Burt probably didn’t know the Buford was coming to crash the party. This is great improvisation at it’s finest. Jackie Gleason didn’t have scripted lines in the the 3 Smokey and the Bandit movies. These movies were prove that you don’t need a script. As Gold Hat said in the “Treasures of the Sierra Madre”…”Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ badges!”

There will never be anyone like Jackie Gleason. RIP Mr. Gleason💐💙🙏🏻

Love Smokey and the bandit and cannonball run

Smokey and the Bandit is great movie! One of the destroyers I served aboard was the USS Sampson (DDG-10). In the Navy, after refueling from a support ship, the receiving combatant pulls away at a high speed and usually had a "break-away" song that is played over the ship's 1MC (ship-wide loudspeaker). Our Skipper would order up flank speed and as we pulled away from the supply ship we'd blast out "East Bound and Down"! Awesome; we loved it!

Loved Jackie. Loved everything he did, including his music. My dad rarely watched movies but Smokey and the Bandit was one we enjoyed watching together. I bought a '78 Trans Am after I graduated college. My dad had to pick it up for me as I was working. I don't think I ever saw a bigger grin on his face while driving it.

@@bullbaylissMusic unfortunately not. After our daughter was born it was hard to navigate a car seat out of it. LOL. It broke my heart to sell it but it was just getting to the point where it was going to need a little work, including new seals for the T- tops as it was just starting to leak. But it was a looker and a conversation piece every time I pulled up to the pump to get gas. I constantly had people putting a note on my windshield asking me to contact them if I ever decided to sell it. I may find one again one day if the opportunity is right. They were fun to drive.

This duo was magical! They will never remake this movie and have it give off the great aura to movie audiences that the original did. Burt, Jackie, Jerry, Sally, Paul, and Pat made this movie so great! I have it on DVD! It's such a fun movie! I first watched it back in the late 70's or early 80's on cable TV, and have loved it ever since. Much of the dialogue was ad-libbed, as the script was really bad. The actors made this movie be a great success! May Hal, Burt, Jackie, Pat, and Jerry RIP!

@@bullbaylissMusic The irony is that humor is the one thing that can actually bring us together. I very much agree with Bob Newhart who said, "The problem is that we live in an uptight country. Why don’t we just laugh at ourselves? We are funny. Gays are funny. Straights are funny. Women are funny. Men are funny. We are all funny, and we all do funny things. Let’s laugh about it.”

@@ChiefWizard666 you speak wise words,it did poke fun at the racist's unfortunately the likes of certain left wing politician's believe that by poking fun at the racist's,you were infact a racist,this for my part and I would think yours is not the case.

A great entertaining movie with a good comedic cast brings back memories. Rip Burt and Jackie.

That was one hell of a movie 🍿🎥, one of the best I've ever seen, Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason took the cake on that one, excellent movie 🍿🎥

Smokey and the Bandit was a classic film. Non - stop comedy. They do not make films like that anymore.

There’s some real stars in that room ...great stuff ..never to be repeated..good times

Shortly after this great American classic was released, I read that Jackie turned down the part at first and I can't think of ANYONE who could have played his part. HE NAILED IT!!!

You never know

There will never be another one like Jackie Gleason!

This was the only time I really cracked up watching Jackie Gleason, and he was perfectly cast for this part. "You some bit**".

Wow never seen this before. So awesome. Movies just ain’t the same anymore. 70s 80s and even a part of the 90s were great decades for movies. RIP Jackie and Burt

The best times for movies. Now they seem to have ran out of ideas and making reboots all the time or a film which blatantly don’t have a single ideas of its own

I love Jackie. Man, why tv had to change. RIP Burt and Jackie. 2 legends!

Smokey and the bandit never gets old I watched it again the other day laughed like first time I seen it. Even though I have most of lines memorized by now.

Pure gold...he didn't even look at Burt, not once at the end. So great...

We met Jackie Gleason in Reno, Nevada he and his friends were sat next to us at the Casino Restaurant where we were dining, he said hello right away and was very friendly, and asked where were from and so on, we told him were from Reno and Lake Tahoe Area, he was impressed by that and said he loved Incline Village North Shore Lake Tahoe, I explained to him thats where we are from, he was impressed again, told us our dinner and our bar tab was on him, and told us he was happy to do it for us, I'll never forget that and how friendly he was.

Me, my Brothers, and my Dad especially loved watching Smoky & the Bandit! We gotta kick outta watching this show! Happy Father's Day to all gentlemen who enjoyed watching this show as well! Oh, to the ladies my Mom & Sister also watched this show and enjoyed it too!

Thanks fella

Burt was The Man and B T. Justice was a good ole grumpy man :)👍

These movies came out when I was a kid. Didn't get to see them until adulthood...but it was worth the wait. Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason just made this whole Sheriff/Bandit relationship so memorable that decades later, we're still watching and enjoying it. Well done, gentlemen. You're gone, yes...but you are far, far from forgotten....

Sheer magic from both of these delightful actors :) Thank you both for giving a piece of magic to millions RIP

Talk about offended. Imagine Don Rickles at one of the Dean Martin roasts. Those day's a joke was a joke. No one got offended. Now as for Burt. I remember when he was king of the box office. And those bandit movies. Those were good times. Burts laugh used to crack up the whole theater. Man in the 70s we had great actor's, movies, music, fast cars hot chicks. We had it all. ☮️✌️🕊️🤟
