The most successful Pontiac Trans-Am commercial in history.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

That is some great marketing! Spent $4.3 million to make a commercial and made $126 million. Thanks for commenting, Matt!

[@davidareeves]

I was only 6 when this came out. My mum loved Burt so much, at Christmas she bought me a toy car Trans-Am. I didn't even know what it was until a few years later and the second movie came out.

[@ksavage681]

Burt complained that they didn't even give him one after all that.

[@ryurc3033]

​@@ksavage681but eventually they did. They gave him a Brand new trans am every year we'll into the 90s.

[@Lugnut64052]

And boy, did it every work, too.

[@nielgregory108]

Coors was higher ABV than other beers. It was illegal east of the Mississippi. My step-father was a truck driver and delivered furniture out west and made many bootleg backhauls back to the east coast. Paid very well.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

That’s awesome! Thanks for commenting!

[@billclay9489]

awesome

[@KFTx98]

First song was “the legend” sung by Jerry reed who was also the truck driver snowman, this is one of my all time favourites this film! Burt also did a lot of the stunts too!

[@Gr8Buccaneer]

best action-comedy ever..saw this about 35 times,still watchable.

[@charlieeckert4321]

This movie proves what a great stunt co-ordinator Hal Needham (1931 - 2014) was.

[@ericc8705]

This was a throwback to the era of "car"-movies (and probably one of the greatest ever put on film) ... another fun car-film which also featured Burt Reynolds was THE CANNONBALL RUN.

[@benjauron5873]

This movie opened the same weekend as "Star Wars" (or "A New Hope" as the millennials call it). _And it won!_ That's right. When "Star Wars" and "Smokey and the Bandit" went toe to toe at the box office back in the summer of '77, "Smokey and the Bandit" came out on top! Never let Star Wars nerds forget that.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

I am jealous at the opportunities at the movies that people had in the 70s. It’s time to bring that element back with both quality of films and packed crowds at the theaters. Thanks for sharing, Ben! We appreciate it.

[@jamielandis4308]

I saw this a couple of months before Star Wars. Burt Reynolds was a huge draw and the CB craze was in full swing.

[@dave-ox2eo]

I don't remember both films coming out on the same day, but, I do remember that I was more excited about Smokey at the time.

[@craigwhip]

May be true, but, Star Wars ended up being the #1 film of the year, and earning twice as much as Smokey and the Bandit.

[@benjauron5873]

@@craigwhip 18-1 (New York Giants fans know what that means.)

[@MissTeeFy]

Definitely watch Bandit 2 and Cannonball Run (keep watching at the end for the bloopers).

[@CH3NO2Semonious]

I'm glad you mentioned that! A lot of reactors miss that part.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Thanks for the heads up. We missed it on Airplane.

[@DaleGribbletheCat]

I watched the cannonball run 2 months ago and immediately it was my new favourite movie

[@kd5you1]

Speaking of The Dukes of Hazzard, the motorcycle officer who pulled Snowman over played Enos in The Dukes of Hazzard TV show. His real name is Sonny Shroyer.

[@kennylovettshow]

John Schneider and Ben Jones were also extras in the movie.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

The guy that Big Enos asked where he can find the Bandit is Ben Jones who played Cooter

[@niepieisme9830]

If you appreciated this stunt filled movie, another you might like is Hooper, also starring Burt Reynolds and Sally Field.

[@BigGator5]

"For the good old American life: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money." Fun Fact: The second-highest grossing movie released in 1977, after Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). Justice For All Fact: A majority of the lines and quotes spoken by Jackie Gleason's character, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, was improvised. Jackie Gleason said that his cafe scene with Burt Reynolds was not in the original story; it was Gleason's idea. Buford T. Justice was the name of a real Florida Highway Patrolman known to Burt Reynolds' father who was once Chief of Police of Jupiter, Florida. Music Enthusiast Fact: Hal Needham asked Jerry Reed to write a theme song for the film. A couple of hours later, Reed presented what would become East Bound And Down (1977) to Needham. With an acoustic guitar, Reed started to play it and Needham immediately stopped him. Thinking Needham didn't like it, Reed offered to re-write the song. To which Needham replied: "If you change one note, I'll kill you!" and the song went on to become one of Reed's biggest hits. Beer Enthusiast Fact: Coors Beer was actually never illegal to transport east of the Mississippi, but due to the location of the Coors bottling plant in Colorado it was very difficult to get out of the Rocky Mountains so it was very hard to get into places East of Texas. The Coors Brewing Co. did not have any authorized distributors east of the Mississippi River because the beer was unpasteurized and the company could not be sure it would not spoil if it was transported too far. So the company just didn't sell it eastward, until refrigeration and transportation technology improved. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: On the DVD documentary, Burt Reynolds says that a senior executive at Pontiac promised him a free Trans-Am if the movie became a hit. It did and the 1977 T-Top Trans-Am became one of the hottest selling cars of the year. When the movie became a hit, Reynolds expected the executive to come through with his promise. But the Trans-Am never came. After a few months, Reynolds, (who was afraid of looking like one of those pretentious stars looking for freebies), finally called Pontiac. As it turned out, the executive that made the promise had retired and the new executive refused to keep the promise that was made by the previous Pontiac Trans Am executive.

[@DonaldRGreenCPP]

Probably my favorite movie ever. Saw it in the theater when I was 9, and well over 100 times since then. It is alien to me thinking about a person who has never seen it.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Bryan here. One thing I’m enjoying about watching movies with Beaver is how they take me back to my childhood. I’ve seen most of the movies we’ve watched for the channel (hadn’t seen this one though). It’s been awesome to experience movies I’d seen a million times as a child or a much younger adult and to remember how I saw them then but also how I see them through the lens of an older and (hopefully) wiser person.

[@thebrinx9632]

"Hey" and "Hat"

[@terryv2006]

To this day, when I’m in a hurry, I sing the song in my head; Long way to go…short time to get there. We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done

[@AddSerious]

Movies like this is the motivation (and vanishing point) and is the reason Quintin did Death Proof. Real cars smashing into real cars.

[@CH3NO2Semonious]

Deathproof is an awesome movie.

[@benjauron5873]

This franchise is BEGGING for a prequel. An origin story. Set in the early or mid 1960s. Find hip young actors who resemble Reynolds and Reed to play Bandit and the Snowman, and reveal a lot of the stories about how they met the minor characters in this movie, like the Grave Robber, Foxy Lady and, of course, the Burdettes. A younger and thinner Burford Justice can play a roll too just as long as he never actually finds out who Bandit is or what he looks like. Let's start pre-production now!

[@DaleGribbletheCat]

I never thought of that but holy hecc I want one

[@keithvincenttucker9923]

I've been watching this, since I was a small child in the early 80s. Back then, I, obviously, didn't get a lot of the jokes, but I love the car chases and the trucks.

[@TTM9691]

That was a blast! Hey, you know what you guys should check out? The Blues Brothers! Again: amazing car stunts (among other great things)

[@Farmer_Dave]

Childhood Crush: Jill St. John, Bond Girl in James Bond Diamonds are Forever

[@randymoore8336]

Jerry Reed wrote and sang these songs and he was the truck driver and buddy to Burt Reynolds

[@CrowVWade]

Scrolled a little to see if this was pointed out. 👍 Jerry is awesome

[@mfpmaniac]

Love thus film! Fun fact: you mentioned Dukes of Hazzard at the opening...when the tire flies off of Buford's car in the end credits, the guy in the black hat far right was John Schneider...who skipped school tha day and snuck onto the set.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

There were no body cameras in the seventies. Pat McCormick ( Big Enos ) was a big comedy actor in the day. Paul Williams ( Little Enos ) was a singer songwriter. Jerry Reed ( Snowman ) was a country music star. This movie was filmed entirely in Georgia.

[@phoenixman8569]

I believe that Paul was also in the original 1968 planet of the apes...

[@williamjones6031]

1. Movir magic: Empty beer cases at the Texarkana storage place. 2. Thanks to this movie CB sales skyrocketed. 3. There is a TV edited version with the language severely overdubbed. 4. Jackie Gleason absolutely kills in this movie. 😇 5. Jr. was there to give Gleason someone to work off of. 6. It's against the law to inform of police activity. Especially right in front of the officer. 7. High School boys all over the country had a crush on Sally Field.😍😋 8. Not too many people do this one so THANKS😁 9. "My dog didn't bite you mister. Fred, absolutely don't like grease." 10. "Hold on to your ass Fred." I still use that. 11. There are two more but not as good. 12. Three Trans-Am cars were used. Not including the stunt cars. 13. It's a shame you didn't care much for this thing. JK😏

[@orangeandblackattack]

The golden age of truckin'. I did run an impatient 4-wheeler into the median on I-12 in Louisiana and got approval honks from other drivers. lol.

[@ts1ezrdr]

This is an all-time favorite of mine. A lot of it was filmed in and around my hometown of Jonesboro, GA. I was 9 during the summer of '76 when it was filmed. It's nice to be able to look back and see my hometown just as it was when I was a kid.

[@mp-qw3fl]

Jackie Gleason's sheriff is in top 5 comedic movie roles of all time.. he nailed this

[@thebrinx9632]

Saw this film in 1977 (about 5 times in the theater) and since, somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-150 times since on tv/cable/youtube. Glad you guys had fun watching/reviewing..it was a movie that delivered what it promised...entertainment!

[@danielberg7644]

"Hooper" is another Burt Reynolds action movie. It's about a stunt man. Great stunts in it.

[@fasttruckman]

In 70's there were a lot of movies with car chases. Two the come to mind are the Duel and Bullet.

[@MGower4465]

Burt Reynolds was being given a lifetime achievement award in the 80s. Jackie Gleason appears in the middle if the ceremonies, in Buford T Justice getup, and proceeds to ham it it up from one side of the room to the other, about how he is going to catch the Bandit and lock him up for the rest of his natural life. And then, lock him up for the rest of his unnatural life.

[@williamwoll4703]

My crush at that time was Pamela Hensley (Princess Ardalla on Buck Rogers).

[@protovision2010]

great movie + reaction! Hal Needham (director) and Burt Reynolds did a few fun car-stunt movies like this one, check out 'The Cannonball Run' (1981), and 'Hooper' (1978). My fave over-the-top car chase scene is from 'The Blues Brothers' (1980), a fantastic movie for so many reasons 👍

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

Hooper was very good

[@DR-mq1vn]

A really great movie is "Deliverance". Serious movie and excellent!

[@RetroRobotRadio]

13:40 when the sheriff threatened to punch his son's mama in the mouth he was implying that she must have cheated on him to produce that son.

[@Gravyballs2011]

Chevy spoke for Pontiac. The audio of the car was provided by the same 1955 Chevy featured in "American Graffitti"-driven by Harrison Ford- and that car was also featured in "Two-Lane Blacktop"

[@teec.1380]

Another GREAT reaction guys! This is one of my favorite movies! Thanks 😊 for memories

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Our pleasure, Tee! Bringing back memories for people is my favorite part of movie reactions. Always makes me smile!

[@larae6129]

They made a total of 3 Smokey of Bandits movies

[@Movie_Collector_Maniac]

There are actually 7 bandit movies but I believe the last 4 were made for tv movies. Of course only the first 2 had Burt Reynolds. He was in the 3rd one as cameo role only.

[@MGower4465]

16:06 In reference to Dukes of Hazzard, the motorcycle officer is Sonny Shroyer, Enos Strait on Dukes.

I think this was the first time I ever heard Jackie Gleason cussing. I remember him fondly as Ralph from the classic TV show The Honeymooners.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

To the moon!

[@curtmueller4627]

The reason for all the great stunts was the director Hal Needham, who was one of the most well known and the highest paid stuntman in Hollywood.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Paul Wiliams wrote so many Movie songs. He had a very lucrative career, they were everywhere. He wrote Great lyrics.

[@zaphod2505]

I don't know that Coors had to pay a cent for this movie. At the time it was more of a regional product that was illegal in many states. Because it was illegal it had a forbidden fruit type of aura around it and it was being smuggled (maybe not by the truck load) into areas it couldn't be bought. They could have paid for product placement but they didn't need to because the idea of the movie was based on a real issue at the time.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

That’s great info and makes complete sense as to why they made it so obvious. Context always helps! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Pixelologist]

Sally Fields WAS one of my primary crushes. She was fine, she was funny, and she filled out those jeans so nicely.

[@kennylovettshow]

Fun fact. Buford T Justice was about 80% ablibbed by Jackie Gleason

[@BluntReactionsBB]

His mini biography on IMDB is unbelievable! Influential to the history of cinema.

[@raymondoverbee2300]

Fun fact: All lyrical songs in this movie were sung by Jerry Reed aka Cledus Snow aka The Snowman the driver of the 18-wheeler The Legend Westbound and Down Bandit Eastbound and Down Also three actors in the movie stared in The Dukes of Hazzard Cooter at the beginning that says I ain't seen him Enos the motorcycle cop the pulls Snowman over Bo Duke is hit in the leg by the tire from Sheriff Buford T Justice's car at the end

I graduated in 1996. I don't remember if I saw this before that or not, but I was a Burt Reynolds and Sally Field fan, and grew up watching car shows like Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider, so I know this found its way into my movie library fairly quickly as an adult.

Jackie Gleason is perfect in the Honeymooners very funny he is actually my favorite then Snowman. But Jackie is hilarious in Honeymooners tv show. Many say The Bandit is the main coolest but Jackie plays his role to me and steals the show him and if more screentime SNowman xD which he Snowman does the music hes a singer.

[@MGower4465]

Coors was not Pasteurized, and was transported warm, so it could only be shipped a limited distsnce from the brewery. The MS river made a convenient line. Craft beers today have tge same type of issue - they have a limited reach. 80k then is 400k now.

[@lordwalker71]

Burt and Sally dated for years after this and before he died he said she was the love of his life but she doesn’t feel the same way in her autobiography she said he was a bad kisser and very controlling. Most of the movie was Adlibbed because there wasn’t much of a script. I was 6 when it came out. The president of GM promised Burt a new trans am for the rest of his life after the movie came out because sales of Trans Am skyrocketed after it came out but the guy died two years later and never got his Trans Ams.

You mention this being the time period of the dukes of hazard on here this was released about a year befor they started that series And someone on here mention sunny Sawyer, being the cop on the motorcycle couple some more interesting facts on this movie is at the very end If you pay attention to where you're Buford t Justice's tire rolls too it actually lands right next to John Snyder who played Bo Duke also the movie that inspired the TV series Dukes of hazard was called white lightning starring Bert Reynolds.

[@mooncritter721]

I had one of those Trans-ams. Same color with all the extras. It was fast and such a great car. I miss it. 10,000 was the price for a new one but now it will run you 100,000 for a clean one. Great car but now I can`t afford to get another one.

[@cherylsims5636]

My first Favorite Movie of all time. I was in High School at the time. Trivia fact this movie almost beat out Star Wars for Best Movie in 1977. I think it was like 49%/51%. It was filmed mostly around Atlanta GA and Hal Needham was one of the best car stuntman of all time. Pontiac only gave them 2 trans am for the Firebird and the first one was destroyed after that first bridge jump. So for the rest of the movie they had to take parts from the first model to keep the second model going. The sales of the Trans Amm went thru the roof right after. The biggest thing you 2 didnt pick up on was the whole "CB RADIO" thing. Sales of the CB radio took off. Now its seems with days of cellphones the only ones who still uses CB radios are the truckers. This movie had a Big Impact on the entire Southern culture of the time. You can buy a portable one at a truck stop and if your doing a road trip you can talk to truckers anywhere and ask for info about places, roads etc. The "Humor" of the time was very different much stuff went right over your heads. When Sheriff Justice said "What the hell is the world coming tooo" that was a direct racial comment against blacks. If you think thats bad you should watch The 70's TV Series ""All in the Family"" The amount of racial comments was made fun of. Now people would have a heart attack if All in the Family was shown. I cant say I really like your reaction because you didnt include enough of the clips, with a lot of the lines. I know KZbin has become a bunch of SOB to reaction makers about what and how much they can include. This is WRONG! I'm too cheap to buy anyone Patreon thing. There are sequels to this movie but don't bother with them. This is the perfect example of how sequels get worse to bad... For example, In the ALIEN movie series, some of the sequels, are Great, but then they also get bad.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

I didn’t realize that CBs weren’t popular in cars until this movie. How interesting!

It is shame that most that do a reaction to this movie cut out the good parts. It’s like everybody is either scared that they are going offend someone or they are afraid of KZbin. They do the same thing with Blazing Saddles. Back in the day people made fun of every thing and no one got offended. Checkout Burt Reynolds in Gator, White Lightning, Deliverance, and the original The Longest Yard.
