Product Description
Burt Reynolds stars as the Bandit in this seminal portrayal of rough-ridin' beer-swillin' sheriff-dodgin' trouble-chasin' truckers. The Bandit's has taken on his craziest haul yet: a trailer full of Coors beer. If he can deliver the goods from Texarcana to Atlanta within forty-eight hours he'll be $80000 richer. Hilarious mayhem ensues however when the Bandit falls for a runaway bride (Sally Field). As they push toward Atlanta the two have to evade Fields' vengeful father-in-law Texas Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason as the maniac "Smokey" of the title). The stakes get higher and the car chases more frenzied in this hysterical romp through the American highways. Charismatic performances by Reynolds and Gleason made this a huge box office draw. ITA winner. Academy Award Nominations: Best Film Editing.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 025192907920 Manufacturer No: 29079
It's easy to assume this is just another dumb redneck comedy from Burt Reynolds's years of underachievement. But it's not bad as a dumb redneck comedy at all. Directed by career stuntman Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit is just a goofy chase starring a bunch of Reynolds's Hollywood cronies. New to the job as film boss, Needham brings a silly but energized sensibility to the production and an action man's need to see things moving. But he also has a distinctive feeling for relationships, and he's good with a joke. Put all that together, and Smokey is, at the very least (and unlike its sequels), a simple and original pleasure. --Tom Keogh

Still Awsome September 13, 2009
Turbinone (Charlotte, NC USA)
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.

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!!! ;-)
