CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Lewis (Burt Reynolds) kills the Mountain Man (Bill McKinney) right before Ed (Jon Voight) is raped.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Like such other early '70s Hollywood films as Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs (1971), Deliverance ponders violent instincts and definitions of manhood, ideas made all the more pressing by the period's escalating violence and assault on traditional gender roles. Regardless of these headier concerns, the critically praised realism of the action scenes on the river, with the actors performing a lot of the stunts, helped make the film a hit. Shooting on location on the Chattoga River in Georgia, cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond captured the appeal and the peril of the river's pristine isolation, enhancing both the adventure's visceral thrills and Dickey's philosophical inquiry into man's true nature. Deliverance was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, although Dickey's screenplay of his novel was passed over, as was Reynolds' star-making turn. With its chilling sense of infinite menace, Deliverance spoke to contemporary anxieties over what anyone could do, given the right (or wrong) circumstances.

The shot of Burt Reynolds shrouded by darkness with his arrow knocked is insanely badass.
Was just telling my wife this after reading about this movie a bit ago. Glad to know others share that hahaha
You can see the white in his eye.
Burt Reynolds was a hellof an archer. It is said he could hit a house at ten feet, but seems to do better on film.
Knocked? Nah. It's pronounced the same, but spelled nocked. Knocking can be found in a Paul McCartney lyric.
@@JW...-oj5iw 😂
In this scene Burt was the kind of friend you want to have backing you up. There was no hesitation at the wrong time. Burt's strength really made this movie.
That's why it's so frustrating for most of the film after their "savior" is immobilized by an injury.
@@KutWrite i always thought the same like of course the most badass character is pretty much outta commission for most of the second half
@@KutWrite Lewis being out of commission is definitely frustrating, but it’s what makes the movie great. What do you do when your hero can’t save you?
@@troyundroy1 Yes, it was a great plot turn.
Burt's weakness is what really make this movie. Bragging about true nature lifestyle and shooting like you shoot a deer... Main hero in his deliverene of becoming a Man, thats the film. Although I can admit, Burt was not a coward
If this scene were shot today, it'd be with a dark blue filter, there would be rain digitally added in, constant music in the background, and huge tribal drums would start kicking in as the arrow goes through, followed by a final BOMMMMM as he falls to the ground, and loud thunder in the distance.
Never understood why Burt wasn't cast in more 'hard man' rolls, he was such a natural covering this character.
He made Smokey and the Bandit, which made a fortune, then proceeded to make car movies for almost 10 years until it was a cliché. Like an actor in a long running sitcom, he was typecast.
@@modsquad20Yeah. He became this good ole boy character. He tried some action roles later but he was dealing with injuries by that point, then was in that tv show for years.
He was great in The Longest Yard and Boogie Nights.
Excellent point
And the entire scene is filmed in almost utter silence, with just the sounds of nature, birds, etc. A just a few words. No explosions, no sound effects, no gun shots, and no music. And it's proof that film mastery can be achieved without all of that crap.
@ Starsrceam91....Dude he was just making a comment that not all movies have to have sound effects and a musical score to be good. Chill out.
john boorman was a hell of an director !!
Starscream91: Robert made a valid point. You're acting like he insulted your boyfriend.
Yes, but it needs more lens flare. And the forest was perfect opportunity for foggy sun rays effect.
Robert Jensen a great score can help to make a movie but too many people forget that silence builds tension
This is how Burt Reynolds became every mans hero.
True
Burt reynolds sucks
You're not a damsel in distress, and Burt Reynolds is not a knight in shining armor.
Tom Miller Several years of hearing how "dangerous" Tea Party protesters are and it took Trump to bring out the real terrorists in American politics--the dangerously unstable liberal, like yourself.
No, the fantasy of every decent person in America was seeing Obama get out of the office and Clinton losing the election, oh wait that happened.
deliverance hasn't lost it's edge even after 50 years. in my opinion its one of the top 25 movies ever produced in North America
This movie, at the time, had the same effect on camping out as the movie Jaws had on swimming at beaches.
Remembering Burt Reynolds (1936-2018).
Rodd Amos rip in piece John Rambo
Burt will be greatly missed. Deliverance was his breakout film that put him on the map.
Agreed. The Longest Yard and Evening Shade are personal favs.
Burt never spoke a word in that scene, but the acting was there.
I watching Deliverance now. Great Movie. Rest In Peace My Brother.
The guy that got shot with the arrow wasn't going anywhere. After Ed grabbed the shotgun, he should have continued pursuit for the other one. I wouldn't have let him got away. Hell no!
You know about survival, but not story craft.
380PPK And Ronny Cox wouldn't have been killed.
Not after what he put you and your friends through... he’d be a dead man if that were I with the shot gun.
filled his butt with love.
I would have made him squeal from being sodomized with the double barrel shot gun...
Burt Reynolds looks incredibly badass when he's about to fire that arrow.
Arrows and bolts are loosed...not fired.
Deliverance is hands down one of the most intense films I have ever seen.
Groundbreaking too. Had a big impact on the industry - going where no movie had gone before with this scene. It also spawned a genre that continues today.
Even that TV show from 10 years ago - "Justified" owes something to it.
Very right, however I wouldn't have taken my grade school age child to see that movie in a theater at that time (1972) before VCRs came along.
The novel's even better.
@@MFurey 🎯. James Dickey. Fine writer and poet-and not a bad thespian either, as he’s very effective in his cameo playing Sheriff Bullard.
I read the book before it was a movie. A friend I worked with at a Chevron station recommended it.
Burt Reynolds played one of the ultimate badasses of movie history
+JoeTyler85 And he could have been the greatest movie star of all time if he had not made a complete joke of his career. Brilliant actor with a lot of deep issues that hurt him overall.
+JoeTyler85 He was basically the Bradley Cooper/Tom Cruise of the 70s, what happened that made it all disappear?
+Joseph Dutra all the car movies and comedic roles led the film industry to not view him as a serious actor almost immediately after this film was released. Also doing the nude centerfold for Cosmopolitan magazine right before the movie came out didn't help.
That's not true. Burt Reynolds was nominated "Best Supporting Actor" for his role as Jack Horner in "BOOGIE NIGHTS" .I think he should have won ,too but Robin Williams took it for "Good Will Hunting".Williams was great ,too. It just goes to show you the Oscars are a popularity contest. Bradley Cooper and Tom Cruise don't come near Reynolds acting
Lewis was a good guy, was not?
Shot through the heart and Burt's to blame!
Mountain man gives love a bad name.
*DRUM SNARE HIT*
🎶... arrows give love a bad name... 🎶
Actually it looks like he missed the heart and most likely nicked the descending thoracic aorta while also perforating the middle and lower lobes of his left lung.
The end result is still the same, but I doubt he would have died in less than 4 minutes.
@Mike B
No, he just came to fix it.
"He's center-shot." The audience cheered at this scene. I was 15 years old at the time and petrified. Awesome movie!
Shooting an arrow through the vegetation needed a steady shot.Small twigs could deflect so easily. This movie shows Burt taking the necessary steady stance to hit the target.Great movie.
and voigt's character almost blew it by staring at burt.
What made this movie so great was Burt's character Lewis-the one you think is going to get everyone safely back breaks his leg. Ed, who we think is the weak one, ends up becoming the badass out of survival necessity and they make a pact to NEVER say anything. I could imagine the stoned teenagers that saw this during the 70's never wanting to go camping again.
I always thought the same thing, the transformation of ed's character, his life would b irreversible from that point on!
I remember so clearly seeing Deliverance at the theatre. The crowd went really quiet on this scene. I took three girls from high school, we were all good friends. It was either this scene or when they get smashed up in the rapids, I had my arms on the armrests and one girl dug her fingernails into my bare arm so freakin' hard I thought she must be breaking the skin. But I just grit my teeth and kept my eyes riveted on the screen. I didn't make a sound or even look her way.
The most rewarding kill scene in cinematic history. Instant Karma!
you mean vipaka not karma, karma is action vipaka is reaction
Never forget seeing this in the theater. When the camera zoomed in on Burt with the bow, the entire theater was screaming DO IT !! When he did it the theater erupted in applause.
RIP Burt Bill and now sadly Ned !
This is one of the most powerful moments in film history. Watching it, most people are completely silent... and when you hear the river trickling by, the birds, bugs & wind in the trees. It's surreal. Great filmmaking.
@Justa Witness Add in the moment when the mountain man makes a reflexive gasp and Burt applies a bit of pressure to the back end of the arrow, it is raw cinema at its best
The original version of this scene had John Denver’s “Country Roads” playing.
First time I saw the movie I was so tense at this point. When the camera zooms in on Burt with the bow,...what a moment!
Every sphincter muscle in the theater was tighter than a drum.
@@porridge57 I think most of us had that same moment.
I love that you can tell that Burt Reynolds' character has psychologically prepared for that slaying for years. He looks especially pleased as he approaches the nearly-dead man, barely suppressing a smile. "I did that, and it was AWESOME!" is what he was thinking.
It was awesome and a well deserved death.
Or "I got you, you SOB!"
I guess he, temporarily, learned a lesson about penetration, in this case a point well taken.
"A point well taken" XD. I wish this comment had more likes!
well, I guess Tums won't help THAT HEARTBURN !
LMAO
This was one scary movie we still talk about deliverance.
So the fella browned his sausage, then when his brother cousin was offering to slake JV's thirst, Burt turned the tables and stuck him from behind. If Ronnie could have caught up to the brousin, he could have cleaved his head with the paddle.
What a shot of Reynolds with his silhouette against the backdrop of the river, that eye...
I love how realistic and human everything here is. No plastic badassery, no dumb motivating oneliners to make audience 'proud'. Raw!
James Dickey’s family was so embarrassed that he wrote Deliverance. Im sure he cried all the way to the bank.
One of the most stunning scenes in all of cinema history
I remember seeing this in 1972. The theater audience was in shock, utterly silent. Then, that zoom shot of Reynolds and a gasp from the people around me. Two memorable cinematic death scenes... this one and Liberty Valance. A disturbing, thought- provoking, brilliant movie!
I love this scene. There's nothing like a little field justice.
I wanted this. I wanted Burt to win the Oscar,
Wish I was there!
He was so handsome and an excellent actor. He was a part of my childhood growing up watching Smokey and the Bandit. Even then I knew he was one of the best. RIP
He also posed nude in Playgirl magazines! 😍
@@juliemonarch7364 yeah he did, but later said he regretted it.
I liked him in "Shamus."
If you haven't seen it, do.
This is why the character of "Lewis”is one of the best badass hero's of American cinema. He came across his "civilized" friends being victimized by some hillbillies who he & we as viewers don't know if they are going to be murdered or just further humiliated. Lewis doesn't care & is not willing to act like his "civilized" friends & walk over & try to talk his & his friends way out of a horrible situation . He risks himself "bow & arrow against guns" and puts a violent & fatal end to his friends nightmare . I have always loved this character and hope that if put to the test that I would be Lewis.
+finster444k If I saw my friends go through that I don't think I'd hesitate. I'm as pacifist as they come but that's a traumatic situation to be in and something about all of that is primal. Those hillbillys were acting like crazed animals so I think diplomacy is out the window. Also they're all outsiders so who's gonna side with them? It's an awful situation to be in. It'd be like asking a bear or lion to stop trying to eat you. I'd like to think I could be Louis in that situation too.
Right, no question in Lewis' mind on the immediate action required, instinct!
finster444k+ It's about Trump's America.
he stood there and let Bobby get raped
Lewis is the archetypal "hero" and his power is literally felt by the audience in this scene. Burt Reynolds was perfectly cast, a real man. RIP
Burt coming through in the clutch. RIP Bandit.
I think he was a paranoid Vietnam veteran; he was worried someone was going to attack their campsite earlier in the film.
@Andrew If he was cautious then he would have made sure they all stayed together.
@Andrew just because he's paranoid doesn't mean he's smart LOL
Incredible how Voight's character still looks terrified of the antagonist even though the guy's mortally wounded and can't inflict harm anymore.
Yes
Rip Mr. Burton Reynolds
Burt Reynolds in his day was brilliant... RIP...
Tough guy, born in a small Florida town.
This is a movie that can definitely not be a remake without The True Legendary Burt Reynolds. He nailed it.
As James Bond would say, "I think he got the point" (Thunderball)
or the other guy austin powers .. he'll never be a head of a major corporation...lolzzz
Jon Voights acting is so convincing here, despite not saying anything
he was GG nom
He was scared shitless, many of us would act the same
Watch out! I hear he's a biter!
@@dan_hitchman007 ... Kramer can vouch for that.
_frocks: His daughter got a purty mouth too!
The guy that got the arrow through the heart was Bill McKinney. He also played 'Redlegs' in "The Outlaw Josey Wales, and died a similar death as a result of a sharp piece of metal traversing his body. MicKinney specialized in playing characters you enjoyed seeing get killed.
he was the train engineer in back to the future 3 and you didnt want to kill him in that movie
I have never walked into the woods without a gun since this movie
Lol
What a puss
I'm sure one can walk though woods without a gun but it depends on what region of this country.
@@robertmasina4610 the woods east of the Mississippi are the ones you should fear. The rest, eh, they're tame enough.
Just when you thought it was safe to back in the woods!!!
Both the book and the movie: Riveting.
The expression on Burt Reynold's face at the very end of this clip: the hunter well pleased with his kill. Such great acting to so subtly portray something so primal.
Loved the author's cameo appearance as the LEO telling them, "Don't never come back here.
Ever."
Nice acting job by Bill McKinney you would think he really did get shot by an arrow.
I thought he was a real mountain man until a few years ago. This, even though I'd seen him in other films.
Bill told me that he and Ned Beatty went and picked out furniture after the production. Lol
Before he died,I corresponded with him through email..Very nice man who took acting seriously...
This whole sequence - from the time they meet the men through to this scene - was one of the most riveting scenes in movie history. The whole movie was great. Deliverance and Excalibur were Boorman's finest, and absolute movie classics.
The Emerald Forest was another great John Boorman movie.
In my opinion one of the most underrated acted movies of all time. Everyone in this film completely crushes each scene.
All the movies Ned Beatty made and the awards he’s been nominated for but this is what he’ll be remembered for!
Can that chubby boy handle himself?
@@jamesjarrettjr.5974 Hahaha! 😆🤣
Rumour has it that he couldn't sit down for a week after this scene.
@@markcastelletti483 did they ever get back together ?
RIP Ned Beatty...
Yeah, buddy. It's hard to say "goodbye" to the ultimate badass in this movie. It always raises the question, "What would you do?" RIP Burt.
I might have missed and hit John Voight instead. Haven't done archery in about 50 years and my eyesight was better back in high school!!!
My mother used to say "Burt can park his shoes by my bedside any time," and my father would get so mad. LOL
My grandmother said the same thing. That must have been a line from some old movie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man when Jon Voight looks and sees Burt with bow ready to go Holy Sh** that is one intense moment and the look on his face says it all
right, I also thought Voight's character was also getting his anxiety on like he does when he gets ready to fire the arrow himself
Have to hand it to Reynolds' character for holding the shot until the opportune moment. Barely to mention Voight's for knowing and praying, and not betraying, what was about to happen.
That guy pointing to John Voight wanted to ask him "Hey, how do you like my new arrow shirt"?
That's hilarious, plus, Arrow does make great shirts. Good enough to brag about if you're a hill billy.
Jon said, "I like it mighty fine, especially with those two holes that were added!"
The best death by arrow acting ever!
I’m sure Bill McKinney enjoyed the location filming. He was a professional Arborist by training and continued to pursue that craft even into the 1970s.
Every character had the best actor for the part ..This is one film that has no bad actors along with an awesome story about survival and doing what you have to do at any moment that you are not expecting the unthinkable it until it happens..
This scene is an exact representation from the novel, moment by moment. Perfect!
Well, they did leave out the part where Bobby kicks the dead rapist in the face.
An incredible movie on so many levels. Burt’s acting was amazing.
Rip Burt Reynolds! Definition of a movie star! 💖
Most people are focused on Burt Reynolds here but can I put in a word for the fine acting of Jon Voight in this scene? Notice how he manages to incorporate his labored breathing after having just been cut loose from the tree into (when he realizes Lewis is in the vicinity and aiming a bow and arrow) an impassioned but silent plea to Lewis to do it, DO IT, DO IT, LET THAT ARROW FLY! without letting the rapists know what is going on just behind them. And how, once he manages to grab the gun away from the rapist, he is everywhere at once: should he run after the other rapist or keep the gun trained on the one who was shot, just in case? That a masterful piece of work, right there.
He got the point .
B Ruane: so did Ned.
R.I.P. Burt Reynolds (2/11/1936 - 9/6/2018).
A true classic of American Cinema ....no CGI just pure acting
Burt Reynold was the protothipe of masculinity. What sadnes,today he passed away at 82
RIP Burt. You will be missed
No music, that's one reason films in the 70's were so great.
One of the best movies ever made, many scenes hard to watch but never forgotten. Sticks to the book exactly and very realistic and scary.
Burt Reynolds was a fucking stud back in the day.
Gay.
He was!
R.I.P. Ned Beatty 1937-2021
The way all you see is that one white eye, sharply focused, unblinking, compared to the other man's constant and heaving breath.
God. Every inch of this scene is magic.
Yes, Lewis's eye is like the, 'thousand yard stare' many soldiers are described to have. I call it the, 'death eye'. He is, locked on target with no, hesitation, waiting for the, right moment to, take the shot.
The split second from the moment of release to target is awesome.
I know I sound old but they dont make movies like this anymore. The acting and characters were tremendous!
You’re just accurate.
They didn't make films like this before this film was made
What a scene. Rest in Peace Burt
They left out the best part According to Arthur Spooner "Nobody Squeals Like Ned Beatty"
One of THE best scenes in movie history! The intensity and focus are unmatched. Will always be Burt Reynolds best film.
The magic of Deliverance is that it captures precisely what you and I would do in a crisis. And it doesn’t sit pretty.
The acting is wonderful, close-to-the-bone as it gets.
Very disturbing movie, but it is indeed Burt Reynolds's and Jon Voight's most convincing performances!
in that whole scene...it's almost hard to believe it was acting.
I was convinced 'til a few years ago that the guy shot with the arrow was a real mountain man, as were many of the other characters in this film.
RIP Bill McKinney.
@@KutWrite the toothless man was legit a mountain man in real life
@@M3Lucky: Yes, "Cowboy" Coward. He still is, too at age 83.
Burt Reynolds deserved Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Deliverance
Greatest scene in the whole movie. Burt standing statuesque, in the greenery, without the slightest hesitation of
what he had to do in order to save his friends. Truly, one badass classic film moment. Just awesome.
His character didn't just stumble into a dangerous situation. He understood the predatory nature of the wilderness
1:57 best acting without any words
Such a more realistic film than today's. These guys were white suburbanites. They were unaccustomed to violence even in retribution. Makes it much more compelling.
No jballau - the four men going for the adventure. They were utterly clueless about Life and Nature.
I talked to the author a couple of times before he passed away. His exact thoughts. What do you do as a sheltered suburbanite with absolutely no experience with violence when you are thrust into a situation where you are suddenly fighting for your life. Fantastic book and film adaptation.
Time to be badass or be a victim.
@@cdavid8139 Kinda thought the book/movie was a Vietnam allegory - sudden terror in a pastoral setting, etc. Did you ask him about that?
That’s right white people from the majority stand Point are civilized But if we have to kill we will do it just like anybody else
Every boy should be allowed to watch Deliverance! It's a right of passage!
It's one of my favorite movies! I even went back and mountain biked the very roads it was filmed on in Georgia. It was strange but very cool. R.I.P. Burt =Snowman!!!
You are missed....
Everyone loves Burt Reynolds character Lewis in this film, as they’re meant to. I think the director was exploring the strengths and weaknesses of every character. Some guys were conquerors in the corporate world but it didn’t translate to this environment. Even though Lewis was a hero in this world, he was also unsuccessful and abrasive outside of it.
If anyone notices, this was explored more in The Deer Hunter, where DeNiro’s character had a very hard time interacting in everyday life, but was a natural survivor when they got to Vietnam.
This is THIS!!
@@ALD56 lol
But the irony of the story is that Ed was ultimately the strongest character out of the group...
@@jdemarco Ed was the main character and likely strongest of the corporate guys. Lewis was the one who put an arrow through that guys neck without hesitation or remorse. He was the survivalist. It’s just that Lewis was badly wounded in the rapids.
@@NemeanLion- That line " Lewis wants to to be one with nature, but he can't hack it. " Is very meaningful. It shows that Lewis was " macho", but eventually that alpha male nature was his Achilles heel. He was hurt in the rapids because he was hasty about his decisions concerning their fate. He put them all in more danger to " play the game" He acted on impulse. Drew tried to convince him to do the right thing but he would have no part of it. So ultimately the survivalist mentality almost got him killed out of ego. This is where the real test of strength came in from someone with no experience, (Ed...)
I was always amazed at how they got the two halves of the arrow to line up so perfectly. It really looked like he'd been shot.
He actually was shot and as soon as the director yelled cut they rushed him to the hospital where fortunately he recovered
@@arnoldjack7956 Cool.
@@jdemarco yes he was a committed actor
@@arnoldjack7956 That takes the term " method acting" to a whole new level. Talk about getting into character...lol
@@jdemarco yeah and the actor was pissed when he didn't get nominated
Everyone’s a badass until they get an arrow through this heart.
This scene against the backdrop of forest birds singing...you're.on the edge of your seat
RIP Ned Beatty...
Burt Reynolds’s character was perfect. Burt could of done that character again.
People try to cut down the character, but I always respected that character. That is the man that weak men have torn down.
Exactly
One of the best big screen deaths ever acted out...
Wow! I'm impressed with Senator Cruz acting skills
Actually, the arrow "came out" a little below the heart, through the diaphragm. being that his diaphragm was punctured, though, and also having been hit very near his spinal column, the wound, as we can see, still eventually proved to be fatal. Sometimes, with wounds like this, it can still take a little time for a man to die. One other thing: Blood was coming out of both the front and back, but he was also bleeding to death on the inside. Blood will pool up in certain parts of the body with a wound like this. Can you imagine watching somebody die like this, though? Even the opponents of this guy didn't do anything to him, after he was shot. They just watched in horror, as he went through his death struggle. They just...watched. This was an absolutely heart-rending scene.
RIP bro. Man present throughout my growing years. MEAN MACHINE!!!!!
Rest in Peace Burt
Best scene! Bill McKinney played an accurate role of a slow death by an arrow shot. How long it takes depends on how much damage the blade does to blood vessels or the heart.
Exactly. I couldn't have said it better. Every actor in this movie delivers an outstanding, believable performance.
Shot to the chest usually has blood filling the lungs. It's actually a death by drowning.
“Let’s hear YOU squeal like a pig now. C’mon boy!”
Bill played in Josey wales
His death most accurately reflects a partial avulsion of an atria or ventricle. Your heart will keep beating as long as it can, even if it is missing part of itself. Imagine your heart is beating faster and faster trying to maintain blood pressure but with each beat it ejects more blood into your chest and you get weaker and weaker. Lewis' arrow has a downward angle from front to back, so it probably tore off parts of the left and right ventricle on its way through.
I remember seeing this movie in the 1970's. It's one of those movies that stays with you because of the intense scenes, without all the epic music and flashing lights of other movies. Just raw reality! That Bear Razorhead with the razor inserts is still a super deadly broadhead, because it is a cut on contact design that is the deepest penetrating design ever. Original Bear Razor heads, like the ones in the movie are now collector-items that fetch a high price. I guess they had it right from the beginning.
They had a good technical advisor who knew his arrowheads!
Djees, what a masterpiece. Reynolds greatest work, and Sharky`s Machine.
Agree - his two best.
This movie, even to this day is unsettling to me. R.I.P. Burt Reynolds.
Every time I see a canoe now I hear banjos in my head
Now that is what I call Honor and Friendship.
I've often wondered about that too in watching this scene. Having never had an arrow through the heart, it's hard to say, but you can imagine the combination of pain, fear, and unparalleled desire to hold on to life for the last few second that even this POS would have had. Maybe he was pointing toward where he lived, or toward his cohort that had run away, or toward Voight in beseechment or hate. Or maybe his brain was simply firing random impulses and his body was reacting accordingly.
Well if the arrow was through the heart, the victim would have died where he stood instantly. He was center-shot meaning he drowned as his lungs filled up with blood.
Burt Reynolds looks uncannily like Marlon Brando here.
Jack Nicholson was going to play Ed if brando played Lewis
I thought this was Burt Reynolds' best film. Brando didn't think much of Reynolds.
@@neub4321 Absolutely Reynolds' finest moment.
@@neub4321 Brando was jealous of Reynolds.
@@forwardobserver2048 Ha. Burt Reynolds wasn't fit to tie Brando's shoelaces.
Every group of friends needs a Burt Reynolds in it.
I got the adrenaline rush of all times when they showed Burt Reynolds back there, silent with his bow and arrow... No warning shots or scaring them off.
Killshot.
rest in peace Burt....you were one of the greats.
