Four guys, Ed (John Voight), Lewis (Burt Reynolds), Bobby (Ned Beatty), and Drew (Ronny Cox) decide to go on a camping trip and canoe on a river before a dam is built on the land.

They're lost and go to a gas station they find and ask the locals to help them find the river. Drew bonds with a kid there by playing Dueling Banjos with him on their instruments.

Lewis brought a bow and arrow with him. Ed tries to use it, but gets nervous, exposition for later in the film.

While canoeing, Ed and Bobby make a stop in the woods where they encounter locals, who to say the least aren't too happy to see them. Or maybe are depending on how you look at it.

Those who never saw the movie, if they know anything about it, know of the scene where Ned Beatty is sodomized by one of the hillbillies and told to “squeal like a pig”. Since this blog is mostly read by middle-aged people with adolescent minds, here's that scene. It's age-restricted because of course it is:

This is only in the first half of the movie, but happens at the end of the parody.

They're about to rape Ed next but Lewis comes and saves him at the last minute with his bow and arrow. The other guy runs away and the guys decide to dispose of the body Lewis killed.

They rush back to where they were. One of the canoes is broken by the rapids and Drew loses his life being washed away. Lewis breaks his arm and Bobby is too fat, so it's up to Ed to get rid of the other hillbilly that's trying to kill them. He has a standoff with the local using the bow and arrow he now has the confidence to use and gets the hillbilly and they dispose of that body too.

The three surviving members need to get their stories straight before they return, and are rehabilitated by the hospital and church before going back home.

Not shown in the parody is their being told to get out of town and never return, which seems like a plothole since the town would soon be flooded by the dam anyway.

Update: Co-incidentally, Ned Beatty died this very day. I need to stop killing off actors with this blog.
