I just got done watching it, I hadn't seen it from beginning to end in years, it is very disturbing...if it doesn't scare ya, then nothing will. 
a very movng, disturbing movie.
Burt Reynolds always figured it was some of his best work.
By the way, that was HIM going over the falls...he used to be a stunt man, so he did the deed after the boys put a dummy in the canoe and sent it over. Director said it looked like a dummy, going over the falls.
So Burt, very committed to the film, does the stunt. Gets cut, banged up..very edgey stuff. some of the crew winced seeing how close he came to REALLY getting it..he goes over to the director when they were looking at the dailies and asked how THAT looked. The director was waiting. Told him it looked like a dummy, going over the falls.
Burt cracked up laughing.
