Burt had a funny story about the shooting of this film. In the scene where he was going to go over the side of a cliff the director was going to use a dummy. Burt pleaded that he go over the cliff himself since he use to be a stunt man and the scene would look better. The director finally said yes and on the day of shooting, when Burt went over he hit the side of his head and got knocked out. He came to in the hospital and when the director came to visit him he asked him how the footage looked. And the director said " like a dummy going off the side of a cliff". Lol.
@coachacola37554 ай бұрын
Well, the real story is actually funnier. Everything you said is true until the actual stunt, he went over the waterfall and broke his tailbone which can be seen in the film. It’s the shot where Burt looks like he bumped something and then falls face first into the water. (1:03:59)

Interesting to see Ashley's confusion during the scene where the gang decide what to do about the guy they killed. We're so used to seeing Hollywood films that portray killing in a certain way, and along comes Deliverance, where the characters react as REAL people do instead. Most people that have had to kill someone, and are not used to that lifestyle carry a lot of trauma with them after the event. This movie portrays something real, instead of the ''shoot the bad guy'' trope that you normally see.

Ashley, just a quick explanation of how Ed killed the mountain man on top of the cliff and then got stabbed by the other arrow. Ed's fiberglass bow was beginning to delaminate (Lewis pointed this out much earlier in the movie) and damaged fiberglass bows can suddenly shatter when being shot due to the sudden shock of being released. The arrow that Ed was aiming at the mountain man did hit his target after he released it, killing the mountain man. When the bow shattered, Ed fell backwards and landed on another arrow that was attached to the now broken bow. If you rewatch the scene. just as Ed was nocking/loading the killing arrow onto the bowstring, you can easily see the other arrow clipped to the side of the bow with it's exposed broadhead pointing upward. Loved your reaction BTW! It's nice to see you getting into some of the grittier movies every once in a while!

At the end of the banjo scene, when Ashleigh is smiling and clapping, and saying that this is what she came for so she can stop now, I thought, "You're going to wish you had stopped there." Deliverance is a great classic psychological thriller, but gets hard to watch. I think I've only watched it all the way through twice.

For those of us that grew up in the 70's and spent a lot of time camping and hiking it's considered a classic that hit square on the nerve. BTW most popular movies from around 1968 up to 1982 didn't usually have a happy ending. It was a lot of grit

“Deliverance” was like a cultural pivot point for the image of the rural/Southern U.S. in pop culture. In the ‘60s, it was a fun place, full of lively characters in Hooterville, Petticoat Junction, Mayberry, etc.----then the “rural purge” occurred around the time “Deliverance” came out, with networks (particularly CBS) getting rid of rural sitcoms in favor of “urban” stuff like MTM, All in the Family, etc. The nation’s brooding, conspiratorial, Watergate-era mood didn’t help. After “Deliverance,” there was “Walking Tall,” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” and other darker looks at backwoods America----then someone in the late ‘70s decided it was party time, and light and rowdy good times were in, with a parade of fun movies and TV that includes “Smokey and the Bandit,” Clint Eastwood’s “Every Which Way” movies and "Bronco Billy", “The Electric Horseman,” and “Dukes of Hazzard” leading the way, with Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” playing in the background, and many country songs crossing over into mainstream radio (I grew up in Chicago, and we had Kenny Rogers’ “Gambler” album on vinyl seemingly spinning day and night) as CB culture, Urban Cowboy trends, and other factors made the backwoods fun again.

It was the beginning of my senior year in high school and I had a big crush on Burt Reynolds. I knew this movie was coming out and decided I would read this for one of my English projects. My teacher okayed it (surprisingly, he would never be allowed to do that today). The book was terrifying, compelling, and I was totally transfixed. I don't even remember if I wrote a paper about it. But I will NEVER FORGET those images and that story. When I heard you say you were going to watch this one I was thrilled and laughed SO HARD anticipating your reaction. Glad you saw it through. Good job following it so well. This is one of the films that made me an adult. Big Boomer trademark.

@bobbabai6 ай бұрын
Interesting he was given an award called "order of the South" for that novel which had previously been won by three other white southern writers (no internet mention of these award events, either). And then there is zero mention of that award until 2018 when some professor named Morris (another white author from the south) supposedly won it. No mention anywhere in the Google of any other winners and no information on the Southern Academy of Letters, Arts and Sciences which apparently was the organization bestowing this award. It makes me wonder.

You are the first reactor I've ever seen that actually understands the mountain people, and I love you for it! Especially since you clearly know the difference between 'mountain people' and 'creepy-ass rapists' who happen to also be mountain people'. As a West Virginian, we get linked to this movie all the time even though it was actually set and filmed in Georgia. And back in 1972, many of us went to see this film because it was advertised as "modern man against nature" and yeah, we all walked away traumatized.

This isn't about local districts like Georgia and Virginia. If nothing else, Ashley guessed at the outset that its about listening to your instincts to stay away from danger. Somewhat about primitive society and 'city folks'. Which translates to anywhere in the world.
