Plot: Former stuntman Hal Needham made his directorial debut with the first Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and repeated his success with the sequel, a virtual remake that substituted a live elephant for a truckload of beer. Burt Reynolds returns as law-defying anti-hero Bandit, now a washed-up alcoholic whose girlfriend Carrie (Sally Field) has left him. When a pair of eccentric, wealthy brothers named Big Enos (Pat McCormick) and Little Enos (Paul Williams) approach Bandit with an offer of work, he and trucker pal Cledus (Jerry Reed) jump at the chance. The gig involves transporting an elephant to the Republican National Convention in twenty-four hours. The wrinkle is that the pachyderm is about to give birth -- any minute. Enter Doc (Dom DeLuise) a bizarre medical man who joins the team to care for the expectant mother, and Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason), who has not forgotten the humiliations that he suffered during Bandit's last mission. Needham's films were instantly forgettable cocktails of car chases, car crashes, and lowbrow humor. Reynolds and Needham teamed up over a dozen times in various action comedy pictures. Audiences of the late Seventies loved their anti-authority redneck humor and made their early collaborations into box office smashes. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

The writers could not put together as interesting a story as the first movie. Seems to me the storyline for this sequel had been established at the end of SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT 1. Had this indeed been used as the main plot for this movie, I am sure it would have been much more successful. A pity.

I originally saw this movie as a promo for HBO. Geez, it was funny then and is funny now! It is especially funny if you have some Italian in your background (ie you will understand what Dom De Luise is saying!)

The sound track is also very good!

An Item that was needed to go with the rest of my Smokey and the Bandit collection. This one was not as good as the first one but better than the third.
