    This film is garbage. Pure garbage. Take your standard Burt Reynolds movie plot from this era. yeah, they're chasing after something. This time it's a stuffed fish.

    Yes, I'm serious. Just when you thought the pregnant elephant plot was stupid, we get the stuffed fish.Jackie Glea...( read more)son spends the film discussing how his wife has hair on her face and a penis while Jerry Reed takes over the Bandit role from Burt Reynolds (he does make a cameo). That's a sign right there- Burt Reynolds wouldn't star in this garbage. This movie isn't bad. It's legendary bad.

    I think the Bandit had outstayed his welcome by number 3.

    This is one of the biggest stinker Smokey and the Bandit series. The Bandit may be back, but it ain't Burt Reynolds. The plot is putrid, the supporting cast is horrible, and there is actually a point during all this mess when the pity for Jackie Gleason lifts.

    This movies is so bad, Superman swooping into the theater could not save it. Take the major plot points of the original Smokey and the Bandit and add in some of the most ridiculous reasons for stunt work and you have it.

    Boy is this one missing Burt Reynolds even though we do get him for a brief moment @ the end. Jerry Reed just can't carry this mess but if you're only in it for the Jackie Gleason you get lots of his Sheriff Justice antics. The laughs are few and far between though

    I loved it, it sees the Snowman pretending to be the Bandit, lol
