Product Description

It's easy to assume this is just another dumb redneck comedy from Burt Reynolds's years of underachievement. But it's not bad as a dumb redneck comedy at all. Directed by career stuntman Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit is just a goofy chase starring a bunch of Reynolds's Hollywood cronies. New to the job as film boss, Needham brings a silly but energized sensibility to the production and an action man's need to see things moving. But he also has a distinctive feeling for relationships, and he's good with a joke. Put all that together, and Smokey is, at the very least (and unlike its sequels), a simple and original pleasure. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, optional French and Spanish subtitles, and cast and crew bios. --Tom Keogh

Received in excellent shape as usual. The updated audio and blu-ray image is a great bonus for this flick. Good classic car chase movie, Burt hamming it up. Fun movie!

Item arrived very quickly. My boy friend has an affinity to this movie as he is an original owner of the car and has it in VHF. Wasn't sure how much better a blu ray version would really be but it does look better on the big TV.

Thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable. Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields in their prime and at their best. The second disc provides personal interviews and well as interesting facts concerning the making of the movie in particuliar about Burt's relationship with Pontiac after the movie came out.

A fun, classic 70s comedy.
If you missed the 70s, watch this movie plus Saturday Night Fever and you'll be set. Smokey features Burt Reynolds at his cheeky, comedic best. Read more
