The following year Crystal came on stage to host the show on a giant Oscar statue that Palance was pulling by his teeth.
--> '''Jack Palance''': Billy Crystal... I crap bigger than him.
* OneSceneWonder: Palance's role as Wilson in ''Film/{{Shane}}'' is regarded by many as '''the''' definitive portrayal of a bad guy in a {{Western}}, and earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Academy Awards. His total time on screen? About ten minutes.

Palance made a career out of playing heavies, usually without a heart of a gold. One critic wrote "His face alone, as thin and cruel as a rust-pitted spade, is enough to-frighten a strong man; and to make matters worse, he seems to emit hostile energy, like something left overnight in a plutonium pile."
