The directorial debut of stuntman Hal Needham, the motion picture follows Bo "Bandit" Darville (Reynolds) and Cledus "Snowman" Snowfall (Reed), two bootleggers attempting to illegally send 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana to Atlanta. While the Snowman drives the truck carrying the beer, the Bandit drives a Pontiac Trans Am to distract police force enforcement (called blocking) and keep the attention off the Snowman. During their run, they are pursued by Texas canton sheriff Buford T. Justice (Gleason). Smokey and the Brigand was the second-highest-grossing domestic flick of 1977, with $126 one thousand thousand against a budget of $4.3 1000000 (only Star Wars made a college gross that year).

Plot [edit]

Wealthy Texan Big Enos Burdette and his son Little Enos have sponsored a racer in Atlanta'south Southern Classic and desire to celebrate in manner when he wins, so they are seeking a trucker willing to bootleg Coors Beer to Atlanta for their refreshment. They detect local legend Bo "Bandit" Darville at a roadeo at Lakewood Fairgrounds and offer him US$80,000 (equivalent to $341,658 in 2020) to haul 400 cases of Coors from Texarkana (the closest place information technology could exist legally sold at that fourth dimension) to Atlanta in 28 hours. The Bandit takes the bet on the risky and unprecedented job, and recruits his partner Cledus "Snowman" Snow to drive the truck, while Bandit drives a black Pontiac Trans Am bought on advance from the Burdettes every bit a "blocker" to divert attention away from the truck and its illegal cargo.

They arrive in Texarkana one hour early on and load upwardly the truck, but merely as they head back, Carrie, a runaway helpmate, stops Bandit and jumps in his car, unwittingly making him an indirect target of Sheriff Buford T. Justice, a career Texas lawman whose witless son Junior was to take married Carrie. Buford, with Junior along, ignores his own jurisdiction and doggedly chases Bandit all the style to Georgia to retrieve Carrie while various mishaps cause his cruiser to disintegrate on the way.

Bandit attracts more police attention across Dixie as Snowman barrels on toward Atlanta with the contraband beer, just they are helped en route by many colorful characters via CB radio. Neither Buford nor any other lawmen know of Snowman's illegal manifest, while Bandit is also unaware that Buford is chasing him because of Carrie, whose jumpiness inspires Bandit to requite her the CB handle "Frog".

Simply afterwards re-entering Georgia, Snowman is rescued by Bandit after being stopped by a Georgia Country Patrol motorcycle trooper, and state and local police intensely pursue Bandit with roadblocks and a helicopter to track his movement. With four miles left, Bandit, discouraged by the unexpected mounting attention, is gear up to give up, but Snowman, who initially thought they would fail, takes the lead and smashes through the roadblock at the fairgrounds' main entrance. They make it back one infinitesimal after their time limit, but instead of taking the payoff, Carrie and Bandit accept a double-or-zip offering from Little Enos: a challenge to sew to Boston and bring back clam chowder in 18 hours. They quickly escape in one of Big Enos's 13 Cadillacs as police force flood the racetrack.

After passing Buford's badly damaged cruiser on the roadside, Bandit gets on the CB and initially directs him to the Burdettes, but then respectfully gives his existent location—right backside Buford, who continues his chase leaving Junior behind, and with more parts falling off his cruiser every bit he limps off later on Brigand.

Product [edit]

Development [edit]

Needham originally planned the film as a depression-budget B movie with a product price of $i 1000000,^[iii] with Reed as the Bandit. It was not until Reynolds read the script—and said he would star—that the film was aimed at a more mainstream release; Reed would now portray the Bandit's friend the Snowman (Reed would eventually play the Bandit in Smokey and the Brigand Office 3 while Reynolds fabricated a cameo virtually that motion-picture show's end). At that time Reynolds was the top box role star in the world. Reportedly, Needham had corking difficulty getting any studios or producers to accept his project seriously, equally in the film industry, he was better known as a stuntman. He managed to obtain studio attending after his friend Reynolds agreed to portray the Bandit in the flick.

In the original script, Carrie was called Kate while Big Enos and Little Enos were called Kyle and Dickey. The Bandit's car was a second-generation Trans Am and the prize for completing the run was a new truck rather than $80,000.^[4] Reynolds revealed in his autobiography that Needham had written the start draft script on legal pads. Upon showing it to his friend, Reynolds told Needham that it was the worst script he had always read, but that he would notwithstanding make the movie. Most of the dialogue was improvised on gear up.^[iv]

Universal Studios bankrolled Smokey and the Bandit for $five.3 million, figuring it was a practiced risk.^[3] Just two days before production was to brainstorm, Universal sent a "hatchet homo" to Atlanta to inform Needham that the budget was existence trimmed past $1 meg. With Reynolds' salary at $1 meg, Needham was left with just $three.iii million to brand the pic. Needham and assistant director David Hamburger spent 30 hours revising the shooting schedule.^[iii]

"Buford T. Justice" was the name of a existent Florida Highway Patrolman known to Reynolds' male parent, who was once Police Main of Riviera Beach, Florida. His father was as well the inspiration for the give-and-take "sumbitch" used in the motion-picture show, a variation of the phrase "son-of-a-bowwow" that, co-ordinate to Reynolds, he uttered quite often. Gleason was given gratuitous rein to ad-lib dialogue and brand suggestions. It was his idea to accept Junior alongside him throughout. In particular, the scene where Sheriff Justice unknowingly encounters the Bandit in the "choke and puke" (a roadside diner) was not in the original story, but was rather Gleason's idea.

The motion picture's theme vocal, "Due east Bound and Downwardly", was written almost overnight by Reed. He gave Needham a preview of the song and when he initially got no reaction from the managing director, offered to rewrite the song. Needham, however, liked the vocal and then much, he assured Reed non to change a word;^[five] it would get one of Reed'south biggest hits and his signature vocal.^[6]

The film features the custom habiliment and costuming of Niver Western Wear of Fort Worth, Texas.^[7] Niver provided much of the western attire worn in the picture, equally well as the custom-made sheriff's uniforms (waist size 64") that Gleason wore throughout the moving-picture show.

While made to take reward of the ongoing 1970s CB radio fad, the motion picture added to the craze.^[8] Though the film Moonrunners (1975) is the precursor to the television series The Dukes of Hazzard (1979–1985), from the same creator and with many identical settings and concepts, the popularity of Smokey and the Bandit and similar films helped go the Dukes serial on the air. Three actors from the principal cast of The Dukes of Hazzard appear in pocket-sized uncredited roles in Smokey and the Brigand: Ben Jones, John Schneider, and Sonny Shroyer (who played a police officeholder in both). In return, Reynolds portrayed Boss Hogg (originally portrayed by Sorrell Booke) in the film adaptation The Dukes of Hazzard (2005). Reynolds is referenced past name in several early episodes of the series.

Casting [edit]

Before Gleason was cast in the motion picture, Richard Boone was originally considered for the office of Buford T. Justice.^[iv] Emerge Field only accepted the part after her agent advised her that she needed a big flick role on her résumé. Reynolds actively pushed for her casting after Universal initially resisted, challenge Field was non attractive enough. Field enjoyed making the movie, just remembers that near the unabridged projection was improvised.^[9]

Filming [edit]

Principal photography of the film began on August xxx, 1976.^[10] The movie was primarily filmed in Georgia, in the cities of McDonough, Jonesboro, and Lithonia. The scenes set in Texarkana were filmed in Jonesboro and the surrounding surface area and many of the chase scenes were filmed in the surrounding areas on Highway 54 between Fayetteville and Jonesboro for a majority of the driving scenes, Mundy'southward Factory Road, Main Street in Jonesboro, Georgia State Road 400, I-85 (Pleasant Hill exit) and in McDonough. However, the scene where they drive through the Beat out gas station was filmed in Ojai, California on the corner of Ojai Avenue and El Paseo Route. Much of the surrounding scene comes from that immediate vicinity. The scene featuring the racetrack was filmed at Lakewood Speedway at the former Lakewood Fairgrounds on Atlanta's south side. The roller coaster in the picture show was the Greyhound. It had not been used for some time and was repainted for the moving-picture show. It was destroyed in Smokey and the Bandit II and in a flashback scene in Part iii.^[11] The area around Helen, Georgia was used for some locations. The scene where Sheriff Justice's car has the door knocked off past a passing semi truck was shot on Georgia State Route 75, three miles (4.viii km) north of Helen. The tow truck commuter was a local garage owner, Berlin Wike. Reynolds and Field began dating during the filming.^[12]

Vehicles [edit]

Needham saw an advertizement for the before long-to-exist-released 1977 Pontiac Trans Am and knew correct away that would be the Brigand's automobile, or, as Needham referred to it, a character in the pic. He contacted Pontiac and an agreement was made that four 1977 Trans Ams and ii Pontiac LeMans four-door sedans would be provided for the movie.^[xiii] The Trans Ams were actually 1976-model cars with 1977 forepart ends (from 1970 to 1976, both the Firebird/Trans Am and Chevrolet Camaro have 2 round headlights and in 1977, the Firebird/Trans Am was changed to four rectangular headlights, and the Camaro remained unchanged). The decals were inverse to 1977-style units, equally evidenced by the engine size callouts on the hood scoop being in liters rather than cubic inches, as had been the case in 1976. The hood scoop on these cars says "6.half-dozen LITRE", which, in 1977, would have denoted an Oldsmobile 403-equipped motorcar or a non-W-72, 180 hp version of the 400 Pontiac engine.

The cars being 1976 models, the engines fitted to them were actually 455ci powerplants, the last year these engines were offered for auction before withdrawal.^[14] All four of the cars were badly damaged during product,^[15] one of which was all but destroyed during the spring over the dismantled Mulberry bridge. The Trans Am used for said jump was equipped with a booster rocket, the same type that was used by Evel Knievel during his failed Ophidian River Canyon jump. Needham served equally the driver for the stunt (in identify of Reynolds), while Lada St. Edmund was in the aforementioned car (in identify of Field). Past the moving-picture show's catastrophe, the last surviving Trans Am and LeMans were both barely running and the other cars had get parts donors to go on them running. This gives rise to diverse continuity errors with Justice's patrol car, which during some hunt sequences is shown with a black rear fender, which then reverts to the car'due south statuary color again in afterward scenes. When it is finally torn off along with the car's roof in the affect with the girder, the missing fender nevertheless reappears afterwards in the film. The Burdettes' car is a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible painted in "Candy Red" color scheme and is seen briefly at the showtime of the movie and in the final scene as the Bandit, the Snowman, Fred the dog, and Frog use it to make their escape. Three Kenworth W900A curt-frame semi trucks, driven past Reed, were each equipped with 38-inch sleepers. 2 units were 1974 models, as evidenced past standard silverish Kenworth emblems on the truck grille, and i unit of measurement was a 1973 model, equally evidenced by the gold-painted Kenworth emblem on the truck's grille, signifying Kenworth's fifty years in business concern. The paint code for each truck was coffee chocolate-brown with gilt trims and the 48-foot (15 chiliad) mural trailer used was manufactured by Hobbs Trailers in Texas with a non-operational Thermo King Refrigeration unit. This is obvious, because at that place is no fuel tank on the underside of the trailer to power the refrigeration unit of measurement, and the unit of measurement is never heard running.^[16]

Legal status of Coors beer [edit]

In 1977, Coors was unavailable for sale east of Oklahoma. Its lack of additives and preservatives meant that Coors could spoil in ane calendar week without refrigeration, explaining the motion-picture show's 28-hour deadline.^[17] A 1974 Time magazine article explains that Coors was and then coveted for its lack of stabilizers and preservatives, and Coors Banquet Beer had a cursory renaissance. Future Vice President Gerald Ford, later a trip to Colorado, hid it in his luggage to accept it back to Washington, D.C. President Dwight D. Eisenhower had a steady supply airlifted by the Air Forcefulness to Washington. Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox would bring several cases later on playing on the West Coast, past stashing information technology in the equipment trunks on the squad'south plane. Frederick Amon smuggled it from Colorado to North Carolina and sold information technology for 4 times the retail toll.^[18]

Reception [edit]

Box part [edit]

Smokey and the Bandit was a sleeper hit.^[21] It premiered at Radio City Music Hall in New York Metropolis, where it performed badly.^[22] It then opened in only the South of the United States over the Memorial Mean solar day weekend and grossed $2,689,851 in 386 theaters. By the stop of June, it had played in major Southern markets, including Charlotte, Atlanta, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Memphis, Dallas, and Oklahoma City, grossing $eleven.9 million. It opened in other Northern states at the cease of July.^[23] With an original upkeep of $5.iii million (cut to $4.3 million two days before initial production),^[3] the moving-picture show eventually grossed $126,737,428 in N America,^[24] making it the second-highest-grossing movie of 1977 (simply Star Wars earned more than, with $775.five million). The worldwide gross is estimated at over $126 million.^[3] Reynolds said in 2015 that he most enjoyed this film, and had the most fun making it, of his career.^[25]

Disquisitional response [edit]

Film critic Leonard Maltin gave the picture a good rating (iii stars out of a possible 4) and characterized it every bit "About every bit subtle as The Three Stooges, just a classic compared to the sequels and endless rip-offs which followed."^[26] In his own review in the Chicago Tribune, Gene Siskel gave the film two stars and complained that the film failed to tell the audience when the clock started on the beer run, thus reducing suspense. He claimed that the Bandit is never made aware of Frog's leaving Junior at the altar, which is why the Bandit continually asks why a Texas sheriff is chasing him.^[27] Notwithstanding, this is inaccurate; within seconds of Brigand picking her upwardly, Frog tells him "in that location is a wedding in search of a bride" and goes on to explain her sick-brash romance with Inferior, as the Brigand holds upwards the CB mic for the Snowman to hear. The moving picture'due south editors, Walter Hannemann and Angelo Ross, were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture show Editing.

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 77% rating based on 31 reviews. The site'southward consensus states; "Not much in the head simply plenty below the hood, Smokey and the Brigand is infectious fun with enough of car wrecks to keep your eyes glued."^[28] Alfred Hitchcock stated that the film was one of his favorites.^[29] Upon meeting Reynolds, Billy Bob Thornton told him that the S considers the film to be less cinema and more documentary.^[xxx] Smokey and the Bandit was released in the United Kingdom on August 28, 1977, and was a success there, garnering positive reviews.^[31]

Cultural impact [edit]

Pontiac Trans Am [edit]

Later on the debut of the moving picture, the Pontiac Trans Am became wildly popular, with sales almost doubling within two years of the film's release. It outsold its Chevrolet Camaro counterpart for the first fourth dimension ever.^[32] Reynolds was given the 1977 vehicle used during promotion of the motion picture every bit a gift, though the car itself never actually appeared in the film. Because of the popularity of the picture show and the sales success of the Trans Am, president of Pontiac Alex Mair promised to supply Reynolds with a Trans Am each yr. Due to his fiscal difficulties in 2014, Reynolds put his vast collection of artwork and memorabilia up for auction, including the Trans Am. Loftier estimates for the car were upwardly to $80,000, just the actual sale price was $450,000. Too up for auction was a go-kart replica of the car, which sold for nearly $14,000.^[33] In 2015 a Florida-based motorcar customization company appear that it would build 77 Trans Ams modeled subsequently the auto that Reynolds drove in the film. These new models were built off the aforementioned Camaro platform, came with the Pontiac arrowhead, flaming bird, and Bandit logos, and the instrument panels, centre consoles, and hood scoops emulating their 1977 counterparts, and were signed by Reynolds. Some differences included the use of a supercharged 454-cid (7.4-liter) Chevrolet-sourced engine that put out 840 HP, and iv round headlights, which appeared on the 1967–69 Firebirds/Trans Ams but; the actual 1977–81 models had rectangular headlights.^[34]

Diablo sandwich [edit]

The "diablo sandwich" ordered past Sheriff Justice in the Arkansas barbecue restaurant scene has entered popular civilization as a small-scale reference to the film. Though no administrative source identifies the composition of the sandwich, in that location are several possibilities. A segment of the CMT program Reel Eats used a sloppy joe-style recipe consisting of seasoned footing beef, corn, and sour cream.^[35] Some other proposal, based more than closely on images from the film and the shooting location of the scene (at an Old Hickory House restaurant in Georgia), is pulled pork and hot sauce on a hamburger bun. Other sources in Due east Texas (from whence Sheriff Justice hails) are familiar with the popular regional effeminateness known as the Diablo Sandwich. Information technology consists of whatever of the diverse Louisiana-way hot sauces on Texas Toast-way bread alongside the fourth most famous product of Pittsburg, Texas (behind Pilgrim'southward Pride, Cavender's, and Carroll Shelby)—Pittsburg Hot Links.^[36]

The Bandit Run [edit]

Showtime run in 2007 to celebrate the 30th ceremony of the motion picture, The Brigand Run was the brainchild of Dave Hall, owner of Restore A Muscle Car. A group of Trans Am owners and fans of the movie take part in an annual road trip from Texarkana to Jonesboro, recreating the route taken by the characters in the film. The Bandit Run quickly became a fixture, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movie with a special 2017 screening of the pic attended by Reynolds and a recreation of the bound undertaken past the Bandit and Frog beyond a river.^[37]

Mobil 1 commercial [edit]

In 2014, petroleum company Mobil 1 produced television commercials, featuring then-NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, closely based on the film. Called Smoke is the Bandit and playing on Stewart's nickname, the commercials featured him every bit the Bandit opposite commentators Darrell Waltrip every bit the Snowman and Jeff Hammond as Buford T. Justice. The story replaced the Coors beer with Mobil 1 products. The advertisements lampoon the film and characteristic a Pontiac Trans Am and a cover version of the vocal Due east Leap and Downwardly. The commercials were produced later on Stewart mentioned that the pic was one of his favorites.^[38]

Tv set censorship and alternative versions [edit]

When Smokey and the Brigand commencement aired on American network television in the early 1980s, censors were faced with the challenge of toning downward the raw language of the original film. For this purpose, they overdubbed dialogue deemed offensive, which was common practise. The near noted change made for network broadcast was the replacing of Buford's oft-spoken phrase "sumbitch" (a contraction of "son of a bowwow"; commonly in reference to the Bandit) with the phrase "scum bum". This phrase achieved a level of popularity with children and the 2007 Hot Wheels release of the 1970s Firebird Trans Am has "scum bum" emblazoned on its tail.

Except for Gleason, the original actors mostly redubbed their own lines for the television version. Player Henry Corden, who voiced Fred Flint subsequently original performer Alan Reed died the same year the film was released, was used to supplant a considerable amount of Sheriff Justice's dialogue. In the U.K., the heavily dubbed version was shown for a number of years, particularly by the BBC. Still, in more contempo years, the original version has been shown (on ITV, a commercial channel), normally with the stronger language edited out, often quite awkwardly. The theatrical release has a few lines deleted, including an edit in which Sheriff Justice tells a state trooper to "fuck off" afterward the sheriff chosen his vehicle "a piece of crap". His expletive is obscured when a passing big rig sounds its horn. At the time, using "fuck" would immediately require an R rating and this self-censorship allowed the motion-picture show to avoid this rating and accomplish a much larger audience. However, the scene and the obscured curse were played for comedy value and written as such, with the passing truck being the gag of the scene more than than a fashion to avoid the censors.

In 2006, a DVD re-release was issued of Smokey and the Bandit featuring a digitally remastered audio rails with 5.i Dolby-uniform surround sound. Many of the picture show'due south original sounds were replaced. For instance, the diesel engine starting time and run-upwardly sequence in the opening sequence of the film was completely dubbed over with a totally new audio. A few other examples of sound upshot replacement occur when the Brigand takes off after getting the reluctant Cledus involved in the bet, the Bandit coming to a screeching halt on a roadway moments before picking up Carrie, and when Buford's automobile acme comes off. Some of the original sound effects (such as Cledus's dog Fred barking) and music (such as the concluding chase to the Southern Classic) were removed and not replaced. Before DVD releases and the 40th Ceremony Blu-ray of the film have the original soundtrack intact.^[39] Major portions of the audio background have been modified with unlike engine sounds or tire squeals from the original moving picture. The updated version of the film features sounds inaccurate for what would be produced past the Trans Am or the numerous other Pontiac vehicles in the film. The original motion picture had correct sounds that were unremarkably recorded live as the action took identify.

Sequels [edit]

The moving-picture show was followed by 2 sequels: Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) and Smokey and the Bandit Role 3 (1983). The second motion picture was a modest box role success, earning $66.1 million confronting a $17 million upkeep.

The third moving picture – which had no involvement from either Hal Needham or Sally Field and contained only a short cameo appearance by Burt Reynolds – revolved entirely around Jackie Gleason's character, was panned past critics and was a box part bomb, earning only $7 million against a $9 1000000 budget.^{[40] [41] [42]}

Television spin-off films [edit]

A series of four made-for-Television set spin-off films (Bandit Goes Country, Bandit Bandit, Dazzler and the Bandit, and Bandit's Silver Angel) were produced in 1994 for Universal Tv set'southward Action Pack with histrion Brian Bloom playing a younger version of the Bandit. The three original films introduced two generations of the Pontiac Trans Am and the Contrivance Stealth in the television receiver movies.

Goggle box series [edit]

In October 2020, it was appear that a Smokey and the Bandit TV series is in development, with a airplane pilot written past David Gordon Dark-green and Brian Sides and will too executive produced with his Crude House confederates Jody Hill, Danny McBride and Brandon James and Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins of Fuzzy Door.^[43]
