Product Description

Burt Reynolds stars as the Bandit in this seminal portrayal of rough-ridin', beer-swillin', sheriff-dodgin', trouble-chasin' truckers. The Bandit's has taken on his craziest haul yet: a trailer full of Coors beer. If he can deliver the goods from Texarcana to Atlanta within forty-eight hours, he'll be $80,000 richer. Hilarious mayhem ensues, however, when the Bandit falls for a runaway bride (Sally Field). As they push toward Atlanta, the two have to evade Fields' vengeful father-in-law, Texas Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason as the maniac "Smokey" of the title). The stakes get higher and the car chases more frenzied in this hysterical romp through the American highways. Charismatic performances by Reynolds and Gleason made this a huge box office draw. ITA winner. Academy Award Nominations: Best Film Editing.

Format: DVD MOVIE

It's easy to assume this is just another dumb redneck comedy from Burt Reynolds's years of underachievement. But it's not bad as a dumb redneck comedy at all. Directed by career stuntman Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit is just a goofy chase starring a bunch of Reynolds's Hollywood cronies. New to the job as film boss, Needham brings a silly but energized sensibility to the production and an action man's need to see things moving. But he also has a distinctive feeling for relationships, and he's good with a joke. Put all that together, and Smokey is, at the very least (and unlike its sequels), a simple and original pleasure. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Just on the Nostalgia value alone.......2007-05-31

I had forgotten how much fun the late 70's were. After seeing this on CMT and other channels a few times, my feeling was that "this sucks just as bad as I remember". But after seeing it on DVD in its entirety without commercial interruption(ha), the pacing and flow of the movie seems to stand up well, even though if you made this film today, it would only run 38 minutes, because all the car chase scenes would be edited in milliseconds. Not a bad period piece from 197X, at all.

5 out of 5 stars a must for all burt reynolds fans........2007-05-12

the trans am in this film is one of my favorite cars ever. i used to hae this film on tape till it got eaten by my last vcr. i just had to get this dvd.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE.......2007-05-07

A classic for all time. you have to own the Bandit. See the movie that Made Burt one of the best.

5 out of 5 stars A fun movie even with the errors........2007-03-20

I saw this movie when it first came to the theater. No such thing as video back then. This movie set off the Firebird craze and furthered the CB craze. It is a fun movie in spite of the 50+ obvious continuity errors in it. Some of the really obvious errors range from evidence of previous takes of a scenes (Tire marks on the pavement) to watching a Firebird accelerating as if it has a 4 speed transmission only later to see an automatic transmission gear shift, to watching the order of other prop cars change. Even when "Frog" has her feet out the window while going down the road in the next shot, where her head is on the console, the transmission shifter is in neutral.

Get the movie and watch it. Its fun in spite of the errors.

5 out of 5 stars Classic but you know there will be a remake... .......2007-03-18

After "The Longest Yard" was remade, it's only a matter of time until they redo this one and update it,with Burt, Jerry and Sally? or "Bandit: the Early Years?".

Funny, GREAT chase film, well-filmed and edited. The film holds up even if there are some dated references. Language is kind of on the rough side but nothing too bad. Cartman quotes from this film on "South Park".

Pontiac and Coors would be nothing without this film.

They should never have done the sequels... although Cannonball Run II might've been the one to avoid.

2 out of 5 stars What a dud........2007-01-04

Sally fields is older than the hills and looks every bit of it.One minute Burts in a swamp the next he's in the Utah desert.Guess what there is no desert between Dallas and Florida.This one was a real turd. I really liked the part where the football player flips a 4000 lbs car with one arm. Sheesh, better suited for kids but somewhat racy with the language.

4 out of 5 stars First movie better ,but bandit 2 still good.......2006-08-06

The first movie is great and the second movie is still really good. The first movie had more moments of jackie gleason being frustrated.Plus burt reynolds displayed more laughs in the first movie.It is so funny at the beginning of bandit 1 when enus burdett and his partner walk up to burt reynolds sleeping in a hammock,and burt raises his cap and laughs.Burt's laugh sounds funny. By the way i liked bandit 1 so much that i cut football practice back in 1980 to go see bandit 2.

5 out of 5 stars HEY; SNOWMAN. YOU ARE THE BANDIT!! NEXT TIME........2005-10-20

IN A FILM FILLED WITH STARS*****, THERE IS NONE BIGGER THAN CHARLOTTE! EXCEPT MAYBE FOR THE TITLE SONG! JERRY REED RULES!!
SON--------------N!!!!!!!!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Goin' down a weird road..........2005-04-07

Sheesh, they were really reachin' with this follow-up. As if Dom DeLuise's ridiculous Italian accent wasn't silly enough, the pregnant elephant shenanigans were downright ludicrous. I also got treated to seein' Sheriff Justice and his two brothers (both played by Jackie Gleason) in action, hammin' it up for all they're worth in the relatively brief appearances they made here. In fact, I'm pretty the whole playing-three-roles deal was what got Gleason to sign up for this go-'round. The producers knew he had a hankerin' to show off his comedic acting "range", and they found just the hook to appeal to his ego, and reeled him right on in...

On the upside, the climactic army-of-patrol-cars-versus-an-army-of-big-rigs featured a slew of dumb-yet-amusing wrecks and smash-ups. Also entertaining was the moment where the film's plausibility was stretched to its breaking point: the Bandit (Burt Reynolds) has a little conversation with former Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw... and Bradshaw is clearly sporting a full head of hair! Which is something he hasn't sported since he came into the NFL...

'Late

5 out of 5 stars This Movie Is Really Funny.......2004-03-04

I Love It When Buford T Justice Is So Mad "Your Not Getting Away From Me Bandit Ill Chase You In Hot Pursuit To The End Of The Earth You Som*****" Lol I Always Liked Jackie Gleason But I Do Miss Him A lot Hes Funny And He was the one that made these films popular
