Leaves you struggling to keep up with the dialog but its impressive sounding and actually authentic. This happens via everyone's CB radios which was also became very popular at the time, lots of rapid quickfire radio gibberish flying about that sounds cool but only truckers understand.

Along the route they are assisted by many other big rig drivers and locals that all believe the Bandit to be a local southern hero. The various police forces that try to nab the Trans Am of course end up flippin' over, crashing into each other or getting dunked into ditches. The Bandit gets into various scraps and sticky situations along the journey from Texas to Georgia, but naturally evades most cleanly. If you're expecting masses of car carnage then you might be disappointed, the only real devastation we see is to Buford's police car. To achieve this the Sheriff crosses numerous State lines and goes way out of his jurisdiction, seems ridiculous, but then again its not a sensible movie. I don't believe Buford knows about the Bandits illegal cargo, he just wants to kidnap Sally Field's character and drag her back to get married against her will. However the whole angle for these two seems a bit far fetched, they are merely after the Bandit because he picked up Carrie (Sally Field) who was running away from her wedding with Junior. Its quite clear to see the similarity between these two characters and the law enforcers of Hazzard County, especially the simple Junior Justice. Justice played by Jackie Gleason, and Junior Justice played by Mike Henry. On the flip side you have the police which seems to consist of two people, the fat loud Buford T. Despite the fact this duo are breaking the law they are made out to be the good guys, Robin Hood types, just'a good ol' boys.
The Bandit and his partner, one driving a badass muscle car and the other driving a typical all American big rig, tearing across the southern States with the law on their tail.

Its like they made the Marlboro Man the main character.but in a fast car.Įverything about this movie is all American and that's what made it so popular around the world I believe, it was an insight into (southern) American life which many people (outside the US) had never seen before. In this movie we see him at his peak, the tash is dark and bushy, the attire is the stereotypical southern bar-hopping US cowboy, he's laid back but also on the ball, he smokes and he drives a slick black all American Pontiac Trans Am. These movies were pure male fodder, for young lads, petrol heads and showboaters, Reynolds was (at the time) the epitome of the cool ladies man, not necessarily big and strong but rebellious, dashing and cocky, Errol Flynn in a fast car. Back in the late 70's, early 80's there was a definite splurge of these goofy fast car comedies, very loose plots about getting from A to B in a variety of vehicles, lots of slapstick, tomfoolery and sexy ladies. So the Bandit steps up to the challenge with his sidekick the Snowman, they gotta collect the merchandise and haul it back east, if they manage it they stand to win $80,000!ĭirected by Hal Needham and the first of his movies to feature fast cars and Burt Reynolds. The beer was also supposedly one of the finest beers in the USA at the time, but I still have no idea why it couldn't be sold in the east. The snag is, Coors Beer was not allowed to be sold east of the Mississippi River, because.I don't know.

No particular reason for this challenge I might add, this millionaire father and son duo merely want to see if a driver can succeed in the bet, for fun, because.reasons, don't question it. The premise goes like this, two mega rich Texan cowboys want a driver to smuggle a load of Coors Beer from Texas (in the west), to Georgia (in the east), within a set time limit. A lot of the interest here focuses on the automobiles, well the Pontiac Trans Am, but if you have a thing for big American rigs then you'll enjoy this too.
In an odd way, now I think about it, this franchise could well be looked upon as the 'Fast and the Furious' of its day. Not solely of course, but these fast drivin' Southern cowboys really grabbed the public's attention back in the late 70's.

Twas this movie that helped along the creation of the popular cult TV show 'The Dukes of Hazzard'.
