#37 DELIVERANCE (1972)
NED BEATTY
SQUEALS LIKE A PIG
Poor
Ned Beatty. Despite having a respectable acting career that spans 30
years, it's his "Squeal Like a Pig" rape scene in his debut film
Deliverance that he'll be most remembered for. Aside from being
eaten by a great white shark, the thing men fear the most is
hillbilly rape. The seen is just insane, as poor ol' chubby Ned is
squealing while getting poked from behind. Tarantino paid a clear
homage to it in Pulp Fiction when Ving Rhames got a bit of hillbilly
lovin' in the basement of a gun shop, as well.
What's
weird is that Beatty continued to be featured in rape scenes
throughout the rest of his career. He was raped by Richard Pryor in
Silver Streak, Gene Hackman in Superman, Christopher Reeve in
Superman II, and both Gene Hackman AND Christopher Reeve in Superman
III.
