![]() ![]() Lewis, who believes Drew has been shot, encourages Ed to climb to the top of the gorge and dispatch the other mountain man, whom they believe to be stalking them from above. ![]() Lewis breaks his femur and the others are washed ashore alongside him in a gorge. The canoes collide on the rocks, spilling the three remaining men into the river. As Drew and Ed reach the rapids in the lead canoe, Drew shakes his head and falls headlong into the water - it is unclear why. The four continue downriver but the canoes reach a dangerous stretch of rapids. After a brief but hotheaded debate between Lewis and Drew, Ed and Bobby vote to side with Lewis's plan to bury the body and continue on as if nothing had happened. Just as Ed himself is about to be raped, Lewis sneaks up and kills the rapist using his bow and arrow Ed retrieves the gun and the remaining mountain man flees into the woods. The unarmed man violently sodomizes Bobby, demanding he "squeal like a pig", while Ed is bound to a tree and held at gunpoint. Following a verbal altercation, Bobby is forced by the men to undress. Ed and Bobby land, and encounter a pair of mountain men emerging from the woods, one carrying a shotgun and missing two front teeth. The four friends travel in pairs and their two canoes become separated. However, the boy does not acknowledge Drew when prompted for a congratulatory handshake. The duel is mutually enjoyable, and some of the locals break into dance at the sound of it. At a local gas station, Drew, with his guitar, engages a young banjo-playing boy in a musical duel (" Dueling Banjos"). En route to their launch site, the men (Bobby in particular) are condescending towards the locals, who are unimpressed by the "city boys". Lewis, an experienced outdoorsman, is the leader his close friend Ed has been on several trips but lacks Lewis's machismo, while Bobby and Drew are novices. Four Atlanta businessmen-Lewis Medlock, Ed Gentry, Bobby Trippe and Drew Ballinger-decide to canoe down a river in the remote northern Georgia wilderness before it is dammed. ![]()
