I watched this as a kid with my dad back in the 70s. He said son you are about to watch one of the finest films of all time. He was right ! I have loved this movie ever since. I have watched it more than any other movie made. I know all the dialogue by heart and the scenery is still breath taking to watch. I still watch it at least once every year. To me not only the greatest western but greatest film of all time. Thank you dad . RIP
Was a big deal when this movie showed up on tv in the 70's. Was a family event. The next day my father would run lines with my brothers and me "and where do you think you're going...."
I am 72 male Australian ❤ my dad took me to see Shane when I was 5 🎉 1957!!! The film came out in 1953 and it defined me before my first year at school.
@@BlackKaweah I remember seeing an interview with Jack Palance of the making of Shane , said at the end of a days filming everyone to unwind had quit a few too many drinks , and Elisha Cook jr was so drunk he could barely stand up , Jack offered to help him get back to his trailer ( living quarters ) , they crossed the muddy street of the movie set, and then some. Elisha says i will be OK now. Jack said no no i will take you all the way to your door ! Elisha replied : No thanks, I have heard about you Hollywood types ...🤣🤣🤣!
Jack's like a predator toying with his prey the whole scene. His movements are precise, his body language is so confident yet so ready to spring, such brilliant acting
Just watched him in Companeros and had to come back to this scene. One of the all time great villain actors, he always brings something strange and inventive to his characters.
Yes, there are many cases where they forgot to give an Oscar to rightfully deserving actors ! Most probably the most glaring case is Tony Curtis - whose amazing acting from comedy to drama - has been overlooked for decades ! -
This has to be among the finest Western films of that golden era. The deathly suspense and the sheer tension created in the final showdown scene is still regarded as most memorable and unmatched among the Westerns !!
As Torrey lay dead in the mud " having the sound of the little bird i thought was clever > as one life is taken away, life all around continues on as normal !
I love that moment at 1.45 when Torrey and Wilson both freeze, Wilson smiling that creepy smile, not even looking at Torrey. When they move again, Wilson turns with smooth grace, while Torrey slips in the mud. It’s cinematic magic.
Jack Palance and his son lived in our little town in California for many years until they both passed on. Used to run into them around town regularly. He played an amazing bad I'll never forget in this movie.
@@venderstrat - With a face like his, he could Not be a HUGE Star (like Elisabeth Taylor or Brad Pitt) but he was a respected and liked actor, of mostly villainous characters (see him in 'Shane') !
The sudden thunder and dark cloud cover were by accident.. they thought they would have to retake the scene... but decided it added to the drama at just the right time...
Shane is one of the best Western films every made. Shane was filmed in Grand Teton National Park, which is one of the most beautiful places in the West.
This scene in particular never ceases to stop me in my tracks--so ahead of its time. Shot not on a soundstage but outdoors, muddy sloppiness everywhere, Torrey slipping in the mud, literally and figuratively on unsteady ground, Wilson menacing him, knowing exactly what he is going to instigate, and the way he smirks and annunciates his set-up line, "Prove it." Palance at his most menacing. The gunfight itself is no fight at all. When Torrey goes down, it is sudden, cold, into the slop, no glory, no prolonged drama with final last words--just quick, filthy death. This scene stands the test of time.
John Jeffire And the beauty of the Grande Tetons looking on to at least remind me , it wasn't meant to be this way! I can see by some posts they weren't even noticed ,'also reminding me that some people don't appreciate anything actually important!
tiffsaver my girlfriend and myself used to go to the big screen every Sunday night late movies to watch him in all the vampire/Dracula shows, we were scared stiff but kept going back every week lol
@@denisomahoney1546 He wasn't a great actor he just played himself, in real Life he was a bullying Bastard especially with the smaller actors, but he picked the wrong one when he tried to bully Burt Lancaster, he met more than his match, just like all bullies one day they come up against someone much harder as he did with BURT .by the way BURTS mother and father were from BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND.
Jack Palance's mirthless grin has been often imitated, but rarely equalled. Later contenders were Lee Van Cleef, Frances Nero and Lee Marvin. "Shane" is a great film.
Arguably one of the finest western film made in Hollywood,followed by The Searchers n Highnoon.Truly speaking Jack Palance at his best.Great acting of Alan Lad n Van Heflin.
Unforgiven is my second most favorite westers. "That's right, I'm William Money, I've killed women and children....I've killed most everything that walked or crawled at one time or other....and now, I'm here to to kill you Little Bill..."
The most evil part about Wilson here - more evil than the calculated baiting of a man to his death, more evil than the stone-cold smile - is that deliberate pause after he outdraws Stonewall. He doesn't just want to kill Stonewall, he wants Stonewall to know he's going to die, and draw out that moment of terror for as long as possible. I swear the only reason Stonewall tries to finish lifting his gun is to get it over with.
The finest moment in Jack Palance's very long career. A brilliantly staged scene right down to the smallest detail; it had a big influence on Sam Peckinpah's work.
love this film,has to be one of the most famous westerns of all time.by far my favorite alan ladd film.jack palance was like the ultimate gunfighter in this film,he had that cocky and mean stare and loved it when he said prove it before he drew.also big fan of ben johnson,who was really good in this.
parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho esta é sem dúvida uma das melhores cenas desse grande clássico do cinema Jack palance e elisha cook Jr estão perfeitos grandes atuações principalmente desse que é um dos maiores e melhores atores de todos os tempos Jack palance parabéns querido e saudoso grande ator vc sempre estará em nossos corações amantes da sétima arte obrigado
That sentence is the last one Wilson will hear soon after this. Low down Yankie liar. Simply the best must watch film for men ever. Magical stuff. If you don’t at least want to cry by the end of this film you ain’t complete.
hack parlance was a master at playing the bad guy that's why they him good money he was so convincing I'm sure his daughter had a different opinion of her father Rest in Peace my brother Jack!
I remember Palances scary granite jaw presence with that stare of a Psycho thrilled by the bloodshed caused by his gratuitous violence. The gunshot impact was eerily realistic, like it blew a hole in the man, so unlike the other shoot 'em up scenes in other westerns of the era, and more like a Sam Peckinpah signature scene before his time.
He was in real lift. Hurt other actors on the set intentionally. Men and women. Didn't pull his punches. Hurt Richard Widmark permanently: permanent back damage. Widmark was a gentle soul and said the only person he ever hated in Hollywood was Jack Palance. Evil guy.
This particular scene influenced a generation of directors. No one had shown a man getting shot that violently before. It opened a lot of eyes with its realism.
Real bad decision to engage in a gunfight with a gunfighter while you are standing on wet ground and he is standing well above you. He was at a profound disadvantage even if they were equally fast with the draw. No chance to win.
Sencillamente es uno de los mejores western de todos los tiempos reúne grandes talentos reúne un espectacular sitio de rodaje es un lujo para los mejores cinéfilos su calidad y dirección espectacular te lo dice juez del oeste
JACK PALANCE....you can't take your eyes off this guy...no matter what the role...the only actor that comes close to him [ JAVIER BARDEM ]..but still no cigar ! PALANCE ..breaks the mole !
@@leafyutube, you asked, "[W]ho the fuck is Bill Hicks?" The short answer: Alex Jones The full explanation: You don't really want an explanation. Let there be still some magic in the world which, e.g., scientists, physicists, engineers, maths geniuses and lucky fools [can be soak the fun right out of magic] . The antagonists [are always] shifting between political factions and _Cool World._
as I said before,first time in a western that a man got shot and knocked backward instead of clutching his stomach and falling down.stevens saw what a bullet did in the war,ww2,and in the commentary on the dvd stevens had 2 poles in the ground an 2 men pulled Elisha cook jr.backwards with wires attached to his back with a harness.
Has there ever been a Western black-hat like Wilson?....evil, sinister, menacing, frightful...Palance was the Devil on earth.....worth a Western Oscar!
This was Jack when he was thirty four. He seemed tough and dangerous. When was seventy two and got the Oscar he jumped down on stage on national TV and did one arm push ups. I guess he really was tough.
He was a boxer and worked in the mines when was young and had served in World War 2 in Air Force as a bomber pilot. Palance was wounded in combat and became an actor afterwards.
My favorite western. Brilliant performances..especially Jack Palance as Wilson.After the final shootout...just the look on Shane's face...when it sets in that he just killed three men...he knows he's had enough. I've always thought Shane survived that fight and just rode off into night.Who knows? Maybe he did ride off to die.
Wilson is not only faster, he has the advantage of being above Torrey. So if/when Torrey draws, he has to bring his gun up a lot further, whereas Wilson only has to clear leather and he's almost lined up already.
When I saw Palance's performance for the first time, it scared the heck out of me because I wanted to be just like that in my childhood. I was one creepy kid...
What a great scene. My mom loved westerns and this was one of her favorites. I was about the age of the boy the first time I saw it. In fact, she named my oldest brother after Alan Ladd. Torrey knew full well that he couldn’t beat Wilson, but with Wilson grinning at him while firing off a barrage of insults, there was no turning back. Palance was exceptional in this movie.
Majic Freeman Have you ever seen Shane? The scene Bill Hicks described in his routine doesn’t exist. This is the closest approximation to that bit in the whole movie.
Palance was always tremendous and captivating. This scene setting is an awesome perception of that era and life in the west, with mud in the roads, not just a regular dry dusty cowboy flick. But is it just me or is that tire tracks he's stepping over and not wagon wheels,start pausing it at about 1:20 or so, tell me what you see....

Jack Palance gives us one of the greatest pieces of acting in cinema history here.
For real. He doesn't even seem human here, but more of a demonic entity. Just look at the unmoving smile, and the way he turns his head.
So true, but give Elisha Cook credit as well.
You obviously have not seen a lot of movies!
Palance and Cook were real pros. Great scene.

Too bad jack palance was on the receiving end when he played Carl Grissom.
What do you expect, it killed the sodbuster.
They refuse to give an Oscar to the best of best interpretation ever in the westerns movies history!!!!
It’s great but what about the dying sheriff scene in Pat Garret and Billy the Kid?

That's 1:28 to 1:42.
Jack Palance has got to be one of the scariest looking hombre/villain in the history of western movies in those days.

Famous last words: "Nobody's gonna buffalo me." And then his friend distracts him. Jack Palance was an excellent villain/bully.

The finest moment in Jack Palance's very long career. A brilliantly staged scene right down to the smallest detail; it had a big influence on Sam Peckinpah's work.

My favourite western and one of the best fight scenes in cinema history.
Palance is the epitome of pure human evil in this role. Incredible film, but that icy reading of “Prove it” is beyond the beyond

Palance looks like he would have killed his own father for his shoelaces. As evil as Mitchum in Cape Fear or The Night of the Hunter.
indeed!
I agree...superb acting.
