January 16, 200521 yr It also emphasized good ol' Coors beer and a Pontiac Trans-Am....I wonder where else did Burt Reynolds promoted Coors beer and a Trans-Am ???? LOL......Darrell
January 16, 200521 yr Flippin' through the channels awhile back, Cybil was on. Tom Wopat's character Jeff was singing in a bar and there was a fight scene ala Hooper. Guest starring in that episode... Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham! =) A neat tribute to a very enjoyable movie.
February 11, 200521 yr James Best sings the Hooper theme song " A Hollywood stuntman."http://www.bentmyggen.com/hist2orig.html credits Bent Myggen. Although, that would've been kewl if James Best had sung it. =)Daney

October 15, 200520 yr Great filmAs you say; James BestPlus; Jan Michael Vincent (Air-Wolf)Adam West; as himself (the TV Batman)The closing sequence was certainly a one-taker, it'd be too much to rebuild
November 6, 200520 yr I just ordered Hooper and the Duke's Reunion on Amazon, I love Hooper especially when James Best gets punched
November 6, 200520 yr James Best is the cousin to the Don and Phil Everly and they are also known as the Everly Brothers.
December 17, 200520 yr Hooper is one of my new favorite movies. I just adore Cully and am besotted with James Best!!
December 19, 200520 yr In the movie that fight scene that they had did when Bo puts on that helmet reminds me more of the fight scene in Hooper at the club.
