A fav line of mine from Burt was in a movie called "The End". He is reminiscing as he is looking through a scrapbook with pictures of himself. As he looks at one pic of him in his football uniform he says. "If only I was 4 seconds faster in the 100 I could have been All American."
Burt Reynolds Dead
- Thread starter montconole
- Start date
Check out the ones from Semi-ToughSolely responsible for some of Hollywood's goat movie posters.
@Variety
Burt Reynolds turned down the following roles:
1. Han Solo
2. James Bond
3. Michael Corleone
4. Richard Gere’s Role in “Pretty Woman”
5. Jack Nicholson’s Role in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
and more
Burt Reynolds auctioned off lots of his possessions in 2014. Including this sign ($1280) which hung outside his house.

If in 1976, you told me what the movie was about, and said it would be a highlight in Jackie Gleason's career, I would have thought you were nuts. But that's not really germane to the subject.
Perhaps it's not germane, but Gleason's performance in Smokey to this day remains one of (if not) the greatest comedic movie role executions of all time IMO.

Burt Reynolds: These the roommates you told me about?
Sophia: Yeah.
Burt Reynolds: Which one's the slut?
Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose in unison: I AM!!

It would be really cool if FSU would paint the Bandit logo somewhere on the field for Saturday's game!
Maybe we can score a TD in his honor Saturday.
Rachel Ward was so darned hot - 14 year old me loved this movie just because of her.

It would be, but copywrite infringement?
Ah. Didn't even think of that. Maybe they could re-do the Elvis logo then to the Burt version you have!
I just noticed that...How awesome!! I'd buy merchandise with that logo.Ah. Didn't even think of that. Maybe they could re-do the Elvis logo then to the Burt version you have!
Maybe someone can spray paint it on the field at halftime, after we have a nice, comfortable lead.It would be really cool if FSU would paint the Bandit logo somewhere on the field for Saturday's game!
I would too. Business opportunity until FSU/NCAA shuts us down? Sell the #burtchieflogo at the game.
edit - this is the type of thing that makes me with I was better with photoshop. Would love to have this logo, but have Bandit's had on tipped way back.
edit again, does anyone know if Jodi Slade's logos were copywritten?

They are running Smokey and the Bandit at most AMC theatres September 12-20th. Plan on tanking my kids.
Yeah, I’d tank them to. It doesn’t age well for today’s youth.
Once a Seminole, always a Seminole. RIP
Pop an icy cold bottle of Coors and rip open a fresh bag of hard shell Georgia peanuts as you settle in to absorb this pitch perfect @aceatkins homage to the Bandit, Burt Reynolds & what he meant to a lot of us who grew up in the South.

The highlight of Saturday's game was the tribute they played for him on the jumbo-tron at halftime. I'm working on getting a copy of it.
I know someone in the media department. My daughter is in the 4th quarter hype video, and he was able to give us a copy of that one - so I'm hoping this one isn't an issue. I'll let you know if I'm able to get it.
if you know someone in the media department, can you please, please ask them to play some better music at the stadium during the games. The music choices are TERRIBLE.
I've already made that complaint, actually. Not sure what's going on there. Seems that things went downhill after they put in the new jumbo-tron and sound system a couple years ago.
The sound is a significant downgrade from the previous sound system....they must have a guy running production who is probably in his 20s which is fine...but think about your audience. The stands are filled with a variety of people - I'm guessing I'm not alone in thinking that being bludgeoned with Lil Wayne is not welcome.
Literally the last thing I have paid attention too in the stadium in the music outside of the Chiefs.
yeah, and I'd be happy to ignore it if it weren't terrible. Maybe they can play the sound of silence.
I'm not saying it isn't terrible, I just don't pay attention to it. I guess the product on the field has distracted me from the actual goings on around the stadium.
see that's the thing, in years past, the music was a nice distraction if things were going wrong on the field. This stuff is like walking home in soaked clothing and every once in a while someone jumps out of the bushes to play unwelcome music that makes it worse. I think they should throw in some classics....and watch the crowd react....watch the energy return. This I predict with confidence.

Before he was the most famous actor in the country, before he was a tabloid sensation and a Hollywood legend, Burt Reynolds was a football player. He was a 205-pound running back at Florida State, and football was his passion.
