Goofs

Near the end when Shane is going to ride Betsy after unsuccessful screwdriver engine ignition attempt, his nose is cleanly seen with no blood or any harm done.

Betsy (the horse) was left at the police station when Cooper returned from Gleason's farm and Cooper drove a police vehicle to Skins Creek Road. Assuming that Jimmy took Betsy, Betsy would have been left at the Main Street. But Betsy was found by Cooper outside the barn after he freed himself from the handcuffs.

Old Bill was holding his jacket in his arm when he exited the Town Hall building (with Cooper chasing him behind). In the next shot outside the building, Old Bill was already wearing the jacket which is neatly tucked.

Old Bill wears the rank of Chief Superintendent, which is a very senior rank, equivalent to army Colonel. It is way too senior for a small county town. At best, a police station in a town the size of Red Hill would have a Sergeant or Senior Sergeant in charge, and supervised by an Inspector overseeing the area from a larger town.

Barlow introduces himself as Sergeant, but wears the rank of Senior Constable, one rank lower.

When Shane enters the town hall he looks to the stage - the scene already shows him sitting in the chair near the back.

Shane was driven to the outskirts of the town, confined in the boot of a car, his mouth duck taped. After he was abandoned, he very quickly and easily removed the duck tape.

When Billy shoots his rifle in the air by the burning hay barn, the gunshots make a sound as if the bullets are ricocheting off of something. But when you shoot in the air, there is nothing to ricochet off of.
