I feel like shaw had a pretty understandable reaction considering he was dealing with sapient animals and everyone thought he was insane

Are we just gonna ignore that shaw actually fucking squared up with a bear in a fist fight and almost won

Shaw the absolute unit. Owns a pump action rifle which is a very rare gun type. Has an indestructible truck that even drives on water. Suplexed a bear. Has a gold tooth that he lights matches on. And saw the lies in nature

I need a entire full length movie of Shaw getting teleported to the Zootopia dimension, then causing a war

"God Bless America! I hope that Bald Eagle Hasn't Turned!" -Shaw

Shaw was the only man trying to stop what he thought were skinwalkers while everyone else was just calling him crazy

2:42 I love how Shaw for a brief second comes to grips with reality and acknowledges that perhaps he really is just crazy and has nothing to worry about. Then he sees a freaking dog driving a car! 💀💀

Shaw truly was the hero, he was trying to stop the movie from having sequels

Shaw is literally the only character in the movie that notices the animals doing human things, it's actually pretty fascinating.

Yo this dude literally went 1v1 melee vs a brown bear... and survived.

"Maybe they're right. Maybe Ol' Shaw is crazy." Its interesting when a villain has a moment of introspection and questions their own actions. Its a great way to humanize them. I also like the fact he actually cares about other people and tries to warn/protect them from what he sees as a possible apocalyptic event. He's a weirdly nuanced antagonist for a kids movie.

"My buck! My TRUCK! Why, you little-" Go ahead Shaw, complete the rhyme.

What's interesting about Shaw is that unlike other hunter villains, who disrespect animals as lesser than them, Shaw is motivated by fear of them becoming superior. For one, he saw Boog save Elliot and Elliot walking on his hind legs drinking coffee and he didn't ignore it, he recognized and understood what was really going on. He always loved hunting but now he sees it as some sacred duty to preserve the "natural order".

Shaw scared me as a kid, he makes me laugh now

I never even noticed that the sherif was Native until now, love when an animated movie actually portrays a Native person well

Can we kindly just take a moment to highlight that Shaw's truck is on a higher plane of existence. The truck seriously does not avoid by any natural physics, turns on a dime and doubles as a boat. Truly a masterpiece in vehicular engineering.

As a kid I thought Shaw was pure evil. As an adult, I respect his tenacity

Fun Fact: Shaw is voiced by the same guy who plays Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump

2:25 this motion camera was insane, it turns around the whole inside of the truck, focusing him, the antler, Lorraine, the mirror and the other truck. Sony did had a good quality since then.

Even as a kid my favorite Shaw scene was "It walks... like a MAN!" 😂

A hunter, activist, and a guitar player, Shaw is truly a renaissance man.

Shaw is possibly the most underrated villain. He is a Combo of Clayton and The Terminator.

The funniest part about all of this is that Shaw was technically right 💀💀

As a vehicle enthusiasts, I enjoy the fact that when shaw shifted his truck after eating candy bar, you could hear the gears grinding. Just something little I love about this movie.

• Cares for people's safety • Fights against human-like animals for the sake of mankind • Fought a Grizzly bear bare handed • Drives stick shift • True patriot Shaw is a chad indeed

“Hold still you two legged latte drinker” “God bless America I hope the bald eagle hasn’t turned” these two lines still make me laugh

Maturing is realizing Shaw is just a god damn good American.

2:39 “I hope the bald eagle hasn’t turned 😳” *looks out window into sky* bruh shawn hilarious

Theory: "Lorraine" is the name of his wife and she was killed by a wild animal. That led him to hate animals and name his rifle after her.

Ironically, Shaw is probably the most sane human in this movie.

I just love this guy. You can't hate him, the dude's witnessing animals walking like humans he has an understandable motive. he's also goddamn hilarious, especially his line about the bald eagle. You can tell his plate is well and truly full with the way he just blurts that out after going through all the animals that he suspects to be "in on it".

You know when you think about it a lot of what Shaw was saying makes sense when you look at it from the perspective of him, Like the bear did straight up cut the rope and no one believed him. Then the deer really did walk on it's hind legs and drink coffee, Shaw probably thought they were wendigos honestly.

Shaw's truck is a 1955 GMC Blue Chip 150. Quite a nice truck.

If open season wasn't just another ordinary children's movie cash grab then Shaw could've actually been an entertaining reoccurring villain

7:48 Bro just suplexed a bear! He's definitely the strongest character in the movie after that!

For man who's apparently an experienced Hunter he sure does have a terrifying lack of gun safety

This movie is so underrated..Shaw should be as popular as Shrek

I'm sure he'd have a field day in the world of Zootopia and Sing.

7:01 Shaw going seal team 6 mode supported by one of the most cinematic ariel shots of the century

Shaw is the funniest villain ever

If Open Season was told through Shaw's perspective, it would be an A24 horror hit.

We can all rest easier knowing Shaw is out there safeguarding the natural order

Between Ken from The Bee Movie and Shaw, that's two antagonists who are actually the most sane individuals in their universes and while a little mean, ultimately just feel isolated because they're the only ones reacting properly to sapient animals.

Shaw was trying to protect us against the skinwalkers.

“MY TRUCK! Why you little.” Gordy: “Shaw! No shooting in town!” “But Gordy that bear leaned over and untied my buck! D I D Y O U S E E T H A T ? ? ?”

As someone who grew up in hickville USA Shaw is the most normal and relatable character in this movie lol

I Unironically always kinda wanted to grow up like this guy. I mean not the crazy part but the private cabin in the woods, the self sufficient life style, just always seemed ideal to me

“It walks… like a MAN!” Gets me every time

0:30 The comedy of this scene is too good.

I like how in Open Season 2 & 3 the park ranger that took care of him is just never seen or mentioned again

In Shaw’s defense there was some major weird stuff happening in his community that would cause even the most sane of people to start having conspiracies

I love how he’s always caring that gun into public places

Theory, Shaw is a military vet. Possibly Grenada or the Gulf War. That would explain his willingness to fight a bear with a knife. And his apparent skill with the blade. I also agree with the Theory that the rifle is named after his wife.

Shaw is our last defense against the furries

Honestly, the only thing that really makes this guy a villain is the prospective the movie portrays him in. He literally saw a deer walking on two legs drinking coffee. who wouldn't go a Little nuts after seeing that.

Shaw seems more neutral than an actual bad guy. He hates animals but he also trying to save people. I kinda feel bad for him.

3:57 i love how despite all shaw has seen he still doesnt believe in bigfoot 💀

The fact that Shaw was completely willing and competently able to fight a grizzly bear hand-to-hand is fucking amazing to me. Let's put this into perspective: adult male grizzly bears weigh between 400 to 600 pounds. A grizzly bear's bite is around 1160 psi according to National Geographic, meaning they could probably crush a bowling ball with enough effort if they bit down on it hard enough. Shaw was facing down, at most, 600 pounds of pure fat and muscle who could disembowel him with a single swipe and could most definitely crush his skull if it caught him; but he ran at that bear with just a bowie knife and he survived. I don't know if Shaw was just too stupid to know what he was doing, or he may have the biggest balls in Oregon.

1:45 skinwalker moment

Shaw is such a Chad he apparently put a scope on a pump action shotgun.

I never acknowledged how brilliant this character’s lines are as a kid. That just makes me love him even more

I was half expecting that he would say "sniping's a good job mate!" at 1:42

Bro justed wanted to protect the people from abominations and every natural force was against him😂

Everyone talks about Shaw's perspective but forgets to mention how he literally had the first truck that could fully float and be controlled in water🤣

"God bless America I hope the blad eagle hasn't turned" gets me everytime😂

At least this guy had more screen-time than the Verminator in “Over the Hedge.”

Poor Shawn, he's an asshole for sure but I'd turn full psycho as well if I ever saw a walking buck drinking coffee in public

Open Season is literally one of the more obscure part of Gen Z childhood nostalgia. We indeed saw this as kids, but however it has been lost to time that some of us didn't know this existed, but it does. Looking back at Open Season, it indeed has dated humor and plot tropes at times but it is still a good movie that still has it moments. The one thing I remembered from this movie though is the woohoo bars and the part where the animals fight the hunters in an all out battle.

1:36 Holy fucking shit the dedication. Mans literally cut out the split-seconds in which he isn't visible when passing behind the man and streetlight.

"My buck! My truck! What the -" one of the greatest lines ever

Shaw has a Remington 760 pump rifle. Those go for good money in New England, because every hunters grandpa had one and no one inherited one apparently.

6:04 “SOMEBODY FORGOT TO FLUSH” still gets me 😂

*Shaw is very similar to Trevor Philips in many ways (such as his sadistic and sociopathic personality). Steven Ogg would do great live action as Shaw.*

The unnecessary cuts at 1:36 just to make sure an obscure object isn't in Shaw's way 😂😂😂

Is nobody gonna talk about how long that truck has survived. it was literally underwater for an extended amount of time and then resurfaced and he used it as a boat. what more could I need.

The way Shaw rolls up his window in a panic as the river comes barreling down towards him is one of the funniest moments from this movie. I dunno what's funnier though, the fact that it's his first thought to try in order to save himself or the fact that it actually worked 😂

5:09 when you are riding a roller coaster and you realize the first drop is a lot bigger than you thought.

Bruh it’s literally Trevor

He sounded like Trevor Phillips at 7:07

🎶 You can say I'm in love You can say I'm insane And no one understands [me,] [like] my darling Lorraine 🎶 *imitates electric guitar

Relatively hot take: shaw is one of the most underrated animated villains of all time

I know everyone memes about villains being in the right, but this dude honestly had a normal reaction to seeing walking, talking animals and the world thinking he was insane.

Thank you Gary Sinise for bringing this whackadoodle of a character

He’s not even a villain, he’s just a man who is the only one willing save humanity from the animal coup

This man is what the founding fathers intended. The zenith of patriotism and American values

One of the few movie villains that make sense 😂

honestly shaw is alpha asf, he leans out of his stick shift truck in the middle of some rapids to shoot at a floating deer with a scoped rifle, also, goes down into a cellar to fight a literal BEAR in close quarters, hand to hand combat with nothing more than a trusty hunting knife and lighter

Me as a kid: Shaw is evil Me as a 26 year old man: Shaw makes a good point.

7:48 Did this man just suplex a full-grown grizzly bear??? Holy fuck

someone needs to make a mod that changes sniper tf2’s model to this guy

3:58 Funniest thing is that Shaw believes in animals taking over the world but doesn't believe in Yeti's existence. Double standards lol.

1:10 “MY BUCK!” “MY TRUCK!” “WHAT THE FU-👊!!!!!!” “Shaw! No cursing in a PG movie!”

My buck MY TRUCK

I mean, it would be horrifying seeing an animal walk like that.

I just realized! Lorraine is a pump action. 30-06 rifle, modeled on the Remington 760 Gamemaster, not only a common hunting rifle in the 50s and 60s (presumably when this movie is set, based on the car designs) but it's also a reference to Martin Luther King's assassination, as he was shot by a pump action, .30-06 Remington 760 Gamemaster, at the Lorraine Motel!

Shaw needs his own cartoon series

0:45 Jesus this man has so much power, he literally created the camera to shake by just putting his rifle down...

2:37 as a kid I never caught the whole conspiracy talk before the bald eagle. So everytime he said "I hope the bald eagle hasn't turned" I thought he was talkin about going bald and that's why he's looking in his mirror when he says it lol

Shaw is awesome. End of story. He’s my favorite movie antagonist of all time and nobody is changing my mind

Shaw’s the good guy. Perspective is everything.
