Cool

I know he has done tons of other movies ... and I am a fan of most of those movies but for me ... Him and that black and gold S/E T/A just hooked me to hot rods... He will always be the Bandit in my eyes. Between him and Gleason with their smart mouths i am quite sure i got that from them as well. Bandit out... EASTBOUND and DOWN 10 / 10 on the side Rest In a Pontiac sir..

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.
