Y'all. I had so much fun with this one! It felt like cracking open the dusty yearbook from my small-town high school where the holy trinity was lifted trucks, fast cars, and cowboy boots with huge bonfires every weekend. I remember a kid getting yelled at in Gym pretty much every day for wearing his cowboy boots instead of sneakers and his absolute refusal to change into any other footwear hahaha. I've definitely jammed out to East Bound and Down during a few of those bonfire weekends never realizing it was made for THIS movie. And when that realization hit, my world felt like it completely shifted for a moment!There's something about that Southern charm-meets-rebel energy that hit home in the most nostalgic way for me. Burt Reynolds' grin could start a bar fight and end it with a wink lol. And Sally Field? OMG. Absolute Queen of the runaway brides. I was grinning the whooole time!HUGE shoutout to Code Monkey for this Movie Ticket pick! You may not be hauling 400 cases of Coors across state lines, but you did smuggle this gem right into my watchlist and into my personal favorites! I owe you a Diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper :) Thank you!Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/8vi1kzqRPJoI watched this on Amazon Prime

And this is why I like the cars that I like! They say every good movie has a car chase. We'll this movie IS a car chase!

Phil Stubblefield

Yes! Kali, I'm so glad you loved this film! And your description: "Burt Reynolds' grin could start a bar fight and end it with a wink lol." 😉 Speaking of, you'd also love Hooper (1978), again starring Burt Reynolds and Sally Field, which was released a year after SatB. (You'll get the reference when you see the movie...) And you also nailed Sally Field: "Absolute Queen of the runaway brides." Yup, she did it 22 years before Julia Roberts! 👰 Today is already filled with plans, but I can't wait to find time to sit down and enjoy this trip down memory lane! 😁

kaliwali

Ooo I'll write Hooper down on my watchlist! Thank you!! I hope you love this trip down memory lane with me when you can! I loved the laughs in this one haha

kaliwali

I can see why so many people looooooved the Pontiac Trans Am after this movie came out!! It is definitely THE car chase haha

The Dingo

And yes, people had CB's in the south for sure! CB = Citizen's Band radio. My dad's handle was Modoc - short for Mopar doctor (he was a mechanic) - Mopar was part of Chrysler and was their "motor parts" division for cars like Dodge, Chrysler, etc

Fun reaction! Brings me back to my childhood taking roadtrips with the family. Motioning to Semi trucks to honk their horn 😄 Fun fact: the song Eastbound and Down is sung by Jerry Reed who plays “Snowman”. I think he sang the other songs in the movie as well

Richard

Oh wow I never pictured you with a “redneck” background lol. Glad you had fun with this one!

KJ

I'm still trying to work out how they 'won' with the police still finding the truck with the beer at the end 😂 (I guess because it was for a bet by the eccentric father & son, ultimately)

M1 Maz

Oh man, this was such a fun reaction! This movie just has all the best vibes. And I think the coolest part was that this film served as a reminder that you just never know when and where you'll find a personal connection to a world or story! And that's the really cool part about your reaction journey (and discovering so many movies and shows along the way with you). Also, ever since you announced you'd be watching this one, Eastbound and Down had been constantly playing in my head, and I thought it was from another similar movie that this was reminding me of. But sure enough, it's from here! The mind is never wrong haha :) This movie, along with other similar ones of the time, completely shaped so many of my interests growing up! I'm still a big block muscle car guy to this day thanks to so many of the iconic movie cars like this one haha. And after getting inspired by this watch with you, the question is do I boot up Gran Turismo and take the ol' Trans Am out for a spin, or hop on one of my trucking sims LOL Also.... I'm glad I wasn't the only one getting anxiety from Carrie putting her feet on the dash hahaha

Phil Stubblefield

That's fantastic, @M1 Maz! I grew up in the '70s and also love big blocks! A high school friend of mine had a 1970 Mustang Mach 1, but it wasn't enough engine for him, so he sold it and bought a 1970 Challenger 440 Six-Pack! It sounds like you'll understand when I say that the carburetor linkage was set up so that it ran only only the two middle barrels until you pushed the accelerator most of the way to the floor. But then, holy crap, when those other four barrels kicked in, it would just pin you back in the seat! Almost 50 years later, and it still makes me grin... 😁

Phil Stubblefield

Yup, it's best not to strain your brain too hard with this movie! Just relax and enjoy watching a couple of really good looking people driving a gorgeous car... and listen to that V8 roar! 😁

Phil Stubblefield

I finally had time to sit down and watch your reaction, and it was so much fun! I loved that you already knew "East Bound and Down" without knowing its origin! As others have mentioned, Cledus Snow (a.k.a, the Snowman) was played by Jerry Reed, a country singer turned actor who co-wrote and sang the songs in the movie. And now you understand how this movie single-handedly renewed public interest in muscle cars, which had taken a major hit following the meteoric rise in gas prices during the oil crisis of 1974. I didn't have my license yet, but I remember lines of cars stretching down the block waiting to pump gas. There was also a period during which, at least in California, if your license plate ended in an odd digit, then you could only buy gas on odd dates, and vice versa for even digits! Speaking of cars, if you think they wrecked a lot of police cars in this movie, just wait until you watch The Blues Brothers (1980), as @Lab4 already suggested. Besides having one of the best sound tracks in the history of Hollywood, it concludes with an *epic* car chase that took vehicular chaos to a new level! Finally: Burt Reynolds and Sally Field! What an amazingly good-looking pair of folks! 😲

I don't know if you will read this a couple days later but I was 8 when this movie came out, I didn't get to watch it until it came on TV a couple years later. I begged for a remote control TA for X-mas and got one. Anyway, yes, I remember the trucker era. My dad even installed a CB in his car. I had a notebook for school that had all the code words and what the numbers meant that they said on the CB. This movie is what made a lot of later 70's trucker movies a thing, like the movie Convoy. In high school, I had a 68 Mustang but one of my friends had a blue TA like the Bandit's car. I wanted one but they were a bit out of my price range. Even though I grew up in MO, it sounds like we had similar teenage experiences. I hauled hay in the summers for 10cents a bail and all my friends were rednecks and either had a hot car or a big lifted truck, there was no in between. I haven't seen this movie in years, and although I remember all the iconic lines, it was fun to revisit. Everyone had a crush on Sally Field after this movie. All the girls loved Burt Reynolds. Another great Burt Reynolds movie is The Longest Yard. Maybe someday down the road you can watch it.

Star Wars is also "a product of the 70's"; doesn't get mentioned often. Please add "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing" to your list of Burt Reynolds movies to watch.

SnakeandNape

This movie was my favorite growing up and I always wanted to be a truck driver after seeing this movie. I even had a Basset Hound named Fred. I did eventually go through truck driving school and get my Commercial Driver's License. I have been to nearly every state. I'm local now, mostly Virginia and Maryland. Sometimes I'll take my dog Bear with me in the truck.

Bernie Zwicky

Yes, CB radios were Extremely popular in the 70’s for trucks and cars alike. Sort of like having a social media community on the road 😊

kaliwali

That must have been awesome!

Richard Higgs

Hooper is definitely a good suggestion, also The Cannonball Run (1981) with Burt Reynolds, Don DeLuise and Farrah Fawcett, lots of other famous Actors for the time, lots of fun and fast cars, oh and Jackie Chan.

Ron White

So glad that you "got"so much of this movie and that you had so much fun with it. I've seen some reactors who didnt do as well with it. Your rural upbringing surely helped. Jackie Gleason who played "Sheriff Buford T . Justice of Texas!" Is a show business legend from the early days of TV and Hollywood. His work in the 40s, 50s and early 60s earned him iconic status among his show business peers and critics. His TV show "The Honeymooners" Is still considered one of the original and greatest Sitcoms of all time. A few years after this movie Burt Reynolds received a lifetime achievement award at a Hollywood gala. The hit of the night was when Gleason made an unannounced appearance in character as Buford T. Justice to read Burt the riot act and brought the house down.
