RIP. Frightening when you look at a recent photo of him. 
May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil know`s you`re dead!

He has been ill for some time in fairness Nereus. Still a shock though.

Deliverance might be the only decent movie he did.

Yes, understandable. I saw the likes of Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit in my early teens. Deliverance scared the cr@p out of me it has to be said.handdrummer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 10:46 amProbably would have been had I seen them at a young age. As an adult they just seemed silly.
As an aside, I've not seen the movie but reportedly a great performance from Bruce in "Boogie Nights".

I read that Reynolds hated that film. Don't know why.
Are we allowed asides without disturbing the topic at hand?
