Herbert "Cowboy" Coward, who as the sadistic toothless man in John Boorman's Deliverance terrorized canoeists and audiences alike with the chilling line, "He got a real pretty mouth, ain't he?," has been killed in a car accident. He was 85.
Coward died Wednesday when the Nissan he was driving was struck by a pickup truck driven by a 16-year-old in Haywood County, North Carolina, North Carolina State Highway Patrol officials told WLOS-TV.

Was he the Coward of the county?
I do like that very dark movie. But you have to be in the right mood for it to really work.
(And the wife has to be away…)
If your not a Southerner you might not really get everything that movie depicts.
Helps to have a purdy mouth too.
His acting performance as a Sodomite in “Deliverance” probably kept the real Sodomites in America in the closet for 2 decades. Americans were so sickened and repulsed by Homosexuality as portrayed in this movie, there was a backlash against hippie homosexuality
Nothing against the man himself, but that character he played is a vicious stereotype and phantasm that lives in the minds and manufactured religion of leftist, arrogant and narrow-minded urban American elites across the nation.
You mean it disparages homos?
Stereotype, sure. Phantasm? Nope. They do exist. Maybe you just dont recognize them today with the titles of Senator or Your Honor...
Well hell man, ALL Southerners are toothless rednecks.....everybody knows that......and we’re all racists as well. We all have a moonshine still in our backyard and most of us married a first cousin!
You’d be shocked how many people actually believe that bullshit.
Who can ever forget, “ you got a pretty mouth” and “squeal like a pig “
Two of the most iconic lines in film history...............
LOL!!
The only person I know who married their cousin is a high dollar lawyer from NYC. His wife is his 2nd cousin. The guy has 2 PhDs
I saw it in the 70’s when it came out in the theater. I had to leave.
