Smokey and the Bandit

Loved it! Its driving a big rig and getting away with illegal moves. Funny in spots and anticipation of finishing the race to win.

Great movie

Awesome! Classic movie. One of my husband's favorites. Can't go wrong watching it again

Being appreciative of Amazon making this movie available at this time I thought it warranted comment. This is a classic B-movie comedy that punches above due to to three men: Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, and "The Great One" Jackie Gleeson. What we have here is....a total disrespect for the Hollywood comic method, then and now. And it scored then and is still a hoot to watch. Reynolds perfected the art of never taking a performance so serious as to suck the life out of it as is in constant evidence here. You didn't have to be a southerner to find plenty of laughs. It's a kind of Americana red-neck pop art that won't die because all of the humor is good natured and supremely rooted in reality. Reynolds just has to show up because this fit his persona quite like a hand in glove. He's at his totally assured smart-aleck best. Jerry Reed not only is the perfect side-kick, but his song nailed the whole affair like few, save Dolly Parton, could. Then there is the "silver bullet" (not the newer watery Coors) of Jackie Gleeson. It's incomprehensible that any other actor could have brought the whole chase home like his Buford T. Justice. Then there's the supporting cast of Sally Fields, Pat McCormick, and Paul Williams who ice the cake with a rich frosting that just ticks all the little extra boxes, especially Fields who no one would have likely guesses would have been such gold in such a role. There won't be such PC incorrect comedies ever made again, with such a sweet core, as five decades have obliterated the fact that good comedy pokes fun without condoning or disparaging. That is why it is such a great film that still works today and is actually a minor masterpiece. Burt was an American iconic actor and this is Burt just being Burt! RIP, you gave us many great moments on screen and other wise.

Still just as entertaining as the first time I saw it. The humor, the car chases, and that classic soundtrack never get old. Even streaming it today, the quality was great and it played smoothly. If you’re a fan of old-school action comedies, this one’s a must-watch.

I once lived in California for the winter. Went to burt Reynolds house in Beverly hills as a fan. The gate was open so I wondered through to the back door. I was young. A big man came to the door. I said that I came across country to see burt Reynolds. It all happened plus more. As far as the movie, everything great! Big fan of this movie! Even bought the car years ago! Of course off a used car lot. Too bad it was blue and not black like the movie. Everything else was the same. I suggest you buy the movie. You may fall in love with it too. Burt once said later before he passed that Sally field was his favorite girl and he wished he could have her back. A lot to talk about with this movie. Huge fan!

This is one of the top movies of the 1970's. In 1977 when it was released it was the 2nd most popular film of the year, just behind Star Wars. It is also one of my favorite car chase movies. Funny as hell and one of Burt Reynolds best. Jackie Gleasons Sheriff Bufford T Justice is also a riot. He should have gotten a best supporting actor oscar for his performance. Whenever he is on in a scene he steals it completely. Sally Field and Jerry Reed also give good performances. They portray the hitch hiking girl that the bandit(Reynolds) picks up, and as the bandits best friend respectively. I am mostly pleased with this blu ray with one or two small problems. The high def video definitely blows away the previous edition of this film on dvd. Although I find it clean with no scratches or dirt (unfortunately I did notice a few white specks here and there), I also found that the picture was somewhat grainy. The grain is not apparent at all times. I know the grain gives the picture a film like texture, but I found it a little distracting at times. The colors however pop out at you with beautiful reds and greens. Detail is definitely improved. Also I found the contrast just a little too dark at times, but not overly. The audio has also been remastered with very good 5.1 Dts-Hd surround sound. It has good spacious sound and good deep bass response. Package also includes a documentary on the making of the film and cb talk tutorial with a real trucker, and also BD Live enabled. If its your first time seeing this film, you will enjoy it very much. Everyone was in top form here. And there are some very funny moments and spectacular auto action. If you want to upgrade from the previous release on dvd, this blu-ray is definitely worth the investment. I just wish it hadn't been a little overly grainy, that is what is keeping this from a perfect score. Considering these small minor problems, and with proper expectations, there are enough good reasons to add this new special edition blu-ray to your collection. Recommended.

Classic winner!

Great picture quality but Dolby Atmos is not as robust as it should be , but is passable

Un film "on the Road" di un'America da sogno con attori mitici e mitica la colonna sonora. Un dvd da avere nella propria filmoteca casalinga

Klasyka! W dodatku płyta ma polskie napisy. Najlepiej wydane 21 zł w życiu

Soy fan de los clásicos de los años 70's y cuando vi que Universal Studios había restaurado en 4K Ultra HD "Smokey and the Bandit" o Dos Picaros Con Suerte, la compré de inmediato. Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones. El único inconveniente es que NO traía Slipcover y eso es muy importante para mí como coleccionista
