Line 6:
A group of stuck-up [[Atlanta]] yuppies decide to go into the wild countryside of Georgia where they do a little canoeing, play a little banjo, [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|and suddenly get brutally raped by a pair of local hicks]]. After one of the group kills the rapist, the four city boys must try and escape the town before the locals find out what happened. However, the dead man's accomplice ran off, and starts hunting them down like animals. The film is best known for the page quote about squealing like a pig and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzae_SqbmDE the "Dueling Banjos" scene.] If you ever see the film [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|you will never be able to enjoy banjos again. Or go canoeing. Or visit rural Georgia. Or, you know, sleep.]]
''Deliverance'' (the movie) was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2008.

Line 45 ⟶ 48:
* [[The Savage South]]
* [[Scenery Porn]]
* [[Slow Left Hand]]: Carefully averted. Billy Redden, who played Lonnie, couldn't actually play the guitar that his character uses to perform his side of the famous "Dueling Banjos". A skilled player was hired to replace his left hand on the neck of the instrument, with shots composed and camera angles chosen to hide the fact that while Redden might have been strumming the guitar with his right hand, another man's hand was performing the hard part of playing a stringed instrument, so that it looked real.
* [[Tagline]]: "This is the weekend they didn't play golf."
* [[Ubermensch]]: Lewis thinks he's this. Possibly a [[Deconstructed Trope]].
