'Deliverance' Filming Locales - Chattooga River, Georgia - Ep. 34

I visit the Chattooga River in the northeast corner of Georgia where the entirety of the canoeing sequences in 'Deliverance' were shot. In the film and novel it is a fictional river called the Cahulawassee. This atmospheric and eerie river does not disappoint in real life! Winding and full of rapids, it is just as amazing and dangerous as it appears in the film, if not more so! #deliverance #cinematic

This short film makes me want to see "Deliverance" once again! Nice work!

Watched it again last weekend with a friend who had never seen it, she liked it. She said it was slow, but I convinced her that it had to be, I’ve had many of experiences that just needed to set in and be silent.
One thing that always confused me was they were wearing clothes that would be miserable that time of year. Clearly it’s summer and the humidity and heat had to be high, they have on jackets and Bert is wearing a wetsuit vest!!
My favorite line of as when Bert went the wrong way and one of the brothers said “it’s only the biggest river in the Fkn state!”
Looking forward to part two.

Those scenes in "Deliverance" looked dark and dreary. I have not watched it in a long time but I don't remember seeing much sunshine in it.
There's a lot of beautiful fall foliage and sunshine in this video, but it looks like it can have a deep dark forest in parts of it I'm sure. They could have filmed on the cloudy days. Some of the scenes appeared to have taller cliffs along the river as well. I wonder how deep the movie crew had to go to haul a bunch of heavy equipment into that forest.

I live in wnc and i can tell you one really big mistake in that movie. our mountains are quiet. they dont sound like some african jungle with all kinds of crazy bird noises like in the scene with that one guy and his bow and arrow.

I prefer to see shots from the actual movie and then compare it to how it looks now. Not getting that in this video.
