Water, bonding and all time buggery classic: squeal like a pig boy.

Jon Voight plays Ed Gentry, Burt Reynolds is Lewis Medlock,
Ned Beatty as Bobby Trippe and Ronny Cox is Drew Ballinger

"A few more fart jokes would have helped."

"It's a very dark journey into hell and back, but, ironically, the actual lighting is perfect in this movie,. Congratulations to the cinematographer for a job well lit."

"I have rarely stormed out of a movie half way through and then thought again mid storm and stormed back to my seat again, but that bit in the forest when he squeals like a pig has warmed many a lonely night since. Bravisimo totalitarismo!"

"A across between Stand By Me and Deer Hunter."

"If he kills one more little fishy with that f-word off big spear I will scream!"

"Burt Reynolds' body hair never fails to impress. Hairy in all the right places but without looking like a carpet."

Three of the four survive, both of the baddies are killed.

A triumphant 1970's rugged disaster fest, of men being boys in a spot of watery and leafy bother.

Like the veritable cat of 6 lives mythology, we are veritably concussed by the quintessential robustness of our quartet of would be toughies having an adventure they will never forget.

Our four friends stumble upon the metaphor of manliness, which includes be-buggerment whilst squealing like pigs, firing off their spear guns and being shot at by men who have not been blessed with the knowledge of dentistry. Beware those of you with capped teeth! Your worst nightmare lurks in this movie!

This is a must see movie, also recommended is The Hitcher which has a similar feel.

"Squeal like a pig boy!"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Bark with fungi growing on it, mushrooms from the forest floor, fresh fish still a'flapping.

In the about to have sex in a canoe with your hands tied behind your back position.

The horrendous Y-fronts incident in the forest still sends shudders down our spine. Thankfully this is the only underpants issue that we had with this movie. The male buggery bit was sheer perfection.

If you live your life sitting in an armchair you will never get faced with incidents like this.

• Anyone with a big underpants fetish
• Anyone who has ever opened a can with a big knife
• Anyone who enjoys fetish animal based play sex
• Anyone who can do farmyard animal impressions (esp of pigs)
• Anyone with a forest phobia who wants to fight their fear in a challenging management training type environment

Never wear big underpants - you never know when some outback inbred will demand that you strip off.

7 minutes

A Burt Reynolds chest and forearm wig.

It is a horror type movie which was very popular in its day (the 1970's). It is all very believable in a horror type way and once the killing starts you know you are in a spiral downwards.

A gripping movie with that famous scene in the forest where our hero is buggered after being told to squeal like a pig.

Could do. A nice effort all round. Well done.

A must see grown up boy movie. Up there with Stand by me but with killing in it and a male rape scene which never fails to waft you back to that farmyard of your youth, or maybe that's just us.

A good actioner, not one to watch with the kids, or aging relatives.
