Smokey and the Bandit is one of my favourite Movies of all time, This film NEVER gets old I’ve watched this film like a Million times it just NEVER gets boring. I showed this film to my family they absolutely enjoyed. The CAST All the Actors and Actresses in this film are WONDERFUL. I wanted to wish Jackie Gleason, Burt Reynolds, Pat McCormick, Paul Williams, Jerry Reed, and Sally Field FANTASTIC JOB. Jackie Gleason was the only ONE that made this film so popular and funny, I laughed a lot of lines when Jackie Gleason said so many Jokes. But I got to tell this film was Unbelievable, I want to Wish THANK YOU so much to the director HAL NEEDHAM to create this Awesome film. One Thing I really love about this film was the Soundtrack: East Bound And Down, The Bandit, The Legend, and West Bound And Down were Amazing. I also want to wish thank you so much to Jerry Reed to put these Soundtracks in this film. One of my favourite scenes in this film is when Burt Reynolds and Sally Field went to a relaxing Swamp and talked about Life it also shows beautiful Nature and I love this the Music. SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT 1977 Is THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. GIVING SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT CREDIT: 100%.

I was born in 1964, and I wore a key around my neck when I went to camp when I was 12. Years

I was there as a kid in 97. The children who got close to this thing paint a different feeling that overcame us. It was fear and anxiety. It wanted the children for some reason. I’m not the only kid who was affected by this strange phenomena. I’m glad I got outta there and never returned. I’m still freaked out by it to this day as a 40 yr old man.

4:36 😂😂😂 they snapped the chain, a chain, no they didn't, a chain like that one could handle like 15 ton before it breaks, they would of gimmicked the chain , a plastic link or a cut in the chain

15 years ago or so, my mom gifted this movie to my little seven year old brother for Christmas. Her memory of it was a bit foggy, but she knew he would love the chase scenes and stunts. The DVD was also rated PG, so it couldn't be that bad. She had forgotten about the very colorful language. My brother had no idea what it meant, but he memorized almost all of it and could quote if back verbatim. I loved it too. I think that was the point in which the punishment for curse words became a bit looser in my family.

Saturday morning as a kid and hearing his voice on Cable television. Great memories of the 80's. Gordon Solie Forever.

Very cool 😊 Thank you for sharing.

A current Toyota Camry could smoke one of those trans ams!

Yeah I remember when this movie came out I didn't get to see it for a few years because I just never went to the movie theater I saw it when it came out on cable and fell in love with it ever since and I love Burt Reynolds even before the movie and I didn't know who Sally Field was until that movie but always love the semi in the in the picture because for some reason I was into semis and I just love the looks of that truck and the painting they did down the side of the trailer it was all really really cool and Kenworth w900 were damn nice truck back in their time they they still make them today but not like that I like the Pete's too Pete's that that were in the movie looked a lot like the w-900s I think Peterbilt copied them not sure about that though but I love Jackie Lisa underway the way he insulted Junior oh my God it was hilarious I just think the movie is great all together all the way through and it's awesome even big and little Enos those guys were pretty pretty cool too bunkie and the bandit too wasn't bad and then three came along and that's when Bert rentals and Sally Field wasn't in it anymore and they used I can't think of the Western singer's name as the bandit and it failed miserably I got the three CDs in a movie pack and the third one blows I can't say I've actually watched it all the way through because it's so bad but that's my two cents worth.

The jump was the last scene in making this movie I know i was there

Legendary announcers…Gordon solie, Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and lance Russel

I was there shortly after this appeared I never noticed the rest of the glass that was stained But if it was a fluke or a miracle ( You know the human mind) it sure looked real enough To bad we live in the world we do We have no issue killing in the name of war we have no issue with un consequential man slaughter in the mothers body Our Government is nothing but all criminals The population is lazy and compliant We should all be beyond this !

In an interview Burt remolds stat that he was promised a trans am by the head of Pontiac. Burt waited for it and did not receive it. He contacted Pontiac and was told the old head of Pontiac wanted him to have one but the new one said no. Burt said he bought his himself.

Actually Burt said he never got the Trans Am

I was the oldest of 2 siblings latchkey! On the rare occasion that they were home, we were STILL running around outside after dark and they really had no worries about it. No gps, no phones. There was even a Public service commercial “Do you know where your children are?” 😂

Only beaten by Star Wars isn't so bad.

Hal Needham, a professional stuntman and the director of Smokey and the Bandit (1977), performed a stunt where Burt Reynolds' character jumped a bridge in the movie. The original scene was filmed near Jonesboro, Georgia, and featured a Black Trans Am.. Now you know...

Who was the stuntman?

You mean the bandit’s Trans Am did not have a 700hp engine anyway.? My childhood is shattered.

That is so not true

Gordon Solie is the Gold Standard of professional wrestling announcers.

Burt said he never received the car, he had to buy one with his own money.

Hernandez🙏🏽

Great Video Sir

Don't believe any of this BS! Not accurate at all....!!!!!!

Sally Field is hot in this, and I still ❤ her

Nowadays parents wait with their kids in the car for the school bus. I've seen a parent drive the kid to the end of a very long driveway to wait for the bus. And when they drop the kids off after school the driver has to wait for the kid to get in the house before he leaves. I walked home by myself on the first day of kindergarten. And we wonder why post-Gen X people are so pathetic and soft.

Want to buy some cinnamon toothpicks? I have mint as well. Hurry up. I have to go do my paper route.

Relate 💯 %

Born in 69 ...... Suck it!

I was a latch key kid, and I am a boomer. I had a single mother who worked. I used to somehow get my key mixed in with my lunch bag and I would always have to go through the trash in the lunch room to find it. I was more together in jr high, lol.

(1967) i'm still what you described. i try to explain it to the younger bunch about how we are and the things we had to do and they just look at me in awe/like i'm crazy.

Not all gen x were latchkey kids. Some had moms home that did not work. Some of these moms would take or pick up their kids, and sometimes friends and or other kids to afterschool activities.

Had a conversation with my mother. She wondered how her kids learned how to do anything because she was always at work. I said we taught ourselves. We were part of the latchkey generation. She got offended. "You kids weren't latchkey kids! The doors were never locked!"

most wasteful and selfish generation. you guys really solved inflation.

The ending is perfect! Ty for making my day.

I am not suggesting this at all...but, me and my best friend in he late 70's took a raft into Simi Valley wash while flooded halfway to Moorpark.... That's just one insane thing ......lucky to be alive.... moreover i wouldn't replace it for the world...great memories.

We raised ourselves. Our parents were both working because inflation was going up very quickly. Trying to pay the bills and keep a roof over your head.

Born in 83 and still lived this way 90-95. Ma had me at 16…miss my Aunts and Uncles who were more like big sisters n brothers. Right on.

Gen X and latchkey kids were never forgotten more than any other generation. We were just allowed to have a life independent of a helicopter parent. Most of today's kids I know literally can't survive if they don't have a video screen telling them what to think in one hand and Mommy telling them what to do while holding their other hand. It's pathetic, and unfortunately, a lot of them are not growing out of it. Hopefully there are more than enough who do. But remember ... it's not the kids who are to blame. We, as parents, are letting it happen.

Most parents were NOT trying to make ends meet. Women were convinced by feminist that staying home and raising you wasn't important nor fulfilling. It was all a lie. That changed society to the point now that men expect you to work, the Govt want the extra taxes from you working, now couples are trapped by their debt and really must work to make ends meet.

Please. I was born in 1954 and was given no key. In the winter I had to stay in the barn if it was really cold. I learned how to take the putty out of a window after a while in order to sneak in the house. Had to leave prior to anyone coming home. I was ten years old when this started.

“Lost and found” problem solution generation!

" not looking for validation" that really sums us up for sure.

i liked the kw truck

Props to whomever kept Burt Reynolds' toupee from flying off...Quite the engineering feat! 👍🏻😄

Smokey and the Bandit was the movie that inspired my dad to become a trucker.

Sally Field not sexy enough??? 😮 Thank God Burt Reynolds had some sense. Their on screen chemistry really made the film

I bought a new black '77 Firebird because of this movie. Couldn't afford the Trans Am though, but it was still a beautiful car with a great Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette stereo system I had installed.

Yes the first one is hard to beat
