"You'll squeal with glee!" 35 years later, and those squeals are just as loud now as they were then. l wonder if Burt Reynolds was just as good with the bow and arrow when he was married to Judy Carne as he was fending off those mountain men.
"Can you squeal like a pig?" Deliverance DVD
This movie stars Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight in [[ASIN:B00136Z7US James Dickey about a canoe trip which turns into a violent nightmare. Of little note is the redneck, banjo-playing little boy grew up to be the World-famous Democratic strategist, James Carville. Highly recommended for fans of Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight,James Dickey's and the World-famous Democratic strategist, James Carville.

"Boorman delivers Voight and Reynolds" If you haven't seen this film in HD or Blu-ray, do get this one. It's a classic action film that one rarely makes these days (bless the 70's) and the entire cast (Reynolds, Voight, Cox, Beatty) are excellent. Recommended for action buffs only.
"It's a Good Movie but The Book is Even Better!" I read James Dickey's novel Deliverance a few months ago, loved it and looked forward to seeing the movie. The movie is quite well done and has the key plot skeleton of the novel ie four men set to experience something future generations will never get to as the river is being damned. On their second day however they will encounter true evil. Their stamina, friendship and every other trait will be tested to its extreme if they are going to make it back to civilisation alive.
However the man verse nature aspect is for more prominent in the novel than the movie. The movie concentrates more on the man verse fellow man (who is pure evil) aspect which was really just the icing on the cake of the bigger middle aged city guys out of their depth (except for Lewis whose idea it was) struggling to stay alive through the rapids, questioning why they came along in the first place. The river was the main fifth character in the novel and on film although scenic wise just as spectacular is not as daunting a figure as in the book. There are a lot more struggling to survive in the rapids scenes in the book both before and after running into the two hillbillies. The whole reason in the book they rested on the bank in the first place was due to a monumental encounter with the river in the book where just trying to survive they had no idea how far back the other two were. Being that the book was written in narration style through Ed's eyes his terror in the hillbilly scenes is a lot better in the book, there was no glimpsing the canoe go past in the book so knowing help is on the way if he hangs on, plus there was a lot more that happened before the "squeal like a pig" incident in the novel with Ed debating in his mind as he's thinking they are just there to rob or hassle them whether to tell them about Lewis and Drew so they would go away and leave them alone or not to as they had a shotgun and he's not sure if they are the type who would use it on his friends as they float by.
I also would have liked to have seen the owl piercing the tent scene on their first night from the book in the movie. The one thing the movie obviously beats the novel is the guitar banjo duel scene, I have loved that music track long before seeing the movie or reading the book, long ago I bought and still recommend the "Dueling Banjos" The Original Soundtrack: Deliverance to anyone. If you haven't read the book you've got no idea what I'm talking about but watch the movie it's very good, but if you're into reading get the book too, in fact read it first as it's even better!
Deliverance is the ultimate what would you the viewer an every day guy (or woman) do, would you survive if you were in their place. As pointed out by another reviewer another good simple low budget movie from the same era as this that also follows this theme is Duel based on Richard Matheson's classic short story of the same name. I'd also recommend Matheson's novel Hunted Past Reason for novel with many similar key plot elements to Deliverance (some say too many) following an everyday city guy trying to survive in the wilderness against his fellow man. Unlike with the movie Duel, I made the mistake of getting the much cheaper Deliverance DVD that doesn't come with any features as I thought the movie may be a completely different storyline to the book as the cover of the DVD has an image of a shotgun emerging from the water that is not in the movie. After reading other reviews on these pages, I'd pay the extra for the version that includes the bonus features if I were you!
"Tempts me too often on the fast forward button..." When Jon Voight attempts that cliff, it's a true nail biter unrivaled by any other before or now.
And remember, when molested by a bunch of red necks. Squeal like a pig!

"Only 30 years late in seeing this movie", I think I'm one of the only baby boomers who hasn't seen this movie. Not a bad movie considering the technology available at the time.
"Dull and overrated", New on the Fox Network: When Good Movies Go Bad! Or, a review of John Boorman's 1972 film Deliverance, which he produced and directed, based upon James Dickey's 1970 novel of the same name. Dickey also wrote the screenplay, which explains a lot, especially if you are familiar with his `poetry.' The actual look of the film, however, is sensational. The cinematography of nature, by Vilmos Zsigmond, is still stunning after thirty-five years- especially those scenes shot in twilight, dusk, and night, and the first forty-five or so minutes sets the basis of a good tale which could have been something really special. Then, Dickey digs into his own personal bag of fetishes (his most famous poem is The Sheep Child, about bestiality) and latencies and the film becomes an almost nonstop stream of a narrative propelled by the Dumbest Possible Action theory of film. Although the coinage of that term arrived a few years later than this film, Deliverance is as fine an example of that genre as there is. The term arrived in the early 1980s, when a spate of slasher films from the Halloween to the Nightmare On Elm Street to the Friday The 13th series, to their even cheaper knockoffs, were always dependent upon the early success of their villains stemming from the utter stupidity of their victims, to wit: big breasted cheerleader is alone in a dark house, hears a scream from down an even darker hallway, yet rushes headlong toward the scream, all the while knowing that a serial killer is lurking about. In similar fashion, this film goes from a realistic portrayal of masculine mores to a silly, unrealistic, A to B to C pointless film. The turning point comes when one of the four male leads is sodomized forcefully by a hillbilly and his toothless gun-toting crony.... the film finally founders because it lacks real situations, characters, and philosophy. After all, it's difficult to get truly philosophic after a character's been torpedoed by a hillbilly, and so a film that could have been a realistic and philosophic exploration of characters, and male character, devolves into a ridiculous melodrama of revenge, deceit, and perversion. Boorman is a noted filmmaker, but he's never been considered one of the great auteurs, and a film like Deliverance shows why. Some have accused me of gleeing in bad art. I don't. But needling the bad is a palliative over the depression bad art brings. This is especially true when a work of art could have been good, even great, but actively chooses to demean itself and its audience. This film proves that while James Dickey's body died in 1997, something far more essential died long before, or was never birthed; and in that I'm not talking about anything to do with morality. When you've figured out what that was, you'll understand Deliverance a whole lot better.
"Item never received.", This item was ordered over 4 weeks ago and was never received. I have emailed the seller twice and am yet to receive the movie.
"Classic Movie", I had no problem with ordering, the movie came as promised, in perfect stated condition. I love this Movie, it is a Classic. I would purchase other items from this seller.
"Tragedy Changes Men. To Blu Ray or Not to Blu Ray", The American Heritage Dictionary online defines deliverance as the act of being delivered and to rescue from danger or bondage. The film Deliverance nominated for three Oscars (director, picture, and film editing) shows how a tragedy can change man. Made as V ietnam was ending and men returning home from war, themselves changed, the film seems an appropriate metaphor rather than mere exploitation. Four friends from the city embark on a weekend canoe trip downriver that is surrounded by poverty stricken tough hillbilly types. Lewis (Burt Reynolds) is the dominant leader of the group. Ed (Jon Voight) is a family man who would seem to have grown up with Lewis and idolizes him. Ed is respected, passive, and is the type that would rather fit in then stand out. Bobby (Ned Beatty) is the heavyset insurance salesman who is the butt of the joke at times and would rather talk or joke his way out of confrontation. Bobby is not the laid back type; he is bothered when Lewis gives him a hard time but is submissive and would rather vent to Ed rather then confront Lewis. Drew is another leader he is independent and has a quite confidence and unlike, Bobby, he voices his opinion and stands his ground. Something horrible happens to Bobby in the woods and Ed is forced to watch helpless, they are both saved by Lewis and Drew but neither will ever be the same again. Although Lewis rescues them from danger with his bow it is the horrific act and the acts to follow that free them from their bondage of fear. The scene in the hospital at the end when Ed angrily accuses Bobby about what he thinks he said to the police, at first brushes it off with a smile followed very quickly wish a push, Ed counters this by slamming Bobby against the wall and soon the men have their hands around each others throats and are starring eye to eye. Bobby, hands around Ed's throat, calmly and steady handed tells him he didn't say anything and Ed believes him. These are not the same men that entered those woods like the many that enter the jungle and the desert, they have changed.
THE BLU RAY - Picture and sound weren't the best I have seen on blu ray but were good. If you have a blu ray player and own Deliverance I would stick with what you have. If your buying this for the first time I'd spent the extra dollar it is here on Amazon and get the blu ray.

"A movie the likes of which won't be made again", This is a very visual and engaging film, without going over the top. The banjo playing scene is awesome and sets the tone for what's to come. I think this movie hasn't lost any of its effect even with being from the 70s and all. I thought I was in for it when the voice over started in the beginning, because movies from the 70s have that tinny audio when people's voices get loud, and it sounds really odd. It's especially noticeable when women speak emphatically. Last night I watched "And Justice for All" and every time that lady talked it was like nails on a chalkboard and I couldn't concentrate on what she was really saying. Anyways, it's slightly noticeable here in Deliverance, but the remix helps and regardless, this is just a solid movie.
"Old but Good", This was a good movie but soon after my purchase the price dropped down to $14.99.
"Great Movie!!!!", Few older movies hold up over time, but this one is worth watching. This movie contains one of the best and disturbing scenes I have ever seen in a movie.
"An incredible film and an appropriate presentation", Although some people believe that every film ever made should provide a "PQ" (picture quality) and "SQ" (sound quality) that show off the capability of modern High Definition technology when released on Blu-Ray (or HD DVD for that matter), it just so happens that expectation has absolutely NOTHING to do with reality.
This Warner release of 'Deliverance' fully captures the original presentation of the film thirty-five years ago (both picture and sound.) The film is just as startling/disturbing now as it was then. A very powerful film with magnificent photography, dialog, and everything else. Ground breaking and scary!
Remember, the purpose of your home theater is to enjoy films (just as they were originally intended to be enjoyed), not show off the latest technology.
"This is a very poor transfer: A waste of money!", This transfer is so bad the a hair from the original film transfer pops up in the middle of the screen. Blu-ray is supposed to be a step up from a standard DVD. This is a piece of junk.
Don't buy it!
