I was pretty young when he was in his heyday, but liked his movies.

I pretty much have to vote for Smokey and the Bandit, because it was an iconic movie for the era, and very entertaining. However, Hooper had one of the all-time great movie lines in it. There was some scene where he and his buddies were surrounded by a bunch of thugs in a bar. Burt counted people up and said something like, "There's eight of you and three of us. This isn't fair. You should go back and get more people." That's a great line.

White Lightning also awakened my teenage soul with a semi-racy scene that I still vaguely remember. And Cannonball Run was a fun movie, mostly because of the women in the supercar. Rowr.

Boogie Nights was a very good movie, but it wasn't Burt's best role. The Longest Yard is also a classic.

But I have to go with Smokey and the Bandit.

Gotta go with Smokey even though Boogie Nights is like my second favorite movie ever. Smokey was all Burt and was my favorite movie for many years as a kid. I watched it again recently and still was very entertained. Jackie Gleason as a Southern sheriff was genius casting.

Every Which Way But Loose.

But seriously, Smokey. It and he personified the 70's right there. However, I'll watch Deliverance over Smokey if given the choice.

So, I dunno.

Come on no Longest yard love???

Police Officer: Why'd you drive her car into the bay?

Paul Crewe: Couldn't find a car wash.


My fav line in that movie was

Paul Crewe: The most important thing to remember is: to protect your quarterback - ME!

And only Bert Reynolds makes that line as funny as it is. No one else had the chops.

One last thing about how cool Bert Reynolds was

Georgia State Penitentiary prisoner Harold Morris, who had been wrongly convicted of murder and was later given a full pardon, had a part in the film as an extra. In his book "Twice Pardoned", he recalled some moments with Burt Reynolds:

Although prison officials strongly discouraged it, Reynolds often sat with the prisoners during meal breaks and socialized with them.

A photographer on the set offered to take souvenir photographs of the prisoners individually posing with Reynolds. Many of the prisoners had no money, but Reynolds told the photographer to take all the pictures they prisoners wanted and he (Reynolds) would pay for them.

One of the prisoners asked Reynolds where he lived. Reynolds told him he had homes in Florida and California. The prisoner then asked for his address and when Reynolds asked why, the prisoner explained a) he was a career criminal about to finally get out of prison, and b) after a life spent stealing from people who didn't have money, he wanted to finally burglarize someone who had money.

Reynolds and Morris struck up a friendship during the filming, and at the end Reynolds sent personalized, autograph photos to several of Morris' relatives. He also gave Morris a Book of the Month club membership.

I am in awe of the man just thinking of some of the pussy he got to tap over the years. ( Just imagine Sally Fields in 1978 which may have been her prime.)I wonder what he was plugging during the last few years of his life. Even looking frail and being broke, it was probably a couple of rungs above my best and I've tapped some fine pussy over my years.

Used to get such joy from the end credit bloopers. This time I realized, . . . there is exactly ONE recognized person in the entire reel who is still alive, even counting Mad Dog. So many died suddenly and/or prematurely, starting clear back with Bert Convy dying of cancer as a young man. Even at 82, Burt was a shock.

Quick, before you peek - who can name the one living person in the bloopers.

Yep, that exhaust note is pure testosterone. And speaking of letting the performance of the machinery stand as its own art, he allows the demonstration of futility in pursuing it with a neutered early 80s Trans Am at the 2:00 mark.

Deliverance was such a groundbreaking movie that I had to put that at #1 just ahead of Smokey and the Bandit.

I went with Bandit. But honestly, I can't think of one of his movies that I didn't like. One note on The Longest Yard. I've seen the original with him as Crewe and the remake with him as Nate Scarborough. I thought that they did a really good job sticking to the original script. Even had the he broke my nose scene. Lol. I thought that Adam Sandler pulled off the role pretty well. I would be interested to see him try another Reynolds movie.

Here's some movie trivia: One of the hillbillies that was raping Ned Beatty was also the actor who played Capt. Terrell (Redlegs leader) in Outlaw Josey Wales. Talk about an actor playing bad, bad guys!

Also, my aunt Margaret had a black Trans Am with T-Tops just like the car Burt drove in Smokey & Bandit. It was a beauty. She kept it garaged as a fun car, and sold it in mint condition around 1990. Got big bucks for it.

In the early 70s you were carbureted with leaded gas and no Cat.

HP was only limited by how many CI you wanted to pay for.
The top of the line from the Big 3 were in the range of 375-500 HP.

The fuel crunch and emissions standards were imposed way before the tech was there. HP went way down, in the 125-150 range even in the big V8s. Plus, everything was winding through inefficient analog sensors and reservoirs, so engines couldn't breathe.

Early 80s, they were making first steps with more and more cars goin to fuel injection. But Chevy's Crossfire FI [which was probably what you were driving in that Corvette] was a dog.

Nowadays we're getting power levels back with electronic tuning and boost. So we're getting every bit of power out of a drop of fuel, and we're not bogging the engine down with flow restrictions.

It was truly a huffin' mutha, but it came out a decade later in 87.

When the Grand National first appeared it was 177HP,10 years later the GNX reached 277HP and was a non GM build (ASC McLaren).. Note the front tag.

It's not The Godfather, but it's more fun than you might expect.

It already had a stage musical behind it, so it's kind of like wondering 'is LesMis or Annie any good at all.'

If you like quality musicals, sure. If not, probably not.

Deliverance and The Longest Yard.

After that it was Reynolds trying to be a movie star. Bad scripts, bad casts and just bad movies. How did Jerry Reed become so prominent in his movies? That guy was a horrible actor. I guess he made Burt look good.

BTW, Burt said his most forgettable and regrettable role was in Boogie Nights.

How dare you:harumph:

Jerry Reed wrote the theme song "East Bound and Down" nearly overnight I suppose Burt threw him a bone.
I actually thought he was perfect for that role.

"Hooper". Sally Field, Brian West, Jan-Michael Vincent, Adam Ward, Terry Bradshaw, lots of amazing stunt work, an actual fucking rocket car... what more could you ask for.

Is that the GSX or something similar? (Can't read the emblem sig.)

If so, yes. That was the sort of thing I had in mind.

FAX THE FEELING SOMEWHAT REDEEMED
GNX, an even more grand Grand National.

Absolutely. The movie wouldn't have been the same without him. Also liked him in the role of a hit man trying to kill Robin Williams in The Survivors.

My dad had purchased one of these right before he died.
I sold it on eBay for $70k to a guy named Ford out of Detroit to pay off mom's house.

Would be cool to see it again sometime. Was a badass machine. I still have a grand national.

Hell, they all we’re. Jackie Gleeson was the true MVP though.

Yeah he had some great one liners.

"Nobody....I MEAN NOBODY....makes Buford T Justice look like a possum's pecker"

"My hat blew off Daddy"
"I hope your goddamn head was in it"

The Terry Bradshaw bar fight scene from Hooper. Poor quality video, but still fun as hell. :D
