Re: Watch Smokey And The Bandit Full Movie

And fun it was indeed! On top of that it was also a well made, high pace, great film. The story is basically one long chase seen between the smokeys (the police) and the bandit (Burt Reynolds). The car stunts were amazing, it had lots of humor and the acting was great. I especially liked Jerry Reed's Snowman and Jackie Gleason's sheriff. Both were really fun and had me smiling like an idiot when they were on screen. The large roll the radio plays was also a welcome suprise.
In just 1,5 hours of runtime it manages to deliver so much fun. It's a top tier southern 70/80's movie for sure. It on Netflix (at least here in the Netherlands) so if you don't know what to watch, give it a shot!
I am assuming that you\u2019ve seen Smokey and the Bandit or, at the very least, know of the existence of said movie. It\u2019s something of a rite of passage down in the South to watch Burt Reynolds, mustachioed and slicker than motor oil on an iron skillet, wheedle his way through the long arms of the law. He was an antihero when Tony Soprano was still in middle school, a wheelman when Dominic Toretto was still on a tricycle, a Southern Han Solo with better jokes.2
The magnificent stuntman/raconteur Hal Needham4 created and directed Smokey in the same way that you direct a plummeting plane. Jacked on heady doses of testosterone and other influences, the crew filmed all over Atlanta in the fall of 1976. The towns of Jonesboro and McDonough, among others, stood in for east Texas, and Georgia 400 stood in for the highway that connected Atlanta and Texarkana. Watching Smokey today, for Georgians, is like watching The Walking Dead, Ozark or a Marvel movie \u2026 you see what\u2019s happening onscreen and you think, hey, wait a minute, I know where that is \u2026
This is movie and a meal, where I suggest a classic movie for you to watch and provide the recipe to a signature dish that is featured somewhere in the film. This go around the movie is Smokey and the Bandit and the dish is a spicy sloppy-joe like sandwich called the Diablo Sandwich.
My impression after watching Smokey and the Bandit was that the law and people in the US exist separately, if it can be said so: if you want to do something but there is law in your way, why not try breaking it without getting caught?
