Plot: Smokey, aka Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason), is the prospective father-in-law of unwilling bride Carrie (Sally Field). The Bandit (Burt Reynolds), a maverick racecar driver, makes an 80,000-dollar bet that he can transport a shipment of Coors beer from Texarkana, TX, to Atlanta within 28 hours. It's important to note that in 1977, it was illegal to sell the Coors brand east of the Mississippi River without a permit; if we don't note that, then the plot won't make sense at times. Already in danger of arrest from redneck lawmen like Buford T. Justice, Bandit furthers his chances at a stiff jail term when he offers a ride to Carrie, who hopes to escape her unwanted wedding to Justice's boy. The rest of the film is one long chase; not quite as subtle as a Road Runner/Coyote cartoon, not quite as restrained as a Three Stooges comedy. Universally panned by critics upon its first release, Smokey and the Bandit reportedly pulled in just under $126 million and led to two sequels. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This movie is as good now as it was 30 years ago. My kids even enjoyed it. They still talk about scenes and use lines from the movie.

Childhood Revisited

When I was a kid, a friend had one of the first VCRs in our neighborhood. We watched Smokey and the Bandit on VHS over and over and over again. It was a hoot to be able see it again on DVD! Perhaps my enjoyment is tinged with nostalgia, but I find this to be a fun movie, and I'm glad I can now pop in the DVD when I need a light-hearted chuckle.

I was very disappointed when I received this DVD. It boasts a new-and-better image technology. But you have to download and install their driver to use it. It won't play on my -fairly new - DVD player because I can't install drivers on it. I will say my money was promtly refunded when I sent it back to Amazon. -Dennis in Richmond

All displayed throughout the length of this very great motion picture. If we all could only be so young and careless ... ... ... and lucky!!! ;-)
