Have you re-watched "Smokey and the Bandit" lately?

[Duo]

Fired up Netflix last night, grabbed a cold brew out of the fridge, settled back and chose the original "Smokey and the Bandit". Ahhh........it was great, both the cold beer and the movie. As I watched the scenes with Burt and Sally playing off of each other including the Deep Throat kissing scene I could tell old Burt kinda had a thing for Sally. Brought a smile to my face.

 

[Gadzooked]

Those movies were a lot of fun. Burt was the king back then. Didn't Sally and Burt supposedly date for a while?

 

[PlanoNole2]

Yes, they were an item for a while. He wrote a book before he passed away, "But Enough About Me!" in which he discussed his relationships with other actors, old flames, movie execs, etc. He talked about Sally as one of his life's regrets in not hanging on to her. Here's a link to the book https://www.amazon.com/s?k=burt+rey...fix=burt+reynolds,aps,525&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_13

I was 14 when it came out...I remember thinking that Trans Am in the movie was the coolest car on earth.

I would like to read a book that was written after the author passed away.

I went to our Pontiac dealer in 1978 to buy one and they increased in price from around $5500 to over $6000 from 1977 to 1978 probably from the popularity of the movie. I decided I couldn't afford it

Big Enos:
Son, you're looking at a legend.

Little Enos:
I guess a legend and an out-of-work bum look a lot a like, daddy.

Little known fact- The actor who played Little Enos is Paul Williams who composed several major hits including "The Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie, The Carpenter's "We've Only Just Begun", and "The Love Boat" theme.

[Cubman777]

Love that movie. Gleason at his finest.

There's no way, *no* way that you came from *my* loins. Soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch yo mamma in da mouth!

Yeah - super cool and super fast. That is, if you think 0-60 in 7.7 seconds is fast. Today, that’s peppy.

My dad went to FSU with him and called him Buddy. I remember Dad taking me to see it when I was a kid. Dad told me he had more girls than Buddy in school and even as a kid I said, "come on Dad". I have his old FSU year books with Bert and Corso who was an ATO with my dad.

"Sumbitch! I'm gonna barbecue your a** in molasses!"





He was classic in that role.

 

[bigeasynole]

Definition of a classic

 

[flatskw88]

Sally was it for me from the first Flying Nun (Father forgive me...) episode.

My best friend met her once and said she was the most beautiful woman he ever met, with the exception of his wife, who resembled her in all the right ways...

My rabbit didn’t even go 60....

 

[SeminoleSuber15]

I wasn’t even born yet and still will watch that movie. They don’t make movies like that anymore unfortunately. Only constant remakes of superhero movies

All i read was “a cold brew”. Like 1? Lol sorry cracked me up during this fiasco. Good flick, will watch again. Thanks

 

[False Hope]

I watch it every year on the Friday before FSU's first football game of the season.

In 1978 I was rotating back to the states from Holland and I was deciding between a black & gold Trans Am or a Corvette. Ended up going down to the local GM dealer and ordering a Silver Anniversary Corvette. Good decision.

 

[bungman]

They dont make em like that anymore.

 

[mNoles5]

No but I watched Gator a few weeks back. Lauren Hutton.

 

[Red Hills Nole]

The Go***** Germans got nothing t do with this

 

[Palm Valley Nole]

The part where Jackie Gleason (Sheriff Buford T. Justice) has been communicating with Sheriff Branford only on the police radio and had not seen him as of yet......then he finally meets him in person and seeing Sheriff Branford is black..... Jackie looks surprised and says....."You Sounded Taller On The Radio."

 

[kjnole]

You lucky devil you got the snowman here, come back...

 

[BKNOLE1966]

Dick Howser was the one who gave Burt the nickname of Buddy when they were in school in Palm Beach County.

“The d@mn Germans got nothin to do with this boy!”

 

[firenole1]

Yeah, he was called Buddy when he came to FSU. His Dad called him that growing up.

 

[sunset30a]

That is an attention getter. Lots of great lines in the movie. Shut cho face.

 

[Hartle01]

She spoke very poorly of Burt after he died. Abuse, controlling, etc.

 

[pfofsu]

One of my favorite movies. My Dad, he loved Jackie Gleason. Great memories of watching this and Stripes with him and laughing our tails off.

 

[BLEEDSGARNET&GOLD]

There is a scene in there that has a good trout fishing hole in GA, it’s actually referred to “The Smokey and Bandit curve”

 

[NotePadRick]

Sherrif Buford T. Justice: " 'Dat's very comfortin'...but I'm in high-speed pursuit. Don't you hear good?"
Sherrif George Branford: "I hear perfectly. The fact that you're a sheriff is not germane to the situation."
Sherrif Buford T. Justice: "The GODDAMNED GERMANS got nuttin' to do wit' dis!!!!!!"

I can do this all day. Love the movie. So dated as to be ludicrous today, but hilarious at certain points.
