Jack Palance gives us one of the greatest pieces of acting in cinema history here.

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

That shot is still brutal after all these years.

Jack Palance has got to be one of the scariest looking hombre/villain in the history of western movies in those days.

Jack Palance, one of the great under appreciated actors of all time.

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.

An incredible scene of cinema. With the storm, the mud, the great acting. Just awesome.

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

Jack Palance acting in this movie is fucking superb.

They refuse to give an Oscar to the best of best interpretation ever in the westerns movies history!!!!

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.

One of the greatest movies of a generation.

I think Jack Palance makes this movie. I love him in this movie and the performance is spot-on.

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.

this scene alone with director George Stevens is a masterpiece of artistic xpression RIP Jack Palance my brother.

Palance was magnificent, and was Oscar nominated for his performance, the black look is classic

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.

This classic western won an Oscar for cinematography in 1953 still one all time favorites .

That pause between pulling and shooting quality film making.

Had never heard of Shane until my ex kept talking about the movie it's one of the finest westerns I've ever seen

Unless you're Shane when Wilson says to you "Prove it" you're death warrant is signed.

Gorgeous Jack has to be the sexiest man around. He's lethal and stunning

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.

Here because of Bill Hicks' reference about the sheep herder.

Palance is one of the top 3 heavies in film. What a underrated actor.

Shane is my favorite westerns and I think a lot of people deeply love this wonderful film with a human and gripping story.

One of the best westerns ever

The sound of the jangling spurs makes this scene.

Damn, Jack Wilson kills with a smile!

One of my favorite movies, all time. Palance as the heavy was as good as it gets.

Jack Palance = the perfect villain. Nobody could have played this part better!

Love Jack Palance playing the Bad Guy 😄

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

Legendary performance by Jack

this is my all time favorite western movie

That sadistic smile of his at the end

I'm not much on Westerns, but loved this since I was a little girl..fantastic film.

"Him.LEE and all the rest of them Rebs...............YOU too"

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.

The best simple cowboy film ever made.

Whoa. That's a badass bouncer!

yes the best western bad guy ever + the best western + the best gunfight between wilson & shane in western movie history

Jack Palance !! Brillante actor secundario .... no tengo palabras para este filme. Obra Maestra del Western

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.

Chilling,unforgettable scene.Palance and Cook Jr.

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.

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.

Wilson was like a tornado. Something devastating you weren't going to see too many times in your life.

Jack Palance is a legend. He clearly enjoyed what he did, and he did it better than anyone else. Terrifying on and off screen.

one of the best Westerns ever

My favourite Western of all time.

Brandon DeWilde should have won an academy award. Great performance.

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.

Jack Palance is one of the best “Man’s Man/Actor’s Actor”. He’s up there with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Telly Savalas etc.

This movie was way ahead of its time. The gunfighting involved is so much more "accurate" than most of the westerns of that time or even after.

best western bad guy ever!!

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.

Palance is the epitome of pure human evil in this role. Incredible film, but that icy reading of “Prove it” is beyond the beyond

Jack Palance would have made a great Hannibal Lecter he can be totally terrifying without a word being spoken and be intelligent about it.

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.

Jack Palance, one of the best!

I just watch the last part of the movie over and over..so you're Frank Wilson.

Best villain ever

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 !

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.

I really liked she short story and the film

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!

another greatttttt western.. with great actorsssssss

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 pure classic ! The way wilson prepared himself for the kill.. predatory !

''I heard about you Wilson.'' ''What did you hear Shane ?'' '' I heard your'e a a low -down lying Yankee . '' '' Prove it ! ''

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

Best western there ever was.

Jack Palance is still the greatest. Thanks for this video.

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

Thank you Bill Hicks

I was rootin for Jack the whole movie. DAMMER!! 🤠

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.

Jack Palance. What an actor.

Best western ever, period.

Elisha Cook Jr. was Torrey. One of the great character actors. You can see him in Maltese Falcon as Wilmer.

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.

I never noticed but you are right.

感謝分享的說，馬上按個讚的說

Wow!!!!!! What a movie....saw it as a kid.

That was the best of the film. Rest of it soporific.

The art of starting shit. Beautiful.

All that mud. Torrey just wasn't capable of dealing with all that mud. He tries to tread carefully to make sure he doesn't get any on him but when youre worried that much about getting dirty you can't deal with a guy like Wilson. Shane didn't worry about getting dirt on him. And thats why he had to leave after he killed Wilson. You have to worry about getting mud on you when you live in civilization.

I am so going to see this movie!

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...

I’ve been to Wyoming a couple of times. And the only places I haven’t been to yet are Cheyenne, Laramie, and the Tetons (where this was filmed.)

Having read the book many times, I think Jack Palance would have made a great Shane. "He was tall and terrible, looming up gigantic in the mystic half light."

Has there ever been a Western black-hat like Wilson?....evil, sinister, menacing, frightful...Palance was the Devil on earth.....worth a Western Oscar!

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.

This is the role that led Jack Palance to top-end fame and ultimately to an Oscar. (I love Elisha Cook too!!)

That evil smile and the long pause before he squeezed the trigger. That's sadism at its finest.

You know how powerful Shane is ...he’s the only one who can beat Wilson

I read that when they filmed the scene, Torrey actually says, "You're a low down Yankee liar son of a bitch," to get the right response on Wilson's (Palance's) face. Then when they put the movie together the director just cut those words out. A brilliant film all around. And just think, it was filmed in 1951 but not released until 1953, the studio bigwhigs fearing it would be a flop!

Man, no one could do menace quite like old Jack Palance. He scares me.
