How BUFORD T. JUSTICE (Jackie Gleason) spoke in code to his assistant while on SMOKEY & THE BANDIT!

A look at the popular 1970's movie SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT and how it's success led to skyrocketing sales of two products used in the movie!

My parents took me to see it in a theater in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Loved it! Also, Hot Wheels capitalized on the movie and immediately came out with the Hot Bird, a black trans am car in 1978. I probably had 20 of them through my kid years.
