@Will Kelly A timeless reminder that your good times can become another's fantasy come true quickly. Don't walk in forests you aren't familiar with without a trustworthy guide.
I saw this film back when it was released and to this day I always have to giggle a little when I think of those four main stars sitting together reading their scripts for the first time! Ned Beatty had to inconspicuously glance at Burt Reynolds and look up to Heaven and ask "Why me, Lord?"
First R rated film I ever saw. Great novel, great cinematic adaptation. Burt's best movie. Boorman's best. Having grown up in the south, lived in Atlanta, hiked and camped in north GA, I credit Boorman with with placing the viewer right in the middle of that oppressive environment---- the heat, suffocating humidity, everything sweating, incessant call of birds, insects, drumming woodpeckers. Enough to drive one crazy....
Was in the deep woods in Maine with some friends. Very similar to Burt and these fellows. Came upon some jackass in a boat out on a lake. Ranting and raving at us. Told us to stay right where we were. Screaming and hollering at us. When he came ashore he saw my Colt 1911 on my hip. All of a sudden his demeanor changed and he became friendly. He kept nervously eyeing my sidearm. Uh-huh. Let that be a lesson to all in the woods who dont want "Deliverance" to happen to them! 😆
"Deliverance" is a movie that you never forget. Disturbing, good acting, great pictures. Jon Voight for example is outstanding. Compare him here and in "Runaway Train". But all actors are good in "Deliverance".
Landscapes right here near my home. The lake is Lake Jocassee as it's filling. My friend Sam's grandfather was the pastor at the church that was moved.
I saw this movie with a couple friends back when it first came out, one of them is dead and the other one I haven't seen in like 50 years, seeing clips of this movie always reminds me of them
The bow and arrow scene lives long in the memory; totally brilliant, convincing acting by all, brilliant cinema photography and direction.....you just WANT that arrow to find its mark.
After the passing of Ned Beatty, I realized that this movie had three iconic scenes. The Dueling Banjos, Squealing Pig and Bow and Arrow scenes. Amazing for one movie.
Closing Scene with James Dickey is impactful as well. He wrote the Best Selling Novel and plays the Sheriff. He and Jon Voigt incredible in that scene, really amazing considering JD was not an actor.
it is McKinny he also was the cop in Rambo, the train engineer in back to the future 3, the weirdo with the rabbits in the trunk of his car in thunderbolt and lightfoot with clint eastwood
Saw this on the big screen when it first came out as a teenager. When they made Bobby strip I didn’t really know what was about to happen. Haven’t been in the woods without a serious gun since! Later read the book. Very good.
I watched this on LSD and it was so awesome. The power of the river and the 100% real footage were extra spectacular. I felt like I was riding the river in my living room. These guys were so fortunate to be able to make a film in this way. 50 years old and it still holds up fine.
I was born in 1981, but I’ve gotta say with confidence the 70s were the Golden Age of movies. This one, the first two Godfathers, the first two Rockys, the Dirty Harrys, Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Star Wars, Holy Grail, Smokey and the Bandit, The Conversation, Chinatown, French Connection, Escape From Alcatraz, Outlaw Josey Wales, Duel, Superman, Blazing Saddles, Willy Wonka…
Many years ago, I saw *Straw Dogs* and *Deliverance* weeks apart and they instantly became linked forevermore in my mind, not just because of their temporal proximity of release, but because of the similar feel and overlapping themes of the two movies. It was only much later that I discovered that Peckinpah was slated to direct the Duelling Banjos classic, before Boorman took the reins of that film. Whatever, both great films and both starkly showing to humanity just how thin that crispy veneer of ‘civilisation’ really is.
I wouldn't have any hesitation in wiping out those guys, John voigt hesitated and that's silly, when in these situations you go for a quick kill, sad but nessesary.
I lived in Atlanta for 18 years and traveled the entire state for work. I quickly learned there's Atlanta...and then there's Georgia. A starker contrast cannot exist.
another great movie.. and icon .. Bert Reynolds.. I also loved Lee Marvin.. what an actor.. Jon Voight and Bert were right up there with him.. thank you for the movies.. and great acting.
Friends and I have canoed and hiked the trails along the Chattooga River along Georgia/SC. Love the place, but always carried an "anti-Deliverance" device - just in case!
I used to kayak the Chatahochee with zero anti-Deliverence device.. But I just saw the movie for the 1st time last night on Netflix...omg! What was I thinking! Yikes!
Not completely correct: Little Q was born '63 and the movie is from '72. He then actually saw it in '73 (yet far too young though!), a double-feature with Peckinpah's “The wild bunch“ according to Q.T.'s book “Cinema speculation“ (2022, page 81/german edition). Nevermind. Kind regards, the trivial matters
Le retour à la nature peut passer rapidement du rêve au cauchemar... Il reste un acte fantasmé. Dans la plupart des cas, la réalité est tout autre. Merci pour ce film hautement réaliste !
Burt was a good friend to have... This film is a masterpiece of Spirit Grit and Survival...primal! Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School California
Apparently, James Dickey, the author of the novel, and who also had a cameo role in the movie as the local sheriff was a prime pain in the arse - Example : One night, after a hard day's filming, the cast and crew were relaxing in the bar at the country club where they were staying. Burt was sitting at the counter, quietly chatting with the barmaid when suddenly the door bursts open and Dickey bawls across the bar "Hey ! Hey, Lewis ! I'm talking to YOU, boy !! You're Lewis, aintcha ??" To which Burt calmly replied "No, I'm not. At 6.am tomorrow, I'll be Lewis, but right now I'm Burt." . Dickey was subsequently booted off the set, and was only allowed to return to shoot his short scene which didn't appear till near the end of the movie.
There was a third passenger in the Griner's truck with a shotgun and I think it was the toothless man,so makes me wonder if the two hillbillies were stalking these guys the entire time just waiting for the right time to time to start something?
If that's the case, they should have known that there were two more guys in their party and been expecting them to show up. The rape scene makes it seem like the hillbillies thought Ed and Bobby were all alone.
Brilliant film when ever I go camping with the motorcycle club I belong to many times in the past the lads and I have at one time and another talked about this film . It reminds a couple of the boys the firs time they camped in cornwall in the uk !!🏍🏍👍😁
This scene teaches us one thing: whenever a sucker with bad tone pops up, you have to punch him in the nose straight away. No waitin, no talking. Immediate fight. You need to surprise him. You can look scared, that's your advantage. But in that second, boom on the nose ! Or the jaw. Whatever. Just fight (in this case it meant immediatly attacking the one with the gun). Simply forget every nice behavioral shit on which your parrents were programming you, and be even a greater sucker than the one who came to cause troble. Sure you don't want no trouble. The sucker knows it. And that's why he is after you ! And so you already ARE in trouble. You won't talk yourself out of it. The good part is, that it doesn't always have to be this bad (or better to say it's almost never this bad), but... ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS SCENE ! Bcz you MIGHT fight for your life. Nevermind. You're a nice piece of shit anyway. You'll rather get f*cked, than cause a harm to some random sucker who DiDn'T sTaRtEd FiRsT. Bcz... YOUR STUPID PARRENTS PROGRAMMED YOU TO GET F*CKED !
I mean, probably at some point in time, but I imagine people are more in danger of falling down a hill or something. It’s worth noting that in the real life scenario that inspired the book, James Dickey encountered locals who were helpful but it’s not that kind of book/movie :P
Bobby could've fought him more if he had the minerals... but he didn't and that's the point... he was even weaker mentally and physically than Drew... Ned Beatty played Bobby perfectly... he was a sub... Ed became Lewis once Lewis couldn't be Lewis any longer...

I've never seen it. I was 8 when it came out. I heard terrible things about it as I grew older. 59 and I still have not seen it, nor want to. Watching these few scenes here, I see why now.
Probably the only Burt Reynolds film where he's actually playing a proper serious character. Instead of all the other Goofy kind of characters he gets.
Deliverance. The film gets your defences down and blows you out of the water. Once seen NEVER forgotten.
The State Tourism Board of Georgia is eternally grateful.
Definitely showed Burt Reynolds acting skills . It was a deep story.
After all these years, this film is still brillant, and leaves you with a pit in your stomach every time you see it.

Je l ai vu dans les années 80.en effet il est marquant.
My favorite scene is when Burt uses bow&arrow to kill the guy. Love it
It's a bear recurve Kodiak takedown
Awesome bow
Kill shot.
It took the guy 10 minutes to croak on a twig
No buck egger there.
one of the best dying scenes ever , was more real
Three of the greatest movies of the 70's if not of all time: Deliverance, The Exorcist and Jaws.

I didn't know Ned Beaty died..
@@IWantToSmashLiberalsWithHammer He died in June of 2021
@@jacobkoenig6089 Dude, read his original post, he says Ned Beatty is dead when he's not, duh..
Ok, i just found out that Ned died last year, my bad...
Closing Scene with James Dickey is impactful as well. He wrote the Best Selling Novel and plays the Sheriff. He and Jon Voigt incredible in that scene, really amazing considering JD was not an actor.
The actor who plays the arrow through the chest is underrated. I believe his name was Bill McKinny. This was excellent cinematic art from 1972.
it is McKinny he also was the cop in Rambo, the train engineer in back to the future 3, the weirdo with the rabbits in the trunk of his car in thunderbolt and lightfoot with clint eastwood
According to Burt Reynolds, he had to pull McKinny off of Ned Beatty during the rape scene as he had it up and was really going at it.

The movie is brilliant and disturbing. We are so close to savagery; it does not take much to bring it out in us as 'civilized' people.
It also makes you question the virtue of being "civilised"
@@M3Lucky that's not deep. when civilization is up and running in its current form civiliZed is a virtue. and when it's not survival reigns supreme
we are not. some are. others are brave to fight them (police, soldiers).
