One of the most underrated burt Reynolds movies ever , absolute classic !

This movie is awesome, real stunts, real stunt men & women no CGI bollocks people showing real skill and bravery to entertain us love it old movies like this don't die they just get better and better

Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, all fantastic Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham classics. Never get tired of them.

The highway patrolman that performed the stunt was Dave Mungenast. Along with being a stuntman, he was also an avid motorcycle rider, and collector. He was well known in the St. Louis area for owning several new car dealerships. Dave passed away a few years ago, but, anyone who knew him will be quick to tell you what a great guy he was, and express his passion for motorcycles.

Hal Needham and Burt Reynolds. An absolutely unbeatable combination

They had the best cast of any movie. You had Rosco P. Coletrain, Judge “Hardcase” Hardcastle, Mayor Adam West, Terry Bradshaw, Stringfellow Hawk, Alfie Wise (The little guy in all of Burt Reynolds movies), and of course Frog and the Bandit.

Burt & his Crew. Too Cool for today’s P.C. Sissies.

Lovin' that Super Scout II

funniest part is he leaves STILL driving backwards after getting a ticket !!

today we said good by to a legend,, R.I.P. Burt

Love old movie trucks, the body was on the frame backwards for the revers driving scenes. Fall guy had rear engine trucks for the jump scenes

(JUNIOR) : WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH HERE;(IS A TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE LAW)😆😆😆😂😂

Burt Reynolds, Jan-Michael Vincent, Sally Field, Brian Keith, Robert Klein, Adam West and Terry Bradshaw. Back when casting agents kicked ass.

Hooper is a great movie!!

Burt will certainly be missed

I wanted to thank you for posting the Fight at the palomino club, I watch it every now and again. Totally the Best! Thanks!

I love this fuckin movie!!!! The 2 most badass actors ever Burt Reynolds and Jan Michael Vincent!!

Burt being an ex stuntman and did all his stunts until his back injury is a great homage to the art of the gag. Great movie

Love this movie. Second only to Smokey and the Bandit.

I love how the whole clan stops behind Hooper and waits while he is getting the ticket. Then they all tear the hell up leaving..lol

This was one of the Best of Burt Reynolds, Sally Fields and Jan Michael Vincent

Back when driving and drinking beer was frowned upon . . . that's it. No jail. No ticket. Just, "You know better than that."

LOVE Hooper. Defo the best by Burt along with Cannonball Run 1.

I love the dirt layed out for the cop when he falls

No seatbelts and no respect for safety. Love it!

so nice, movies just dont hang this well anymore, same old crap, this is when movies where movies. thanks

irony-this movie is a tribute to stunt men, and the name "hooper" is homage to Joe Hooker the bike cops REAL father and the greatest stunt man up to then

Godspeed, Hal Needham Thanks for all the great movies!

that was hilarious , sometime in 1995 in Haltom city because I saw them driving backwards on the highway , I decided to drive backwards too and through a trailer park , I stopped at lights and stop signs , never got pulled over it was funny seeing everyone else's reactions to my driving backwards making turns and being in afternoon traffic , a lot of people looked shocked and stunned , it was just as funny doing it as it was watching Burt Reynolds do it

When I was in elementary school everybody wanted to be nurses and fireman, I said I wanna be A Stuntman !!!! Thx Burt

Ol Brian Keith is so cool in this movie.

The fun they must of had wish I could have been there

The police officer was Dave Mungenast . He owns multiple car dealerships in St. Louis . World class motorcycle rider /racer . I work at his Honda Store we had orientation today which led Me here . I watched this movie at the drive in when I was a kid ha ha

Burt is the man. BR rules.

To think that no movie today can hold a candle to movies of this era. I was born in the wrong decade man. Lil known fact: Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham (the director) were both stuntmen on olde western movies from the 50-60's. Hal Needham once said: "Hooper was the closest movie i ever directed that could be my entire life story told as a stuntman told in under 2 hours". As, Brian Keith's character is based of stuntman Jock Mahoney who was Sally Fields' step father. Hal Needham and " Mr. Clean", the guy standing next to Terry Bradshaw (NFL HOF Quarterback) went Burt Reynolds is about to fight in the Palamino Club. Mr Clean and Terry Bradshaw along with Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham wenton to do Cannonball run in 1981but in 1979 along with Mel Tillis, they all came out in Smokey and the bandit 2. I shit you not

love this movie. Burt, Brian Keith, Vincent, Best, West, Sally Field...pure fun.Hooper, the man who made Eastwood look so fine.

"Hey! Wadya think your doing!" "Just going backwards!"

One Burt Reynolds best movies !

I love this movie. One of my favorite movies to watch

That’s none other than Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane singing!

Just going 55 backwards. Love this movie.

For years l wondered which movie had the motorcycle cop and cable scene. And now l finally found it! Yes!!

I used to have a Stuntman as a client for my work that I used to do. I didn’t see him too often but every time I did he was always limping and I would ask what happened and he would be like oh I got thrown off a house. One tough guy for sure.

I loved this movie when it first came out.

Now a days would be all CGI! Can never replace these old classics

Rip, Burt R. Brian k. Watched this when it came on tv. Before cable .. The Stuntman an woman movie was just great stuff back then . Stunt movie that shows how stunts where done.. An how to be safe an how dangerous it can an could be

Awsome movie my favorite part in the movie I would love to have that Scout SS 2

well, I used to drive Mack dumps back in the day and we had 5 speed reverse-- when you had to get a load back on a trail going a long way back, instead of making the foreman wait on you and trucks getting delayed, we all backed at 45- 50 mph-- You shifted just like you were driving forward.

I have seen this movie and this clip a lot, and it's still funny in 11/2023

Man, that Subaru Brat....I wish I had one of those. They're cool little trucks.. Pretty rare to find one nowadays. (At least where I live)

man I miss Hal and Burt

Great moments in this movie.

@Gnillob802 and of course James Best.. aka Roscoe P. Coltrane

Siri says "That's not nice". LOL

DONT WATCH IT THEN this was NO CARE OF PC OR WHO MIGHT BE OFFENDED! BURT MADE SOME FUNNY ASS MOVIES!

I love that scene. excelent. Thank you.

I think this is the reason my friends won't ride with me when I get my license

There was an episode of CHIPS where Jon and Ponch caught a guy doing this very thing. They cited him for no brake lights and probably could have also got him for red lights on the front of the car.

hooper meets CHiPs :-)

Roscoe P. Coltrane (James Best) was a real good fighter in the movie !

Hal Needham was awesome.

Rip Burt Reynolds.

Awesome movie

The biker that stole the beer was priceless 😂😂😂

To this day it still bugs me that the Scout SSII left tail light is out. Love this clip!

Yeah they made a special vehicle that had the body on backwards, when they pull away you can see them trying very hard not to show that the front wheels steer from the bed-side. But you can see them shimmy.

Fun fact; That's Dave Mungenast of St. Louis playing the part of the motorcycle cop. Dave had a couple Auto and MC dealerships in St. Louis and his motorcycle museum is still there on Gravois Ave. Cool place.

LOL, great movie.

Oh, that ridiculous joke! Lol

When i was a teenager some friends of mine tried some of these stunts And survived.. My wife says my Gardian Angels are bald and grey headed.

Back in the day before Mad Mothers!

Nothing like The Good Life end up the PRETTIEST Girl Around

Legend

R.i.p burt

They don't make movies like this anymore

The cop doesn't enter the roadway and there's a ton of dirt laid down for him to land on.

I'm glad I was young when it came out because I wanted to try that with soda lol.

Best part of the movie ever!!

1 dislike must be the copper on the bike

Great Film!!!!

Thanks to this and Chainsaw Massacre 2 (directed by.. you guessed it.. Tobe Hooper), we now know chevy step-side square-bodies can drive 55+ in reverse.

love this

sally field look awesome in this room

Favorite

Best movies ever 😊

I miss, good ol' boy type of movies

Man in the real world they would all be in major trouble. Open alcohol containers, wreckless driving,.....but still a fun flick !

I love smoke and the bandit movie's but now I have found a other movie I like of brut,s Hooper

Vaya con Dios, my Brother!

I love this movie back then drinking and driving Wasn’t so prevalent like it is now but we all know it’s wrong now....but people still do it....

The Subaru Brat, whoever thought it was a good idea to install seats facing backwards in the bed of a small pickup.

My favorite Coors commercial

PRETTY FANCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Stuntmans movie!

I'm still trying to hunt for this movie on streaming. I don't think it's on BluRay but it's definitely on DVD if you can find it.

@trunda96 Nothing like the life of a hollywood stuntman by Bent Myggen

you can tell the truck body is mounted on the frame backwards..

Nice comfortable pile of dirt spread out to land on falling off the bike, so funny.. Burt - "How can we protect the motorcycle patrolman?" Hal - "Well we can't use a mattress or an Airbag too obvious.." Let's just spread some dirt out!.." Motorcycle stuntman - "Ok, I'll go with that"

Classic. However, that poor transmission really took a beating going that fast in a gear it was never designed for.

I love smoke and the bandit movie's but now I find a other movie i like of brut ,s
