Does anyone remember the movie "Deliverance."?!


Question: In that old movie, one of the campers fell out of their boat going down a river and died from hitting the rocks. In the scene that showed him dead, his shoulder was dislocated. The actor was Ronny Cox. It looked so real that I wonder if his shoulder was actually dislocated to shoot the scene. Does anyone know how that scene was made?

I know!!!...FOR ALL THESE YEARS SINCE I SAW IT IN THE THEATER I HAVE BEEN HAUNTED BY THAT SCENE TOO!
the whole film is haunting but you are the only other person i've ever heard wonder about that very scene....odd
surely his shoulder wasn't actually dislocated!...i hope not....

Can't help you with that, i got that out on dvd a few weeks ago, great movie, i like the part where he squeals like a pig.

i dont know if they dislocated his shoulder...but i do rememer that creepy banjo tune!

never heard of any actors having serious injury from filming.

One of the good epics of the 70's....


There are a lot better movies of the genra in that era though...Cannibal Hollocaust to say the least!

I dont know about that - it was probably make up etc. But you might find this interesting.
The film is famous for cutting costs by not insuring the production and having the actors do their own stunts (most notably, Jon Voight climbed the cliff himself.) In one scene, the stunt coordinator decided that a scene showing a canoe with a dummy of Burt Reynolds in it looked phony; he said it looked "like a canoe with a dummy in it." Reynolds begged to have the scene re-shot with himself actually in the canoe rather than the dummy. After shooting the scene, Reynolds, coughing up river water and nursing a broken coccyx, asked how the scene looked. The director responded, "like a canoe with a dummy in it."

Regarding the courage of the four main actors in the movie doing their own stunts without insurance protection, Dickey was quoted as saying all of them "had more guts than a burglar". In a nod to their stunt-performing audacity, early in the movie Lewis says, "Insurance? I've never been insured in my life. I don't believe in insurance. There's no risk."

he didnt fall ,he was shot!

all of them wanted to do their own stunts i know for a fact that Burt did but Ronny Cox's didn't do it . it was a stunt person
