Duelling Banjos - scene from Deliverance

[ambercrombie789]

@wobjong You just can't resist broadcasting your bitterness. Hope you get over it.

[shadowhunter144]

3 people... well, I think we all know what happened to them.

[GreenDayfreak717]

for the win!

[xxxSCHANDMAULxxx]

sorry....but this kid looks like an inbred...fits perfect to the music...hahaha

[papersplease]

You guys are on the internet and cant even do a search to find out about Billy Redden, the kid "playing the banjo".

Billy Redden was chosen at school casting call for the role. He is not inbred. His distinctive look helped sell the idea that he was inbred for the part. Make-up enhanced this. Billy Redden is not playing the banjo. "A local musician, Mike Addis, reached around from behind Redden; this was disguised using careful camera angles."

Google is easy.

[wobjong]

I didn't know George W. Bush was such a child prodigy at the banjo

[jessie101ist]

I absolutely love this part of the movie...Absolutely Brilliant...Leaves you breathless!! WOW can that boy play that Banjo!!! ....Always Jessie/Jan xxxxx

[killerflaten94]

INBRED AS FUCK

[jessie101ist]

@killerflaten94 I bet you cant play a Banjo like that!!! I only hope he got paid...

[killerflaten94]

@jessie101ist I must agree on the subject of which that his banjo skills are fucking awesome. I was just making it clear that he was, as mentioned, "INBRED AS FUCK". And, yes, I hope he got paid, the kid is TALENTED!

[jessie101ist]

@killerflaten94 Haha I like your spirit, you sound like a awesome person yourself and yes he is extremely talented...You have a great day..Always Jessi/Jan xxx

[killerflaten94]

@jessie101ist Thank you, you have a nice one yourself, J :)

[jessie101ist]

@killerflaten94 See you have got a beautiful heart.......

[MadeoOnTheRadeo]

he didn't know how to play the banjo when they filmed it someone behind him is actually playing it

[Offskew]

@killerflaten94 Google Billy Redden - hi is neither inbred nor a Banjo player, google explains the whole scene with make up and camera angles.. it remains one of the best scenes from a movie ever

[Syzygy60]

Ned is the asshole in this picture he deservese a good ass fuckin'

[westtigersrock]

Cool kid

[ZackSvender]

That banjo's guy looks like Thom Yorke

[smoofy94]

[TheCandice40]

[vimpyr]

This is one of the most FUCKED UPPPPPPP movies in American history. MY GOD.

[problem49]

Say what you will, but that inbred hillbilly genetic freak taught George Bush everything he knows.

[TheNellamaria]

fantastic song and fantastic picture......and fantastic performers...

[IDoNotBlameYou]

Martin Short played "that kid from Deliverance" on SCTV's Christmas special, one of "Count Floyd's "Monster Chiller Horror Theater" star-studded episodes ("SCTV, 12/17/82 - COUNT FLOYD'S "HAVE YOURSELF A SCARY LITTLE CHRISTMAS." It's on YouTube). It was scary and hilarious how much he really did look and act like him.

[MrHuddo]

Heat water, 1 cup of sugar and strawberries in a saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 50 minutes or until strawberries soften. Set aside.

Combine remaining sugar, bicarbonate of soda and flour in a bowl. Whisk buttermilk and egg. Stir into flour mixture.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Spray with oil. Pour 2 tablespoonfuls of batter into pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles form on surface.

[ParaTroopa506]

This scene is misleading. The rest of the movie is nothing like this.

[whiteytightey1]

This movie is so messed up but this scene makes me watch it again and again :D

[acnemanprice]

Why do people refer to this as the duelling banjos? Ronnie Cox is playing a guitar.

[spazmonkey618]

@NYGNYY4life

Yeah.

:)

[spazmonkey618]

Ed is so smexy,

with with pipe...

And his moustache...

Ohhh yeaaahhh. :P

[DangerOUSXD666]

I wish i can break into a magical pro banjo playoff like these guys! :D

[KronnangDunn]

Ronny Cox is actually a Folk guitar musician expert, u know? He was excellent in Robocop as Dick Jones... and in Total Recall too as Vilos Cohaagen...

[xZchS]

Family Guy fart contest

[Spoonifyourhorny]

[flowiepanda]

ogbmx420: haha yeah.

[flowiepanda]

Ita not his hands playing the banjo. There's a dude behind him with his hands through the kids jacket. They just used the kid actor because they liked his face

[ogbmx420]

@flowiepanda you seen that on tmz

[M3t4lManiac]

Is that Quintin Tarantino btw?

[tedxc0re]

@M3t4lManiac lol

[DramaDon83]

Give him a couple of bucks?.

[challeable]

Paddle faster, I hear banjos..

[1337epsilon]

[07stothersc]

Thumbs up if family guy's Michael Moore fart contests brought you here

[M3t4lManiac]

The kid's awesome, has he appeared in any other movies?

[mattybock]

@M3t4lManiac i think not, being actually blind he was asked by the makers of the film to play the banjo for the movie. he actually is a real "hillbilly" (forgive the word).

[everalldoris]

yyyyeeeeeehhhhhhaaaaaarrrrrrrr­

[DrOmega]

AH-HYUH-HYUCK!

[cbaile]

"...I'm lost!"



[nomynuss]

feudin banjos song name :D

[nomynuss]

btw .. whats the song name pls i cant stop thinking about it

[nomynuss]

nice song ^_^

[ksera2k7]

did you all know that kid was found there and used in the film.

[GreenDayfreak717]

@ksera2k7 huh

[ksera2k7]

@GreenDayfreak717 the kid playing the banjo is a real person and agreed to be in the film

[grahamkeithtodd]

This is the wifey typing. Don't judge a book by its cover! The way that guy's fingers were going on that banjo, I do believe he was actuaaly playing. This is my favorite seen of the whole movie. I have got to rent this movie. I haven't seen it in a coons age.

[BlessedSpirit]

@grahamkeithtodd Sorry to burst your bubble, but he isn't playing. He couldn't play a note of banjo, its a man sitting behind him playing.

[grahamkeithtodd]

@BlessedSpirit sorry old son that was the beloved wife using my u tube account not me making that comment!

i personally have never see this film..i tend towards Sicfi and action films myself!

[youngdones]

Ten generations of inbreeding results in a kid that looks like that.

[samjones0528]

i've never seen this film but this scene as awesome

[brooksjedi]

@samjones0528 you can never unsee this film.

[thewhitebrazilian]

epicest scene of all time

[rifter7777]

Is that Anderson Cooper, when he was a kid, playing the banjo?

[TexDad1971]

I don't think the locals hate the out-of-towners. They love 'em......in the butt lol.

[purplepeopleeatr97]

aww look at the little inbred! haha (jkjk)

[justarandomguy80]

@purplepeopleeatr97 How do you know what an inbred looks like?

[purplepeopleeatr97]

@justarandomguy80 i just kno these things...haha....sorry if i offended anyone!!

[KiteSwift]

lol yeah there is the tune to yankee doodle in there. well spotted XD

[mustbejames1]

banjo rocks....i like how the inbred kid didnt shake his hand...very powerful on what the basis of the movie is about locals hating out of towners....esp these crazy locals

[ChelzeaAnne]

I am learning this song on guitar (the slow bit at the start) xxx God Bless

[ChelzesAnne]

What is the guy playing the guitar called ??

[TexDad1971]

@ChelzesAnne that's Ronny Cox.

[ChelzesAnne]

Best scene EVER  =)

[fluffeesh]

2:56

melbourne shuffle king, right there.

[findapartmentnow]

The child actor is not mentally damaged..he just looks the part. He's not even playing 99% of it; the rest was played by a world famous banjo player, cleverly hidden behind him. This child actor went on to make a decent living in that area, giving tours of the movie set, etc. His reaction at the end..turning his head away...was accomplished cuz he hated Ned Beatty; hence Ned's appearance. It's the only way the director could get that reaction, cuz the kid liked Ronny Cox.

[findapartmentnow]

OK - it's now taken me at least 40 viewings to understand the lines from about 1:40 to 1:56...tell me if I'm wrong. Ned Beatty says "blah blah genetic deficiencies blah blah" and the local comes up and says (I THINK...THIS is the part I've been straining to hear): "Who's pickin' the banjo here?". Is this what everyone else hears? Truly, it took me at LEAST 40 viewings to finally understand what was being said, which is a shame, cuz it's one of the best lines of the movie.

[ShanaBaby00]

this, my friends, is what we call a savant.

[Lichdecayer]

amazing

[bradratfrog186]

most recanisable scene in the world

[ItsThatViking]

GAAAHHH!!! He's so creepy! *Shudder*

[dudemantwo]

This is what Pennsylvania is like between Philly and Pittburgh...

[StevoDesign]

Best movie scene every, hands down.

[kepr1]

"give him a couple bucks." perfect example of white liberal guilt

[stickitupyourasteric]

@kepr1 that was a good one

[NOGPROD]

Wow. I didn't know Point Lookout was a real place. XD

[seanburi]

This song is called Dueling Banjos by Eric Weissberg and your name is ReganChambers you lazy git :o)

[Ramadl59]

I thought the song was "yanky doodle"???

[ReganChambers]

is this a song and if thats the case whats the song name?

[titaniumcreed]

i love this scene

[ftf1987]

look at that old dude dance....and they say white people cant.

[lordofdarkdudes]

this movie is so bad.

the only good part is this banjo scen

[masterDevis]

Man, that's a good picker right there. YEEEEHAAAW!!!

[vonKressenstein]

Those are the "real Amerikuns" sarah palin and the rethugkicans like to talk about.

[SimpleYetEffective]

America would be a better place if there were more screwballs like these,and less like the turds you see on "the hills" and all that other west coast spoiled brat related nonsense!

[greenops]

@SimpleYetEffective you do know that these types of people and up butt raping a guy later?

[AdmiralKumar]

@SimpleYetEffective -- so you want more hillbillies, than high end socialites, who you could effectively bang?

[TheAdmiralKumar1]

@AdmiralKumar ...we know ya' prefer the socialites, especially when they give it to you in the butt, and then salute...

[CanIgetahottub]

@SimpleYetEffective Didn't these people end up violently raping of the main characters?

[vicious6667]

@CanIgetahottub just one of them .. Ned Beattie

[SimpleYetEffective]

@CanIgetahottub not these guys,it was others,but i'd take creepy hillbillies over spoiled brats any day!

[haybox123]

@CanIgetahottub i know right? wtf?????? loool

[DraigProductions]

@SimpleYetEffective good comment

[MouthsLikSdwndrMisls]

@SimpleYetEffective minus the whole, raping and killing innocent people thing. But yeah...

[kommisar]

@SimpleYetEffective Oh, right, because that podunk town was a paradise, and the toothless, inbred, "screwball" locals did nothing messed up later on in the movie....

Your argument is bullshit.

[yoshiguy123]

@SimpleYetEffective Yeah more incest kids please. :I

[TomDukenowski]

We won, move on.

[mondaysmainevent]

The guy playing the banjo is named Billy Redden. He lives in Clayton, GA and is a regular Joe. The character he played in Deliverance is named Lonnie (sadly, thats my name as well). Hope no one I know discovers the coincidence!

[LNxHC]

dont worry bro its not like you posted it on youtube... oh wait

[seahawks2043]

ive never seen this....do they tell him y the kid turned away from him like that at the end?

[adamnorten]

He and his people hate outsiders. At the most famous part of the movie the mountain men grab one of the group of canoers and and sodomize him. The famous line is "Squeal like a pig!"

For the rest of the movie the canoers try to escape and the mountain men try to kill them.

[Macclenn]

John Voight was better looking than his daughter. I forgot he used to be so good looking.

[WiseMonki]

lol.... some Americans. They make me smile. My warm and kind regards,

[warwickman3]

thats amazing and i saw it before and still love it amazing

[brassmonkey20fan]

west virgianias state song

[kparke01]

If you're going to insult West Virginia, at least learn how to spell asshole.

[brassmonkey20fan]

Oh Sorry i thought thats how people in west virginia  spelled it

[brassmonkey20fan]

West virgianias state song

[bazadata]

One of my favourites. And as I am the DJ in control - here's one for my Mum and Dad.... Guess? It's the boogie woogle bugle boy from company B. Now doodlyana

[dudemantwo]

Is the bald guy a Democrat or Republican?

[collegegoer45]

damn i wish i could play this

[fister69]

what a great banjo picking dont know who did the picking but great

[tonkotsuday]

was that make-up on that little lad or did he really look like that?

[punchamime]

i think he was autistic or something

[dantedraco]

People with autism don't usually look different. Maybe fetal alchohol syndrome might be a closer call.

[punchamime]

yeah you're right...i meant down's syndrome i guess i was thinking bout autism when i typed it

[Asrahn]

It's a result of inbreeding, lad.

If I remember correctly someone points it out in the movie. Additionally, the symptomes of the kid point towards it as well.

[punchamime]

yeah in the movie...the real life guy is actually normal just really ugly. he played in Big Fish too i cant remember what his name was but if anyone wants to know they can google it.

[SimpleYetEffective]

Fuck the banjo kid....Whats wrong with the guy in the rapist hat,dancing like a fool!

[seahawks2043]

most people with autism (those that communicate) are quite intelligent 2

[Macclenn]

I don't think it was make up. I think they used a lot of locals in that movie. Creepy as it is, there are plenty of kids that look like that in certain parts of the country.

[adelfred]

One of my all time favorite movie scenes. Thank you for sharing. ***** Favorite
