Is when Shane -- just shot in the side, hands red with blood, cuts all over his face -- stops by his house to pick up shells. His wife doesn't bat an eye when she sees him! Totally ridiculous and unbelievable movie overall. It was actually pretty good up until the appearance of Jimmy. And the panther? People in the theater were cracking up.
3/10
Agreed. The film was alright up until jimmy showed up. If it had gone in a more un PC direction and didn't take itself so seriously it could of been great.
The Panther, people being to afraid to shot Jimmy, horrible dialogue and the stupid main character made this one hell of a horrible film.
'Hes an innocent man'.....'What do you mean?'

Yep, that scene was pretty stoopid.
However, by that time I'd pretty much given up - the missed shots from close range, the shooting the crack marksman with the scope from a reflection... the whole way Jimmy was invulnerable - all rivalled this scene for corn, totally implausible.
A silly film!
if you thought the panther contributed to it being a horrible film, you're missing like one of the main elements the movie is trying to make.
well, you don't spell it son, you eat itshare
ok first of all i'm not sure what film you were watchign because shane never got shot he fell down the hill. jimmy never shot he only loaded his hun and that made shane slip down the hill. he injured himself in the fall .
shareHe'd ridden all the way in the teeming rain. Do you not consider it possible that the rain just might have washed off the blood?
shareThe juke box scene was my first LOL moment. After that, I was sold on the film as a possible MST3K candidate. Too bad it wasn't truly wretched enough to be a cult classic.
shareYep, very poor film. So generic and unoriginal. It's like a rubbishy straight-to-video movie from the 80's. What's the point if you've got nothing new to add beyond an Aussie landscape.
shareHaha.
I thought it was pretty original, and self conscious. A bit of Unforgiven mixed with Tarantino/Pulp Fiction and emotional drama. All in a standard action thriller format which I eat for breakfast.
Nobody notices that the film comments on both action and western film cliches and tropes.
Personally the only lame part of the film was when Cooper began narrating a flashback. That just speaks to the dodgy script or maybe insufficient money since that is such an amateur thing to do.
The cop coming back to his wife was quite an original development, a twist of the damsel in distress which action heroes get saddled with. In this case Cooper must hide what he is doing and about to do from his wife, lest she miscarriage. Very poetic solution. That the rain washed away the blood and he just looked like he was cold I thought was pretty cool too. Very tense moment.
Although saddled with a slightly dodgy script, this film is far and away a superior action film and western. Complex, original, deep and playful.
You need to watch more quality films if that last sentence was anything but sarcasm.
No my dear, procrastination is an art form!share
Personally I found it to be a fun film albeit filled with some pretty silly, often cliche, and sometimes bordering upon impossible moments.
Not too special, but there's many that are worse. Would leave it alone for 5 years or so and then be ready to watch it again when hard up for options.
Would probably do some fast-forwarding, though.
I assume you've all watched a significant number of films, yet you can't identify 'movie darkness' when you see it. Over the course of my life I have watched countless characters fumble for things in the 'dark' which I can see perfectly well on my screen. I've seen them trip over things as plain as day to me. I've seen people go to bed, turn of the lights and all that changes is the colour of the lighting and the shadows. But if I'd made a 'hah hah hah scoff scoff' thread for each one, I've had no time to watch the damn movies in the first place.
