God I miss the 70's.

I've read that the actor portraying the rapist was told to harass Ned Beatty by the director. Beatty couldn't stand the sight of the guy after a few days, and by the time they shot the rape scene, Beatty's reaction to being near the guy was real.

Dickey was a real dick.
The interesting thing is - he was pissed because he thought the movie wasn't close to his book. Yet after seeing the final product, he had to grudgingly admit that it was pretty good. IMHO, the film is the best book adaptation I've ever seen - it really captures the essence of the characters and their stories. The book has a little more detail on Ed's life and why he's not super happy with the way it's going... but pretty much everything else comes across in the movie. |

I read Dickey’s son’s memoir about that time. The salient fact from that article is that apparently Ronny Cox has a good book about it too.

Great movie. Really powerful seeing it in the theater when it came out. I saw it with a couple of my buddies that liked taking canoe trips. :-)

Quoted: I remember reading how Ronny Cox could pop his arm out of the socket so they used it in the movie when his body is found.https://historybyday.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Deliverance-Behind-The-Scenes-Secrets-20_.jpg View Quote Damn that scene scared me to death the first time I watched it. |

And at a time when America is still picking through the political and cultural debris left by the riots at the Capitol in January 2021, this feels as relevant and resonant now as it was then. View Quote These people just can't help themselves can they? |

The guy looked legit dead. The grey makeup and the impossible, uncaring, unfaked pose. Now they can just disintegrate a character with CGI. The director used what he had very well. |

I only saw it after the cleaned up version finally made it on on of tge networks. One girl in our class (14) was allowed to see it with her folks. I never will forget her talking about it in class. She said: "Ooo-wah, guys, don't see that movie...it has, like, fags in it! Like real fags." |

Quoted: In my experience there, half of them are right. The other half....well, the movie is pretty close View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Many of the people that live up there hate the movie as they felt it unfairly portrayed them I went to college in the late 80's with a boy who grew up in the north GA town where the bulk of Deliverance was filmed and he pretty much said the same thing.

Good read. Saw it at the drive in theater as a 9 year old kid. I was supposed to be asleep in the back of the station wagon. The rape scene confused and terrified me.

Think Beatty thought that McKinney was too much into character and he came up swinging lol |
