Smokey and the Bandit is one of the most love car chase movies of all time, and was at the time, the second highest grossing film in 1977, beaten only by a little film known as Star Wars. With its 45th anniversary, a visual and verbal breakdown of Burt Reynolds starring and Hal Needham directed film is brought to you by MFP in this one of a kind insight at just how this film came to be. Delving into the development, along with the stunts performed, MFP is proud to present an original and in-depth episode of Brake Downs, that focuses on movie car chases of the past and present that have become fondly remembered and loved by fans across the globe.

This is pure gold. SO much attention to the facts and details of the story of the film and the behind the scenes make this video a must see. Awesome. 100% To quote baseball 'You didn't just knock that out of the park, I think it's gone into orbit'.

One thing, also Ben Jones "Cooter" from the Dukes of Hazzard also had a pre-Duke's role in the movie. He's seen in the fairgrounds where the semis are racing and the Eno's confront him looking for the Bandit.

That really waa great to watch. One small thing at the very end of the movie when they freeze the frame to roll credits you ca see John Schneider of the Dukes of Hazzard in the croud. He is easy to spot just look for Bo Duke.

burt was originally supposed to be snowman and Jerry was supposed to be bandit. but when but got ahold of the script he flipped the roles. 3 kws 2 trailers. one truck and trailer burned in a warehouse fire. 5 trans ams 8 cop cars. Jerry wrote the title song on to minutes on set. and direct said he'd fire him. not kill him. and the sheriff justice adlibed most of the movie.

MFP, really enjoying your vids, though you also need to include the original 1969 version of ‘The Italian Job’. Awesome car chases, fantastic cars and the real heroes of the movie are the three Mark 1 Austin Cooper S! Also, the stunt director is the was the great Remy Julienne. As you can guess, I am a real fan of this movie and reckon it is one of the best car chase movies of all time! It would be great if you feature this movie in your list! 👍

Talking about the Trans Am jumping over the river. When John Schneider and Jack Gill (who got to drive another Trans Am (wink wink) recreated the stunt for "Stand On It" they trashed the Dodge they used.

Not many know this, but at the end before the credits roll at the end of Smokey and the Bandit if you slow down the film and look to the right in the crowd briefly you will see a very young John Schneider from the Dukes of Hazzard. As a stand in.

The last dialogue in the movie is Junior, yelling: "Daddy, don't leave me! Who'll hold your hat?!", as the front right wheel comes off. The frame freezes, end credits are rolling with song "The Legend" that also played in the movie's opening. NOT East Bound and Down🚫 As for the main vehicles: GM provided four Pontiac TransAM and two LeMans that were constantly scavenged for parts as the filming went on💥🔥

No, the movie ends with Eastbound and Down in the end credits. You can easily look it up on KZfaq.

@@MFPMapFilmProductions OK, my fault. But there are three version of this movie out there. Original 1977, remastered DVD 2006 release, and remastered 4k Blu-ray release. For full enjoyment, original 1977 (Monaural) release is the one to get. The 2006, and later has all of it's original sound effect replaced. Engine sound and growls in 1977 (Pontiac V8s) were (almost) all recorded on scene, and sound mind blowing!🤯🤯🤯 2006 and later releases sound like wet farts...😆😆😆

@@JustPeasant Cheers for that info, I will keep an eye out to see if there are any big differences. I still remember as a kid in Australia, the TV version I recorded back in the 80s had the "Scum Bum" swearing (which I use to say all the time in school and home as a result from this movie) and it had the deleted scenes in it as well. So I will see what other differences are about of this movie.

Okay. Love thw video. However, the Firebird TAs were not 77s. They are 76 models. They are wearing 77 front clips, as part of the deal with Pontiac, only way they would agree to lend them the cars. It's in the DVD commentary track.

i think the fate of the trans am in the movie is known, i haven't seen Smokey and the Bandit 2 in a long time but didn't the bandit "drink it up"? he sold it for beer money if i remember correctly

@MFPMapFilmProductions 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I thought about mentioning that. But I felt like there was not enough confirmation that Sowman and Bandit were talking about the same Trans Am used in the first film. Perhaps he bought a replacement one or Snowman got him another one. I would imagine the car would have been sold at police auction after it got picked up and no one would be foolish enough to claim to owning it. It's possible someone got it back for him. But not enough info. I'd be more upset at the loss of the Kenworth. It was only like 3-4 years old, and losing that would be more of a loss. Wish a little bit more talk about if the bet was won or if they got or lost the vehicles and booze was talked about in the sequel.

@scottthewaterwarrior Жыл бұрын

@@thomashart9304Heard they were unhappy enough with the performance they had to equip it with Nitrous. Though personally for me the problem with II is that it didn't really have any good chase scenes, the first movie had a lot of small chases throughout. II had the very short chase through the RollerCoaster midway then a big scene at the end, but that felt more like a demo derby then a chase. In general it was just a slog to get through. I actually enjoyed III more then II, a good example of doing more with less.

It's a shame really...much of what's presented here is just plain wrong - they contradict many things quoted directly from all those involved...the actual director/actors & its documented movie sales performance - the video is a 'brake down' in itself...
