He then treks across the south in "hot pursuit" of the runaway bride and along the way encounters his arch-nemesis, The Bandit, resulting in non-stop laughs throughout the movie. This film combines sexuality two of the hottest stars of the '70s and '80s , laughter Jackie Gleason, need I say more , and a great feel-good script.

How many Smokey and the Bandit movies are there? However, U. The interstate system we know today was still being built at the time this film was made. In season 7, episode 10 of The Walking Dead, that aired February 19, , Daryl Norman Reedus and Richard Karl Makinen are standing in front of the trailer that the Snowman drove in Smokey and the Bandit , when they are preparing an attack on the Saviors. Near the end of the movie, one of the two Georgia State Patrol cars that block the entrance to the fairgrounds the Oldsmobile is equipped with an airbag very rare for the s.
The airbags were used in conjunction with a knee blocker on the instrument panel. The airbag did not deploy in that minor collision but did deploy when they purposely wrecked the car years later. That car is shown in an airbag safety film used in some traffic schools. The job was that Bandit and Snowman had to drive from their location in Georgia to Texarkana, TX, pick up cases of beer, and return within 28 hours.
The round trip according to them was miles. They would have to average just under 65 miles per hour for the entire trip to make it. Of course, that doesn't allow time for sleeping, eating, fuel stops, etc.
When Sheriff Justice first meets Sheriff Branford a black man he first addresses his white deputy as the sheriff, before remarking to Sheriff Branford "You sounded a lot taller on the radio.
Ever since the film's release, there were so many different rumors about exact number of cars used during filming and what happened to them later, even some official sources like Wikipedia often got their info wrong. Some like Hal Needham gave conflicting reports about them only using three or five Trans-Ams and few police cars.
Before his death, Burt Reynolds said in interview how they used twelve Trans-Ams and how most of them got destroyed during filming. Over the years some fans managed to find and ask people who worked on the film or just watched the filming about all this, and the answer which they most often got was how there were eight special edition Trans-Ams and about the same number although some said ten of police cars.
And couple things which were said and confirmed by everyone is how seven of the Trans-Ams got completely destroyed, not just while filming some heavy stunts like famous river jump, but also some minor stunts like car crashing through all the mail boxes. All of the Trans-Ams, including last surviving one which had no damage at all since it was only used as camera car and for photo stills, were crushed after filming was done on the orders by Pontiac because they only donated the cars to the production, and same thing happened to most if not all police cars.
Of course, thanks to the movie, sales of Trans-Am skyrocketed, and if Pontiac kept all the Trans-Ams instead of crushing them, each of the cars could have been sold for high prices. Because of the twin dome lights on many police cars of the day, truckers would often refer to the police as Mickey Mouse and the lights as mouse ears. The line of Jackie Gleason's dialogue printed on the movie's poster is incorrect.
The quote on the poster reads "What we have here is a total lack of respect for the law. Sheriff Buford T. Justice drives a Pontiac LeMans in the film. In some commentary and other trivia many people seem to think it is a Pontiac Bonneville. Sheriff Justice doesn't drive a Bonneville until the sequel, Smokey and the Bandit 2.
Mike Henry, who plays Junior, starred as Tarzan in three movies in the long-running franchise. His predecessor in the role was Jock Mahoney, who was Sally Field's stepfather.
A Pontiac Trans Am had, at most, horsepower and a top speed of only mph. A Toyota Sienna minivan has horsepower and a top speed of mph. At one point while driving, Snowman Jerry Reed sings "Bandit you're reckless and you live much too hard".
He then quips "I oughta be in Nashville". An obvious in-joke referencing Jerry Reed's fame as a country music star. Later when Bandit and Carrie are walking and talking by the creek, you can hear those lyrics as Reed sings. Many more driving shots in the finale of the film were needed after shooting in Georgia was complete, so the additional shots were "picked up" in Southern California. These shots were filmed in and around Ojai, California including when Frog is driving the car after picking up Bandit at the "Choke and Puke," various wide driving shots of the Trans Am and Kenworth being chased by the Georgia State Patrol immediately before the helicopter appears, and the young women welcoming the Bandit with a large banner.
Many "California" and "Georgia" shots are inter-cut immediately before the Bandit and Snowman make their way to the racetrack at the end of the film, and can be distinguished by whether or not the shot features a Dodge Polara as a Georgia State Patrol car. If this car is seen, the shot was done in California. After viewing the final cut of the film, Universal thought that the country score and soundtrack wasn't good so they decided to change it, and they replaced it with orchestral score.
However Hal Needham hated it and told them to cut it out and keep the original score. NWW provided much of the western attire worn in the film, as well as the custom-made size 64 sheriff's uniforms that Jackie Gleason wore throughout the film. The phrase, "What's your twenty? Ten-four means "affirmative". Snowman's hat would lead the audience to believe that the WA is Caterpillar powered. However, in most scenes of the movie the truck can be clearly recognized by sound as having a Detroit Diesel.
It's been rumored that the trucks in the movie were powered by Cummins, Caterpillar, and Detroit diesels. The second version omits Leigh, Candy and Fonda. The first of two times where Sally Field plays a runaway bride. She would do so again in Heroes In the original movie, after Fred goes for a swim, Bandit is heard on the radio saying "When you get that dog back in the truck This was cut from the DVD version.
At the mark when Bandit is sitting by the Texarkana sign,you can see that the Trans-Am has the Honeycomb wheels and not the Snowflake wheels. Variety reported that, "after shooting the first of what was intended to be a handful of scenes with Reynolds and Jackie Gleason on screen together, Reynolds demanded that the subsequent scenes be scrapped.
The question isn't directly answered, or even indirectly addressed.
