    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.

      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.

    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.

This river is dangerous enough for even experienced canoeists. However, the movie attracted many adventurers who were inadequately experienced and unprepared to undertake a canoe/raft trip through waters of this complexity. Some paid the ultimate price for their impetuousness.

    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!

    Burt Reynolds told a funny story on The Tonight Show. When they were going to film the scene in the river when they all fall out of their canoes the director wanted to use a dummy to keep them safe but Reynolds insisted on doing the stunt himself so that it would look real. He proceeded to hit his head on some rocks and was knocked out. When he woke up he was in the hospital. He asked the director how the scene looked. The director replied, "It looked like we used a dummy."

Asked about that, he added, "definitely not Bobby". Looking at his life history, I think most people would lean towards Dickey being more Lewis than any of the others. Great poet, but also a big, physically strong man, without much fear of violence. Sadly, his alcoholism erased him before his time.

When the tour boat got close, the guide, not knowing Ned was aboard, made reference to the movie scene and instigated a "squeal like a pig" contest. It wrecked Ned.
