A tribute to Snowman, The Bandit, and his kick ass car. Rest in peace to Jerry Reed, a great musician and a fine actor as well.

The USA feels like another country today. Back in 77 folks from all walks of life watched and LOVED this movie, including an 11 me who with all of my friends spend days in school goofing with each other, saying so may of the movies catchy lines... BTW, it was made for less than $4.5 million, and took in $126 million just from box office!!! America was never perfect by any stretch, but I bet like me a lot of you would love to have the vibe of this era again.

Actually it wasn't fun. They had a ridiculously low budget and short time period to get it finished. There was at least one near fatal incident involving the scene where the cars go through the area where the children are playing. The retakes made for crazy long days. The actors were suffering from lack of sleep and low quality eating. Lots of the script was just stupid stuff thrown in for cheap laughs. The beer warehouse forklift stuff for example. Dumb and added little to the plot. The actors tired of dealing with crap like that.

Im from Houston ive been to the Houston auto show multiple times ive seen some incredible cars up close like a Bugatti ive sat in a few Lambos and Ferraris but to me those are a rich man's toy them ain't cars ain't nothin like the roar of an American big block v8! The 60s and early 70s were the best years for the car industry imo my absolute dream car is a hot pink 59 Cadillac Eldorado convertible one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful car ever built!

Funny. Bought my 79 Trans Am in 1987. Same Black Special Edition as the Bandit.😆 Smokey and the Bandit is still my favorite movie. Ironically, a very close second is Vanishing Point (1971). And yes, I currently own a 2014 Challenger RT Redline (in White of course).😂

One of the best movies ever. Here in Germany it's called 'Ein ausgekochtes Schlitzohr' which means something like 'A crafty rascal'. The German dubbing is funny (they even put some additional jokes into the actors' mouths). And Jerry Reed's title song is still catchy. Long live Smokey, the Snowman, Frog and the Bandit. And Junior :)

The Movie is now iconic for its excesses as well as it's Devil-may-care insouciance that just drips off Reynolds. But he screwed up. He had the flying Nun in his lap and couldn't pull the trigger, to his later regret. You don't EVER let the right girl just walk. NEVER. You can spend the rest of you life watching her make someone happier than you'll ever be again if you're not careful.

This ain't country music. This is late 20th Century Americana music. It supersedes all classifications. if you listen to it once, you gotta listen to it one more time, at least. Favorite part of this incredible montage of a great movie: when the Bandit lets the Snowman, in that big rig, pass on the last bit way toward the fairgrounds. Impossible Mission accomplished. Glorious.
