Although Deliverance may be a quality thriller about racism and middle class fear in modern America, it also has once of the great (and much-parodied) all-time scenes. In this scene the city dwellers arrive in a small redneck village trying to buy travel out into the countryside. They look on in dismay at the 'genetic deficiencies' of the locals, and then this happens:
It's a scene that embodies the central point of the movie, that although the middle class white collar city dwellers may think themselves a cut above these yokels; they actually don't have a clue about these people or their lives. In fact their opinions of and fears about them are nothing more than racism.
And it's some wicked cool music too.
