Smokey and the Bandit (5/10) Movie CLIP - That's an Attention Getter (1977) HD

[@richardsiciliano7117]

Him emerging from that car with that music announcing his presence is really a great movie moment.

[@DTM-ch7jy]

Gleason's body language and approach and his walk are priceless. I don't know if this can be taught in any acting school. Every movement from getting out of the car to the end was like poetry in motion. Rumor has it that he ad-libbed the whole movie. I could watch this over and over again.

[@johnreidroberts2838]

His acting and the tuba music were perfect together in this scene.

[@TravelinBand747]

JR R Yes, the totally over-the-top music (which is hilarious, btw) perfectly underscores the Sheriff’s tough guy attitude and his sense of self-importance.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

Not thr whole movie, just lots of it

[@televisionarchivestudios1130]

He did. Also some of the actors couldn't keep a straight face during the filming

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

Even how he got their attention by snapping his Zippo lighter closed. This guy was an artist.

[@gameoholic1994]

Legend says those 3 guys are still keeping their hands on the car to this day.

[@1977crabb]

I said that last night

[@gregorymoore2877]

It is speculated that they are thinking about going home, or going to eat, or... other things. But they're not doing it.

[@westerlyrhodeisland6256]

In Vermont til this day, there's 3 guys in a car greening out and having panic attacks being interrogated with littering and?

[@Ella-bg2ve]

It’s true I drove past yesterday

[@zzzaccounting5924]

And they're still thinking about it

[@zeake13]

I love how he unsnapped his holster

[@thomasshort1784]

@zeake13 I'm sure, considering he'd been sheriff all those years, he thought it paid to be safe than sorry. When you're any law enforcement officer, you never know just what kind of situation you could be called to deal with and, most important, the people involved!

[@fourthgirl]

Roll up on gravel, opens car door, steps out, closes door, walks on gravel, opens lighter, ignites, and all they hear is the click of the lighter closing. Genius!

[@1023Jaybird]

Just the expression on Buford's face as he get out of the car establishes his character.

[@JS-mr2ei]

Jackie Gleason should have won an Oscar for this role.

[@depaola63]

That was gonna be my post exactly! HE made this movie!! CLASSIC! I am 54 in May and I remember when this came out I was 14...1977' ( the same year Elvis passed!)..Life is ....................................................................flying by! 40 fucking years ago! Jackie Gleason, was already a LEGEND when he made this! He and Burt and the rest of the cast! Life man......goes by too fast!

[@bobsirunkle3393]

Nicky Depaola. Hey Nicky...you said it too fast.. Same age and Also May. And I saw this the day Elvis died. Never forget it. Peace.

[@zizwop]

No kidding, this movie would have totally sucked without him in it.

[@Biorythym]

That being said, it's probably the reason they thought They could make "Smokey & the Bandit part II" without Reynolds

[@DEthe5150]

Yeah, I could totally see that. Gleason should have been nominated, to say the least; had he been nominated, it would have been for Best Supporting Actor (considering Reynolds was the lead actor of the film).

[@eternalhalloween1]

I'm sure Mr. Gleason will probably be the most remembered as Ralph Kramden. But this is a strong contender for his 2nd place spot. One great thing about this first film (that was lost in the 2nd) was that despite his role as the antagonist, we were allowed in the first film a chance to cheer for him now and then. (This scene being one of them obviously.)

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

No doubt. I look on his character with no animosity, just a guy doing his job--like an insane pitbull that just can't let it go even after crossing several states.

[@airdriver]

Jackie was once of a game show that lasted only two episodes. The first episode was of the actual game. The 2nd show was Gleason standing in front of camera APOLOGIZING for how bad the concept was and promising never to do anything like that again.

[@The2ndFirst]

I never saw him as bad. Just........Misguided perhaps.

[@theoriginalmikeg.]

The music alone lol

[@alphaw0lfenvt]

Never gets old such a classic film I think I saw this when I was like 6 or 7 and never stopped saying put the evidence in the car Buford was always my favorite character.

Seen this movie more times than I can remember and this is the first time I've noticed the sweat ring around Jackie's neck line... I've heard that he was drunk as a skunk through most of the shooting because that's how he could ad lib at his best... I guess all that alcohol and the hot Southern Summer didn't mix too well for ol' Jackie G.

[@AnontheGOAT]

Jarrad Molloy plus being overweight on top of all that.

[@vincentforsberg4102]

Not to mention apparently he was a pothead too

[@Nfarce]

Excellent! Love hearing that! I was 10 when this movie came out and didn't get to see it until several years later when it came out on HBO, back in the day when we only had about 15 channels and dials on the "big screen" 25-inch tube TVs, heh. Glad you like it kid. The 70s and 80s in movies and TV in general were great to grow up in (let alone the music), so I'm sorry you missed out! But thankfully you can appreciate the good stuff and not the crap we are dealt with today.

[@xamurai00]

In Ireland back in the 80's growing up we had TWO channels!!

[@johncahalane7327]

Gleason's comic timing and banter was classic I understand he add libbed much of the dialogue, getting out of the caaaar, the cigarette gag, the walk, it was classic of a country Sherriff from the 1950s, you faced worse from your dad...
