What a fantastic movie,I've watched this so many times I've lost count..Burt Reynolds you are one of the best classic legend actor,was so sad to hear about your passing away today,rest in peace Bandit!!!!!
Man, I love this movie. It just never gets old. Barebones plot, with endlessly entertaining execution. Sally Field is adorable.
Just watched it for the first time. It was a fair enough movie, good for some laughs, but certainly weak by today's standards. I would watch it again, yeah...just because it was fun. Definitely a "barebones plot", as someone else has mentioned, but still a good watch.
Sheriff Justice.. Nice guy :)
A real feel god movie that cheers you up!
Still a damn classic, and one of the funniest films ever made... at least from 1977. Highly recommended cinema for those that just need a fun break from life.
Fun fact... This is the film that's responsible for me having a CB radio in my car for years. Too bad it was only me, my mates, and the local hunters that used them around where I lived, but we had a lot of fun with them.
Burt Reynolds, a girl and a car with which to outwit the cops.
Just saw it for the first time. . It's an absolute blast! So fast paced there's not one dull moment. I can see why it's a lot of people's childhood favorite. Also, Sally Fields is a cutie on this. How can you not fall in love with her?
A classic of the auto-smashup genre, with about as much depth and thought as an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard. And that's totally okay by me, as that's basically the name of the game with this type of film: enjoy the mayhem and try not to overthink anything.
Burt Reynolds is at his laid-back best as a legendary bootlegger, coolly skirting the law and forging new trails in his mighty Trans Am, kicking up his feet to casually go with the flow around every obstacle. He makes the whole thing work, really, and the cavalier air of confidence he exudes soon rubs off on the rest of the cast. Jackie Gleason is loads of fun as his nemesis, a particularly persistent Texas sheriff, but he can also fly way off the handle, chewing up scenery like a tacky cartoon character.
The driving is great, inventive to the end, and the carnage is satisfying without being mean-spirited. A good flick to throw on whenever you've got a spare hour to fill, though it's better if it doesn't get your undivided attention.
It's a enjoyable watch with some hilarious moments. The music by Jerry Reed is amazing and there are a lot of catchy tunes. I especially liked the final scene when the bandit tells the smokey where he is and the smokey's car breaks down. Defenitely a great film that I would highly recommend.
Ah this is just a classic. Remember watching it so many times on video, not because it was great, but because it was one of the few videos we actually owned!
