Tremors...scene took place in Burt Gummer's underground recreation room when a Graboid broke through the wall, and he and his wife, Heather, took it out with a variety of really cool weaponry! Love that scene...especially the last line.
Best survivalist movie scene...

Tremors! A movie that's so bad it's good!
I have seen it several times, but would watch it again in a heartbeat.
I like a lot of things , will mention the car that's pulled into the ground with the lights on and radio playing.

I like the scene in "The Survivors" when Robin Williams realizes he has the wrong ammo for his rifle and asks the guy trying to kill him for a time out while he gets the correct ammo. I can't remember the name of the other movie I saw but there is a scene where everyone is telling tall stories about the west. On man tells a story of being chased into a box canyon by hundreds of warriers trying to kill him. He has a rifle and side arm, as I recall it, to defend himself. Someone asks him what happened. He said: "I got killed of course!"
The second movie was "Mountain Men." Here is the story:
Bill Tyler: Say, uh, Henry... ain't no need for you to fight your way into that village. We could join up after...
Henry Frapp: [Interrupting] I ever tell you about the time the 'Rapahos chased me up a canyon over in the Big Lost?
Bill Tyler: No, but I reckon you're gonna tell me.
Henry Frapp: Well, it was over on the Horse Prairie. This band of 'Rapahos had been chasing me three days. So I seen this canyon. I figured I'd whip in there, and then I'll slip out. Trouble was that there was a way in but there wasn't no way out at all. Nothin' but cliffs half a mile high all the way around. A whole damn tribe of Blackfoot down there... just madder than turpentined wildcats. So I holed up behind some rocks' but that didn't do no good... because they just kept on a-comin', entire Sioux nation. Me outta powder, outta lead. *******, I was one scared ******!
Bill Tyler: I thought you said they was 'Rapaho.
Henry Frapp: No, *******it! They was Pawnee!
Bill Tyler: Well, what happened to you?
Henry Frapp: Well, I got killed, of course!

Since I live near the river that it was filmed on, I vote for "Deliverance".

And then he ran around his cabin looking for ammo muttering "long and skinny not short and fat".

My nephew is a Professor with a Doctorate and met the father of the young lady that played Rhonda. When he commented on that the Father said something like "You seem like an intelligent young man but I usually question the intelligence of those who enjoy my daughters movies".
Smart kid he just has the same taste as the rest of us in movies.

Aloha,
I saw the last Tremors that takes place in Africa.
I did not think to much of it, especially the part where Burt ended up in his underwear in the cage getting p'd on by the lion.

That would be the PeeDee river, would it not?
Yeah, I rate the five movies, from best to worst, as 1, 4, 2,3, and lastly 5...five was pretty bad. I did like the old west premise of the fourth film, especially when Hiram got his first gattling gun!

In the movie, the name was fictionalized and called the Cahulawassee River. The actual name is the Chattooga River. It forms the border of SC and GA in the northern highlands.
A decade ago, while I still had marginally enough strength for the trip, I rafted the route shown in the movie with a local outfitter. It was beautiful and exhausting. There were also many jokes about banjos and pigs squealing.

Hey, Charlton Heston did a pretty good survivalist move in "The Ten Commandments"...all that time in the desert....towing that whole crowd with him...and those cranky Egyptians chasin' him.
He was a survivalist when survivalin' wasn't cool.

Definitely rough country there!
Back in the 60's some rough people back in there!

Though rugged, running the river is a great way to spend a day. We got a guided raft for my husband and I, our son and granddaughter and made lasting memories, and got thrown from the raft several times.
Husband and I falling out.
Raft flipping.
Will Geer cackling as he leads the grizzly into the cabin then flying out
the window leaving Jeremiah Johnson alone with a trapped bear.

Jeremiah Johnson was the ultimate survivalist, what with all them Injuns tryin' to get his scalp.
He carried a .30 but his fortunes turned when he found the .50
"I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do leaveth my rifle to the next thing who finds it, Lord hope he be a white man. It is a good rifle, and kilt the bear that kilt me. Anyway, I am dead. Sincerely, Hatchet Jack."

The other Banjo dueler was NM Good Old Boy Ronny Cox.
Ronny was at an disadvantage, he was dueling with a guitar.
That's like taking a knife to a gunfight.
