This film had an unexpectedly large cultural impact and was always a family favorite (well, the edited-for-TV version, at least for my mom). All of a sudden, everyone, even us city folk, understood trucker jargon like "10-4", "convoy", and "What's your 20?" And the "screaming chicken" Trans Am became an iconic part of American car culture!

Many movies define my cinephile life, but few have had the impact of Smokey and the Bandit. I have such a personal love of this film for so many reasons. I could talk endlessly about elements of this film, but I've narrowed it down to the notes below. Apologies in advance for the small manifesto. lol The $80K original bet in 1977 would be approximately $450K in 2026... so that "double or nothing" bet would be life-changing. Sheriff Buford T. Justice is played by Oscar Nominee, Jackie Gleason. He's best known for playing the lead role in TV's The Honeymooners (1955-1956), but he lived an eclectic life filled with music, orchestras, comedy, carnivals, and daredevil shows. Outside of his comedy chops, I highly recommend watching him play the gravitas role of Minnesota Fats, the antagonist to Paul Newman's Fast Eddie Felson in The Hustler (1961). Little Enos Burdette is played by Paul Williams, one of the greatest songwriters of all-time, whose tracks include Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie, the love theme for Barbra Streisand's A Star is Born, the theme song for The Love Boat, and Three Dog Night's hit, An Old Fashioned Love Song. The Snowman is played by Grammy-Award winning musician Jerry Reed, who wrote and performed the songs for this movie. He's widely considered a guitar virtuoso whose contributions to country music history are indelible. Enjoy his skills in this 4-minute live performance: https://youtu.be/VxDC7Rhpphs?si=dMQkQinxxRtUcCX8 The Director, Hal Needham, was one of Hollywood's greatest automobile Stuntmen, but later moved behind the camera to create some of the most ridiculously amazing car stunt films ever put on screen. His collaborations with Burt Reynolds are simply phenomenal, including Smokey and the Bandit, Hooper (1978), The Cannonball Run (1981), and Stroker Ace (1983). They knew the films they were making and made no apologies. Hal Needham personally drove the Lamborghini in the opening credits to the Cannonball Run, and it remains one of my all-time favorite sequences. The sound design alone is a benchmark. That 4-minute sequence is here: https://youtu.be/-9fZI3wBA1o?si=I-mcJypli6slVmzt Thanks for a great reaction to this popcorn flick masterpiece!

Jackie Gleason was originally supposed to be in the car alone. He told them to put someone else in the car with him so he'd have someone to play off of. So they created the role of Junior.

When asked by Hal Needham to provide a theme song for the movie, Jerry Reed, who played Snowman, sat down and wrote "East Bound and Down" and played it for Hal on an acoustic guitar about two hours later.

So often I feel like I should not be laughing during this movie AS I AM LAUGHING.

AdrianF

I must be a miserable sod/old. I LOVED this when I was a kid and was excited when the 4K came out a couple of years ago***, but on rewatching I was really disappointed - hasn't aged well for me at all, but shrug. ***I checked and I bought this 4K on 17 June 21. I need to get out more!!

This is one of my All Time Favorites. Jackie Gleason steals the movie for me. In 1977 Smokie and the Bandit was the 2nd highest grossing movie of the year. Only behind the Original Star Wars. Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields dated in real life so that explains how amazing their chemistry was. When they were grabbing the Coors from the store. Did you notice the "Happy Birthday American Banner". The movie was made in 1976 and released in 1977. So that Happy Birthday America Banner was for the Bicentenial America's 200th Birthday. Thought it was cool you released this on our 250th Birthday.

Phil Stubblefield

And I cannot *imagine* the film without that song! It's such an integral part of the ethos.

I'm from north Carolina I grow up in country I know every back road in my area

This movie brings back a specific time in my life. We saw this movie at a place that no longer exists 53 Drive Inn. Theatre. My friends and I were all 19 and that was the legal drinking age in the state I lived in. We always had a great time. Thank you for Reminding me of that particular hobby and couple of my friends that are no longer with us.

Perry Campbell

Nice reaction 😍😍 I first seen this when I was 15 years old. Fell in love with Sally Field. I didn’t know White girls had such Beautiful cabooses 😘

Totally Whatever

If there is a TV version, our mom would like that one too! Good to know. ;)

Totally Whatever

Thanks for all of the extra trivia, Crimson. Knowing that Snowman wrote all of the music for the movie makes us love it even more.

Totally Whatever

What did you love about it as a kid? I would imagine the stunts and car crashes had to be at the top of your list.

Totally Whatever

Ah ha, so they did date. We didn't realize that - what a crazy coincidence! 50 years later, it's our 250th!

Totally Whatever

Love to hear that it brought you back to those wonderful times.

Burt Reynolds got early roles in TV series Gunsmoke 1962 to 1965 seasons 8 to 10, 50 episodes

MacGuffinStuff

This is a personal favorite! For so many reasons. For one I was a truck driver for 5 years, which was a really fun time for the most part, but sometimes it really sucked. One day I'm driving down the Oregon coast on a beautiful day watching the sun set, the next day I'm chaining up on Donner's Pass, freezing cold, squatting on the road side trying to put 40 pound chains on my steers and 60 pound chains on my drives, just to take them all off again 5 miles later. Driving through Tornado Alley in tornado season. Many many stories for just 5 years, once lost my brakes in the Rockies, tested my nerves but I finally got control, and all wheel slides, multiple, on that big ass hill between Laramie and Cheyenne, Wyoming, in a blizzard, that time in Montana.... But also because this movie reminds me of when I was a kid, and I had an uncle, well he married my aunt, we called him Sancho (my family is Mexican, I'm not even sure if that was his name because a Sancho is a slang word too 😆), and I swear he had the same Trans Am, T top and everything, he was really fun too, he always brought the best piñatas to the birthday party.

Mr. Writhms

This movie was surprisingly one of Alfred Hitchcock's favorite movies that he viewed during his final years. He said he enjoyed the fast pacing and the visual storytelling.

Perry Campbell

Nice wish I meet you when I was younger 😜

Kevin Rubio

So much has already been said by other commentors in this thread about the film and what went into it, so I will leave you with two. The relationship between Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham as star and stuntman goes way back to when Hal doubled for Burt on the TV show GUNSMOKE. It was their relationship that was the basis for Quentin Tarantino's film - ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (2019), staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. There's no comparison to seeing this on the BIG screen. When you see Burt and Sally 40 ft tall, you understand why the audience fell in love with them, and they fell in love with each other. That may be the case for those who have commented that it just isn't hitting like they remembered it. It just plays out differently on the big screen.

Simon King

Such a classic movie, Trans Am sales went through the roof after this movie was released 👍 Burt Reynolds and Sally field had such fantastic chemistry and were an item in real life, I think it’s easy to see the connection they had. Great reaction, I enjoyed watching Smokey and the Bandit once again with you guys. Thanks 🙏

Joe J

Burt was the king of this type of movie, what might be referred to as the "Good ole boy" sub-genre (haha). White Lightning (1973), Walking Tall (1973), W.W. and the Dixie Dance Kings (1975), White Line Fever (1975), and Gator (1976) were some other films in this sub-genre.

Joe J

Baby got back !!!!.....LOL.

Joe J

When I was a kid, I believed wrestling was "real" (haha). When we grow-up we do lose some of the magic.

Joe J

The song is credited to Jerry Reed and Dick Feller, so Feller must have added some lyrics (and music?).

Totally Whatever

Well, shoot - now we have to see ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (2019).

Totally Whatever

That Trans Am must have been extremely popular at the time. So he was the 'cool' uncle!

MacGuffinStuff

Definitely the cool uncle, I had a few, but I imagine he was running around town in that Trans Am procuring all the cool stuff for the party, my family used to throw some great parties, the kind that start off on a Saturday afternoon with piñatas and cake for the kid's birthday party, grilling a lot of food, we'd actually have a family soft ball game back then too, then we end up at my uncle's house and everybody gets drunk and we're that loud music Mexican family but all the neighbors are invited and have a good time so no one ever calls the cops lol. Ah the good ole days.

Looks like the community has pretty well covered most of my talking points about the actual film. But I did want to share one story. Jackie Gleason (Buford T. Justice) was a renowned actor and comedian. His tv show The Honeymooners was one of the earliest sitcoms. He became very wealthy from his stage shows, tv show and movie appearances. At one point, he leased a small train and took it from coast to coast along with a hundred or so friends. They had one long extended party. He also gave 60 Minutes one of its best interviews ever in the early 1980s. The interviewer brought up Gleason’s history of wealth and poverty. He grew up poor, amassed a fortune, blew it all (is that any surprise given he did things like lease a train for a cross country party) and built himself a new fortune. The interviewer trotted out that old saw about how money can’t buy happiness. After the briefest of pauses, Gleason responded “Yeah, but I’ve been poor and miserable and I’ve been rich and miserable, and rich and miserable is better.” 😂 Classic, plain spoken Jackie Gleason. At the time this movie was filmed, Burt Reynolds was the biggest movie star in the world, trucking was VERY popular among young boys and the movie going public was nearing the end of a decade long infatuation with car porn (not real porn, but a description intended to convey the loving, almost fetishistic manner in which cars were filmed). My cousin and I were both about 8 when this film was released and very much among those young boys that loved big rigs. In fact, when taking long trips together, we’d sit in the backseat and count Peterbilts (my favorites), Mack trucks (his favorites), Kenworths (the truck in this movie) and Freightliners. We also both watched BJ and the Bear, a tv show about a truck driver accompanied on his many adventures by his pet chimp (the Bear). He also drove a Kenworth. We also watched The Dukes of Hazzard religiously. It featured the General Lee, a reddish orange 1969 Dodge Charger, and had at least two car chases per episode. The Duke boys (cousins who shared the last name Duke) were reformed bootleggers with aspirations of joining NASCAR (which had its origins in bootlegging). My cousin and I loved The Dukes of Hazzard because they drove a cool car, got chased everywhere and it featured two cousins as best friends and protagonists. A couple of years later, he got a go kart and we’d speed thru the field behind his back yard, pretending we were the Dukes. Earlier films that featured trucks and truck driving prominently include White Line Fever and Convoy. The most well known car porn films were Gone in 60 Seconds, Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry and Vanishing Point (my personal favorite). The car in Vanishing Point was so iconic that the search for a restored version (a 1970 Dodge Challenger) became the driving plot line in Quentin Tarantino’s film Death Proof (starring Kurt Russell). I know almost nothing about cars, but I know cool-as-hell when I see it and that car fits the description. By the time Smokey and the Bandit was in production, movies featuring trucking and extended car chases were starting to die off as a sub-genre. But they were reborn in the form of the tv shows I already mentioned and lived on into the early 1980s.

Just Plain Bob

PS: One of my missives wouldn’t be complete without a list of recommended movies, so here’s some Burt Reynolds films I think are worth checking out: Deliverance (1972) - four friends go white water rafting and encounter obstacles they didn’t anticipate The Longest Yard (1974) - the best football movie of all time; Reynolds played halfback in college before a knee injury ended his football career Hustle (1975) - Reynolds as a cop investigating a suspicious suicide Semi-Tough (1977) - Reynolds teams with Kris Kristofferson in the second best football film ever made Hooper (1978) - Reynolds plays a stuntman on the downslope of his career; co-stars Sally Field again Sharky’s Machine (1981) - Reynolds is a cop assigned to investigate a prostitution ring; based on the book of the same name by William Diehl (best known for writing the book Primal Fear) Boogie Nights (1997) - comedy/drama exploring the porn/drug scene in Southern California in the late 1970s and 1980s; Reynolds hated the movie until he won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar for his role

Totally Whatever

😂 rich and miserable is better - lol, can't argue with that! Man, I would have loved to be on that train going across the country.
