Jerry Reed is one of my all-time favorite country artists and he was one of the best guitar pickers on the planet. I also like the song he did for Burt’s movie, Gator.
Me and a buddy met him in the early 1990's in Cincinnati. He was with Dom Deluise who was doing some kind of guest star appearance with a company at the Cincinnati Convention center where we worked. He had asked us where he could smoke. We just made small talk while he smoked and he couldn't believe that my co-worker remembered some small t.v. appearance he made. It was pretty cool meeting him and he was friendly and had no problem talking with us. Great memory.
Stroker Ace and Hooper were so underrated. Before he passed away he gave one of his Trans Am’s to charity. Unfortunately I didn’t win but for those who donated got an autographed picture with letter of authenticity. I keep it locked away because it’s one of my prized possessions.
Thank you so much for this. I think my favorite memory of Burt is that he always made me smile. I loved all his movies, but when he teamed up with Dim Delouise, it was special.♥️ Rest easy gentlemen.
Hooper.. I was 13 got to go to work with my dad who worked on many of Burts movies, he was a hell of a guy . Rip my friend. Thanks for all the memories from a 70s kid!!
Not my favorite movie but it’s probably what got him the most early recognition was Deliverance. That was one strange, powerful and unforgettable movie.
825 Really? Especially the beginning were Burt is flipping the sugar girl off the bed and slapping her around in the foyer? He seemed pretty genuine doing that.
@@LawrenceMark33 A good many Yankees have settled down here with us & made great contributions. One of my high school buddies married a great Michigan Girl. Minus the hell holes I consider Michigan Real America. Must have skipped over that part...
What a great actor! Everytime I see Smokey and the Bandit on tv I'm watching it. Him and Jackie Gleeson were perfect and worked well onscreen together.
I saw Smokey and the Bandit in the theatre when I was 6 yrs old. Still my favorite movie of his. He is in my top 3 actors I wanted to be like when I was a young man.
A truly American treasure, and an amazing guy, to aspire to be like. Thanks for the laughs, cries, and other things, that played so well. He will truly, truly be missed, by all he touched.
"When you tell somebody somethin', It depends on which part of the United States you're standing in as to just how dumb you are." i still love this line
My friend worked for him in Tallahassee in the 80's and said he is cool. Nice and friendly in person.... even more then the movies.... All around good guy. We miss him Rip Burt
@@Sceneyour you are very disrespectful. You're maturity must be extra low. I have to consider the type person you are. Commenting on a comment in a sad way. I guess you are perfect and you find fault in everyone else's life. So sad for you little man. I hope you're life gets better. And you're able to get past your narcissistic ways and God complex. Good Day Sir.
What struck me about Burt Reynolds was that he was so humble in person... if a crowd gathered he would always take time to talk to the people, take pictures, sign autographs... on the set to one of the films he starred, I have now forgotten which, he kept pissing off the director when he would stop production to talk to people who had gathered to catch a glimpse of a movie star... at one point a guy walked up with something for Burt to sign when they were working, the director yelled at Burt and said "IGNORE IT"! Burt turned and said "look, without him there is no Burt Reynolds".
Burt was a great comedy actor. He also did great dramatic roles, but nothing topped his comedic talent. His appearances on Johnny Carson are legendary! We love ya Burt! ❤️🙏🏻
I remember when Iwas a kid back in the 80's, BR, always seemed to have acontinuous line of movies coming out. Our great ,Film Critic, Barry Norman said this week's BR release . RIP, to the legendary, much loved, underrated, Burt Reynolds
He was the best. He was good friends with my uncle Kenny and we have his lamps from his house. We loved him so much ❤ I can't pick just one show. But I loved him in Gunsmoke. Malone.
I really liked 'Malone.' Not the best script, but Burt's acting in that one was stellar. His character was eerily similar to Patrick Swayze's in 'Roadhouse.'
The blooper reel from 'Cannonball Run' with Dom constantly cracking up for no reason, and Burts reactions was hilariously priceless! There was great chemistry there between them--much like that of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Am grateful I got to experience those Hal Needham movies that featured Burt. No matter how ludicrous the plot, they were still golden to me.
Good job on the bio of one of the greatest actors who ever lived. I'm 52, my first meeting with Burt is watching Delerverinc. Then Gator Mccluskey. Burt was and still to this day my favorite actor. I have a lot of childhood memories of watching him on late night TV. So sad he died with all the hardships he endured. There wasn't a movie I didn't like, I loved them all. God bless you Burt and thank you for this bio that keeps his memory alive.
My favorite Burt Reynolds movies are Smokey and the Bandit, all of them. One evening in the 1980's, while living in Wells, Nevada, I glanced out our kitchen window. Parked across the highway was the semi from the movies. The actual driver was spending the night at the Ranch House motel. That definitely drew a large crowd that night.
My favorite comedian, Norm McDonald, wanted to start the Jeopardy skit on SNL as an excuse to impersonate Burt Reynolds. When started pitching it they said Burt’s pretty old now and he said no, he wanted to dress up as seventies Burt. Well, a much loved recurring skit was born. Then Burt and Norm played father and son of another name in My Name is Earl. It was hilarious! I liked both White Lightning and Gator, but I loved Smokey and the Bandit! He and Jackie Gleason were great and Jackie had a resurrected late career that was born!
My strange connection with Burt: he and my long-ago brother-in-law were best friends in elementary and high school. Then my other brother-in-law shared a fence line in Jupiter Farms with Burt's ranch. Burt opened a feed and western-wear store on the ranch for the convenience of his animal-owning neighbors. My husband and I had a mini-ranch in Indiantown and always bought from his feed store. Then .... my husband worked as a stage carpenter at his dinner theater during the Burt and Sally years. Though I didn't know him that closely, I can totally confirm that he was a genuinely nice guy who always thought of others.
I never saw even one of his movies until 2006 when he stared with Rachel Welch in, "Forget about it." It was hilarious. Looking back, I have a lot of respect for the guy. He always seemed to be doing his best.
One of my most favorite actor's of All Time ! Loved him in Deliverance.... Sharkey's Machine ...White Lightning...Smokey & the Bandit.. Longest Yard...Stick..Dan August..ect; ect;
I camp on property he bought on the S.C side of chatooga river while filming deliverance there.....200acres....its heaven.....wish I could buy it....glad it hasn't been sold off and developed also. Mr.Reynolds was a class act.....R.I.P. GOAT.
I would have say that SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT was my favorite I believe I saw it about 10 times when it first came out I loved that laugh of his life when he laughed. I did too, he was great to n every since of the word and I miss him RIP old friend.
I have TMJ so can attest that when it flares you can't even open your mouth. Puree food only. Very painful. I loved Cannonball Run and Smokey and The Bandit. Never bought into the whole manly sexy star. I was never attracted by his looks lol
Some girls/women find hairy dudes sexy , some girls/women don't. The same ideal apply's* to men, about "hairy girls/women"", some do, some don't. But everybody should like wire-haired Terrier's. LOL *- not sure about grammar here- "apply's" or "applies", I am not an English major.
@@chrisperrien7055 LOL You are so right and I never considered that thought. You really put it into a different perspective. Your English is great. Applies is the word you were looking at. You have a safe day. We are in lockdown here.
I loved all of his films. He had a great presence on and probably off the screen. I still watch his movies over and over again. He is Baseball, hotdogs, and Burt Reynolds. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
First Reynolds movie I remember seeing as a young kid was Smokey and The Bandit. Fell in love with that car and movie as a young kid. That was in the late 80's probably 10 about 10 years after the movie was made. They played it on one of the local channels movie nights. We recorded the movie on a VHS tape. I watched that movie hundreds of times and now have all 3 Bandit movies on DVD.
Smokey and the Bandit was my favorite. It came out during a very influential time in my life and it shaped a lot about me. I've owned 9 '78 to '81 Trans Ams and several Firebirds. And I used to be hell on wheels. All thanks to Burt and maybe to Bo and Luke Duke as well!
I watched all his movies and I could not find a better Actor who could do the parts that he did it's a shame he is gone along with all the other good actors rip. He was the best In all of his movies
I love Burt! He was a wonderful man. My favorite movie is Smokey and the Bandit. I was 13 when this movie came out. Not only did I have a crush on Burt, but also that Trans Am. I knew I had to have that car. I met my husband walking to the store. He was driving a Trans Am. We both loved that car and we miss it!
I grew up in the late 70's-late 80's, and my mom wouldn't let me watch his movies because of she only saw him as a man trying to get notches on his belt. Over the years, however, I've learned about him and watched many of his movies form the 70's. He was underrated, underappreciated, and dismissed as a cocky sex-hunk ONLY. I think the world owes him an apology.
I had the privilege of shaking the mans hand and having a short chat here in Taupo, New Zealand early 2000. I also played pool with Seth Green and another actor in a bar later that day lol. They were filming a movie, Without a Paddle.
It was Quint the half breed...and then when he was on Evening Shade... I even went through that town and they had a big billboard here with the cast on it. I got a bottle of spring water from the local well and gave it to my Mom. She was a big Burt fan. RIP Kids.
Gator McKlusky was a great character. I still remember the promo "Nobody leans on Sharkeys Machine" LOL. Hooper is a great movie from that period. The Old Boy had on stand out career that brought joy to millions. R.I.P Burt.
In the UK. An optician used a picture of Burt to advertise the brand. At the time apparently, I looked so much like him everyone thought I was in the advert. Famous for 30secconds!
As a fellow Michigander I will say he is greatly missed and will never be forgotten . Just wondering how his career would have been if he would have made Michigan his home base ...
I'll always remember watching The Longest Yard at the PX Theater, on Okinawa, in 1974 . It saddened me when they made the lousy remake in 2005. Take a good movie and make it a Vacuum Cleaner Movie, No Loss of Suction.
Burt was a great actor. His career stayed strong even as he got older. Shame he lost his money as he aged he didn't deserve that. Loni took him to the cleaners. ❤you RIP Burt.💋
I grew up down in Florida and saw Smokey and the Bandit in a theater.. I also remember working at a car wash in Jupiter Florida that was right down the road from his ranch.. Got to see/meet a few people he worked with when they brought their cars in to get washed.. And yes, Loni did take him to the cleaners.. There was no reason for her to do him that way.. In my opinion she can go to he**.. Never really was a fan of hers..

What do you remember about Burt? 🤔
You forgot to mention Hooper !!
Sharkey's Machine!
I will always first think of Burt in Smokey and the Bandit, Deliverance, The Longest Yard, and Cannonball Run.
One of the greatest actor ever If you grew up in the 70 and 80 you loved Burt He made every role memorable
GATOR....
Burt's laugh always made me smile. What a guy. Best remembered running from Sheriff Buford T Justice in my mind
Jackie Gleason is really what made that movie.
So true
Smokey & the Bandit's, Cannonball Runs, Gator & White Lightning. He was just a cool guy.
I agree 100%! Between the smile and laugh were definitely great too.
Never EVER forget HOOPER! More truth than not! Always Hilarious!
Why did you pluralize two of his movies you goddamn idiot??
I miss his laughter it made me laugh when I watched his movies great actor I miss him so much
Burt was just. To cool. Not many actors. Are ever. That cool. God bless

He should have won the Oscar for Boogie Nights. What an amazing career.
@@xlbubblehead2505 facepalm. I need to stop commenting from my phone.
I Agree
Robin Williams was very deserving of the Oscar.
His mischievous laugh, and how he carried on with Johnny Carson. Burt was a natural entertainer.

@@jimmyparris9892 very true ol Ned has gone on to the great light Yonder himself.😇✌ Thanks for the Memories.

The “ Longest Yard “ movie is when I became a huge fan of his.
825 Really? Especially the beginning were Burt is flipping the sugar girl off the bed and slapping her around in the foyer? He seemed pretty genuine doing that.
Bert was THE star of not only the Southern People but of Real America. We "folk" who came up in his day will always love & miss him greatly! 😢

Not sure what you're talking about. I never gave a fuck about Burt. Sly Stallone and Chuck Norris was the shit when I was growing up in the south.
We had so much fun watching Smokey and the Bandit when we were kids. It wouldn't have been the same without it.
Just drove past Reynolds ranch yesterday, it's sad what happened to that man, he was such an icon.
What a great actor! Everytime I see Smokey and the Bandit on tv I'm watching it. Him and Jackie Gleeson were perfect and worked well onscreen together.
One of my favorites was “Hooper”
Yes! My favorite as well. Very underrated movie.
Me too!!!

My favorite movie of his is WHITE LIGHTNING .He was the best and biggest star in the 70's.
Yeah, 'White Lightning' was a good one. I also admired Ned Beatty's acting in that one.
A man that stood out amongst men.
He was the coolest actor of the seventies.
Sadly, there doesn't seem to be many men like that anymore.

I won tickets to see Burt his 1987 Tour de Force from a local radio station. He just talked about his life on stage. It was an amazing performance.
From 1975 until 1980 the biggest star in Hollywood.

All of his movies? Did you watch Waterproof?
Saw Smokey And The Bandit at a $1 theater when I was 10- seen it at least 40 times since.
Rip Burt u was a big part of my childhood love your movies my favorite was white lightning
I just watched White Lightning last night. Man I love those old 70s movies.
I also loved him in "Starting Over" because it showed Burt as an actor. Burt was the biggest movie star in Hollywood from 1978 till 1982.
He was the #1 box office and male actor for 5, ( 6 if you ask him ) years straight. Unbroken record - cuz there'll never be another Burt !
Love him, may he rest in peace 🙏, great video thanks 💖😁

LONGEST yard is his masterpiece.
He was good in the movie, deliverance.
I grew up in the late 70's-late 80's, and my mom wouldn't let me watch his movies because of she only saw him as a man trying to get notches on his belt. Over the years, however, I've learned about him and watched many of his movies form the 70's. He was underrated, underappreciated, and dismissed as a cocky sex-hunk ONLY. I think the world owes him an apology.
I had the privilege of shaking the mans hand and having a short chat here in Taupo, New Zealand early 2000. I also played pool with Seth Green and another actor in a bar later that day lol. They were filming a movie, Without a Paddle.
Deliverance , Best Movie!!
It was Quint the half breed...and then when he was on Evening Shade... I even went through that town and they had a big billboard here with the cast on it. I got a bottle of spring water from the local well and gave it to my Mom. She was a big Burt fan. RIP Kids.
Gator McKlusky was a great character. I still remember the promo "Nobody leans on Sharkeys Machine" LOL. Hooper is a great movie from that period. The Old Boy had on stand out career that brought joy to millions. R.I.P Burt.
I Truly Enjoyed slot of Burt Reynolds' TV and Movie Actions. He Is A ICON.
He did a bit on Golden Girls once.
I remember he was on golden girls when no one believed Sofia until she said .Hi Bert.
Hooper. Gator. The bandit. I'm 43. Burt was in so many of my childhood movies
Burt Reynolds used to claim he was born in Waycross, Ga but admitted later he was born in Michigan
In the UK. An optician used a picture of Burt to advertise the brand. At the time apparently, I looked so much like him everyone thought I was in the advert. Famous for 30secconds!
Smokey and the Bandit plus the Cannonball Run had to be is best and funniest work!!!!
As a fellow Michigander I will say he is greatly missed and will never be forgotten . Just wondering how his career would have been if he would have made Michigan his home base ...
He had that one game show. I think it was called " win lose or draw".
The Deliverance absolutely his best movie. 🪕 (If you hear banjos
Padel away)
I'll always remember watching The Longest Yard at the PX Theater, on Okinawa, in 1974 . It saddened me when they made the lousy remake in 2005. Take a good movie and make it a Vacuum Cleaner Movie, No Loss of Suction.
Burt was a great actor. His career stayed strong even as he got older. Shame he lost his money as he aged he didn't deserve that. Loni took him to the cleaners. ❤you RIP Burt.💋
I grew up down in Florida and saw Smokey and the Bandit in a theater..
I also remember working at a car wash in Jupiter Florida that was right down the road from his ranch.. Got to see/meet a few people he worked with when they brought their cars in to get washed..
And yes, Loni did take him to the cleaners.. There was no reason for her to do him that way.. In my opinion she can go to he**..
Never really was a fan of hers..
Smokey and the Bandit and Cannon ball Run. "The End" was funnynd I still use some of the funny line from that movie!!!!!
such a great acter, we lv u burt, r. i. p. brother.

Like Stallone, I wish he'd made more serious movies. Because he was a fine actor.
Loved his iconic laugh tried to emulate It but couldn't, but that's OK because Burt always has the one.
I hated that fake, stupid laugh.
