Yes, this is going to sound silly, but how many times to you ACTUALLY see the panther?I heard it was in 3 or 4 scenes. I only saw it twice - when Shane Cooper was handcuffed to the table and right after the end credits. Am I missing something? It's really bugging me for some reason!!!
shareWell, when he was handcuffed he saw the panther a couple of times, in different shots. Not sure whether those count as multiple scenes or not.
In hindsight, the panther is there in the first scene of the movie when the horses are in the field and disturbed. I _think_ we may be seeing the panther's reflection in one of the close-ups of the brown horse's eye, but it is hard to tell for certain.
