Quotes from
Rufus Ryker:
I'll kill him if I have to.
Jack Wilson: You mean I'll kill him if you have to.
Shane: There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.
Joe Starrett: What Ryker has comin' isn't fit for a woman to see.

Palance was to dismount for a minute then remount his horse. He could not remount, so the director had Jack dismount his horse slowly, then ran the film in reverse for the remount.
