Sad news. By coincidence there was a double-bill of Smokey I and II on TV last night and I ended up watching them both again for the first time in many years, probably since I was a teenager. Still remember being in awe of the black T/A.....
I think Buford T Justice was the surprise star of those movies, but Reynolds was perfectly cast in the Bandit role. RIP.
