If James Dickey were to write the screenplay for "Deliverance" today, the "squeal like a pig" scene would have turned out completely differently. Today, the governor of Georgia signed House Bill 60 which, according to Greg Bluestein writing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
. . . allows Georgians to legally carry firearms in a wide range of new places, including schools, bars, churches and government buildings.
The guys wouldn't have gotten in any trouble for turning the tables in the situation, because, according to Georgia governor Nathan Deal,
"People who follow the rules can protect themselves and their families from people who don’t follow the rules."
because
"The Second Amendment should never be an afterthought. It should reside at the forefronts of our minds."
I think I'll look into what it would take to get the rights to do a rewrite . . . I can envision some really neat plot twists . . . Does anyone have any contacts in Hollywood?
