Damn, now I gotta go watch Burt in Deliverance again.
Ps. Fun story about the making of the movie. So when the stunt crew was working on the waterfall scene they weren’t sure whether they should use a stuffed dummy or a person. They decided to try both in 2 separate shots, with Burt himself going over the falls after the mannequin shot.
Afterwards the crew and director got together to see which shot was best, the dummy or Burt. Someone asked what the mannequin shot looked like and the director thought it was so-so. Then they asked about Burt’s shot. The director said it looked like a dummy going over the falls.
