TOO BAD WIKIPEDIA CAN BE EDITED BY ANYONE. THAT INFO CAN BE ENTIRELY WRONG FOR ALL YOU KNOW.
The whole 2nd banjo player things so primitve by today's CGI laden standards.Quote:
Redden, then sixteen, earned his role in Deliverance during a casting call at Clayton Elementary School in Clayton, Georgia. To add authenticity and humor to the film, the filmmakers found Redden to fit the look of the inbred and mentally retarded banjo boy called for by the book, although Redden himself is neither. The scene depicts Redden playing the instrumental Dueling Banjos opposite actor Ronny Cox on guitar. Because Redden could not really play the banjo, another young banjo player knelt behind him and reached around his chest to reach the banjo, with Redden wearing a specially made shirt that made the man's arms appear to be his own. Additionally, the shot was filmed from angles that made it impossible to see the musician behind Redden on the porch. At the end of the scene, the script called for Redden to harden his expression towards Drew Ballinger, Cox's character; however, Redden was unable to fake dislike for Cox. To solve the problem they got Ned Beatty (whom Redden truly disliked) to step towards Redden at the close of the shot. As Beatty approached, Redden hardened his expression and looked away exactly as intended.[citation needed]
And I just find the way the Ned Beatty thing is worded is hilarious.
Makes you wonder why he "truly disliked Ned Beatty".
Although one can speculate.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That one is fucking awesome.
That is one badfella
