Capt_Redneck Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Alright everyone, didn't think I would let someone else start a Burt Reynolds movie topic and not begin with Smokey And The Bandit. This is one of the best Good Ol' Boy car chase / trucker movies that they have ever made. Great cast that worked so great together. Jerry Reed was awesome . Jackie Gleason was the picture of the perfect Texas lawman. Come on now let's here some GOOD things to say about my favorite movie.

MaryAnne Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Man I could yap about this movie for hours. My absolute favorite thing about the film is the Trans Am. However, I could especially recite dialouge...probably beginining to end. Scary. Khee! But for now, random samplings...."Bandit, yer reckless and ya live much too hard.... I shoulda gone to Nashville!" =)"Daddy! My hat blew off!""I hope your G--damn head was in it!""A Texas gumball machine?""Big town ain't it?""Yeah. I wonder what they do for fun around here?""Probably sit around and watch the cars rust.""Four miles. G'damn it....four miles.""Oh I love your suits! But it must be a bear, to get a 68 Extra Fat. And a 12 Dwarf." (That's the tv edited version. ROFL)Anybody ever notice that the version released on DVD has scenes missing that were added in to the television edited version?? Man that drives me nuts!!Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.J.1984 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Come on now let's here some GOOD things to say about my favorite movie. Darrellyour kidding me - it's my all time fav movie as well. NO JOKE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Lisa which version of the DVD has the TV scenes? The pursuit pack with 1,2,& 3 or the single mvie version? I bouth the single disc and right after that they came out with the Pursuit Pack...That bugged me a lot , same price as the single disc..Isn't Smokey just a fun movie to watch. Waynette Snow: No, Bandit! Not this time! Cledus is not goin' with you! He got in enough trouble last time! Dammit, Bandit, look at me when I'm talking to you! Bandit: I find it hard to look at you, Waynette. With all those curlers in your hair, you look like you're tryin' to pick up a radio station in Savannah. ____________________________________________________________And probably my favorite quote Snowman: "Hey, Bandit, me and Fred have a little question for you."Bandit:"What's that?" Snowman:"Why are we doing this? They said it couldn't be done."Bandit:"That's why we're doing it."Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiemunster Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 "You can't drive a fork truck!""I can drive any forkin' thing around."At least that's how I think it went, when they were loading the beer on the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Loading all that precious Coors beer.....I think that is why Coors is my favorite beer. Burt used Coors the movie Hooper as well. .....and I am not talking Coors Light, Origianl Coors all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truckstop scene from Smokey and the Bandit (some details of the scene I left out but ya'll wil get the picture...here goes).......Bandit is sitting in the "Choke and Puke" Truck Stop....Sheriff Justice comes in yelling and screaming at juinor......... Sheriff: "a lemme have a diablo sandwich.... a Dr. Pepper and make it fast im in a godd$ hurry..." sheriff runs back out to yell at juinor... Sheriff: "YOU WANT SUMPIN?" Juinor: hush puppies Daddy..... Sheriff: "WE AINT GOT TIME FOR THAT CRAP".....(grumbles)......"dumb somebi&%#!!!!" Bandit: "you must be in a hell of a hurry huh sheriff?" Sheriff: "you can bet your a**on that boy" Bandit: "who you chasin? somebody chasin you" (sheriff looks bewildered at Bandit) Sherrif: "nobody's chasin me boy...im a chasin a godd@## maniac all the way from Texacana Texas" Bandit: "really?....what is he a bank robber?" Sheriff: (mouth full of sandwich) "BANKROBBEAH?".....BANKROBBIN IS BABY SHI# ALONGSIDE TO WHAT THIS DUDE IS DOIN"....ALMOST KILLED 20 LAW OFFICERS....DRIVIN THROUGH PEOPLES BACKYARDS......... KNOCKIN DOWN MAILBOXES....GOT A BROAD IN THE CAR....TOOK HER ACROSS THE STATE LINE.....THATS A MAN ACT....AND I DONT THINK SHE'S GOT HIS PERMISSION....AND THATS KIDNAPPIN!!!.....

Sheriff: "WHAT I OWE" Bandit: "no....here lemme pay for it" Sheriff: "eemmm no no no" Bandit : "no..your a officer of the law I'd be honored" Sheriff : " well much obliged....wheres the can I gotta take a squirt" Bandit: " ohh a right over there....." ( the sheriff goes to the mens room and the Bandit grabs the bag of food and runs out ) To me, this was one of the funniest scenes in Smokey and the Bandit.......take care ya'll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiemunster Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Wow. With all that memorized, I think you could go to jail for illegally downloading movies into your brain!!!Now, only if I could do that. Who knows? Maybe in about 20 or so years, we'll have an internet accesable chip implanted into all of our heads!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukesfan1979 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 LOL...well I have seen Smokey and the Bandit at least 100 times and Jackie Gleason just tears me up even if I watch it to this day! (and still do). Not to blow my own horn or brag but I kinda have a knack for memorizing lines from movies....I tried to clean up the curses the best I could, I hope I didnt offend any of the Hazzard folk....appoligies If I did....take care ya'll...

Eddiemunster Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Don't worry about offending anyone, since it's probably not intentional. Even though this is a "G" rated forum, we've all heard the infamous "F" word, or said it a few million times!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnne Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Lisa which version of the DVD has the TV scenes? The pursuit pack with 1,2,& 3 or the single mvie version? I bouth the single disc and right after that they came out with the Pursuit Pack...That bugged me a lot , same price as the single disc..I have the single disc (didn't know there was a pursiut pack!) and the single disc that I have does not have the scenes that are in the one I taped off tv. Very disheartening. LOL. I have not seen Smokey and the Bandit 3 (and given I've yet to see it on DVD, I'm thinkin' it wasn't all that great ROFL). But I have seen number 2. (Again taped off television). Anybody think that the roller coaster that gets destroyed in S&B2 is the same roller coaster seen in the background of the truck ro-day-o in the first movie? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 The pursuit pack has all three Smokey & The Bandit movies. Doesn't that stink that when it is shown on regular TV it gets added scenes because they edit it for content. They did that with Fast Times At Ridgemont High, had different scenes added for broadcast TV because of the ones they edited for TV...Go figure......Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneyDuke Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I just got done watching this on WGN about 30 minutes ago. =) It's one of few movies that I enjoy seeing again. Catching part of a scene or dialouge, that was missed in another viewing. AMC will be airing it and Smokey and The Bandit 2, Thursday December 23, and Friday December 24.

R.J.1984 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Wow. With all that memorized, I think you could go to jail for illegally downloading movies into your brain!!!If thats the case - you had better lock me up and throw away the key as I have the Entire movie memorized almost word for word and the other guy got some of the captions wrong. not intentionally ofcourse but it is my fav movie and I've watched it so many times that I can't watch it without laughing after the first 5 or 10 minutes. the original way the c.b conversation went was :Snowman: Oh - hey bandit!Bandit: Yah guy.Smowman: Me and Fred got a question.Bandit: Well - what do you and fred want?Snowman: How come we doing this?Bandit:Well why not?Snowman: Well - they said it couldn't be done!Bandit: Well, that's the reason son.Snowman: That's good with Fred.Bandit: Haha.

Julieduke Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Smokey and the Bandit got some mention in the Dukes at least Burt Reynolds, how come he never guest starred on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiemunster Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I think Burt would've wanted too much money, and since WB already spent that money on all those Chargers. I'm sure they couldn't afford both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamanda Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I believe Sonny Shoyer (Enos) appears as a motorcycle cop who pulls Snowman over. Maybe that's how he heard about the Dukes series. We'll have to watch that movie again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieDavenport Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Cooter (Ben Jones) and Bo (John Schneider) are in Smokey and the bandit also!In one of the teen books YEARS ago it gave Bo's credits which listed Smokey and the Bandit. We watched, rewatched, and rewatched. We backed it up, fast forwarded, and paused it so many times I can still quote it line for line -- The only possible place he could be is when the 'crew' at the drive in blocks the road. Watch for a green jeep -- in the back is a blonde with sun glasses on! It has to be BO!As for Cooter, at a autograph signing it was said he was in Smokey and the Bandit. Like I said I've watched it MORE than a few times but I came home and watched it again. YES, he is there. Near the very beginning when Big and Little Enos are at the Truck Rodeo looking for the Bandit. They ask a guy standing in front of a rig if he's seen the Bandit. The guy asked "who's askin' " Then the girl says he's over there. Look really close at the guy standing in front of the rig it is COOTER with Long hair and NO grease!And Yes Enos is the the motorcycle cop that is going to ticket Snowman when Bandit and Carrie decoy him off the truck.Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBama01 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I've heard that John Schneider was one of the teens at the first of the movie that were trying to steal the car on the side of the road. It was right after Carrie first gets in the car with The Bandit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnne Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 He's not. LOL. I've watched that movie so many times and I can't find John in any shot. I also read somewhere that he was apparently the kid in the Coors shirt. Well there's two teens in Coors shirts (that I found) during the course of this movie and neither one of them is John. Here's kid #1 in a Coors shirt....definetly not John...Here's three of the kids that attempt to car strip Carries car, the kid in the middle with the yellow shirt is definetly not John....But here's Cooter for all y'all lookin' for 'em!And here's Sonny (Enos)!Hang on y'all!!

fonzi242004 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 there was a tv show in 1994 called "Bandit" where John Schneider played as "Sheriff Enright" in part of the show so that is prolly what everyone is talking about.also some of yall mentioned about the editing in the dvd version,i want to mention a "mistake" in the dukes of hazzard reunion. if u have watched the video version from columbia house and the tv version,did u notice that in the tv version don williams mentioned that tuitles was flash's grandpup but in the columbia house version that part was edited out?
