Smokey And The Bandit

[Capt_Redneck]

Alright everyone, didn't think I would let someone else start a Burt Reynolds movie topic and not begin with Smokey And The Bandit.

This is one of the best Good Ol' Boy car chase / trucker movies that they have ever made. Great cast that worked so great together. Jerry Reed was awesome . Jackie Gleason was the picture of the perfect Texas lawman.

Come on now let's here some GOOD things to say about my favorite movie.

Darrell

[MaryAnne]

Man I could yap about this movie for hours. My absolute favorite thing about the film is the Trans Am. :) However, I could especially recite dialouge...probably beginining to end. Scary. Khee! But for now, random samplings....


"Bandit, yer reckless and ya live much too hard.... I shoulda gone to Nashville!" =)


"Daddy! My hat blew off!"
"I hope your G--damn head was in it!"


"A Texas gumball machine?"


"Big town ain't it?"
"Yeah. I wonder what they do for fun around here?"
"Probably sit around and watch the cars rust."


"Four miles. G'damn it....four miles."


"Oh I love your suits! But it must be a bear, to get a 68 Extra Fat. And a 12 Dwarf." (That's the tv edited version. ROFL)


Anybody ever notice that the version released on DVD has scenes missing that were added in to the television edited version?? Man that drives me nuts!!

Come on now let's here some GOOD things to say about my favorite movie.

Darrell

your kidding me - it's my all time fav movie as well. NO JOKE.

[Capt_Redneck]

Lisa

which version of the DVD has the TV scenes? The pursuit pack with 1,2,& 3 or the single mvie version?

I bouth the single disc and right after that they came out with the Pursuit Pack...That bugged me a lot , same price as the single disc..



Isn't Smokey just a fun movie to watch.


Waynette Snow: No, Bandit! Not this time! Cledus is not goin' with you! He got in enough trouble last time! Dammit, Bandit, look at me when I'm talking to you!

Bandit: I find it hard to look at you, Waynette. With all those curlers in your hair, you look like you're tryin' to pick up a radio station in Savannah.
__________________________________________________ __________

And probably my favorite quote

Snowman: "Hey, Bandit, me and Fred have a little question for you."

Bandit:"What's that?"

Snowman:"Why are we doing this? They said it couldn't be done."

Bandit:"That's why we're doing it."




Darrell

[Eddiemunster]

"You can't drive a fork truck!"
"I can drive any forkin' thing around."

At least that's how I think it went, when they were loading the beer on the truck.

[Capt_Redneck]

Loading all that precious Coors beer.....

I think that is why Coors is my favorite beer. Burt used Coors the movie Hooper as well. .....and I am not talking Coors Light, Origianl Coors all the way.

[dukesfan1979]

Its nice to be at a place where the people know their stuff when it comes to movies and television! We got the Dukes of Hazzard and we got Smokey and the Bandit.....Life is good!
The Truckstop scene from Smokey and the Bandit (some details of the scene I left out but ya'll wil get the picture...here goes).......

Bandit is sitting in the "Choke and Puke" Truck Stop....Sheriff Justice comes in yelling and screaming at juinor.........

Sheriff:
"a lemme have a diablo sandwich.... a Dr. Pepper and make it fast im in
a godd$&# hurry..."

sheriff runs back out to yell at juinor...

Sheriff:
"YOU WANT SUMPIN?"
Juinor:
hush puppies Daddy.....
Sheriff:
"WE AINT GOT TIME FOR THAT CRAP".....(grumbles)......"dumb
somebi&%#!!!!"

Bandit:
"you must be in a hell of a hurry huh sheriff?"

Sheriff:
"you can bet your a**on that boy"

Bandit:
"who you chasin? somebody chasin you"

(sheriff looks bewildered at Bandit)

Sherrif:
"nobody's chasin me boy...im a chasin a godd@## maniac all the way from Texacana Texas"

Bandit:
"really?....what is he a bank robber?"

Sheriff:
(mouth full of sandwich) "BANKROBBEAH?".....BANKROBBIN IS BABY
SHI# ALONGSIDE TO WHAT THIS DUDE IS DOIN"....ALMOST KILLED
20 LAW OFFICERS....DRIVIN THROUGH PEOPLES BACKYARDS.........
KNOCKIN DOWN MAILBOXES....GOT A BROAD IN THE CAR....TOOK
HER ACROSS THE STATE LINE.....THATS A MAN ACT....AND I DONT
THINK SHE'S GOT HIS PERMISSION....AND THATS KIDNAPPIN!!!.....
HOWS THAT FOR HIGHJINKS???....."

(Sheriff justice wacks his chest with his fist....belches out what looks like a painful belch and asks......

Sheriff: "WHAT I OWE"

Bandit: "no....here lemme pay for it"
Sheriff: "eemmm no no no"
Bandit : "no..your a officer of the law I'd be honored"
Sheriff : " well much obliged....wheres the can I gotta take a squirt"
Bandit: " ohh a right over there....."

( the sheriff goes to the mens room and the Bandit grabs the bag of
food and runs out )


To me, this was one of the funniest scenes in Smokey and the
Bandit.......take care ya'll

[Eddiemunster]

Wow. With all that memorized, I think you could go to jail for illegally downloading movies into your brain!!!

Now, only if I could do that. Who knows? Maybe in about 20 or so years, we'll have an internet accesable chip implanted into all of our heads!!! :lol:

[dukesfan1979]

LOL...well I have seen Smokey and the Bandit at least 100 times and Jackie Gleason just tears me up even if I watch it to this day! (and still do). Not to blow my own horn or brag but I kinda have a knack for memorizing lines from movies....I tried to clean up the curses the best I could, I hope I didnt offend any of the Hazzard folk....appoligies If I did....
take care ya'll...

[Eddiemunster]

Don't worry about offending anyone, since it's probably not intentional. Even though this is a "G" rated forum, we've all heard the infamous "F" word, or said it a few million times!!! :D

I have the single disc (didn't know there was a pursiut pack!) and the single disc that I have does not have the scenes that are in the one I taped off tv. Very disheartening. LOL.

I have not seen Smokey and the Bandit 3 (and given I've yet to see it on DVD, I'm thinkin' it wasn't all that great ROFL). But I have seen number 2. (Again taped off television).

Anybody think that the roller coaster that gets destroyed in S&B2 is the same roller coaster seen in the background of the truck ro-day-o in the first movie? LOL

[Capt_Redneck]

The pursuit pack has all three Smokey & The Bandit movies. Doesn't that stink that when it is shown on regular TV it gets added scenes because they edit it for content. They did that with Fast Times At Ridgemont High, had different scenes added for broadcast TV because of the ones they edited for TV...Go figure......


Darrell

[DaneyDuke]

I just got done watching this on WGN about 30 minutes ago. =) It's one of few movies that I enjoy seeing again. Catching part of a scene or dialouge, that was missed in another viewing.

AMC will be airing it and Smokey and The Bandit 2, Thursday December 23, and Friday December 24.

[R.J.1984]

Wow. With all that memorized, I think you could go to jail for illegally downloading movies into your brain!!!


If thats the case - you had better lock me up and throw away the key as I have the Entire movie memorized almost word for word and the other guy got some of the captions wrong. not intentionally ofcourse but it is my fav movie and I've watched it so many times that I can't watch it without laughing after the first 5 or 10 minutes.
the original way the c.b conversation went was :

Snowman: Oh - hey bandit!
Bandit: Yah guy.
Smowman: Me and Fred got a question.
Bandit: Well - what do you and fred want?
Snowman: How come we doing this?
Bandit:Well why not?
Snowman: Well - they said it couldn't be done!
Bandit: Well, that's the reason son.
Snowman: That's good with Fred.
Bandit: Haha.

[R.J.1984]

"You can't drive a fork truck!"
"I can drive any forkin' thing around."

At least that's how I think it went, when they were loading the beer on the truck.

Snowman: Well how are we going to load all this though?
Bandit: How'bout with this?
Snowman: You can't drive a forklift!
Bandit: I can drive any forkin' thing around.ya big dumbbell.
Snowman: O.K. Start it up - now back it up!Woah I said back it up - not raise it up.
Bandit: I did back it up ya big dumbbell.
Snowman: Watchg the beer, watch the beer.
Bandit: Oh shut-up ya big dumbbell.
Snowman: Woah,woah.
(crash)
Snowman: Very funny,very funny!
Bandit: I though it was funny!

[Julieduke]

Smokey and the Bandit got some mention in the Dukes at least Burt Reynolds, how come he never guest starred on it. :P :D

[Eddiemunster]

I think Burt would've wanted too much money, and since WB already spent that money on all those Chargers. I'm sure they couldn't afford both. :lol:

[T-Man]

It sure would have been cool though, the general and the trans am haulin it down the same dirt road together......................., wonder haw flash and fred would have got along??

[Meadowmufn]

If you're really wondering what it'd be like if Bandit visited Hazzard, check out this fan fic submitted to us a few years back.

[Jamanda]

I believe Sonny Shoyer (Enos) appears as a motorcycle cop who pulls Snowman over. Maybe that's how he heard about the Dukes series. We'll have to watch that movie again.

[DixieDavenport]

Cooter (Ben Jones) and Bo (John Schneider) are in Smokey and the bandit also!

In one of the teen books YEARS ago it gave Bo's credits which listed Smokey and the Bandit. We watched, rewatched, and rewatched. We backed it up, fast forwarded, and paused it so many times I can still quote it line for line -- The only possible place he could be is when the 'crew' at the drive in blocks the road. Watch for a green jeep -- in the back is a blonde with sun glasses on! It has to be BO!

As for Cooter, at a autograph signing it was said he was in Smokey and the Bandit. Like I said I've watched it MORE than a few times but I came home and watched it again. YES, he is there. Near the very beginning when Big and Little Enos are at the Truck Rodeo looking for the Bandit. They ask a guy standing in front of a rig if he's seen the Bandit. The guy asked "who's askin' " Then the girl says he's over there. Look really close at the guy standing in front of the rig it is COOTER with Long hair and NO grease!

And Yes Enos is the the motorcycle cop that is going to ticket Snowman when Bandit and Carrie decoy him off the truck.

[JBama01]

I've heard that John Schneider was one of the teens at the first of the movie that were trying to steal the car on the side of the road. It was right after Carrie first gets in the car with The Bandit.

[MaryAnne]

He's not. LOL. I've watched that movie so many times and I can't find John in any shot. I also read somewhere that he was apparently the kid in the Coors shirt. Well there's two teens in Coors shirts (that I found) during the course of this movie and neither one of them is John.


Here's kid #1 in a Coors shirt....definetly not John...

http://www.dukesofhazzardfanfic.com/Images/notjohn1.jpg


Here's three of the kids that attempt to car strip Carries car, the kid in the middle with the yellow shirt is definetly not John....

http://www.dukesofhazzardfanfic.com/Images/notjohn2.jpg



But here's Cooter for all y'all lookin' for 'em!

http://www.dukesofhazzardfanfic.com/Images/benjones2.jpg



And here's Sonny (Enos)!

:D

[fonzi242004]

there was a tv show in 1994 called "Bandit" where John Schneider played as "Sheriff Enright" in part of the show so that is prolly what everyone is talking about.

also some of yall mentioned about the editing in the dvd version,i want to mention a "mistake" in the dukes of hazzard reunion. if u have watched the video version from columbia house and the tv version,did u notice that in the tv version don williams mentioned that tuitles was flash's grandpup but in the columbia house version that part was edited out?

[Brian Coltrane]

Fonzi, I think I have noticed that. Seemed like they did some post editing-edits.

MaryAnne, those are some great Smokey & the Bandit vid caps. I'm startin' to think we're gonna lose ya to the Smokey & Bandit fandom...you're probably buildin' "BanditNet" in yer spare time.

Or in your case, that would be SmokeyNet.


:wink:


Brian

[JBama01]

Great Pics MaryAnne...


Thanx.

[Julieduke]

How do you get Part two on this here thing?

[Julieduke]

That is just darling story , I have found something I have been looking for now. :P

[Meadowmufn]

John was in Bandit, near the end of the movie... hear it straight from his own mouth..

http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn//inside_fame/88816/episode_videos.jhtml#

[Brian Coltrane]

I've heard John mention this before - but in the umpteen years of Dukedom I've yet to see a picture provin' it. Maybe he picked that exact moment to face the wrong direction or something.

[Charger]

Smokey and the Bandit is a sweet 70's movie i just love it.

[Capt_Redneck]

Isn't this one of the best "fun" movies? I didn't think that any of ya'll liked this movie that much....I'm glad I started this one now.

As far as John Schneider , I thought it was in the scene that MaryAnne posted the pics from. Maybe his scene was cut?

[Julieduke]

Every Girl wanted to be the Trans Am with the Bandit after that movie?

[Capt_Redneck]

Alright time to add the most posted topic in the movie section...

I am hoping there is some Smokey & The Bandit references in the movie . It will both a tribute to Burt and the original Dukes . After all they referenced Burt Reynolds in the first episode - One Armed Bandits.

I just bought the Pursuit pack on DVD. After finally being able to watch Smokey 1 in its entirety, I haven't stopped giggling, or be able to drive "Eastbound and Down" from my head for days. Buford T. Justice is a riot.

Junior: "Daddy, my hat blew off."
Buford: "I hope your goddam head was in it!!"

The finale where just about every police car in Georgia is trashed is classic.

[Canadian_Country_Cousin]

Smokey and the Bandit ROCKS! It's definetly my new favorite. The first one is by far the best of the three. The third one just sucks big time, it was a waste of film. And I love the Cars Vs. Trucks scene in the second one. When all of the "county mounties, and mountie mounties" cars get trashed by the convoy of trucks! It's just fun fun fun!!!!

The third one is like I said a waste of film! I love the snowman and Fred, it just ain't the same without them! I think they either shounldn't have bothered filming it or waited til Burt was back. But I love the first one! I'm I going crazy or did I here somewhere that they were gonna remake Smokey and the Bandit as well? I know the Road Hammers are making a new vid to go with their version of East Bound and Down, I can't wait to see that! And If ya don't know who the Road Hammers are, well you can ask me!

Pat McCormick who played "Big" Enos Burdette has passed away....Sad news ya'll....

'Tonight Show' Comic Pat McCormick Dies Sat Jul 30,10:57 PM ET



Pat McCormick, a walrus-mustachioed comedy writer for Phyllis Diller, Red Skelton and others who also appeared on "The Tonight Show" and had a role in three "Smokey and the Bandit" movies, has died. He was 78.

McCormick died Friday at the Motion Picture and Television Fund's hospital in Woodland Hills, spokeswoman Jennifer Fagen said Saturday.

He was admitted to the facility in 1998 after a stroke left him partially paralyzed.

McCormick dropped out of Harvard Law School to pursue advertising work in New York but abandoned that career when he began earning money writing jokes for television and nightclub performers.

McCormick eventually became a writer for "The Jack Paar Show." Over a five-decade career, he wrote for the 1960s comedy series "Get Smart" and "The Danny Kaye Show." He also wrote and appeared on "Candid Camera" and was an announcer and straight man on Don Rickles' short-lived TV variety show in 1968.

He was a regular on "The New Bill Cosby Show" in 1972.

McCormick wrote for and made scores of appearances on "The Tonight Show." He played characters in sketches, dressing up as turkeys, squirrels and the shark from "Jaws." In one 1974 show, he streaked naked across the stage behind Carson during the opening monologue.

McCormick, who was more than 6 1/2 feet tall and weighed more than 200 pounds, also appeared in small roles in movies. He played Big Enos in the 1977 movie "Smokey and the Bandit" and two sequels.

We just saw Smokey and the Bandit last night on CMT...just about jumped out of our seats when we saw BEN JONES in an opening scene. Jam didn't recognize him with the moustache and Amanda had to point him out.

We already knew about the scene with SONNY SHROYER and were disappointed that he never takes those goggles off. Also, he does a better funny cop than mean cop. It was funny when he said "Thanks a lot!" after falling into large puddle on his bike.

We tried to find a young John Schnieder, but alas, it was all in vain.

We also noticed a lot of Dukes connections, such as, The Bandit's real name is Bo, Snowman's name is Cletus, obviously Big ENOS Burdette (rest in peace), and Fred being a basset hound (although a much larger one than Flash). There were also a lot of familar CB talk and car wrecks ( the top of a patrol car being stripped off).

Oh yeah, definately a good movie. We saw it the first time years ago on "Dinner and a Movie" and our sister Deb, we believe, still has the recipe for "Breaker Breaker Banana Cream Pie." As we recall, it was delicious. We'll have to make it again.

We figured, why not? We copy and pasted the recipe from the "Dinner and a Movie" website. Enjoy!

"Smokey And The Bandit" Breaker...Breaker Banana Cream Pie

The perfect snack for those midnight stops...10 4 over and out.

You will need:
For the Pie Crust:

1 8 oz package chocolate wafers, finely ground
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/8 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg white, beaten

For the Filling:

3/4 cup sugar
5 tbl cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups half and half
4 egg yolks, beaten
4 tbl butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
4 firm, ripe bananas in 1/4" slices
juice of 1 lemon

For the Topping:

2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
1 clever and irreverent CB handle to elevate you to folk hero status
1 persistent smokey on your tail

Directions:
1. Make the crust. Preheat the oven to 350 - F. In a large bowl combine the ground wafers, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon and beaten egg white. Stir with a fork until evenly mixed and well moistened.

2. Empty the crust mixture into well battered 9" pie plate. Spread and pat mixture evenly over the sides and bottom of the pie plate and bake 10 minutes until firm.

3. Make the Filling. In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan sift together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Slowly whisk in the milk and the egg yolks and continue whisking until creamy and free of lumps.

4. Place the egg and milk mixture over a medium heat and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Reduce heat to a low simmer and continue to whisk and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Pour the hot mixture into a mixing bowl, stir in the vanilla and butter and sprinkle with sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to cool for 20 minutes before filling the pie shell (the plastic wrap should lie directly on the pudding surface to prevent a skin from forming.)

6. Slice the bananas crosswise into 1/4" slices and toss with the lemon juice.

7. Fill the pie: Spread 1/3 of the filling in the bottom of the pie crust and arrange 1/2 the sliced bananas evenly over the filling. Spread another third of the filling over the banana layer and top with the remaining bananas. Finish by topping the remaining filling and dusting with a little toasted coconut. Refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours or until the filling has set.

8. Combine the cream and the coconut and whip until thickened but not stiff. Spoon coconut cream over each slice and eat rapidly.

9. Finish your coffee, tip the waitress and hop back in your 14 wheeler and remember good buddy, old truckers never die- they just get a new peter built.

I think y'all should watch Smokey & The Bandit again. There are alot of inneundos and a whole heck of a lot of cussing. It seems that people forget that or maybe have just seen it on TV only.

I have read a lot of reviews about the new DOH movie and the first thing they say negative is the cursing. Well Smokey & The Bandit was just as bad and you can't say it wasn't . Don't forget that this was one of the inspritations for the DOH series, so the new movie was on this level...

I'm gone

I know that there's seemingly hundreds of General Lee replicas on your side of the Atlantic, BUT.....

Has anyone ever done a 'Snowman' replica Kenworth W900 & semi-trailer???
That would definately be a sight to see :D :D

Did ya'll know there is a special edition DVD of Smokey & The Bandit that just came out a few weeks ago....

I am surprised that it took this long and wasn't really advertised or anything.

I got it for Father's Day last sunday. Smokey & The Bandit - Special Edition..

Let me just say they did an awesoem job on the sound , putting this in 5:1 surround. The sound and music is awesome now

The picture and colars are a lot brighter now. They really cleaned up the transfrer for the this DVD. It doesn't seem that this movie is almost 30 years old now.

The extras are decent. It is decent seeing Burt and Hal Needham reminisce about making the movie. There are even a few old interviews with Jackie Gleason. It was great seeing Paul Williams talk about it too. BUT where was Sally Field and Jerry Reed. Those 2 needed to be interviewed as they much apart of the film as the others. Maybe the "making of" could have been more like the Dukes BBQ on the season 1 DVD set. Have everyone together talking about the movie.

Overall it is worth it just to see the new transfer in 5:1 surround sound. Maybe they could have included some other extras like different stunts that didn't make it in the movie or maybe line flubs or some scenes that didn't make it in the movie.....

Smokey and the bandit, is a Great series of movies and i just have to say they down right rule

My daughter got me another copy of the Special Edition for Christmas.

From what I understand they changed some of the sounds when they remastered it in 5.1. The opening scene where the tractor starts up is a different one than the original and in a few other spots too.

Overall it is worth it nad most likely the only special edition we will ever get.
