Redneck exploitation films

The spawn of Hal Needham, the DeMille of southern drive-in entertainment. My fave obscurity is 'Rolling Vengeance', a straight-to-video revenge drama in the 'Walking Tall' mode about evil hicks being vanquished by a giant monster truck with oil-drilling auger attached. Any more good ones come to mind? (I loved "Gun Crazy" and "Kalifornia" but they were too 'arty' for this thread). Must have the words "Shee-it, Paw!" in the dialogue frequently.

What about "Freeway"? I don't think it's redneck expo but you have to love Reese Witherspoon's white trash portrayal.

10000 MANIACS!

I Spit on Your Grave. It doesn't have any "shee-it"s in it but it's got plenty of genital mutilation. The screaming is actually done with bad hillbilly accents.

Did they ever make an Andy Griffith movie? WHY NOT??

Isn't it 2,000 Maniacs? Anyway, it's great.

I Spit on Your Grave isn't exactly Hal Needham material. Though Burt Reynolds has his hand in both jars (Deliverance and basically every Hal Needham movie). Does that make him the Jimmy Stewart of crackerjack trash? My fav: Over the Top (Stallone plays troubled trucker who wins a beautiful new 18 wheeler and custody of his son (or something like that) in an arm wrestling tournament). Is Texas Chainsaw Massacre too arty?

Gummo?

Gummo is the equivalent of that Sean Connery movie where he plays a lawyer that goes down to some southern swamp to free an unjustly accused black man and finds a bunch of alligators and crooked wardens that want to kill him. Except it's good. Carpetbag trash, perhaps.
