    I liked the movie so much that I bought a 1978 bandit Trans Am. Watched the movie at a drive-in theater. As we were leaving, all the cars were honking their horns at us. It was great! Smoked the tires on the way out.. Bandit style.

    One of the most memorable movies I had with my mom as we left the parking lot everybody was pealing out as the left the theater. Smoke was everywhere the smell of burnt rubber lingered.... and of course my mom joined in the best she could it that old car, the memories of her just laughing for a mile down the road on the way back home! One of my best moments with her I ever had!
    I Love You Mama I know your laughing with Burt in heaven today

    I remember seeing Smokey & the Bandit at our small town theater when came out in 77. It's astounding how fast the decades have shot by since that time. It's been 44 years since Smokey came out and sadly the vast majority of the cast are gone now. Jackie, Burt, Jerry, Hal, Pat McCormick and most recently, Mike Henry, are all gone. Before long another 44 years will have passed us by and I sincerely hope those who remain always remember this movie and continue to watch it because it represents a truly great time in history. We were young, healthy and full of life and life was good. Back then we couldn't imagine these actors not being with us anymore ~ but life moves on.

    Best movie ever made! I am a huge Smokey and the Bandit and Burt Reynolds fan. I've been a big fan of his and the movie since I was five years old back in 2002 when I first saw Smokey and the Bandit for the first time. When I saw that black Trans Am, I said that "I will one day have a car just like Bandit's" and 17 years later, I had the blessed opportunity to buy my own Bandit Trans Am, a 1979 Y84 black and gold Special Edition T/A that was originally purchased new by my Grandparent's neighbor and I am now slowly restoring the car. A distant relative of mine Hank Worden made a brief cameo in the convoy scene of Smokey and the Bandit, he was the trucker holding the harmonica. Without a doubt my favorite movie of all time! Great video!

      Back when I was 13, parents ands 5 siblings all packed up the station wagon and headed East Bound and Down. Instant family classic. We didn't get a chance to see it again (poor) but watched it every time it hit TV waves. Kind a yearly tradition until it came out on VHS man-years later. RIP Burt and Jackie and the rest. Man, I feel old now. All my film and TV heroes are gone or almost there.

    Excellent doc Gator, Like you and #tonystewart @tonystewart I would say my viewings of "Smokey" are well into the 200's (includes partials). For a fact, in '77 I paid to see it in the theater 4 times. and in 2017, I (gladly) pait to see it again (and yes...I did smuggle in a 6 of Coors). Back at home, my wife tolerated when I would do the dialog through the movie but drew the line at me saying the line a couple of seconds BEFORE the character (c'mon babe...that's funny right there). Thanks again for bringing us this 14 minutes of happiness. Be well.

    You know who was the real star of the movie was? It was called Smokey and the Bandit not Bandit and the Smokey. No seriously I think it was a fun movie to watch and if one actor was replaced it would have never really been a good. Jackie was great I love all his movies and shows and most of Burt but I really think Burt was so good is because of the actors that he worked with. Even Robin wasn’t funny in a room with no one around to see him you need someone else to work off. The casting was top notch the script was outstanding not really something that would happen but a big what if. It was great but the sequels not so much.
