The 1987 post-apocalyptic movie, Steel Dawn, closely follows the plot of the of Shane, according to Walter Goodman of The New York Times. In his 1997 album Arizona Bay, Bill Hicks parodies Jack Palance's role in Shane with track 8, "Bullies of the World", likening an unspecified "we", the arms producing countries, to Jack Wilson taunting the farmer to "pick up the gun". In the 1998 film The Negotiator, the two leading characters have a discussion about Western genre films, Shane in particular.
