and i hadnt noticed yet when i rolled over and put my arms around for a chokehold.I had been cradleing his head in my choke for a second when i realised there was a LOT of blood coming from his temple when he hit the rock.I set him down he came to in a minute and got medical later.felt bad for hurting him even though i was right
DemonofdaDesert 1 year ago
@DemonofdaDesert Nice defense with the ankle pick! You were just defending yourself. I wonder if he would have done the same with you?
I not only had to use the headlock move, but if attacked, had to use my feet and legs. Some fellow patrol boys guys were threatening me on the way almost home. One I headlocked down, but the other one had a large rock. I used my feet and legs to control and disable him. Kind of like a scissor lock in real wrestling - Antonia Rocca for one. Ya did good!

@deriter64 What things? We are in contact. About "Shane", why was Shane so spooked at first, reaching for his gun fast.
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport Do you mean how Shane reacted when Brandon Dewilde worked the action on his rifle? I think that scene was important to the overall theme of the movie, showing the definite down side of the gunfighter life ... the constant fear of ambush or being back shot. It helps explain why Shane would want to pack it in and try a quiet life on the farm. Best.
deriter64 1 year ago
@deriter64 Yes, then, almost at the beginning. You describe it right. Some kinda nighmare was following him, at least in his mind. Consider the possibility that someone(s) was following him - "the constant fear of ambush or being back shot". My guess is that the law was after him - maybe so, maybe not - but as he says in the final shootout scene. Shane, angry, says that he knows that his kinda days are over. He gave up a good quiet life and a family to shoot and be moving on - a fugitive.
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport Hi Rapapport, I suppose that's the high tragedy of the Shane plot which can still make me dewy eyed after five decades ... that Shane had to give up the peace he'd found to use his skill as a gunfighter to protect the people he'd grown to love. Sort of the essence of the classic Hero in literature. Wonder what Brandon deWilde's character would have remembered about Shane 40 years after?
deriter64 1 year ago 2
@deriter64 That is the high tragedy. In the end, what did Shane get out of the deal?
Alone, on the run again and wounded to defend a family, who's fellow Homesteaders (a few) did not accept him.
If he had let Joe Starret go into town alone, he would have been "inherited" permanently Marion and Little Joe - the whole kabusha.
Why didn't Shane AND Starret go in together?

Rapappport 1 year ago
@deriter64 "Wonder what Brandon deWilde's character would have remembered about Shane 40 years after?"
He would never have forgotten Shane. The book says that "The folks around town later were talking about Shane, still wondering who the h*** he was.
"Who was he?" They never knew what happened nor who he was, but the gossip was flowing big time!
The best they could come up with was maybe a "Shannon", an infamous gambler and gunfighter back in Arkansas and Texas.
He remains an unknown...

wilson got the high ground n he already pick his target,
the other party was on low ground although he serve in the military,was not a fast gun,unprepared n provoked causing loss of concentration.
hence the odds were 1 chance in 1000 he can beat wilson.
In the saloon scene shane got a 50 to 50 chance of beating wilson cause he came unexpected n was a gunfighter himself
hlimkb 1 year ago
@hlimkb You are right about the odds. I still wonder why Tory did not fire his gun. He had it out and there was a pause.... Some say that this fight was between a good person and good people - the face of it - against pure evil.
Shane had the advantage - maybe a 60-40 chance - b/c he was an unknown, w/no traceable past experience and was - surprise! - a very fast gun, maybe the fastest ever.
They didn't know what hit them.
We will never know....

@crash669 I saw it with my Dad at age 12. Dad was an avid western book reader and western movie fan. I recall it was in color because of the bright blue sky at times. Most John Wayne and other westerns were in black and white before and at the time.
The N-S context I did not note at the time, but when I watched it again in the 1990's, I saw the connection, especially in this scene.
Yes, funny what we miss or don't recall as kids.

I believe Bill Hicks was confused/mistaken with his quote.... what he quoted is not in this movie... The scene he quotes does sound familiar, and this scene is kinda close to what he describes. He likely confused another movie with this one.... or just remembered it wrong.

tdp1909 1 year ago
The director, George Stevens, wanted the guns in Shane to be more than just guns, but he wanted them to sound like weapons of destruction. They got the sound effect by firing cannons into trash cans. That's why in this scene, the scene where Shane shows Joey how to shoot and in the final showdown, the gunshots are so shockingly loud. In this scene, the gunshot sounds like death.
jonlga 1 year ago
@jonlga I've been on the wrong end of a gun 4 times. One shot a friend inside. Wow, was that loud. Have you shot a gun? The sound is extremely loud and scary.
Stevens did his best to make the gunfire as loud as it is actually. Notice how he also shows what happens when someone is shot - how they are carried backwards from the strength of the bullet.
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport LOL Bullets don't have the 'strength' to knock someone down, it is pure Hollywood fantasy. Don't believe me? It is simple physics: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If a bullet had the momentum to knock a person down, it would knock the person firing the weapon down from the recoil.
famapublica 1 year ago
@famapublica Go to the web and search on "Getting shot by a handgun". A bullet to the heart or head can make a victim reel back and fall down.
The shooter does not necessarily fall down from the recoil. It depends on his/her control over the gun and, just like police today use 2 hands to minimize the recoil, an experienced gunfighter has already learned about recoil and keeps full control and bracing.
Have you been or have shot anybody?
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport Do a search on the web of 'Does a bullet have the power to knock someone down' or read the still definitive study on the effects of handgun wounds. It is called "Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness" by FBI Special Agent Patrick Urey. It is available ob the web. Or shoot a a 5 gal bucket of water with a .45 Colt, or .45 ACP it will not be knocked down. Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon, so if a bullet won't knock it back, how can it knock a human down?
famapublica 1 year ago
@Rapappport No one can 'brace' themselves for the recoil that would give a bullet enough momentum to knock someone down. Only guns mounted on wheels have that kind of power, you know cannons.
famapublica 1 year ago
@fam I've seen a number of people shot by handguns. Some of them dropped dead. Some of them were displaced backwards a bit and fell to the ground. A .38 or .45 caliber has large caliber bullets. If they hit someone in the chest, it's like hitting them with a baseball bat, and it can knock them off their feet AT CLOSE RANGE. The impact of the round against the surface of the body causes it.
Rapappport 1 year ago
Jack Palance was simply badass in this movie. He had the best lines. He reminds me of Clint Eastwood.

@xxashyy While impossible and inappropriate to compare or do, my bet would be on Wilson on a one-on-one with any Eastwood character, except Clint in "High Plains Drifter", though Clint was not human in that "Avenging Angel" role.
Does this possibility make Shane the best gunfighter ever in filmdom?
Check out gunfighters in "Warlock", "One-eyed Jacks" and "The Fastest Gun Alive"...

@Finkelgruber Wilson bet 100% on Torry being a "hothead" about the "Civil War" and Southerners. it was an easy target.
Little did he or the Rykers know what Shane could and would do.... For Shane to say "You're a low-down Yankee Liar", he challenged Wilson to the quick.
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport I'm too lazy to check it up, but I'm sure at the time (of the movie 'Shane') the North/South Civil War issue was still very fresh and raw with peoples feelings and Wilson took advantage of that.
As to 'self-obsessed' gunfighters, I think they did not care about any political/war issues, but used them to tricker responses.
Finkelgruber 1 year ago
@Finkelgruber It was a very hot issue. President Lincoln, right after the war, offered anyone, North or South, to homestead for free (40 acres I think, maybe more) in the West. Those who settled there had lots of baggage. Many did not make it b/c of the hard conditions. Still, it changed the West forever, and Ryker had to compromise, which he could not do. "Your kinda days are over."
Kinda weird tho, that he had a government beef contract and the homesteaders backed by government too.
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport I guess the ability to gauge an opponent is one of the skills of a professional gunman like Wilson and poor old Torry was pretty transparent. I always had the impression that Wilson though he would take Shane, right up to the moment the first .45 slug slammed him against the wall. So did the others apparently: "I wouldn't pull on Wilson if I were you Shane."
yamsid 1 year ago
@yamsid Right - they did not know what hit them ! Wilson is surprised at Shane's insult ("lowdown Yankee LIAR"). Wilson smiles and has no fear, seeming to be amused but puzzled by him, while Shane is swallowing hard before he faces Wilson with the call out. Notice how Shane bends his head right just before he has to draw, as if he is scolding Wilson as a "bad boy".
Does Shane know that he can win the fight against three others? I say yes, but we will never know for sure. He does it tho'
Rapappport 1 year ago
@Rapappport Hello Rapapport. I've noticed there are a number of other postings of "best scenes" etc. so we're not totally shut out. Incidentally, I've read recently that Montgomery Cliiff was first sought for the role of Shane. Much as I admire Cliff, and he could play a gunfighter (Red River), he just wouldn't have worked. His approach was too tentative, especially when Shane made up his mind to fight. And then again nobody was Shane but Alan Ladd. Best.

Yes, in the real old west there were very few stand-up in the street gun fights. Most gunfighters got their reputations from bushwacking, or drygulching their victims.
Even talented gunfighters knew there was too must risk in a fair fight.
mjp2501 2 years ago
Notice how Wilson (Palace) has the foresight to be walking on duckboards, on dry footing a foot and a half above Stonewall, who's in the mud. Wilson's gun is only a little bit higher than Stonewall's when he fires, but Stonewall couldn't have hit Wilson in the foot.
Most gun violence in the Old West was like this - one side was either firing from ambush, or had a clear advantage, it was more like an execution than a duel.
skyangel1965 2 years ago
@skyangel1965 Although the settings were very realisticly depicted in 'Shane', the classic gun fights duels as portrait in most movies probably never happened in that way, but 'Shane' should not be seen as a documentary, but more like a legend, a myth - of the eternal fight between Light and Darkness.
