Plot
Purdieliverance is the second in a series of 21st Century Silent Spoofs by Rex Harsin, a 21st Century Silent Filmmaker. The film parodies and pays tribute to the 1972 classic 'Deliverance' starring Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight. Purdieliverance, named so because the star of the 21st Century Silent Comedies name is Purdie, follows three friends through a humorous and adventurous trek down the river and through the woods. The key scenes and concepts of the 1972 film (Dueling Banjos, Squeal like a Pig, the Treacherous Rock Wall Climb) film are spoofed and made into humorous sight gags. The film is accompanied by a silent-film styled piano score that incorporates the classic Dueling Banjos theme.
