Synopsis

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 eighty thousand dollars 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars They went out to do something others couldn't, 5 Jun 2004
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Smokie and The Bandit was the first of many sequells, and this one shines out for me out of all of them. The bootleggers (Renyolds and Reed) are amazing, funny and keep the action rolling. I think it has a lot to do with their high spirit and the will to beat the sherrif (amzingly played by Jackie Gleason).

The Bandit is racing, when he's given the big challenge, 28hrs - bring back some Coors beer from Texas to Altanta in Georga. This is illegal, it's bootlegging, but this isn't going to stop the bandit! The task is daunting - but The Bandit wants to do it. The Snowman is not so enthuastic, but he soon becomes enthrauled in the action. The Snowman takes the 18 wheeler, and The Bandit gets a Trans An. The race is on, but a few complications lead this movie onto a high speed ride trans-state.

This film is harmless fun - Reynolds is funny, and Gleason works well with him too. There's no bitter hate, the boys are having healthy competitive fun and there's no guns, something which you have to admire. You could easily sit down with the family and enjoy this movie. I do think it's a bit dated, but the fun element and the banter on the CBs makes this a classic that should really be in your DVD collection.

At this low price, who could refuse?

5.0 out of 5 stars We luv u Bandit!, 27 Mar 2007
What a film! They don't make films like this anymore, wow this film is so cool! Yeah! When the Bandit (Burt Reynolds) and the Snowman (Jerry Reed) take on a big money bet to bring illegal bootleg beer from Texas back to Georgia in 28 hours it almost seems too easy. However once the Bandit picks up runaway bride Sally Field along the way and they start getting pursued by Sheriff Buford T Justice and his hilarious son, things start getting a lot more interesting. Luckily thanks to their CB radios they pick up a lot of help on the way from Hot Pants Hilliard, Little Beaver, Foxy Lady, Sugar Bear and many more. Reynolds is never better than here in this wise-crackin', fast drivin' performance, Jerry Reed's laugh is awesome and Fred the dog shines amidst all the thrills. Expect high speed chases, hilarious one liners, severe breaches of the highway code and loads of truckin' fun. And what a soundtrack. Left us wanting to watch the sequels. Wow! Beats Flubber out of the park.

4.0 out of 5 stars Junior, will you get in the car..., 25 Aug 2001
This review is from: Smokey And The Bandit [VHS] [1977] (VHS Tape)
This is a great film, if you aint looking for a plot.. Seriously, its one long car chase with the mission to smash up as many police cars as possible. Excellent performances from Burt Reynolds as The Bandit but even better is Sherrif Buford T. Justice played by Jackie Gleason. To blame for most things, he is never wrong and his jibes are aimed at everyone from his dithering son (Junior) to the other road users. As a comedy, this will have you laughing and the action is good old smash up action - if you like that, you'll love Smokey and The Bandit
