In a scene where the canoes are shooting the rapids through a sheer cliff you can clearly see a stuntman climbing out of the water onto the rock. [According to director John Boorman, no stuntmen were used in 'Deliverance'.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When the two canoes first start off down the river, the guy in the lead canoe is wearing a hat. Virtually every time the shot changes, the hat either goes on or comes off, it happens about 5 times. [The shots are indicating time passage as they go down the river, as such, there would have been plenty of time to take the hat on or off between shots. It's just another indicator of the passage of time.]
When Jon Voight shoots the mountain man on top of the cliff with a bow and arrow, they are facing each other. When the mountain man falls dead, however, the arrow is in the back of his neck. [The arrow is not sticking into his neck, it has gone through his neck and is sticking OUT of his neck. The only thing silly is that he could not have walked over to Voigt, he would be holding his neck and screaming in pain.]
