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.
Genres: Comedy, Short,Standing on the edge of a quay no lights flashing on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens my eyes silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night listen to the rising water moan
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
Shadows all through me shudder away echo me echo me (echo me)
Am I alone or is the river alive cause it echos me, echos me, echos me
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
Waiting (waiting) waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting (waiting)
Waiting for the night boat waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
