It's so sad to think those days are long gone. For those of us who grew up in the 80's, this shows how magical it really was. Just innocent fun with good guys and bad guys.
What are you talking about bro we were drinking and driving snorting rails going to see Van Halen and Iron Maiden smoking weed and looking for every skirt we could find
Agreed. I personally miss those days for lack of cell phone and other devices. Bring the party lines back, though it is gone and will be forever. Its said that it will be this way.
This Ain't Country this is kicking ass I'm a hardcore '80s punk and metal fiend and love this song and America by Charlie Daniels Band look it up it fucking rocks
I was 12 years old when Smokie and the Bandit came out and parents forbid me to see it. My grandpa took me to watch it at the Royal 4 theater in Malden Missouri. Have that memory etched in my mind forever. He died in 1981 and I still miss him. Rest in peace grandpa, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, and Burt Rynolds..
Its one of the greatest movies of all time! Im only 22 and i absolutely LOVE Smokey and the Bandit ive seen all 3 multiple times though the first one is by far the best one of the 3 Bandit and the Duke boys got me into cars most kids my age are into them honda 4 bangers not me i love the old school V8 rear wheel drive land yachts like the General Lee! 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!
This movie fortunately for us fans, but unfortunately to critics made Burt (RIP) look like some 'shlockly' cartoon character, but critically his best work was definitely 'Deliverance' and I liked the one where he deals in Moonshine, and of course the 'Longest Yard.'
I've always thought it would be cool to recreate this in real life. And since my dad had a Pontiac just like this except his was green.I'm gonna paint it to look alike. And then get my friends dad to let us borrow his kenworth
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.
As a boy in England, I grew up with this film and it's what got me into classic american cars. Also, so many toys cars of mine suffered because of this film.
@@connorwills5081 21 year ol' Danish guy here. Grew up with this movie, loved it to hell and back and still do. Though I'm more into German cars, one can still appricate American cars too
Scott Smith?! Lol…. I acquired a ‘76 after getting my first real job out of high school… yep, black and gold, shaker hood (marked 400 ci instead of 6.6L) …. I’d give my left nut to have that one back. Last year for the single, round headlight. Was not a rocket but by golly she’d light both rears up when you stomped that loud pedal. Yes I tear up too watching this…
Every time I hear that song my foot gets a little heavier on the throttle then I think about snowman saying 96 I didn't know this old truck would do 96... Out here 32 years as a driver and a few more before that with my dad when he was a steel hauler in the early 70s I so miss the good old days of truckin
My dad's dad was a trucker and they watched both of them he was born in 1977 and his dad was a trucker and he died in a accident when my dad was only 3 and I watched it with him
I feel you... my dad LOVED Andy Griffith, and every time I see a Ford Galaxie or Chevy Bel-Air, I get a bit misty eyed :) I miss my dad as well, I hope you are doing well my good man.
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.
SOMEWHERE was about march of this year. It is starting to look like we will have to TAKE IT BACK, get your affairs in order ladies and gentlemen...OK REGULATORS...MOUNT UP...REMEMBER ANTIFA, YOU WANTED THIS!
I remember seeing this movie and telling my parents that I was going to become a truck driver, instead I’m a full time mom and my husband is a truck driver and I love it that way. He’s been doing long hauling for almost five years and loves it. It’s not for everyone but it works for us.
That is so true. I was down on my luck and a friend suggested truck driving for a living. Long story short, I got my CDL but couldn’t handle the lifestyle. I still miss driving from time to time. Much respect to all the truckers out there. Be safe
Burt and Jerry "Put'n the Hammer Down in Heaven", together once again...One of my favorite movies of all time and childhood hero's...Bandit, you will be missed! R.I.P
Mr Burt's slyly smiling at the camera has got to be one of the most satisfying and beautiful examples of an actor breaking thru the fourth wall. The genius being... That he need say nothing at all. We all got it! Amen brother.
Spot on. That look encapsulated everything great about the movie. This movie was silly and a little stupid but it was so much fun. Mostly because of Burt Reynolds (admittedly with ample help from Jackie Gleason). But Burt Reynolds’s sly charm let you know he was in on the joke, that it was ok to just kick back and enjoy this dumb little movie for the romp stomping good time that it was.
I grew up in the 70s and I've been here all the way up to 2023 and I can honestly say you today's movies will never ever compare to this....Consider yourself lucky to have been raised back in the day I love this movie and I'm not ashamed to say it
Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason, all gone now. Our world is a lesser place without them in it. The Hollywood, "stars", of today can not even come close to holding a candle to them!
i played ray charles at my pops funeral cuz he was his favorite and the family was salty AF f them its what he would have wanted and it was my choice not theirs
I consider myself lucky to have been alive when this was made.... watching this takes my back to my childhood memories and how we really didn't understand what we had when we had it.
Preach On...Preach On...Preach on Jon...Preach On. I've been driving since 1990...but I really couldn't think of anything else that I would rather do. I get paid to travel & see the United States. When it's cold, I get to ride in a heated cab...when it's hot I get to ride in a cool cab. I own my own truck & I can honestly say that I make more money than most of my friends that went to college for 4 yrs & are now in a job or career they dislike...& on top of that...NO STUDENT LOANS...NO TIME CLOCK...NO BOSS!!!
RIP Burt, hope you and the Snowman are giving it hell to the man upstairs. what an amazing film, No CGI needed. They don't make them like this anymore. This film and the Blues Brothers are untouchable Classics.
by far my favorite movie of all time... watched it hundreds of times, bought a 79 smokey and the bandit Trans am in 86. I'm 52 yrs old and my mother still calls me and tells me whenever she see's this movie on! haha them were the days!!!! RIP BANDIT!!!!!
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).😂
I remember watching this movie with my Dad during a family vacation in Florida. I'd never heard my Dad laugh so hard for so long in my life. Made this a special movie for me.
Unfortunately, I find myself coming to this song after my Dads passing this past weekend. But, this was him, he quoted this movie all the time! Until we meet again. Ill always come here for the memories
@@Joghurtbecherdeckelmacher yup samme her det er en 1980 Trans Am I byen min men den er 230.000 kroner (omtrent 23.000 dollars) jeg skulle ønske jeg hadde råd til den 😭
@@thehighhopes5336 Ten-Roger on that Diablo Sandwich w/ a Dr. Pepper!!!!!!!!!! (Don't forget the Two Cheeseburgers for Fred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) HaHaHaHaHaHa
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 :)
In Poland it’s called “Mistrz Kierownicy Ucieka” which means something like “Master of the steering wheel runs away” Gotta admit that it’s loosing something in translation that title 😂
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.
I retired from the USAF in 2007 and have been trucking since!! and I love the road and the freedom and have seen this whole great country and you can really make good money if you hustle
What about John Schneider (Bo Duke)? I think he'd make one hell of a "Bandit"!! But who would we get to play Snowman and Sheriff Justice? God we miss ya'll! Just know, all 3 of ya'll are in lots of folks memories...
And there .... waiting all this time was Sheriff Buford T. Justice to greet The Bandit at the Gates of Heaven.... ”I’ve been waiting for you--you SUMMMBITCH”! RIP Bandit, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, Snowman & Fred. A job well done!!
I've been watching this movie since I was a kid rest in peace Burt Reynolds you truly were the Bandit and now you're driving that Trans Am up in the sky
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.
This is still one of my all time favorite movies. I really miss the 80's use to go to any hotel or motel and it was on TV! I miss the old days very much!
I remember that as a five years old little girl I wanted to be a semi truck driver. Heard this song on the radio today and realized this movie is probably the reason. This movie came out when I was age one but I remember watching this movie at home on TV when I was very little!
There is a lot to be said for going home to sleep in your own bed every night. When I was a OTR driver, the 1st thing that crossed my mind every morning was "what state am I in?". Mechanics are paid well & don't sleep at work.
@@wayneanderson8034 I hear what you're saying. And to be fair, I only entertained the idea of being an OTR trucker when I was 6 to 7years old. Then reality intervened. To date, I can change a tire and parallel park like a champ because I know the size of my vehicle and have very good spatial orientation, thanks to my Dad who was born in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Also, my Dad was the one who introduced me to Smokey and the Bandit, 007, and all of Clint Eastwoods ouvre- the Speghetti Westerns and all the Dirty Harrys. The last Clint movie that we watched together before my Dad passed was 'Unforgiven'. He dug that. God bless the Dead.
RIP to Burt Reynolds (February 11, 1936 - September 6, 2018). The Snowball(Jerry Reed) and the Bandit are together. I can hear Jackie 'Smokey' Gleason screaming 'Sumbich'...LMBO!!!!
I remember watching this as a kid and I bought a ‘77 trans am when I was able to drive. Now I drive a truck! Great song, great memories to go with it. Makes me smile everytime.
Who would thumbs down Buford T. Justice the sherrif that's "part coon dog" as the Bandit would say... That was one of my favorite lines in the movie! 👍👍👍👍
This movie is awesome and my grandfather got me into this type of stuff and trucking and older movies and cars basically older stuff in general and I love it I ran out of school cuz I had this song in my head and the hall monitor said slow down and I said “no Smokey” Rest In Peace grandpa
Damn this takes me back! And at 2:15..I see why Burt called losing her the biggest regret in his life.Burt, Jerry and Jackie all gone but each gave so much to make us laff. God bless you all gents!
I remember as a kid my whole family hopping in the station wagon, and going to see this at the drive in . Great movie good times , memories is all we have left . 😂😪
That makes four of us. I don't even know how my dad discovered this movie since he barely speaks English but I'm glad my parents brought me up on this movie. God Bless!
This movie makes me so happy. Sheriff Buford T. Justice is the best pursuer, and Bandit the best pursuee, but it wouldn't be the same without Snowman and Fred. What memorable characters
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video. This clip brought back fond childhood memories of watching Smokey and Bandit. RIP Bandit, Snowman & Buford.

Is there anyone else still listening to this classic in 2024?? ❤
Me
Me and i love this song 😊❤
Its one of my favourites
Yes man
Yes, always play this when I get a chance to take my trans am for a ride
One of the best movies of the 1970’s, when country music was actually worth listening to.
amen brother
I agree.When they allowed crap music into country.Then it was over for country music
TOO bad they don't make movies like this anymore !!
Still is worth listening to
Just the older stuff
I’m not a country music fan but this song is FANTASTIC!!! Love it!!! Long live “eastbound and down!”
Same here, can't stand country but love this song!
This Ain't Country this is kicking ass I'm a hardcore '80s punk and metal fiend and love this song and America by Charlie Daniels Band look it up it fucking rocks
It's easy to love. It goes with the Trans Am. R.I.P. Pontiac.
John Hallock. Yep. If Jerry never sang another song, this one has it all covered. The banjo was a good touch, too.
Dueling Banjos from Deliverance is pretty good too!
I was 12 years old when Smokie and the Bandit came out and parents forbid me to see it. My grandpa took me to watch it at the Royal 4 theater in Malden Missouri. Have that memory etched in my mind forever. He died in 1981 and I still miss him. Rest in peace grandpa, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, and Burt Rynolds..
damn, I also saw this gem with my grandpa... those were the best days of my childhood
I remember the intro where sheriff is chasing the bandit all over the 20th Century Fox logo! he crashes and the bandit chuckles.
THATS A BIG 10-4
I am gonna go watch this with my 11 yo son
Dukes of hazzard and smokey n the bandit both number 1 in my book!!!😇
Its almost impossible to hear this without tapping your foot and smiling.

Try to hear it without speeding while you drive. The car starts to accelerate on his own.

He partied down at a river landing.. blue grass festivals near tally . If you know you know
I can imagine this movie was probably a whole hell of a lot fun to make.

I agree with you ma'am
I think there is a bloopers show on you tube for this and they all say it was one of the funniest things they ever did
@@leehorne17 yeah get a '00 ws-6 ram air firebird, black with t-tops & drive from coast to coast pretty much nonstop...
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.

10-4 Good buddy
@@doughesson lol aint it!!
by far my favorite movie of all time... watched it hundreds of times, bought a 79 smokey and the bandit Trans am in 86.
I'm 52 yrs old and my mother still calls me and tells me whenever she see's this movie on! haha them were the days!!!!
RIP BANDIT!!!!!
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).😂
This movie is just a pile of good fun. I loved it when it first came out and still do. Great song too!
I remember watching this movie with my Dad during a family vacation in Florida. I'd never heard my Dad laugh so hard for so long in my life. Made this a special movie for me.
I was born in 1972 in Sweden and grew up with this movie, the best time of my life and I miss it!
When ever I'm in a crappy mood I'll watch this great movie gets rid of my bad mood, love it!
Unfortunately, I find myself coming to this song after my Dads passing this past weekend. But, this was him, he quoted this movie all the time! Until we meet again. Ill always come here for the memories
So sorry for your loss, man. Honored to help you keep his memory alive :)
Sorry for your
Buy a 77 Trans Am in his memory

Man Sally was a cutie back in the day.
back in the day ? still is Bro, still is
Everybody thought she and Burt Reynolds were an item and then casting her as his live in girlfriend in Hooper didn't change anyone's minds.
SHES. . NOW SO CUTE 😉😊😍
Still is
As a farmboy at the time this movie was made, I would have loved to plow Sally's Field. still would today.
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 :)
What about Gottfried ( so his name in German ), the dog? Please, bring some burgers ~ he looks so hungry. ^^
In Poland it’s called “Mistrz Kierownicy Ucieka” which means something like “Master of the steering wheel runs away”
Gotta admit that it’s loosing something in translation that title 😂
The Germans ain't got nothing do with this!!
@@danromanov9537 underrated reply!
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.
I retired from the USAF in 2007 and have been trucking since!! and I love the road and the freedom and have seen this whole great country and you can really make good money if you hustle
This was one great movie back in the 70’s I have a Smokey and Bandit Trans AM
Erritt Smith i had a white one but then I’m a girl ;)
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. Nice to see people still appreciate it.
This movie couldn’t be one today
21 and this is my favourite track and film ever.
So pleased Hollywood hasn't tried to make a reboot of these classics. for me there will only every be One Bandit, Sheriff Justice, Snowman and Junior
And one Frog (Sally)
@@ApartmentKing66 she is one pretty lady thats for sure.
And fred!
What about John Schneider (Bo Duke)? I think he'd make one hell of a "Bandit"!! But who would we get to play Snowman and Sheriff Justice? God we miss ya'll! Just know, all 3 of ya'll are in lots of folks memories...
So glad no remake has been attempted. It would be sacralige in extremis
And there .... waiting all this time was Sheriff Buford T. Justice to greet The Bandit at the Gates of Heaven....
”I’ve been waiting for you--you SUMMMBITCH”!
RIP Bandit, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, Snowman & Fred. A job well done!!
Well said🖒🖒
Joe Joe LOL LMAO OMG Best line ever
Thay got to do some running up there
Joe Joe Buford T Justice should be in hell
Lmao
I've been watching this movie since I was a kid rest in peace Burt Reynolds you truly were the Bandit and now you're driving that Trans Am up in the sky
Same
I just bought a 2006 V8 Mustang and this song was the first song that got played on my radio :D
You can't beat the 1970s. Damn good time to be alive and I am glad I was old enough to enjoy those years.
I never tire of this song.
Me neither
Being the owner of a tanker semi, this song holds a LOT for me!
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.
It's not full of explosions and CGI but that scene where they hide in the convoy of semis is freaking great.
Great Movie! I was in Middle School when it came out. Its one of those classics than can never be remade.
Dont say anything about remakes or them evil demons in hollyweird will hear you and make a terrible remake!
That's what everybody said about Disney.
Look at them sellout stuffed fucks now.
RIP Burt. This movie was a big part of my life. My brother took me to see it and was so fun.
A good friend of mine brought this Trans Am when this movie came out, a lot of good times in the car.
This is still one of my all time favorite movies. I really miss the 80's use to go to any hotel or motel and it was on TV! I miss the old days very much!
I love Smokey and the Bandit.
I love Country music❤🇺🇲🎬🍿📺
Thank you JERRY REED for this soundtrack👍❤
I remember that as a five years old little girl I wanted to be a semi truck driver. Heard this song on the radio today and realized this movie is probably the reason. This movie came out when I was age one but I remember watching this movie at home on TV when I was very little!
Thank you truckers,more than ever!!! Much gratitude from all of us
I wanted to be a long hauler because of this movie. I'm not, but I now work at a shop that repairs them
I wanted to be a trucker because of this movie, Convoy and BJ and the Bear.... Burt, Kris and Greg set my young heart to fluttering!
There is a lot to be said for going home to sleep in your own bed every night. When I was a OTR driver, the 1st thing that crossed my mind every morning was "what state am I in?". Mechanics are paid well & don't sleep at work.
@@wayneanderson8034 I hear what you're saying. And to be fair, I only entertained the idea of being an OTR trucker when I was 6 to 7years old. Then reality intervened. To date, I can change a tire and parallel park like a champ because I know the size of my vehicle and have very good spatial orientation, thanks to my Dad who was born in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Also, my Dad was the one who introduced me to Smokey and the Bandit, 007, and all of Clint Eastwoods ouvre- the Speghetti Westerns and all the Dirty Harrys. The last Clint movie that we watched together before my Dad passed was 'Unforgiven'. He dug that. God bless the Dead.
One of my favorite movies, ever!
Definitely! This was my childhood.. my brother took me to see this movie.. a month later he bought a trans am :) I was blown away
This movie and CONVOY ❤️❤️❤️
I saw it on the "Big screen", it was amazing!
Its one of the classics in cinema. Evertime i drive my Jeep it's reminds me off this song. Greetz from Holland
I like to think that when Burt reached the pearly gates he jumped over them in his car. RIP Bandit.
Bandit and Snowman are making runs together again!

@@jessicataylor4071 Sometimes i bet Big G and JC like a Coors now and then!
That seriously made me cry.
You know in your heart that is exactly what he did.
Nah. Jerry Reed was there knocking the gates down in his truck to let Burt in
RIP to Burt Reynolds (February 11, 1936 - September 6, 2018). The Snowball(Jerry Reed) and the Bandit are together. I can hear Jackie 'Smokey' Gleason screaming 'Sumbich'...LMBO!!!!
Lol :)
Jerry Reed was known as “The Snowman” not “The Snowball”!!!
what he passed while i was in africa, wtf
I know where you got snow ball from that was Pam’s handle in archer vice!!🤣
Jerry Reed was the snowman not snowball
Snowman was the unsung hero of this movie. He delivered the beer!
Hells yeah 👍👍
Don't forget Fred.
@@possiblepilotdeviation5791 he kept an eye on the boys :)
This makes me happy and sad them days are gone. Time flies. Thank God for youtube but but I wish these young people watched this like we did
Just saw that Burt Reynolds has died. RIP Bandit, you're running with the Snowman again
Allan Marcotte Let’s not forget about Dom DeLuise, Jackie Gleason and Pat McCormick. Those guys passed away and went up to heaven as well😔🙏🏻
I remember watching this as a kid and I bought a ‘77 trans am when I was able to drive. Now I drive a truck! Great song, great memories to go with it. Makes me smile everytime.
Best Damn movie ever hands down I'm 42 my wife's 37 she loves it just as much always saying funny lines from Buford t justice lol
Sally Fields was G.D. HOT!!!!!!!!
Yessir!! My wife and I are both 49, and we can carry on a whole conversation of nothing but lines from this movie!!
@@jimmylizabethwolfenden2503 I'm only 23 and i simply loved the movie, so much CGI shit it had me dizzy i needed to find something more....real.
Can't believe these two awesome men are gone. Love them both. R.I.P. Snowman and Bandit 💔💔😥😥♥️♥️
Jerry Reed will always be with us in these movies,
How dare ANYONE give the Bandit and the Snowman a thumbs down!!! Had to be Big and Little Enos Burdett. B.. Bur.. Burd... HELL I GOT TO GO.....
Probably a butthurt social justice Millennial pussy did it.
It was Buford T. Justice you sumbitches !
Legend says they're thumbs up from Australia
Who would thumbs down Buford T. Justice the sherrif that's "part coon dog" as the Bandit would say... That was one of my favorite lines in the movie! 👍👍👍👍
Gotta be justice.
God bless all of the truckers in the U.S.A. keeping us stocked with meats, milk, eggs, etc. during this #COVID19 crisis. #KeepOnTruckin
My uncle is a trucker and we appreciate him a lot
Plandemic.
Canadians are better
The pandemic's a sham but trucks are important regardless.
Convoy, the rubber duck.
This movie is awesome and my grandfather got me into this type of stuff and trucking and older movies and cars basically older stuff in general and I love it I ran out of school cuz I had this song in my head and the hall monitor said slow down and I said “no Smokey” Rest In Peace grandpa
THIS WAS SUCH A HIGH QUALITY MOVIE FOR 1977 GOD DAMN
I cannot imagine how much fun it was to watch this movie in the South and go cruise with your friends after on a hot summer southern night. Oh man 💪
Jerry Reed...gone too soon! RIP Sir, let's hope you and Bandit are still running from Sheriff Justice in heaven!
Oh, they are, they are.
Jackie Gleeson was an incredible talent and actor. RIP.
Damn this takes me back! And at 2:15..I see why Burt called losing her the biggest regret in his life.Burt, Jerry and Jackie all gone but each gave so much to make us laff. God bless you all gents!
This movie sold a lot of cars for Pontiac!
KITT too!
Yeah no joke
Hell the dukes of Hazzard show technically sold a lot of chargers hehe
Do you know how many?
Also trans am sent a brand new firebird to Mr Bandit every year for almost i think 6 years until a new jackass pres./ceo said its not "right" lol
I remember as a kid my whole family hopping in the station wagon, and going to see this at the drive in . Great movie good times , memories is all we have left . 😂😪
U have to love the scene of siding in the back door lmao love it petal to the medal
NO ONE absolutely no one from my generation has seen this movie. I am so glad my dad showed me this movie when I was younger. Gen-Z sucks man.
Agreed
Eh man, fellow Gen-Z here I agree. Similar story on how I found out about it.
That makes four of us. I don't even know how my dad discovered this movie since he barely speaks English but I'm glad my parents brought me up on this movie. God Bless!
Same here
In my school none of my friends seen this movie or series
This movie makes me so happy. Sheriff Buford T. Justice is the best pursuer, and Bandit the best pursuee, but it wouldn't be the same without Snowman and Fred. What memorable characters
Love smokey and the bandit, love this song, love the cast love everything about this movie
Saw it in 77 at 8 years old. Made me be a trucker. The all time greatest movie ever!!!!!!!!
Fred, the best dog actor that ever was!
When life was a hellava lot nicer. And Frog had a very nice set of buns!
Some of that sweet Sally Field ass....
She sue did my friend
Amen. But that applies to.all.of.us
@@bobmoore2502 NO ONLY HER filth...
Great movie. One of my favorites. Still miss ol' bandit. Rip Burt Reynolds
Aunt Nelly, my second mother, took me to watch this movie back in '77. I was 15 then.
She passed away two years ago.
Miss her
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video. This clip brought back fond childhood memories of watching Smokey and Bandit. RIP Bandit, Snowman & Buford.
