It's a shame that Deliverance is only known for that scene. The previous hour and a half of the movie were amazing.

Jon Voight is a gentleman, interviewer ignored him, but he didn't try to make a fuss about it.

They're all legends, RIP Burt Reynolds. Yes, the interviewer was awful, Not one question for Voight.

Robin Williams gave Ned Beatty the biggest compliment (in his standup routine) after he saw this movie. He said, Ned went WAAAY beyond the call of duty in the squeal like a pig scene. I agree. I doubt many actors -- or anybody else -- would have had the courage to do it. Hats off to Mr. Beatty!!!

Imagine getting these four legends together and asking Mickey Mouse to interview them!

Probably the best actor there didnt even get asked a question.

During this entire interview, watch how Voight has this "all knowing" and recognition of the event. You can see it in his eyes. He remains quiet, and humble, while he amongst them is the most acclaimed actor. The interviewer focuses on "Burt this," and "Burt that." Jon keeps his cool, quite impressively.

As old as I am, I saw Deliverance for the first time about 6 years ago. I had no idea what it was about. Nobody I knew had talked about and so when I did finally get to see it, it blew my mind. Great film.

Really enjoyed the way the interviewer made sure to ask John Voight a lot of great questions.

If you have never seen this film, stop right now and watch it. It is an epic, archetypical film of the everyman (Jon Voight), the fool (Ned Beatty), the wild man (Burt Reynolds), and the civilized man (Ronny Cox). They enter a situation where to survive, the everyman must draw upon his nascent wild man, his fool, and his civilized man. He must do this or he will die. Such an epic film.

I saw Deliverance on the big screen in the 70's as a kid ... it was harrowing and never left me.

Good job completely ignoring Jon Voight - get a clue next time.

The interviewer was HORRIBLE. What about Jon Voight?????? He is an awesome actor, one who never gets the credit he deserves.

Hollyweird will never produce this caliber of actors or film again. These MEN are legends, a dying breed. I am glad I was alive and got to witness greatness when it was REAL. RIP Burt, I hope you are with all your favorite pals in the beyond. God Bless all these guys.

These guys were incredible in that movie. Brando and Lee Marvin were the ones who were offered the major roles for this movie, but Marvin decline and told Boorman (director) to go with younger actors. Brando and Marvin were both 48, Burt was 36 and Jon 34 at that time. No one could've done better in these roles than these guys.

Terrible questions. Can you guys send an adult next time?

It was great to see these 4 together again.. Ronny Cox is 82.. Jon Voight is 82 and Ned Beatty is 83. R.I.P. Burt Reynolds you are truly missed.

Just Ronny and Jon left from the gang. RIP Burt and Ned x Thank you for your contribution to one of the greatest films of all time 📽🎬

To get these guys together, and then, ask them lousy questions. Ugh.

The interviewer did not direct one question to John Voight.

Jon Voight is probably the most accomplished Actor of the bunch and they didn't ask him ONE QUESTION!

Deliverance has that power that The Deer Hunter has. The kind of movie that is so visceral. I can't eat while watching these kind of movies. The emotional exhaustion is quite physical; as the viewer, you feel in your gut the struggle to survive and the strength of alliances.

So much potential for a great interview...

so f HAPPY to see the original cast reunited 40 years later

The interviewer hopefully has other career options. Terrible job with such great material.

Ned Beatty has been deceased since Covid 19. Jon Voigt and Ronny Cox is still here.

When they started talking about stunts I thought "finally a question for Voight", who climbed the canyon wall. But noooo ...

I'm a woman and this is one of my favourite movies. One of those movies that, when it comes on TV, I'll stop whatever I'm doing to watch it. All of these guys are a few years short of 80 years old. So, if they look frail, that's why.

4 brilliant actors and one classic movie !

5:36 Jon Voight scoffs at the fact that the interviewer has bypassed him yet again.He said in an interview that in the dinning room scene at the boarding house it was an easy scene to evoke tears in.He knew that the food was prepared by the folks at the table for that scene,and understood the labor involved in bring it to the table. He focused on the fact the extras were down to earth local folks.They were kind to the crew and he was touched by their humbleness.

This is one of the best movies ever made, with some of the best actors, being interviewed by the worst fucking interviewer ever.

WOW!!! How rude to not include Jon Voight in conversation!!

I love Jon Voight!! Great movie!! One of my sons favorite movies!

I saw it when I was ten years old. I experienced the "Squeal like a pig!" scene as something very intense, but I didn't fully comprehend what was going on. For years I could insert the words "Squeal like a pig!" into a crowd of people with immaculate timing although I still didn't fully comprehend the reference. Some years into my adulthood i saw the scene again, "OMG!" :D

What happened to a quality interview? So much is not spoken. Jon Voight, you are truly a legend and a Godly man! Burt, I remember some great Gunsmoke movies also.

Deliverance just aired today on TCM in 2020 and that movie holds up very well to this day. I wanted to hear more from the actors, the interview was too short, but it was good to see the entire cast and Ned Beatty is a very good actor and they also aired Network which Ned Beatty was also in and he was so different in this role than he was in Deliverance. He was powerful in Network. All of them are very good actors, they are solid and they make excellent movies.

Happy 80th Birthday Jon Voight

John Voight sat in front of me on a plane, then we get off he's in front of me on line and I couldn't muster myself to say a word to him. But he's an incredible actor. Burt was amazing in this movie and so was everyone else.

This was my favorite role Burt ever played. I wanted to see this character again in another film. Burt brought an intensity to that character that made you believe when he went into action, nothing was going to stop him.

Why is it that they don't make movies like this anymore? I realize I'm getting old but not every movie has to be that sci-fi crap! Enough already. And congrats to these gents and John Boorman for delivering such a gem of a movie.

Wow! Legendary actors all in one sitting! Love it

Has to be the worst interview as far as questions go that I have ever seen.

To have all these actors together .... WHERE did they get the terrible announcer? Holy cow. Missed opportunity to talk with these guys.

I read “Deliverance” when I was in high school and it was an excellent book. I reread it and enjoyed it just as much the second time.

Still on my personal top ten films of all time. Brilliant editing and acting. If this were made today, the white water scenes would be much more intense but they didn't have the cgi effects back then so it was magnificently filmed for its time.

I would like to meet Ned someday, he could always play such a convincing character no matter which roll he did.

Four excellent actors, the most accomplished as far as classic, great movies is Jon Voight. This interviewer barely even spoke to him, asked him questions, or even referenced his work. He should have asked the Midnight Cowboy a few questions about the film "Deliverance" or some of his other work.

That scene still scares the shit out of me no matter how many times I see it. The whole movie was amazing. Yes Burt, it was the best film you ever did. I love you in it❤️

I love how they're specifically there to talk about Deliverance. And then the interviewer begins asking about other films

One of my favorite movies. ❤ A great ensemble cast. Best film of 1972 in my opinion. Ned should have been Oscar nominated. He was excellent throughout as was Burt.

Just saw this movie the other night. What a powerful film. The level of commitment by the cast & crew was amazing. No CGI here, folks. That really is these four guys going down those rapids. That really is Jon Voight scaling that cliff. No studio would insure them. Guess you could get away with that in the 70's. Would never happen nowadays. And Burt, youda man! He brings a magnificent virile presence to this movie reminiscent of Gable in the 30's.

Amazing actors

Burt Reynolds has at times in his career been the butt of the joke, but here he's intelligent, articulate, enlightening and a gentleman.

These guys are legends. Sure do miss Burt.

THANK YOU MR. RONNY COX!! You've deliberately hit the nail right on the head for speaking the truth of leaving the original material the Fuck alone directed by Paul Verhoven's ROBOCOP & Total Recall

Deliverance is the film I always return to. Every actor is incredible and the message holds up today. Brilliant.

Still a movie that stands the test of time. Thanks guys!

Deliverance revolutionized the action/adventure genre for me when I first saw it and, even if I had to view it more than once to appreciate that, I'm glad it did. Deliverance was to action/adventure what Blade Runner was to SF, The Crying Game to drama and Pulp Fiction to comedy. Thank you all, Jon, Burt, Ned and Ronny for Deliverance. 🛶

Ned Beatty should have one an academy award!

Ed: I thought they'd surely kill us Lewis: They would have!,, would have for sure. scene sends chills up my spine every time i watch it

How come there was not one question for Jon Voight? Arguably the most accomplished actor in the bunch..

Time will never erase the iconic history of these 4 outstanding men!

At the time that the movie was made, Burt was in the best shape of all of the four and that's what makes this interview so sad. RIP Burt.

tremendous acting by all four of these actors....they all should have won awards for their performances in this film...

I saw a print of Deliverance on the big screen in the early 90's. The print was in pretty bad shape and made Vilmos' day for night stuff look crazy. Even so, the film held up really well and still left the audience stunned. As we quietly walked out, I joked that it was the feel good movie of '72 and everyone relaxed.

Great movie...especially in the 70's...really groundbreaking and authentic.

i’ve seen the director’s uncut version of this film. it’s even more fantastic. 🙈🙉

Interview overlooked Jon Voight!

70% of the questions to me weren't even about the film

They don't make Great Films like this anymore.

The interview may not have been a great example BUT these guys make this sitting. They are all legends in the industry and have made some excellent films, what is so very good about this occasion is that they are all there together talking about one of their greatest movies AND one of the most entertaining movies of all time.

On the TV show "King of Queens", Jerry Stiller is watching a movie on his television. Another character walks in and he says, "Okay, I'll be right with you". Before he shuts off the set he shakes his head in admiration and says, "Nobody squeals like Mr. Ned Beatty".

They should ask Jon Voight some questions too. He got a real purty mouth aint he :D:D:D

Alot of nuance in this film. You can watch it a hundred times and draw something different from it each time. I think it is classic Americana. The rape scene at the time, was so utterly shocking that it hit raw nerves at the time. But, it does help clarify that rape isn't about sex, it's about power and control. I take my hat of to the actors and everyone involved in creating this film. It is in my collection and I still watch it regularly. A brilliant, brilliant film. I wish the interviewer had asked John Voight some questions though. His character in my opinion was the most thought provoking in the film. Sure Burt Reynolds tends to get the most attention, but the next time you watch the film, pay particular attention to John Voight's character. Complex yet simple, and he nailed it.

Almost 50 years later and this movie is more relevant than ever.

Jon Voight is one of the best actors ever, and also a terrific person. The interviewer snubbed him.

He was good in Deliverence RIP Burt.

This movie is a masterpiece!💝

This interview was a slap in the face to Jon Voight.

So hard to watch bt so glad I didn't miss it 1 of my fave scenes is John Voight trying to act like all is normal at the dinner with the town folks n remembering all he'd been thru n breaking dwn. Such a compelling scene

R.I.P. Burt!

Chris Farley was a better interviewer. "Hey remember that time you were in the Beatles? That was cool..."

Ronny Cox speaking for the human race on the subject of Hollywood remakes. Well said.

Many years ago, I saw *Straw Dogs* and *Deliverance* weeks apart and they instantly became linked forevermore in my mind, not just because of their temporal proximity of release, but because of the similar feel and overlapping themes of the two movies. It was only much later that I discovered that Peckinpah was slated to direct the Duelling Banjos classic, before Boorman took the reins of that film. Whatever, both great films and both starkly showing to humanity just how thin that crispy veneer of ‘civilisation’ really is.

Jon seems to be such a good person whenever I see him interviewed that it's hard to understand why his daughter, Angeline, wont speak to him. I can only think that she must be the problem.

4:43 - Could not agree more. Well said, Ronny.

Talk about an ensemble cast...all four gave brilliant performances, one of the alltime best of all their careers

Appalling interview. Deliverance is such a deep and iconic movie it deserved more respect than focussing on a rape scene or superficial questions about Burt Reynolds’ career (and Burt graciously giving the credit to the movie)

why was Jon Voight ignored?

We need a longer interview. Jon didn't say anything. I love this movie as well as many of the movies that all of the actors have done.

Poor interviewing

This is one of my favorite movies. The amazing way in which burt and jon's role changed after burt was incapacitated will stay with me forever. In addition, we were fortunate enough to raft down this river.

yes, this was certainly Burts' finest moment as an actor...they were all great

What a incredible interview with these four actors. What I liked about this interview. All four actors answered the questions very professional. Not laughing a acting like fools. Nice to see this. Some interviews with sports, rock bands or even other actors would give stupid answers. These guys were true to the answers. Thank you for a great clip.

Easily THE most haunting, famous, infamous, and unforgettable scene in the history of motion pictures. The late Bill McKinney was a close, personal friend. He was a true, humble, affable, sensitive, gentleman, and an extraordinary actor. After months of knowing him, I timidly inquired if I could ask him about that scene that he doubtlessly would be labeled and quizzed about from the moment the film was released until his passing. As the class act he always was to all who knew him, he welcomed my question. My question was, "How did such a soft and kind gentleman, find that sadistic, perverted character?" He answered, "I was imitating the bullies that used to beat me up when I was a kid." Often unmentioned and overlooked, is THE line of the movie, when Ronny Cox said, "This isn't one of your damned games, Lewis!" Then Cox turned and said to Jon Voight, "Think about this. It will be the most important decision that you ever make in your life." Burt Reynolds said to Voigt, "He's right. This IS the ,most important decision you will ever make". Then he turned to Cox and said, "But you're DAMNED wrong if you don't think this is a game." While I agree with most who've commented about the ineptitude of the interviewer, somehow he got the privilege. Being in the business myself, if I joined in the bashing, I only would be correctly accused of professional jealousy, so I'll simply say congrats for his getting the gig.

Thats's the best interviewer they could find for an historic reunion.

Pretty good interview, but the interviewer totally ignores Jon Voight and his work. Voight had a pretty illustrious career himself, with Midnight Cowboy, Coming Home, etc. but the interviewer mostly focused on Toy Story and the Bandit when discussing their past successes.

Burt looked in great shape in the film yet he looks the most fragile one here out the 4 of them now, great to see them all still alive though 40 years on.

good to see that there still alive doing well

Only 7 minutes? I would have made this an hour long interview.
