Deliverance/Trivia


  • I Am Not Spock: Bill McKinney was so strongly associated with the role of the mountain man who sodomizes Ned Beatty that it cost him the role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. Stanley Kubrick didn't want to meet with him because he was that scared of him.
  • The Red Stapler: Inversion. For some strange reason, the camping industry blamed this film for a significant drop in sales.
  • Throw It In: The infamous rape scene didn't actually call for any dialogue. The actor playing the rapist got so into it that, combined with his general sadism, the other actors tackled him after one shooting because it looked very likely that he was going to rape Ned Beatty for real.[1]
