Two Thousand Maniacs

Movie about a small town in the south that has a centennial celebration. For the celebration, they detour a couple of cars with Yankees in them and call them their “guests of honor”. The townspeople are all waving Dixie flags and trying to separate the Yankees from each other so they can kill them in various ways. It’s pretty creative how they do it and totally hilariously fake. But it’s an OLD movie, so you just deal with it. There’s a barrel roll with nails pounded into the barrel, then there’s a modified dunk tank with a boulder on top, and your basic drawing and quartering. It’s pretty graphic for the time and totally overacted all country bumpkin style. Two of the Yankees try to make a break for it. It’s not really a good movie, but I’ve definitely seen worse. And for the time, I’m sure it was terrifying.
