This is awesome! I too have been searching for a clear copy of this movie. Loved it as a kid, mainly for the car. What a beauty! Thank you for your obsession!

Saw this movie in the mid ‘70s. Always thought it interesting that Art Carney (Ed Norton) chases Burt in “WW …” and Jackie Gleason (Ralph Kramden) chases him in “Smokey and the Bandit.”

Bama McCall Made this movie for me. Jerry Reed stole the show

I remember seeing the “World Premiere “ showing of this film in Murfreesboro Tn upon release. Seems like the Buick Special car was on display & some of the actors but not Burt. Long time ago & I was a teenager.

Thank you

Saw in movie house and loved it. Watch it when ever I can. I search for it.

I was a senior in H.S. first car 55 Chevy baby blue and white 14:00 - shot of Burt through car window. 41:52 - drive by. 46:22 - parked on Broadway.

Thanks for keeping Burt Reynolds memory alive. And so many outstanding talented people from this film are no longer with us anymore either.

The studio wanted to bury this movie because it goes against everything that is considered sacred by a few powerful people in Hollywood.

The flag symbolized that he was a Young Turk. Basically a rebel or revolutionary. It was a common term in the 50s.

Dukes was based on Moonrunners. It had nothing to do with Smokey and the Bandit, other than minor roles with Sonny Shroyer, Ben Jones and John Schneider as an uncredited extra

Hell has no fury as a woman scorned...he forgot..she never did...

Why'd you cut the 20th Century-Fox logo off the front?

This movie is so odd.

I’ve never liked Segal. I don’t think he was funny.

Why does the car have a Turkish flag on it ???

His movies got so silly there was barely any racing in them just gags that are not funny and guest stars or should I say friends he could just hang with what’s the point

It’s corny but hilarious! Must have seen it like 5 times. Unfortunately unpretentious comedy like this is impossible in these days, when even James Bond has turned into a depressed grouch.

Soooo underrated!

14:23 Hee Haw cast member one 14:52 Hal Needham playing cop 1:02:36 Hee Haw cast member two 1:05:50 Polly Bergen "Mel, Kiss My Grits" Flo from "Alice" Sitcom . I'd only seen TV cuts of this movie and there are some really great moments filled in. Really love Jerry Reed's "A Friend", searched the internet for the first ten years of the internet and had given up.

When I was a kid in the 80's there was a scene in this movie with Loni in a fringed bikini. Through the years I've watched it several times and never saw that scene again. Does anyone know the story behind why it was removed??

really like your channel, brother good stuff

Hound Dog is actually sung by Anson Williams of Happy Days

6:38 There's Bill McCutcheon - better known as Dropo from _Santa Claus Conquers the Martians_ !

Burt was a great guy. I wonder what happened to all his personal belongings

great vid. grew up with burt he's a class act and a clown

I had forgotten how great this movie is. Thank you for posting it. You can clearly see how great Burt and Jerry's friendship was. They made the perfect team.

Dar Robinson was a very creepy villain in Stick.

My favorite Burt Reynolds film. I watch it at least once a year.

I like the heck outta the movie but I can't help but notice all the cracks the director chose to take against the southern folk. Makes it kinda blasphemous against the Lord a little bit too, but I still enjoy the movie.. especially your cleaned-up version of it, Gator. Being a southern man, myself, a Nashville area native, I get a kick outta seeing all the stomping grounds like they used to be. 👌

Ain't nothin' like ol Burt. Though Jerry Reed has always been my hero. 🤠 We appreciate ya, Gator.

I need to watch this movie again. I haven't seen it in probably 30 years.

Burt Reynolds is the ONLY actor, who's films I never get tired of watching! I probably watch at least 2 or 3 of his movies every week! So far this week it's, The Longest Yard. Tonight I'm still deciding which one!😁🤷‍♂️👍👍 Great channel Gator!!!

Great movie, Gator! Any way though of you uploading Burt's director's cut of Stick??? I think every Burt fan on KZbin would love to see it!

The first robbery is awesome the guy said afterwards you come back and see us lol😂😂😂

Thanks!

Love this film. I decided to watch this at my local library while I was out...unfortunately due to stupid and pathetic British censorship, (I am in Wales)...the library blocked this documentary for sensitive content...at least I can watch it at home. My favourite Burt movie!!

Thank you for showing this I love this film

I still cannot help but ask, what if smokey 2 had been the run to Boston to get clam chowder in 18 hours…

This is SO greatly appreciated Gator! There was only one version on KZbin that looked pretty poor. This looks fantastic! One of my favorite Burt Reynolds films! Again, Thank You!!🙏

I seen this at the Drive In when it very first came out,Monroe county southern Indiana Starlight Drive In and the starlight Drive In is still going strong.

That’s exactly why I love Burt

Saturday is and will ALWAYS be the Sabbath. Sunday is the 1st day of the week, Not Monday. 💪😉🤙

Thanks man, For all you did to bring this wonderful piece of history to US

Thanks buddy, made my night!

I love that movie WW in the Dixie dance Kings I saw it on television when I was real young I am 66 years old now thanks for posting it bring back a lot of memories

Funny part! The old and @ the SOS that came out with a shot gun and coast the company thousands insted of the 20, 30 dollars they would of stole!!!❤❤❤

Funniest part was robbing a DRIVE THRU!!!!!!!!😂

One of my favorit movies when I was in my teen's.

Opening scene when he robs the gas stacion there is a red flag with a crescent moon and star. Flag of turkey. Islam. Very strange
